Thanks! I cant believe how beautiful this game is in 4k.

Problem solved! Thanks!! I would never have thought of this, I was playing around with visible range, trees etc for ages to no effect but turning off Depth of Field solved it instantly, getting around 50fps in external view and cockpit now. Thanks again!

Hey everyone Ive just upgraded to a new system with the following specs: AMD Ryzen 2700x 16GB RAM DDR4 @3000mhz Asus ROG STRIX 1080ti 11GB Acer Predator 4K Monitor Samsung Pro 970 MSSD Windows 10 Home x64 With all settings on Max i get around 50fps in the cockpit, however when in the external view the frames drop to around 15-20. It seems changing the settings makes no difference to the frames in the external view. Is this normal for DCS World? Is there any tips on improving performance in this game? I should mention when in the cockpit even looking out the window i get a nice 50fps, only when i change to external does the frames drop significantly, even if i zoom in on the plane so there is no landscape in the screen it makes no difference. Thanks for any help

When i first updated to 2.5 there was the typical GAU8 impact noise (we all know the noise i mean:D) but recently its stopped playing and only plays the generic bullet impact sound. I had this problem in 1.5 also. I have checked the file system and the only GAU8 Impact sound file is nothing like when it was first updated. Since discovering the problem i have reinstalled on another SSD (not enough space) however this did not fix the issue so i dont think it is a corruption problem. I want that lovely sound of devastation back :(:D:D Any suggestions?

Yes i assumed this, it would appear the game is playing the wrong sound file(s), is there a way to correct this? I find it odd that the ImpactGau file is still in the sound folder but the game does not seem to use it.

Any suggestions?

For some reason DCS does not seem to play the GAU impact sound. When i view a target ive fired at it only seems to play the generic bullet impact/explosion sound instead, which sounds completely different to the GAUImpact sound file located in the game folder. Ive tried it with the standard DCS sound and also with the DCS Sound Mod (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/836308/) However switching between the 2 makes no difference and it only plays the generic impacts as you would expect to hear from the KA-50 Cannon, F15 etc and not the actual file within the folder. I have just reformatted my PC with a clean install of Windows and DCS (Steam Version) however the problem existed before this so i doubt its a issue to do with that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also it plays the GAU-8 firing sounds just fine as you would expect, this issue only affects the actual impact sound.

Was just wondering if this issue seems to have been fixed for anyone after the previous update (1.5.3 i think?) Ive tried a clean install after the last update but the issue persists still.:(

I see, it also does it if i choose instant action, or even if a create a mission through the editor. Hopefully it is fixed soon as it is quite frustrating:music_whistling:

Has there been a fix for this problem? I currently have the same issue ever since updating to 1.5.2 The first time i play i hear explosions, however the next mission i load (or view track of first mission) there is none, also even on the first mission i load there is still no sounds for the impact of rounds from the A-10 gatling gun. I have tried reinstalling which didnt fix it, also the problem affects the standard DCS sounds aswell as all sound mods that i have tried. Thanks for any help in advance :)
