Same thing happening to me and another user.... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=176707

Any suggestions? In my case, as I said...AV should not be the issue..how to check to see if the application is already running?

Have the same issue with F-5..I have tried several times..it installed on Open beta 1.5.5 but when I updated my stable version to 1.5.5 I did not get the offer to install the F-5. I tried repair, no success, tried uninstalling the beta and stable and downloaded and installed the latest stable version...no success. I didnt change nothing in my win defender options or firewall settings..I had exclusions for DCS turned on from the first day. I did a check before upgrading to the latest 1.5.5 version to make sure the exclusions were present and they were..and generally during DCS installs I always turn off firewall and antivirus..sooo..something is not quite right

Ahhhhh...the Sim skunk works Starfighter...sadly never made it to DCS-shame. Well at least I enjoyed it in FSX

No one else having this issue??

Stress anyone?

No matter what option I choose for the terrain shadows (off, flat, default) the shadows are always present. Tested without any mods.

Now, the strange thing is if I select the Terrain shadows off option, the shadows are still present when using Starways mod EDIT: OK...now things get even stranger...disabled all mods, ran a repair, tried to switch between the 3 terrain shadow options on vanilla installation and no change...the shadows are always present..guess a reinstall then

OK, found the culprit...its Mustangs no tree shadows mod...I tried without using this and all terrain mods work as they should. Too bad it aint compatible anymore since I would really like to retain shadows of objects and tree clusters and loose the shadows in forests..now I only have the option to turn terrain shadows off completely because when flat is activated I get stutters above forests..I hope Mustang can do something about it and update the files

I suspect it has to do something with the new options...now you can have terrain shadows in 3 choices..off, default, flat...I think all the terrain mods have to be updated

There seems to be a problem with forests since the latest Open beta 1.5.5 update..namely..there aren't any. Seems like all the areas where the forests should be are empty. Here are a few screens to show the problem..nothing to do with preload radius, trees visibility or visibility distance. This is the area around senaki where there should be a forest

Yeah, would be nice to know..specially concerning the degraded performance

Using the default Finnish air force skin by Leatherneck simulations as a base I made some period-accurate corrections like the roundels, ejection seat warning labels, black and yellow hazard pattern on the gun guards and camouflaged external fuel tanks. The credit for the original livery goes to Leatherneck simulations. The file is uploaded in the "User files" section and awaiting approval. Cheers!

Absolutely loving this mod! Great mod!

It is happening :))

Yep, also enjoying the fishbed without any significant problems...I opened the thread about fps issues but that got sorted out (the problem was on my end)..

Well...good news (at least for me)....I reinstalled bios drivers and that same day win10 had an update (few days back) and my fps went back to normal :) The MiG-21 is silky smooth once again!

My experience from yesterday in the MiG-21...off! Helped imensly with fps and stutters. And don't know why but setting terrain flat shadows to off improves fps then on

I don't know..I mean the Fishbed is my favorite AC and the sole reason why I got DCS and all the equipment and it really makes me worried seeing such degradement in performance with each update. Right now as it is (besides the newest CTD bug) it is unflyable for me. It all began with DCS 1.5.4.55952.150 Update 4 till now and I don't know anymore is the problem on my end, Leathernecks end or Eagle dynamics end. All my drivers are up to date, I tried repairing, reinstalling DCS, deleting options.lua several times and it just wont work like it used to..never changed my setup options in DCS and even when I selected all low setting with vanilla DCS without mods the only module that has this fps drop is the MiG. I understand it is a complex module with 8K textures inside and out....but it just worked buttery smooth prior to the mentioned update. I really hope those are just signs that the current Caucasus map is slowly getting obsolete for the current game engine updates and that with the 2.5 update there wont be such problems anymore. What are your thoughts, how many of you get the same issue?

Also experiencing low FPS and stutters with the MiG module only since last few updates...

The update affects external cockpit mods (for example no texture on tyres) because some files were changed and new ones added. These files are located in the MiG-21Bis_Base.zip so you just need to add new files from the update and all works again :)
