Really good information. Thanks!

I just had to post this here. Found my dog's Halloween costume lol

Yes, this is what I was referring to. To me, the Spit seems to literally jump upwards after the flaps are RAISED. I was asking if this is normal/accurate for this plane. I am not sure why it would be.

I agree wholeheartedly with the OP. Currently, this sim IS quite inedible.

I apologize if it has been mentioned already, but under cursory examination, I have not seen it. I seem to notice a pronounced ballooning effect immediately upon RAISING flaps. This seems counter to what I would typically expect. I get it under control fast with a crazy amount of trimming, but it's so noticeable, that I would also expect it to be immediately commented upon if it were out of the ordinary. Is this simply how the plane is designed to perform? Thanks.

Okay. I will try that. I noticed some better performance taking water to med (I thought it was, but it was on high). It's still pretty bad though...especially when getting close to other planes. I will post my settings and detailed specs this weekend.

Thanks. I will get one today and try that. Been thinking about it for a while. Sadly, my CPU cannot be overclocked, at least not in a way I am comfortable trying, which is a shame, because it seems (other than the hard drives) that it is the only part of my system really showing its age.

I will do so when I get home. I am not using an SSD. Thanks.

Sorry to derail, but what happens if you mix ram? ...asking for a friend. :smilewink:

So, I'm pretty new here, and I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed ad naseum already. I searched but found nothing specific to my issue (as far as I know). I am trying to figure out why it is I seem to have such horrific performance issues...specifically on the Normandy Map, but also occasionally on Nevada too. I am pretty much a tech noob, but though my system is older, I believe it should still have fairly good performance. I am running an Intel i7 960 3.2 mhz with h110i corsair cooler, gtx 1080 and 18 gb ram and have placed most of the settings on medium and reduced the visibility range, and I am getting about 30 fps on the ground and occasionally higher in the air but as soon as I close to gun range on another plane...slide show. I am at like 5 fps. What could be causing that sudden drop and what could be causing the general lack of performance I am seeing others with similar rigs consistently getting? Sorry for my general noobiness.
