I lowered the ground terrain setting, lowered MSAA and Shadow, aswell as putting the LODs to the minimums and putting preload radius at 55k, and clean fxo and metashaders2 when I update the game and when I update my drivers, force ReBAR and lowered anisotropic filtering, everything that used memory got lowered and now the game doesn't exceed my VRAM, giving me a very stable game, I still have stutters but they are very short and doesn't happen often, I also disabled SSAO, SSLR that give me unstable frames too, I'm now VRAM limited running at 180fps, I can't really increase the quality anymore, the freeze was mainly from my instable RAM settings I also don't use fTPM and so Core Isolation is disabled since it scans RAM in real time and would destroy performance in DCS

You can lower the brighter of each part of the Sight (not a HUD) under it there is 4 knobs, aswell as below the Radar on EE there is knobs to change brightness of some part of it

On every Mirage F1 it's the same computer who handle that on the documents I have it's the exact same limitations, I have just more info on how it works

Oh okay, I was looking forward for a good french livery :c Still looks great work tho Also the livery you are making is a Mirage F1CT, CR uses an another type of under nose pod and can't use S530F

I saw after I wrote about MARTEL and ARMAT that the Iraqi might have used them, but in French planes never flew since France stopped believing in SEAD missions after the Mirage III and Jaguar? The C variants are mostly first version but pretty basic stuff on it, I can't about A I don't know much about those variants, I checked and yes you are right other variants got Doppler antenna from the source I have is : AZ, AD, ED, CH, JA, EQ-2 and EQ-4. And mostly C variants that came out of Dassault Factory only got no INS and no HUD, but later upgraded, E were by default with HUD and PCAM with INS (Or Doppler) except the EE AFAIK

Hey are you still planning to release this version of your skin ? Still looking forward to try it out !

Look at your VRAM usage, you might be using more than 10GB and so giving you a bottleneck

Finally found a fix, reduce the VRAM usage of DCS and putting more stable RAM settings

Please test with Multithreading, you are on single threaded witch is not best for FPS

Got a new GPU (4070 Ti) and did 2 flights and saw no issues on cloud shadows so far ! Looks way better than before !

Hey you have searched a lot indeed, but be aware that in terms of weapons, the F1 is very limited and btw the "French" F1 you see with the AS-30L is a F1EQ-4/5 it has the doppler antenna below the nose, only the Iraqi got them because of the ban of the INS from US to Iran. Secondly, CCIP bombing is tied to the new PCAM (Poste de Commande Armements et Modes), who is also tied to the HUD, since M is a completly different story because it has brand new stuff that doesn't support legacy weapons like the AS-30L (Who only EQ got capabilities). As far I can see in the docs I have, there is reference of CCRP bombing, the HUD is pretty much a Mirage 2000 one but more barebone and older obviously and some symbology changes also. For the Exocet I have no informations on the documentations that I have, and all we know is that the radar need search mode, a pylon that support communication between the radar and the missile, and then a link to the radar (I'm not sure about that). Martel and ARMAT never flew on ANY Mirage F1, tho the Martel can be used like the MiG-29 uses the HARM, but such informations are not available since this is a very old missile and was not much used AFAIK. Don't mind asking me questions if you didn't understand some stuff, I can be hard to understand (I'm writing this late at night also).

There is nothing wrong with the EE in DCS, it's just a C with an INS, nothing more, all other E variant got HUD, CCIP, and Modern Weapon support up to TGP and Exocet and AS-30L, I just don't like the naming of the EE since it's the only one to be so barebone, sorry if that sounded weird or mad at Aerges or anything. Also the cockpit we have is not the native cockpit, it look a lot different on the variant that Spain got and didn't upgraded with the better RWR (in the 90s, the EE was received back in the 80s).

EQ-6 is gonna be hard tho, no info on the RWR and such, also, metric cockpit be aware

That would awesome if they could do a proper E variant or a CT, to have 80s variant with HUD and proper ins and not the fake EE we have

Still had the issue on the previous OB, my PC is dead so I can't test the lastest OB that came out on Monday.

In the manuals I have touchdown is at 136Knots for 8700Kg and 157 for 11000Kg. I'm just giving informations btw, not saying that anyone is wrong, I just wanted to share, I'm sorry if it was the wrong time/place to do it.

My bad then, didn't know that, thanks for correcting me

AFAIK there is no true heading on the F1EE since the HSI only works with gyro

With the current radar I can see targets up to 40nm and lock at about 20nm ^^' I'm sorry but sounds like a Skill issue to me That's great to hear ! I'm waiting a bit to see more love on the radar and waiting maybe the BE to get back on it, didn't tried out the FM since 2 months so I can't talk about those and if pilots says it's closer to the real thing then all good, it improved since release and I know it will keep this pace on good updates, the only real issue is the space between updates because how ED handles their stuff and it's not Aerges fault there, hope the best for the team, looking forward of all those updates I can't wait !

We all want man, but everyone want F-16C Block 72+ with every experimental weapon out there with 64 AIM-120s

There is visual differences but they are only cosmetics they do not change anything

I have the same issue, but on my side the VRAM usage increased when DCS 2.8 came out almost a year ago now, and VRAM is completly crazy, to be able to run with textures on High I put AF at x8 and MSAA 2x, running the game above 120fps, but I'm at the limit of my VRAM, and sometimes the game will be in a state of Freeze every 5-10sec and nothingfix it

Yeah that makes me sad because the F1 is a really good plane and looks magnificent in real life and how the 3D model is from Aerges is not the best, so I did a massive bug report to tell them all the issues I spotted, I didn't included everything, for me redoing the whole 3D model would be best with proper 3D scan (they said it's 3D scanned but there is way too much issues in the model to be 3D scanned)

Check this, also check the sources I put at the end of the bug report, those is the main issues with the default skin, the sources I put have very nice walkaround to see how are the panels, I can link French F1s walkaround

Btw if you need reference pictures I can get some for you, aswell the default livery is not accurate at all, you can check I did a massive bug report with all the issues in the external model and textures
