Ok, problem still present but have a little more info. In Falcon 4:AF 3D cockpit mode, I get some stutterig on the ground textures like in BS. Do these two have anything in common?

Ok, FSX works like a charm with maxed graphics. That tells me its something with DCS. But what? It sucks, the game I want most to play is the one with the issues. :) Anyone got any further ideas? I'll do the swap file trick, but I'd rather not have to reboot my machine each time I want to run applications vs gaming. Edit: On a lark, trid runing it in WinXP SP2 compatibility mode. Got 10 FPS back. Weird.

Gotcha, thats what I did, hit the "No Swap" but didnt reboot. Will try that. Thanks for the help!

Tried setting page file to 0, number never updated in the window, do I need to reboot after setting that? I loaded BS after setting page file to 0 with no difference, but didn't reboot first. I also reinstalled this morning with no difference. Get stuttering from the terrain mostly, setting cockpit res to highest makes no difference. Also, for the guy who asked about CPU, my monitor shows all four cores running at fairly high capacity after I set affinity. Is there something in particular I could see or test? Edit: Going to install FSX now and see what happens. Will update.

Ok, heres something else. I lowered the settings to "embarrassing" 1024x768 etx. and ran it. Still no higher fps than 17. Weird. Will try some other games now. Ok. COD:WaW runs like a damn champ on this machine. 30-40 on highest settings, no stuttering what-so-ever. Must be a DCS:BS issue, may have to reinstall. I'm open to other theories and courses of action.

Ok, I've tried new drivers for sound, graphics, motherboard, and even DirectX10 and to no avail. Still 10-15 fps. Setting affinity to all 4 cores does not seem to affect it. Under the Task Manager "Virtualization" is checked, is that supposed to be there? Also, Black Shark is installed in my x32 program folder, is that correct as well? Edit: Should I try reinstalling Black Shark? Edit2: When doing the affinity trick I assign CPUs 0-3? Correct? (I have 4 cores)

Yes, my version came with SP1. I was also careful to get the x64 bit drivers for everything that I could. I notice when I run dcdiag, I have an error with DirectShow. Dxdiag crashes if I don't disable it on the next run. A hint perhaps?

Done Done Done Done Sound is a little wonky in the pit, but I hear others having that issue as well. I'll try sound again, just in case. Im not even on the highest settings, Water is normal, gauges at 512 (All-Time), no mirrors, and medium view distance. ARRRGH!:mad: Will try again after dinner.

Nvidia Ver 181.20, for clarification.

ASUS M3A78-EM motherboard w/ latest drivers Nvidia driver ver: 7.15.11.6906 Audigy 4 Drivers 6.0.1.1361 Swap File is Page File, right? If so I've got roughly 8 GB reserved with 1.5 in use Help, the game is unplayable now. ;)

Ok, something odd has occurred. I was getting great frames in XP32 at near top settings with the same hardware. Now in Vist64 I get 9-12 even using the affinity trick. I have latest drivers installed (altough Vista says it has an update for mt vid card, weird, but will install). Any idea why this would happen?

Are you kidding, I love the rudder rocker switch!

Love the mission, playing it MP with a buddy of mine. One thing though, the music is horrendous! I like Flamenco as much as the next guy, but its quite distracting. We took it out.

A Split S in a chopper? I gotta see that :)

Cool, so Im doing it right :)

Hey guys, got a Q and some discussion to follow. I've gotten the Black Shark to Loop with no issue. Its the "perfect" barrel roll that continues to elude me. Heres my scenario: Speed: 225 km/h ALT: 800m I roll the aircraft to the left (that much right cyclic input would cause blade collision at speed, right?) I complete the roll with one of two outcomes: 1) Roll completed with overspeed warnings and extremely fast descent with loss of some input control. Loss of perhaps 700m of altitude during roll. Aircraft is recovered. 2) Same as above, but blade collision occurs due to excessive control input to arrest descent. Is there any way to: a) complete the roll without such a loss of altitude? (please post procedure and a track if able) b) complete the roll at a slower speed to avoid overspeed and perhaps alt loss. Thanks and discuss.

I love the Ka-50. Its like being a pack of wolves on the battlefield. Attack and slink back into the lair, never touched, fading into the dusk as the fires of slain vehicles reach into the burning sky.

I can loop it but I cant barrel roll it.

Well, I guess its OOOOOOOOOOOO MOOOJJJAAVVEEE for me.

Will this work for WinXP32? Apparently we dont get the benefit of affinity trick for BS.

How did you get your drawings in the ABRIS? Edit: Got it. It allows my drawings, but no reference points? Any idea why?

I will answer what I can and offer useless conjecture for the rest. 1) This one is less invasive. Specifically, this one does not latch onto your colon wall and report biometric data back to StarForce through your LAN connection. Big difference. 2) a. Yes b. If your key is stolen a set of interlocking stainless steel bars will release from the ceiling and enclose the perpetrator within your office. You may then tickle, torture, or titillate your captive until police arrive. 3) No Idea. 4) DRM will be given a comprehensive benefits package in its peak years and then will be eased out of the workforce by a snotty, wet-nosed, recent college grad and put out to pasture in a run down nursing home while collecting a pittance of a pension check. DRM will slowly fade into obscurity, ultimately expiring in a sudden, terrible but humorous incident with a vacuum cleaner, 2 tennis balls and a small marmot. Glad I could help.

Yes, already have a couple missions that use this. It works!

Ok, other than checking your ABRIS before T/O has anyone had any luck printing maps off the game. I'd love to have a reference, rather than screwing my head into the ABRIS with TIR and attempting to manipulate the controls.
