So what games are you comparing this to then? Because I cannot think of many more flight sims to compare it with. You could say IL2 1946, but the graphics are old, so that's why that game is able to give a good decent FPS now. The other thing about IL2 1946, is that it doesn't use anywhere near the calculations this game does hence the reason you get better FPS. Hate to say it, but that's exactly the reason. The cpu is making so many calculations in a sim that it starts to slow things up. Games like Battlefield3 can be played at good FPS because they don't use the calculations these games do. Take a look at War Thunder, it has fantastic graphics and good FPS, but it's a smaller map with nothing much to calculate. I can be playing FC3, at 60 FPS if I just fly along and let go of a few missiles, but when it all starts happening below and above that's when I get a FPS hit. And that's because the Ai have started their War and along with that comes more calculations and more stress on the CPU.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

Nvidia. How do I do this? I don't see "autoexec.cfg" in any of those places you mention. Thanks!!

Yes, but I would say it will still be one big lagg fest when it's out of beta. I was a die hard Operation Flashpoint fan back in the days, but even back then it wasn't as laggy as Arma3 is today. What map makers normally end up doing is limiting the map to a small combat area just to make player v player battles less laggy. It will never have something like a 50 v 50 player battle over a large area like it's supposed to do, without the massive lagg and the red box telling your team mates your timming out.

@mmaruda - I have to agree with some of what you say, but to be honest Arma3, is so far from even been good in it's current state. Whats the point in a massive map like in Arma 3, if the game play isn't good enough to match it? Seeing choppers, infantry, vehicles, lagg like they do in Arma3, just doesn't do it for me. Just like sitting in a heli or driving for what seems like eternity just to get to one location becomes boring pretty fast. Yes you can take in the scenery on route and all that might be great a few times, but the whole games gets boring and frustrating due to the lagg this game produces.

You should get Battlefield 2 and then get the mod Project Reality.

Either the manual is wrong or I have a bug somewhere? Because when I select the Aim 120, and press key 6 for visual mode (like it tells me to in the manual,) then I get the mode in the picture I uploaded below. However, if I select Aim 120 and press key 2 I do get a Visual Mode. So my question is this >> Will I enter flood mode by pressing key 2 and not key 6 after selecting the Aim 7? The manual says press key 6 after selecting the Aim 7 to enter flood Mode, but it also told me to do that to enter Visual Mode after selecting Aim 120. Could someone please tell me what the Mode is in the picture I uploaded. Really is annoying if the manual reads wrong because it's hard to learn the game with the confusion about what key does what and having to second guess. Thankyou!!

Well I'm sure we would all like a constant 60 FPS if we had the choice, but you obviously haven't played FSX, X Plane 10, Cliffs Of Dover, if you haven't seen a bad as engine as this one. The one good thing about this one is that the new engine might just make all these extra features worth while, or would you prefer it if they kept everything as it was until we saw what the other engine did? But take into account that we would have to wait a number of years to see what we see today.

I would say most people who buy these type of games have the computers to run them now. Do you really think the developers are going to just stick with old technology and not move forward in anyway? Seriously, we would all still be living in caves if life was like that. I would suggest buying a new computer if you are having problems with the game. Many people like myself are looking forward to seeing all these new features. I have what I would call a decent computer, it's not a top of the range one, but I can run the game at 50 to 34 FPS. I am just about to lock my frames at 30 FPS, because I see that as been totally playable still. If you cannot get 30 FPS you definitely need a new computer.

I just downloaded the zip and tried to install it, but I think I am doing something wrong. All that happened when I unzipped it to where it was supposed to be unzipped, is that it created five folders alongside the original zips. I guess I am suppose to zip inside a zip or something, is this correct? Can someone explain the install a little better? Thanks!!

Sorry, but like you said that is at night and I cannot see the terrain. Can I ask why you didn't just do a day one?

I was just wondering if there any good terrain mods that work with this DCS world? or any other Mods that make the surrounding look better like trees and that?

What part of the knob is ugly? If you are going to say it all then it's just a knob so no big deal. Just try not looking at the knob is my advice. My whole face is ugly and unfortunately I have to wake up and look in the mirror lol.

I am just gutted that I missed it. Can they not message me and give me an allowance lol. I might be waiting ages for it to drop again or do they have sales like this often?

How to do that? Because I don't want to keep using Badicam to do it.

Can someone confirm this is how you do it? Also, I would like to know what you think of my setting I have included in the picture I uploaded? Do you think I could put the bars up for example and not see much, if any FPS drop? Update. I don't see it here >>>>"autoexec.cfg within the Saved Games\Config\ directory with the command maxfps = X [someone please correct me if I am wrong]"<<<< Could someone please direct me to where i can alter the max FPS. Thanks!!

I was just wonder what FPS would you consider good for this game or that make the game playable? I get between 52 and 35 FPS and I am wondering if there is anyway way I can get it to run more balanced instead of so up and down? Maybe show me some settings you have that would work well me me? I have just switched heat blur on also because I am not sure if that is such a FPS killer. Thanks

I was just hoping to hold out for the next sale, I really am gutted that I missed out on purchasing the P-51D for was it $9 ? Do you reckon there will be another sale anytime soon?

Are you saying Vsync works better using the one in the game settings Mastiff? It's just when I turn it off in Nvidia Control panel and use the one in the game, I get tearing and things like that when I look around the cockpit. Or were you meaning it's better then the in game Vsync?

Thanks, but this leads me to one last question. When would flood mode be better to use then Vert mode? Would flood be better suited to an Aim7 missile if that's even possible?

That's what I also see and am using it right now. I enabled Vsync in Nvidia Control Panel, because the one in game doesn't appear to work for me. I don't see any splitting around the cockpit now with my track Ir.

Any chance on answering this before it's fix still? Can you use a medium range missile at close range? Like right behind an Aircraft. I ask this because I have been behind a target, locked him with the Aim 120, and he easily evades it ever time. So are medium range missiles named medium for that purpose? That you cannot use them at short range? If that is the case what is the minimum range you could use them up to? Thankyou!!

Oh well, I suppose I can take comfort from the fact it's not me been a really bad fighter pilot. Hell, I don't think captain Kirk, on the StarShip Enterprise could tackle them babies if they are truly indestructible.

Sorry to ask, but is this some type of joke? Are you telling me things are impossible to shoot down because of Indestructible aircraft? How long will that take to fix then?

Well I am trying to get to learn about the F15 in FC3. However, I think The Aim 120 and other missiles are not working properly. I see an explosion behind the aircraft I target, but then it just continues flying as if it hasn't been touched. Same with the cannon, right up behind the target aircraft all guns blazing and it takes no damage? Are these the bugs he is talking about?
