Does it works on "secured" server ?

Isn't it a Mirage 2000D or N on the picture ? Well, I would be nice if we had this screen function too !

Playing sneaky in the mountains, like the Mig-21, is the way to go if you are not flying with other planes, and fighting against F-15/Su-27/F-16 blk.52 In the mountain the Mirage is deadly, but in 1 vs 1 BVR, it's close to be impossible to win. I made a video few months ago, against a F-16 blk.52, it was hard but I find a way to defeat it with a "snake" approach. (It's in french but well...not that hard to understand what is happening) More recently, I made an editing showing how good could be the Mirage if you know how to use it. But, well, in general don't try BVR combat against a FC3 plane.

Thanks dude, your videos are very good, among the best on DCS, even the 5 years old one still better than mine :book: Well, you aren't the Official ED Movie Producer for nothing ! But yeah, days are way to quick :P

Thanks guys ! Well, it's a lot of work, as a studend I don't have much time to make this type of videos, so I can't really make new one every months :p

Hello ! I did a lot of little "movie" on FSX, years ago, then switched to DCS but never had the time to make a proper editing ! So, I finally decided to make one, it took me 3 days of work, I'm proud of it even if I'm not totally a big fan of the second part, I have to find other ways to make fight very intensive. Hope you like it :smilewink: [ame] [/ame] PS : Yeah there is a fault, in the title at the beginning of the video, my bad it was late I had to finished the editing and...made a common mistake of a French trying to speak english :doh:

I'm using my keyboard which as jack for my headset ! I will update my audio drivers, and I will update my 970 driver. I have put DCS on my SSD (32Go, ouch) and it's way better

Here they are, dcs.txt, debrief.txt... and the DxDiag file. DCS Stutter_TheSkyline35 (logs+DxDiag).rar

I have exactly the same issue, DCS 1.5.3.x is unplayable for me, stutter fest, everytime I spawn a plane it took me around 2min to look around me, freeze after freeze, to finally be able to see around without too much stutters. If I zoom : Freeze if I look to an other plane : Freeze It's just terrible guys.... I don't know what to do anymore, even with my new GTX970 :/

Just uping the post to tell that recent update didn't changed anything about this issue. And I upgraded to a GTX 970 4Go and still have the same problem.

Yep Shadows have to be set flat only...

For sure there is an issue with shadows, going from flat only to low was a terribly bad idea, the game stutters non-stop... and somewhat this is linked with the RAM, weird Are devs working on a fix ? We are in this situation for many of us for months...

16Go solve an issue caused by 1.5.3 but 8Go of ram or not, it's a fact, 1.5.3 is terrible for many of us, I stopped flying on DCS for that reason, it's just unplayable, I don't want to add 8Go of ram, they are useless for what I'm doing... I REALLY hope they will come with a real fix in few weeks, at least giving us explenations.

Some of 2.0 things came on 1.5.3, and definitly had a huge impact. The major question is : Is it fixable ? Maybe upgrading hardware help, it's obvious, but does developers could improve DCS 1.5 ? I'm not sure, but I have the feeling that shadows now have a big impact on framerate, jumping between flat only to low is terrible. I can't even play DCS in multiplayer for now...

We have this problem for more than a month as you can see with other topics related. And I 100% agree with you about RAM, however just do a tour of other topics, you will see that a lot of ED Tester keep saying "add more ram" whereas, clearly, they changed something in DCS 1.5.3 that destroyed our framerate for many of us.

"add more ram" shoudn't be a way to fix that, I mean, it's the fault of ED, not our PC, it should work without stutters everywhere with 8Go of RAM ! With the last batman on PC, which was extremely badly optimised, did we said to people complaining about framerate and stutter, even with good PC "Add more ram, and change your GPU, and..." ? No, because it was the fault of the game. And here we are in the exact same situation, we can upgrade our PC it will help, but it will not solve the problem, everybody trying to play DCS will complain about this issue until they add 16Go of ram and a SSD only for DCS ?! DCS doesn't even use all my RAM...I still at 75% of usage

And in few hours some people will come and tell you "Add MOOORE RAM", "You need 16Go of RAM", "Put DCS on SSD !" or even better in your case "It's caused by your AMD CPU" It's a know issue that a lot of people are complaining about since 1.5.3 but for the moment developers didn't react, for me it's just killing the game, stutter simulator 2016, whereas everything was running smoothly under 1.5.2 For now the only way to reduce stutters was to reduce visiliy to low, reduce rendering distance and use "flat only" shadow, the game still running as edited (it feels laggy) but it's better.

Me too, stutter simulator 2016, sometimes I get freeze for 10 secondes, and everytime I spawn a plane, OMG, looking around take ages, everything lag as hell :joystick:

But this is the "easy" fix for this issue : upgrading our PC, the reality is that DCS is badly optimized, we had a big step between 1.2 and 1.5 but problems are back.

There is a lot of people with the same issue, you just have to look at all other topics in this "Game Performance" aera, since the 1.5.3, many of us have a lots of problems with that.

Does it work for AMD User ?

Ohh don't panic man, they will just tell you to add 8Go of ram and that your 980ti can't handle DCS... No joke, many people are experiencing this issue and all comes from the 1.5.3

MMh yeah 16Go of ram and a GPU that cost more than 300€, that's standard. The fact is that the game ran VERY GOOD until 1.5.3, our PC aren't the problem, it's this update that ****ed up everything. All people complaining about that understand the clearly, it's the fault of DCS, but in the other hand, ED Tester keep saying that the issue is caused by our PC, and it's 99% false (1% is the DOF effect :p ). I'm bored to have to fight issues against issues, to have to fix a sim that is suppose to have reach a stable version ! In fact even the first release of 1.5 was a lot better for my framerate...

Yes the author is like MANY other people here, since 1.5.3, it's terrible how laggy is DCS, and stop saying that our systems are the issue, clearly it's the update because everything was perfect before that and in my case all my other sim/games work perfect. I hope dev are hearing our isssues, the "Game performance" section of the forum is full of this particular problem since 1.5.3

I finally tried, it's a lot better however it still sutturing land when looking at planes/cities, framerate drop hard from 75fps to things like 45fps
