Scenes, water and shadows don't change the frame rate to me, I tried all kind of setting combinations with same frame rate. Mirrors are off by the way. I'll try to lower the screen resolution but I think it's not the point since the GPU should be able to run it without problems at 1920x1080. This beta is not GPU intensive I had very low temperatures in the GPU so it makes me think this sim is not squeezing the GPU too much. No way I overclock my CPU. I can even play FSX almost maxed out there is no way this sim couldn't run properly on my PC. This is a 4 core CPU. There is no need to overclock it!!.

First flight not very positive in terms of frame rate as expected. I created a quick mission over Krasnodar and also at Nellis in the Nevada map. My game settings My computer specs. QuadCore 2 2.50 4 GB RAM ATI 5770 1 GB Latest directx 9 libraries and catalysts drivers In my opinion a very decent PC. At the Runway 10 frames in cockpit view, ones I takeoff things doesn't improve much and I only get 20-30 when I live the city. When I checked the GPU temperature it wan't even sweating (50c) and the CPU was not nearly 70% with the 4 cores activated. Shadows, Scenes, Water and Heat blur settings didn't seem to affect the performance. Bloom effect is not available in the menu settings. It's unbeliable, almost the same graphics not even activated HDR and performance is even worse than on Blackshark.

Flying over the cities have always been an issue on any DCS product. It is not my hardware or game settings, it is just the sim is not optimized when flying over a city with many buildings around you. Arma 2 and DCS are different and that's why there are benchmarks to measure the performance of the graphic cards. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=34194&page=6 Again I'll wait for the demo and then I'll decide. Thank you for your time.

I have always had performance problems with Lockon and BlackShark. I don't want to pay $60 without trying it first. To be honest I am skeptic about how well this DCS A-10 will run when I fly over a city. I'll try the demo when it comes out and I'll see if the performance is ok. Just to say I have a relatively good computer(quadcore 2, ati 5770, 4GB ram) so performance shouldn't have been a problem ever. I can run ARMA 2 perfectly to give you an idea.

There should be an open beta to let everyone test the simulator not just the people who pre-purchased it.

If you get Mavericks and AGM-88 to work for most of the airplanes, I am sold. :D Seriously you are doing a great work, I remember in lockon 1.12 you could fly F-16 and everything else but you couldn't use mavericks or SEAD missiles. I think it could be great to get those working because it could improve missions. Shame it is not possible to add new cockpits I don't get why developers don't let that to happen. Keep the good work up!.:thumbup:
