Hello everyone. First of all I will be thankful if some one kindly tells me the difference between MIG 29 A, G and S. Secondly, In MIG29S version, I cannot lock the target even at closest ranges. In SCAN or BVR mode, the radar only picks up the target when its very close to you. Even then it does not lock the target. The A and G version do lock the target but once the opponent is very close. It does not have BVR range. Am I the only one facing this ???

I dont think its a bug. Factors contributing towards fps drop. 1 - The smoke of vickher missile. smoke eats up fps. 2 - The TV inside the cockpit eats up the fps bcoz its sort of another simulation inside a simulation. 3 - Lots of additional calculations are going on in the background after firing a missile. 4 - Lower altitudes will always be heavy on fps. 5 - explosions, fire and smoke will drop fps. Regards,

I get solid 60 fps at 4k. high settings. dual 1070. but on the expense of turning off mirrors which prevents sli scaling.

LOL :lol:

:thumbup::lol::book:Whatever the case may be, please dont call it a sim. Its a world. DCS World.

1080 ti all the way. Single 1070 isnt enough.

Thats what warranty is for. People should wait a little before buying until the product is thoroughly tested. however, someone has to take the leap.

In the heat of battle, neither the AWACS or the pilot has the time to repeat or re listen. But just in case, the option should be there.

It will not improve the fps but will definately improve the loading time and stutters which is a common problem with HDD. Hence its every bit worth it.

If you fly in open terrain, no matter how low you go, the Awacs will pick you up. However, If you mask your self with mountains and stay in valleys, it wont pick you up. But at that altitude you have to be very caareful regarding your throttle. Fuel consumption is very high at lower altitudes. So the key is to stay in valleys at low speed and throttle up only when you get into combat.

I have been using logitech H600. Its wireless and battery time is more than 10 hours when fully charged. Range is around 7 feet or so. Comfortable and no wires attached. Overall good experience.

According to my limited experience of DCS World, If you engage AIs, they will jettison their weapons and fuel tanks in order to evade the threat. They do it always, regarless of settings. However, it will be helpful if experience members put some light on the subject.

How come your Aim 120 C hit the missile. R73 is an infrared guided missile with almost zero radar signature while 120c is a radar guided missile. It can track Airplane but no missile. It seems to be a pure co incidence. If so, the possibilities DCS team have created are nothing less than AWSOME.

beta version or stable ??

Its not a performance drain. its actually a bug which limits the fps at around 47. Performance drain would have been if activating the mirrors put burden on the GPUs. Its the opposite. Mirrors somehow limit the use of gpus and the fps locks at late 47.

Ok gentle men. As posted before the scaling problem was from the inside view only. So there had to be something wrong with the internal view. With some hit and trial I found out that the whole problem was being created by mirrors. I turned them off and sli works like a charm now. I prefer performance over mirrors :megalol::smilewink::thumbup::book::lol:

F15 C. havent tried it on anything else.

With some research, I found out that the scaling problem exists only with inside view. The moment I switch to external view both VGA cards start to scale normally and fps gets double. Now this is view related. very difficult to pinpoint what the problem is.

The strange thing is that with sli enabled my FPS gets locked at 47 fps. Even at lighter graphics it does not go above that.

I am thinking of uninstalling dcs, delete all traces and re install to the if it makes difference. The updates might have messed up something. If ur sli is working it means problem is not with game engine. A far as drivers are concerned, its not possible for me to use older drivers as I play other latest games also. So latest drivers are necessity. Today evening am gonna un install and re install from scratch.

Same system used to run DCS perfectly fine on sli with approx 80% boost. But that was before 2.5.1. As soon as 2.5.1 came the scaling stopped. As far as PCIe lanes are concerned, 16 lanes are even enough for two 1080 tis. Something they did with 2.5.1 that stopped the scaling. Looking forward for a solution. Am missing the sli performance. Never did my fps dropped below 60 even on extreme settings.

please share your hardware.

Yes this is very much true. I have spent hours and hours in the last few days from trying to old drivers to various sli bits and tweeks. Its not scaling anymore. My FPS is stuck at 47 not matter what I do. In short negative scaling with SLI. Its something to do with the game engine its self. It doesnt support multi GPU anymore. Keeping in view the graphics in DCS, Multi GPU support is a must.

So I tried the old drivers. Tried the different bits. But its no use. I think its the problem with game engines its self.
