well the MaxFPS setting REALLY helped a bunch, now it is smooth as glass all the time, thanks again for the help! Mike

@JujuMan I am using 1.02 @Cibit Vysnc is disabled, Ill deff take a look at the other stuff though @EtherealN You make an excellent point, it wouldnt be notacable if it stuck to a certain FPS, Ill take a look at that tweak and report back. @Rusty_M: Cant really play it, I have an old joystick, but this Sim deserves the best, so I have to wait til the end of the month to order the TM Warthog and a set of rudder pedals. I did discover how to turn off and on the FPS counter in the game instead of using fraps, but it still gives the same readouts with no slowdown. Thanks for all the comments guys, I really appreciate it! Mike

thanks for the tip, I just tried that but no luck in FPS boost. I tried the "winter attack" track, and while looking outside the helo in external view, while either sitting on the runway or flying through the city it sticks to 30 FPS like glue, other times its up to 70...sigh....any more ideas? Thanks Mike

ya just created a specific file for the nvidia setup, AA and AAF dont seem to work if you dont. Now just watching the tracks after takeoff i get up to 160 fps :lol:

well, turning the water from high to norm boosted me from 26 to around 38-40 fps while looks around the airfield. Reinstalled the game to make sure I used the DX9 and also turned sli on and off, that didnt affect anything. Wierd lol

ah ok

this post should have the file. as for fraps, it is still choppy with or without it turned on. DxDiag.txt

Hey guys, I wish my first post here was more joyous, but such is life I guess. I have been interested in flight sims forever and had tons of the old microprose, janes, and a few other games way back in the day. I recently decided to get into DCS blackshark, and then possibly A-10c down the line. I just put together a new PC a few days ago, with an I7-950(now overclocked to 3.7ghz) 2 MSI GTX 580's in SLI, also overclocked to 900mhz ,H70 cpu cooler etc. Bought the CD copy of blackshark, flight manual, and just waiting til the end of the month for a Thrustmaster Warthog. Now I can run every game I play maxed out except....you guessed it.... DCS Blackshark. I only get around 25-26 FPS when looking around outside the airfield on the *Convoy Attack* Track. The wierd thing is that no matter if I move the Nvidia Slider to performance or quality(maximum AA, AAF etc) it STILL is capped at 26 fps at the airfield. I have to say I was expecting better preformance on a single 1920x1080 monitor. I have the latest Nvidia drivers 266.58, any help would be appreciated, thanks! Oh and Im using FRAPS to see my FPS Mike
