Thanks for your tip. I'll definitely try that. By now i'm not interested on MP because i'm still learning to the A10 Avionics. Before i proceed could you suggest me how i can block DCS from updating my game?

I guess i'll just give up, sad but i don't want to invest money on a game with a poor engine. I read a lot about this game inside this forum and it is pretty obvious that this game has a very bad engine. It is pretty bugged in term of optimization and every patch is like a roulette, it might be better or worst. In my experience as programmer and gamer i saw engines in action much heavier with a clear better result. Unfortunately when the engine sucks upgrading a pc might really be unnecessary, specially if the generation gap between old and new setup is low. As i said i saw people investing a lot on a new pc to find out that an specific poorly optimized game runs better on the old setup than the new one. I'm opened to whatever upgrade that might help but must be something really effective. In this case i will just put apart this game and wait for a better engine or when the generation gap increase. Thanks all for the support.

Already done something like that, i was flying with 3 monitors (each 1920x1080) with a tanker in front of me, the fps was very stable and surely over 30. Since the beginning I forgot to tell that the drop is much bigger in cockpit view.

Thx. You have anticipated me by a few seconds. I was about to write that probably the problem is between low optimization and low CPU performance. I came up to this conclusion after testing single monitor with both low and high resolution. Obviously lower resolution gave me more fps but once above targets who are firing my fps drop almost about the same even though for a shorter time, it just result in a better perception because of the higher fps due to the low resolution. Surely a better gpu would provide a better fps but I would be hit by the same unacceptable drop. I forgot to add that there's no big difference between single or triple screen

Thanks man! This is a good news. I can wait for the new engine, let's just hope that it provides clearly a better performance.

The same for me and i really believe that the gap between the 7950 OC and the 7970 is not that big. So i just don't want to waste money on unnecessary hardware update to barely gain a couple of average frame. IMO the game is poorly optimized, so i really believe that a new 600 $ GPU would not be enough.

That's exactly what would do a common person (no offence). As a programmer who has a good background i know that it might not be enough. In fact i opened this thread not because i don't know how i can update my computer, but because a new CPU or a new GPU might not be enough due to not optimized software. From this thread i'm trying to find someone with an experience close to mine who did something that really improved the performance. I'm 30 years old and i saw ppl wasting money on new components to find out that the old setup gave more than the new one even with 2 years of GAP with a precise game. Unfortunately this happen often.

No! I'm using the thrustmaster warthog, trackir, saitek rudder pro and thrustmaster mfd

Thanks but no thanks. It is so unnatural, since i play with falcon 4 i need a view of 170 degree and it's so unnatural to move that much with a single monitor.

Yesterday before your post i tried to play the first A10C campaign mission in single monitor 1920x1080 without trackir and initially in the runway the frame was slight better, but once i was between steerpoint 3 and 4 the frame dropped a lot until become unplayable.

Guys i'm writing to you because i tried everything to improve performance but the gain was too little. I saw many threads about and tried a lot of solutions but still small gain. My biggest issue was about huge fps drop, i'd to be clear and explain that i only flew training and first 30 nm of the first campaign (i couldn't stand that massive frame drop). My specs is i5 2500k 8gb ram 7950 3gb 7500 rpm hd tiple screen (each 1920x1080) trackir asus p8p67 m pro 650 W By now i'm taking in consideration some hardware tweaks. Obviously i'm not planning to do a complete revolution but rather an update but it must be something that really gives more stability. From what i read with DCS A10C and others games (rfactor 2, iracing, falcon bms 4.32), nvidia seem to provide less fps drop specially about rfactor 2. I was considering another 7950 for a crossfire but this ATI series seem to be too unstable, although they are doing whatever they can to restore stability. So i was a bit worried about spend a lot of money on another 7950 for almost none improvements. In case some of you suggest to switch from ATI to nvidia, is it simple to switch from eyefinity to the nvidia surround?
