    You didnt listen :angel:. I wrote before to you, if you guarantee (as only one) that the map works better than the others on low level and you have stable FPS at your home I can give you my 3090 and I'll take your 2080 LOL. What you wrote sounds totally incredible. Above you have exact arguments in the form of screenshots, timing and FPS. The settings do not matter completely because the comparison is to other maps with the same settings, so I don't know what it is for. If you want to show something, please take a screenshot, fire up fpsVR and test it. Give us both results on Ushuaia Heliport below 1000ft looking up close at the city (or better short movie with internal DCS FPS on). You also did not write on what goggles you fly and what precise resolution you have there. All my friends has the same problem, my friends on 2D screen has -50% fps in SA airports (land) compared to big airports from PG or Syria so sorry, I cant belive that "for me it works great" on urban areas here. It sounds unbelievable without any data for me. What you can see on this map the GPU is choking and clogging and uses near 19-20Gb of virtula memory (DCS feature 😄 so this is quite ok).

    If its so good, where do the next such topics come from (and every day there are such new posts from others, 2D users too)?

     

     

    Like I said, it works fine for me. I am not selling anything from my setup since it works 😉. I know people that have these issues as well and I have no idea what causes them and why I do not experience them.  I also do not have the time to grab test shots to post them for you. I am very busy. I am running on a Reverb G2. SteamVR is set to native resolution and in game PD is 1.0.

    I have a higher o/c than you do and I run into the exact same symptoms YoYo mention. You may indeed be lucky, but my system is seriously leaned out to max out performance just short of Process Lasso and really theres nothing else I CAN do to get better fps in SA. Quite literally nothing else; I use OpenOVR, shader mods, driver tweaks for nvidia, culled background programs that arent necessary and no aftermarket A/V software installed. Quite literally have to avoid half the map to get playable frames. The next thing I can do is add more memory and thats it.  The fact theres like 6-8 airports in the whole map makes it a little easier to avoid the map until a later date.

     

    Yeah, no clue man. As mentioned about, some of my buddies experience the same thing and it makes no sense to me. They have better systems than I do. I am not running any shader mods / vr mods. Everything is stock. I am afraid to change anything hardware wise on my system.

    Sorry but It cant be true or you do inaccurate tests (you wrote also that near all in settings you have on High level). It isnt possible to have stable FPS on urban area and near trees (larger forest). If you are in the cosmos, you can reach good FPS or when you are on empty places - here right but not on low, urban/airports level below 1000ft. Im on 3090, not on 2080 and see here an issue, like many in this topic. What I wrote before, if your GPU has stable 45 fps and you gaurantee this, sell me it, I'll pay the price of 3090. ☝️

    Few next topic about performance problem (and you havent it, really strange):

    (I see that on urban area some people in 2D have 25-30 FPS).

     

    Don't know what to tell you. I don't have these issues, it runs great. Maybe I am lucky and it's just my combo of hardware, who knows. I am very happy with my setup. I will say, prior to my CPU overclock, I was running into those issues. I OCed it and it all went away.

    Textures are all on high, water on high, heatblur off (looks like crap), traffic off, shadows low, in cockpit screen res. 512, msaa on 2x, ssaa off, clouds standard, trees and grass on max, preload max, chimney smoke off, anisotropic filtering 16x, terrain shadow default, raindrops on, rest is at default.

    Interesting.

    Where did you fly, and at what altitudes? Everything was working perfect for me until I descended below 1000 feet AGL.

    What in-game settings do you have? I have no issues playing other maps with heavy scripted missions (ie. Liberation), and I took off from the SA map without any scripts or other units. Just myself. So I suspect there may be a significant setting that impact the performance so heavily

    I have most settings on high (shadows included) with MSAA at 2x. I have good performance all over the map.

    Do You use any VR mod? What altitude? Where have you been? You are on GTX 1070 and its ok? WOW :smilewink:? Sell me your GPU pls!!!

    Tested Rio Gallegos , 300 ft, urban area, 10 minutes of circles, stutter like a hell.

    btw.

    In Syria urban areas (bigger and more detailed work better for me, no issue like here. Outside urban areas here its ok but it is also very empty, even no any bushes like on Syria map.

     

    No VR Mods, running a G2 with steamVR. Altitudes from the ground on up to 60,000ft (apache downlow, jets up high). Flying all over the map (including the populated areas). I'm on a 2080. Runs the same as Syria in the urban areas (45FPS) and better when I get away from them (west / northwest) 60+FPS.

    Just want to point out that the “pressing and holding the force trim release for 3 seconds” is only applicable if the SAS is “saturated”. Saturated means the SAS has run out of authority. It doesn’t enable anything. The key thing to understand is every time you interrupt the force trim, you’re commanding the SAS to recenter itself and give it back it’s “maximum authority”. Pressing and holding for three seconds does not enable (turn on) the system. Just gives it its full authority again.

     

    ah, that is what I was seeing then. SAS was re-centered. Thanks

    so you still don't understand. As long as you think there was relevance, you didn't get it. Please read Raptor9's post above. Or do as you said and move on.

    I know exactly how the Force trim works. Been flying it for a long time now and tested it thoroughly.

    You were wrong for telling the guy his question wasn't relevant. It was relevant. In the section of the video he is asking about, Wags is explaining how to use the force trim release bind to help  establish and hold the pedals to maintain the trim you want. He asked if it was a trim mode, it is not. This is a thread titled "Force Trim." Perfectly relevant question to ask...

    Anyway, apologies for the derail everyone.

    No you didn't think, you posted it publicly, probably to leave a stain on my credibility, which is sad. I didn't meant to hurt you or anybody.
    In the aviation world, it's good practice to suppress emotions like this and keep eyes open for ideas opposing your established mindset.

    There was no ill intent to stain any credibility. Simply pointing out that what was asked was completely relevant to this Force Trim thread. Clearly, this was a misunderstanding with the use of language.

    yeah. two topics in one sentence and now we have a problem. You have to disconnect Wags use of the FTR from the reason he intended to maintain a certain pedal attitude. He could've done it in any other moment, maybe while hovering or during a turn. This doesn't mean FTR is connected to these specific attitudes.

    read and understand what @Raptor9 explained here

    English is not my native language so I couldn't have explained it close that well he did.

     

    With any repetition of connecting Force trim to aerodynamic and/or nose-to-tail trim, you will promote further confusion. This thread is much too long already and we can't expect anybody to review all what was said and then differentiate between helpful and misleading.

     

    Ok, I think you are just misconstruing what I am saying, as well as what that person asked in their question, as you stated  English is not your native language.

    Anyway, moving on now.

    Just now, Rongor said:

    So how is it relevant to a force trim thread, besides the fact that Wags used force trim in a video in a moment he wanted to maintain aerodynamic trim?

    The guy asked what Wags was referring to in his video. Wags was explaining how to use the Force trim to hold the pedal position to keep the aircraft in nose to tail trim.

    This is highly individual. Don't see why you would trim for keeping  only minor adjustments. It's not like you want to take your feet off the pedals.

    Your whole argument is basically saying all steering adjustments have to do with the force trim release. Regarding your ED beta testers tag line, I find that highly problematic. Beginners will deem your comments more credible than others, so you create a lot of confusion by your words. I really hope you don't test helos.

    You should be trimming your aircraft out to reduce workload. Just a good practice to have. No where in the above did I say "all steering adjustments have to do with the force trim release," you are taking what I am saying way out of context and need to re-evaluate. 

    The guy asked "What is the nose to tail trim mode I see Wags mention in his landing video?" . I explained it wasn't a mode and that wags was explaining how to use the force trim to hold nose to tail or aerodynamic trim.

    You then told him his question wasn't relevant to this force trim thread, which is just plain inaccurate.
