We are in desperate need of more worn/dirty liveries to pair with the upcoming Iraq/Afghanistan maps

Any idea when we can expect these in game ? I am currently using a few of your liveries from the User files .

The new G effect is wonderful ! Huge improvement. Especially as a viper guy this is a very welcome change

+1 . The cockpit textures leave a lot to be desired.

SpecialK over in the ED discord helped me out: I tried this: Low Latency mods goes to ultra Texture Filtering - Quality goes to the max performance setting Threaded optimimization goes to ON And pre-rendered frames goes to 1 - your GPU will never be able to pre-render 4 frames... I am not Cpu limited, stuttering is much better. Not a perfect fix but a step in the right direction. Still happens down low, but the issue is much less pronounced. CPU usage hasnt changed much.

Its even doing it in the menus...

I am "cpu limited" alternating between render thread and main thread causing constant microstutters emphsised when near the ground . Regardless of settings; ive tried everything. Lowering PD, using Open XR to change resolution, Page files, Process lasso, MT.bin, shadows on off etc, you name it. What has me scratching my head is I should be GPU limited with a 3070TI? My I7 12700K is overclocked to 5.0 Ghz all cores. My CPU hovers around 20% for the P-Cores with the highest single core showing about 40%. My GPU is only at 70% Could it be not enough ram or V/Ram? On an empty mission FPS usually hovers around 90 FPS (still shows CPU limited). Flying over buildings or any other assets will cause the microsutters. Frame time jumps between 11-22 ms in conjunction with the stutters. dcs.log dxdiag.txt

I guess a better question would be is ED even working on the GBU15/AGM130?

I will start out by saying I have been having a blast with the F-15E in its current state. However, I am really looking forward to some of the weapons and features that make the strike eagle great. Things like JDAMs, GBU-28, Link 16, GBU-15/AGM-130 and others. Information on the progress of these has been few and far between. Looking for any indication as to when we might see these. weeks/months/years? Seems like TFR is coming along nicely.

I am running into the same issue. DCS says I am CPU bound, but it is hardly being utilized according to HWM (16-25%). Also my GPU is usually around 65-70%. After tweaking some NCP settings I am able to get a stutter free mostly smooth solution at 45FPS motion reprojected (OPEN XR, Fixed Foveated Rendering), I just cant help but wonder if I am leaving performance on the table. Also my frame times are 20ms which is ridiculous.

The most frustrating aspect of the 54C right now is how easy it is to notch, not sure how realistic that is. Everything else seems pretty close. AI just can hit that perfect notch every time, and the missile just does a random pull up maneuver.

Not even close, use your TWR advantage, use a vertical flow, go uphill against fighters that cant, extend when you need to. You can load the G on and do a very tight turn, then extend and regain hundreds on knots in seconds. Not many fighters can do that. Not to say things like the mirage and hornet don't have their own strengths. Like I said, use your strengths and don't let the adversary use his. BFM isn't just lets rate at 9gs for 30 seconds around the circle. The f16 and f14 also have VERY different wings. I'm not getting into that here, however yes I fly against plenty of humans. Try it out yourself.

I think a lot of people compare our Viper to earlier models that weigh less. In addition people compare our Hornet with 404 EPE with the more common standard 404 found on most navy Hornets. They are different beasts. Our Viper can be dominant in BFM if flown correctly as an energy fighter instead of just trying to rate everything like GS against paddle pulling F18s and Mirages alike. Flight your fight for whatever aircraft you are flying, know your adversary and their strengths .

Hence the “?” The charts are clear, it doesn’t line up. Unless I am doing something wrong. Top speed run standard day zoomed up to 38k and stalled out at 2.0 . edit: completely clean I might add.

Maybe slightly better acceleration on the low end , but it is hardly a rocket ship. A clean F14 should be a rocket right up to 2.2 right ? Stagnates at 1.4 then slowly up to about 2 burning all my fuel.

You are forgetting about drag, even if the T/W was 1.1 at any altitude (it isnt) you would still need enough thrust to overcome airframe drag. So no matter what you will not accelerate at least above a certain altitude in any jet. Otherwise you would be a Falcon 9 Rocket!

A small texture like that would be extremely unlikely to cause any performance issues

The F16 has a really nice looking hud projector shows reflections and simply looks real . The F18s looks like a sticker was placed on it . Would it be possible to update this texture ? ps. Mach cone would also be really nice for the F18

As the title says, would be really cool to have this effect added .

32 GB is enough, never had issues. Also Vram usage changed nothing for me. went from 6 GB to maxed out and no difference in frames or smoothness. I have a very similar setup as OP. Consider Open XR

I think the real secret here is how the mirage 2000 is a miracle of aeronautics!

Yall catch a lot of flack (very passionate player base) so I figured I would share my mind. There is nothing like this game out there. The visuals with 2.8 are a decent improvement, the BFM AI is extremely fun... I know 2.8 hurt some performance (myself a VR player), but I do know that rewriting an engine is no joke. So keep it up, I get to spend countless hours getting smoked by my old man (former adversary pilot) and many other things. 20 years ago I could never imagined I would be strapping into a F18. Keep working the core of the game and the future will be bright! Keep the glass side up

I cant believe people are complaining about this, keep up the good work HB!

same here

Yeah I have moved on, just ordered all new Virpil kit. Can’t wait to actually get to fly my flight sim!
