Thanks! much better but without loosing too much quality.

I've attached the current setup I'm running. Getting about 35 FPS at present but that's before i get up and start flying around and putting load on it.

By Camera I assume you mean the "1 screen" option in settings rather than "3 screens" ? This certainly lost alot of graphic quality :(

The 3 screen setting.

Yeah I've just moved from one monitor to three, and trying to work out what settings I should be using... So DOF to Simple? or OFF? I don't know what it should be at. What would you suggest?

Hi all I'm trying to get the triple monitor setup to a point where it doesn't drop in FPS too low. I'm getting it dropping to single digits when doing hard turns, and around 30-40 normally. What resolution/settings should I be having, or do you have, that keeps FPS up ok? I'm running: - GTX980 - Intel i5-4690 CPU @3.5GHz - 16GB ram - 250GB SSD - main monitor is a Dell P2414H (connected via Display Port) - side monitors are Dell P2214H (connected via Display Port) PC settings: I'm running NVIDIA surround off, all 3 monitors set to 1920 x 1080. DCS ingame specs: - 5760 * 1080 - all textures, water, etc to max settings - cockpit resolution 1024 every frame - MSAA to 165x - Depth of field to Bokeh - HDR on - Clutter/Grass to max 1500 - Tress to just under mid at 9000 - preload radius to under mid at 60000 - vsync on, full screen on So I'm curious to see what I can change to keep FPS up and not reduce the graphics where it counts.

nice setup! what card are you running? I've got 3 monitors with a GTX970 and get unplayablly low framerates when all settings are put to the max. what Card do you have and what ingame quality settings are you running?

oh thanks! That will come in handy :) Just started mapping things to the Hotas now and working out what i'll be using

hey there, I am relatively new to DCS, only about 50 hours or so, and I love the P51 so I bought the high stakes campaign and whilst I know how to get the plane up and fly around I can't work out how to use navigation on this plane. On the first mission i had to switch between F10 for map and F1 way too often, and the kneeboard map doesn't give me enough detail for me to work out where i am and if I'm on the right heading (as it's only a map and lacks your current location to help). F10 shows you your current location without the way points other than trying to look at visual points and suss it out myself. Are there any hints to make following way points easier? Does the P51 give your directional way points to follow? Jeff

Great thank you Tried to post from the phone then got an error about needing to upgrade tapatalk before i can share a photo so had to do it in 2 parts... yes you're right a screen shot would be easier :)

here is the pic

I'm hosting an online map and all is working well except for this red circle/radar up the top right.... And also the f15c lrs radar mode won't lock up enemies meaning I have to use sidewinders. Any ideas why? Note: the su27 radar lock mode works fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My issue ending up being the port wasn't open - so now this is fixed mine is working again Yours sounded like a different issue but good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all So I've spent alot of hours learning the F15c, and whilst I am in no way a master I think im ok. I understand the radar system and how to fight air to air... but I get smashed by SU27's ... Whilst practice will improve my overall ability to dogfight, IO am keen to learn the SU27. What have I noticed so far? I put it down to the below: - Firstly, It's harder not having the dashboard in english! Taking me a while to learn what's what at a much slower rate. - Secondly, compared to flying the F15c with 3 fuel tanks I notice the huge difference in fuel supply - The radar system at BVR seems better? But comparing what i'm used to in measurements in the F15c I can't quite understand the ratios in the SU27. Such as the 160nm BVR in the F15c.. is that the same as the 200 or 500 in SU27? and so on Early days still but a fun plane. After your experiences, thoughts, etc

Anyone solve the issue? I have the same issue. Used to join a map my brother hosted and it worked fine... a few maps later and we can't join anything we setup, even the old maps we used to use no longer work. But we can still join the 104th and other multiplayer maps fine... here is an example of a map... su27 NEW Multiplayer fun map.miz

very nice setup! When you run a second monitor can you get it to run map/etc only? what happens with the f15c?

Would love to help, but not sure what's happening. can you post a real short video?

hi do the skin (paint) upgrades or cockpit upgrades (hd images) impact gameplay or multiplayer games etc ? There are a few i want to suss out but not if it stops me from playing online or severely impacting game play ones like this: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1586620/

Thank you, got my AWACS now... Have a look at this. options for multiplayer or missions/coop. Updated Multiplayer fun map.miz

Mission Editor map help Oh that's awesome you got it to work, can you post your mission file up so I can check how yours is setup Once I get it working my goal would be to have it working based on a trigger zone only - eg battle over the mountains, that way if I battle over the sea it's a different experience without the awacs :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Rich, Pretty much what I setup also. Except i found you don't need a separate trigger for flag on to be 1, you can set this up in the same continuous trigger as the Group AI on. You ever got an AWACS working with FC3?

So in DCS, assuming all things are equal, which plane would win more often? F-15c, SU-27 or Mig-29? I'm talking two planes that are heading towards each other. When I play online I tend to get smashed by...most people really....but more so by the Su-27 who seem to do a better job staying off my radar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep thought I had uploaded the file, but it didn't :) have tried it again. I tried the AWACS without any luck - couldn't work out how to get it to be called or give updates. Updated Multiplayer fun map.miz

If you have a minute can you look at these SAM and trigger setups and give me some feedback?

yeah bummer about the awacs as I'm trying to set this up for the FC3. Surely there has to be a way given it is setup in all of these multiplayer servers, Have you even tried some type of fixed radar that can just given constant updates? Maybe if something like that was there and I could have it turn on via a trigger point when you enter a hot zone or something. Thanks for the tip about the manpads. They solved the issue although their range is extremely low Man those things come at you fast and you don't even get a missile lock/fired warning
