Thank you all and thank you MIghtymoo. Just wanted to confirm that this made a big difference for me. I've been running 4K for a while, upgraded to 4000 RTX series and a new MB and CPU and still noticed stuttering even though I was getting obscene framerates since 2.9 and multi-threading. Setting max FPS and background FPS to 120 made it very smooth. I might finally be satisfied and may never buy a new CPU or GPU again for DCS. I've been chasing this for 15 years. *Edit I did notice a single line sort of 'tearing' the screen and had to set Vsync to get rid of it. Odd since it's a Gsync monitor.

I'm having the same issue, it seems to happen when you end the dcs.openbeta_server window and restart the program. When you open the GUI Advanced option and Pure client are reset.

Can confirm uninstalling old version and reinstalling new 2.9 modular version resolved the issue.

I was not aware, thank you. I will adjust, just thought it was a hard coded limit. I’m not sure I understand why it flips to CPU bound. Looking for a CPU max limit as well.

Thanks Flappie. That thread is 13 pages deep. Where in the thread or how do you disable the core? Setting the Max FPS to 180 seems to be working for me but that's only if you are reaching 180 FPS and theoretical CPU of 450 FPS, I think.

Skael - Did you check if Vertical sync is enabled in Nvidia Control and in Game, or maybe Max frame rate? I may have found something and it may be with higher end PCs. If might be that we're hitting the theoretical FPS limit. I've noticed when it's normal it shows GPU Bound and shows a theor. limit which on mine is very high like 380 FPS where the actual FPS is around 180 (Seems to max out there for me.) When I was flying over water with little detail it would start to stutter, also zoomed on the panels, or F10 map would do it too. It would switch from GPU BOUND to CPU BOUND FPS LIMIT. Not sure if this is a 4k and 2K thing and may not affect 1080P? Disabling efficiency cores did not help. I've set my max frame rate to 180 and background max to 180. Going to test some more, will advise. Per Lange_666: Default FPS is set to 180 FPS in Graphics.lua file in \Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Config. Will only help if you are hitting 180 FPS, thanks to Lange_666, helped me out for sure.

I'm having the same issue. Everything is fine, FPS is is pretty solid around 150 FSP which is extraordinary. I was getting about 90 FPS in 2.8. As I fly around a bit and get away from the airbase is when I start to notice. I can see the frames drop to 40 and then shoot right back up to 180 and drop again over and over. It's so fast it's hard to read the numbers so it may be even lower. Happens on several maps and aircraft. My specs: i7-13700K, 64 GB RAM, RTX-4080 @ 3840x2160, 2TB 990 PRO NVMe.

Forgot the old school command line, thank you!

When I run the new DCS Server it fails to launch with DCS Updater 2.16.3.18 Can't run C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World Open Beta Server\bin-mt/DCS.exe: (2) The system cannot find the file specified. The path is wrong and and there is no bin-mt folder. When I run the DCS.exe from C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta Server\bin\DCS.exe I also get an error: Authorization Failed Authorization is valid for 2d 23h 59m. The following DLCs are not authorized and will be disabled: TheChannel. Then it disappears if I hit OK.

Andrei, Looks like you were in a similar position as me, I have an RTX 2080 almost ready to pull the trigger. Looking forward to your comparison. Do you run anything at 4K? Thanks, JT.

For real? I don't see the 2.8 community version, where can one download it? Think I've found it. Thank you for posting. https://discord.gg/scjnfDap https://github.com/Penecruz/VAICOMPRO-Community/tree/v2.8.0.0

Thank you for the clarification. In regards to the following: Mk-82AIR hit 0 kills 1 shot 4 numHits 4 Would that indicate there were no direct hits but one or more objects were damaged by 4 bombs and eventually one kill?

What is the difference between hits and numHits in slMod? Are hits included in numHits? Didn't see a description in the documentation.

So are you the only two that saw that Apache at the end of the video?

Yes, I've seen the same issue on several aircraft. Something has changed in the gamma or global lighting setting. Even the glass on the analog instruments seems to be "glowing". Hope DCS doesn't see this as updated lighting improvement.
