Raven (Elysian Angel)

In my pocket, obviously!

I'd be seriously concerned if it wasn't, since it's ED's first one based on 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry, and it's the most recent module.

Apparently reading is hard:

In an appropriate setting (aka with the Hornet limited to AIM-9L/M and AIM-7F/M), yes actually

Those were actually very few aircraft: the ones in the most "elite" squadrons were rushed to get to upgrades, while the others - such as the USAFE birds deployed at Soesterberg were all pre-MSIP.

Obviously this was an instant purchase! Onwards and upwards towards more FF RedFor modules!

Presuming you mean 13GB since 13Gb is ridiculous, you're lucky then: as I'm sure you're aware the Chinook subforum is filled with angry people asking/demanding ED to optimise the Chinook's textures because it exceeds their available buffer size. But there are several factors determining the VRAM demand, not just the module itself: headset resolution, anti-aliasing, ...

Reported as 'in use': when the limit gets exceeded all the usual stutters happen. Older modules obviously use far less: 10-11GB and FC3 only around 8.

I usually sit between 14-15GB of VRAM in use, and with the Chinook that jumps to 18GB.

When I'm riding my motorbike in the rain, wind blows water drops off my helmet visor as well, so the speed at which that happens certainly isn't that high - particularly when you're talking about aviation speeds...

Yes it is: to look at it i have to roll up my irises so much my eyes hurt. I fail to see why it’s so hard to make a Special Option that allows users to adjust the default position. If Heatblur can do it, so can ED…

Famous last words!

I took out an Apache again over Port Stanley, and I couldn't reproduce it either. Since I experienced it last time, there have been new releases of graphics drivers, chipset drivers AND a new BIOS so perhaps that either fixed it or somehow a BIOS option got changed so the issue no longer gets triggered I don't know... I'll keep an eye on it.

I'm going to stick with 576.28 for now. That one works perfectly well and I see no reason to update to 576.40

That’s pretty much impossible given the different hardware people have… ED already has such an algorithm to set cockpit lighting and MFD brightness depending on the time of day your aircraft spawns at. Have you ever known that to be even remotely accurate? At the industry standard gamma 2.2 deserts are already far too bright for me, and the colours washed out. A visor fixes that. I see in your signature that you’re using a Reverb G2, and I know from experience there’s a massive difference between a G2 and what I use (Aero Varjo) in terms of brightness and colours. Remember that gamma doesn’t just affect brightness: it shifts the entire colour spectrum.

Based on my understanding, games in general and flight simulators specifically have a lot of tiny data packages being sent back and forth between the CPU and the memory, very repetitively. Thanks to the V-cache of X3D CPUs, those data packages can stay in the cache of the CPU itself instead of being sent in and out all the time. This causes a massive reduction in latency, so even in scenarios where the average frame rates are not that different compared to other CPUs, the 1% lows will see a huge improvement with X3D.

Yes, the most comprehensive and detailed list is probably on the RAZBAM Discord. Notso keeps the list up-to-date and even lists work-arounds where applicable. Look for the channel called #strike-eagle-known-bugs *edit* This is the invite link in case you're not in there yet: https://discord.gg/gCJBbNmkKF

Quite the opposite: CPU benchmarks are done in 1080p for very good reasons.

Some incredible people in this thread: creating liveries for a module that didn’t even start development yet

Reducing pre-load radius to 10km (plenty for helicopter operations) has helped me with excessive memory usage.

I don’t know what everyone is using, but I’m using none. And you’re right, they’re not very well suited for helicopters… Removing the springs helps, though.
