Hi, Could someone from VKB maybe give me an answer to this question... Will there be a Gunfighter Mk III base upgrade to the Mk IV base spec as there was for the Mk II to Mk III base? (I do realise that there is a grip upgrade already available to use the Mk III grip with the Mk IV base, but I'm asking about the base specifically) I've heard conflicting advice on this. Thankyou, pngflyer

Thanks cfrag. Appreciate what you've done here. Donwnloading now...

Wow! That looks amazing cfrag. Thanks for doing that! Looking forward to trying it out. I am loving the Sinai map, especially the performance.

Thanks for the reply Cfrag, Love your idea of smoke or flares which you can call up. Looking forward to that if you get the time. Thanks for the explanation about the missing POI's too.

Hi, I may have missed something, but are there supposed to be any markers which are visible in cockpit for these points of interest? I keep switching between cockpit and F10 to get to the general area, but for the smaller POI's (eg Temple Mount) I have lots of trouble finding them... Thanks

+1 Especially appreciate the decent performance. In fact, this is the main reason I bought Sinai and haven't bought others. A map which looks amazing but doesn't have decent frames is a deal breaker for me. Thanks OnReTech!

Great vid showing off the capabilities of the Chinook... Mind you, she barely broke a sweat with that load! Checkout his Blackhawk vid too...

Would be great if Wags could comment on performance seeing as he's flying it at the moment... I too am wanting to purchase but worried my pc won't be able to run it.

Marianas was already unplayable for me in VR with very modest settings. Nausea inducing as per pixie's post above. 2.7.8 has since smashed my performance even further. Marianas isn't even a prospect for me... I really am grateful for the free map, I just can't use it. Glad some of you guys can though.

@Boosterdog Thankyou.

@Boosterdog I understand the GPU driver wipe and reinstall, but what are you suggesting to try for the saved games folder? Did this help you at all? My fps are still shot, and even removing msaa does absolutely nothing... I'm open to trying (nearly) anything to get back to pre 2.7.7 smoothness... cheers

Me too... I've been watching this particular topic, hoping that I wouldn't be one of the affected ones as I've never had problems with updates before... Against my better judgement I updated to 2.7.7... and took an obvious, large hit in performance. Turned what was a silky smooth Rift S experience to a juddering, unplayable mess. I then updated from 2.7.7 to 2.7.8 hoping for some improvement but saw so perceptible change - still a juddering, unplayable mess. Obvious stutters just panning around the cockpit in the Hornet which I've never experienced before. I was already on lowish settings (as befitting my lowish spec machine ) and it was perfectly playable for me, but now DCS is unplayable for me in VR (I'm not using hyperbole). Nothing else has changed. I run no mods, PD of 1 and no ss. It is the update. No question about it. This update has smashed performance! Really hoping something can be done about it... EDIT: Just tried removing MSAA, no change in the stutters at all...

Gotta add my voice to this topic too... I've long had to play DCS on laptops. I've always been able to do that by reducing settings to get smooth frame rates and I just accept the lesser picture as the cost. My problem is that with recent updates I'm running out of settings to reduce and I'm about out of 'wiggle room'. While I greatly appreciate Marianas and the incredible work which has gone into it, it really is unflyable for me. But performance is decreasing across all of the maps for me! If performance continues to degrade I simply won't be able to play. I'd be really disappointed about that because DCS is incredible! DCS's strength is that it's a combat simulation. When I use it as intended I don't have much time to spend admiring the scenery, and besides there are other sims for that. Please ED, prioritise the combat simulation and the framerates to enjoy that, even at the expense of the scenery outside the cockpit. Thanks for the awesome simulation (and for hearing me out). There really is nothing like it!

Disabling force feedback (as mentioned above) fixed this problem for me. I am using a force feedback joystick so I don't know if this fix will address the issue on a non-ffb stick... pngflyer
