good evening,
First i would like to say that i love the f14, the job that has been done is incredible and you dont cease to amaze us heatblur.
Still, as the f-14 is clearly an exceptional module, it comes with some drawbacks one of which is performance. (besides loosing your social life)
I recently upgraded my computer for a decent configuration:
i5 9400f,
gtx 1660ti,
16Gb ddr4 2600Mhz,
SSD Nvme (dcs is installed in the ssd)
I encounter whatsoever no performance issue when playing on my screen.
However, i also bought an oculus rift S along with my computer and that's where things start to get a bit messy.
Most of the time it is fine, i get good framerates (even in heavy missions) and i just enjoy flying the plane.
But sometimes, the image starts to stutter A LOT. And when it starts, it does not stop for a few minutes, even if i pause the game and take a break, when i come back, the image is still stuttering.
Strange fact: when the image is stuttering, i just have to get in external view and everything comes back to normal (and obviously if i jump back in the cockpit, it stars again)
When this happenend to me i was making the plane suffer (flat spin, high g turns, high AoA, etc...)
I also dont force ultra high quality (high textures, high water, low shadows, 50% visibility for trees, no terrain shadows, high visibility and 1.0 pixel density)
If anyone knows why i am getting such sudden drops in framerate where at the last second, the game was running fine, i would listen to them with a lot of interest :)
Good night
