Mustang

It's been mentioned before, 2.5.3 brought some changes to the multiplayer IC that causes this problem, there is no real way to get around it other than entering a server straight after launching DCS.

Set pagefile from windows managed to a custom fixed size, see this thread https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3645291#post3645291

You can also set MaxFPS = 0 too as this is the same as disabling it all together - interesting about your 59fps stutter problem, goes to show that one setting for one is not the best for another (gotta love the randomness nature of PCs lol)

I'll just stick to using nV Inspector 59fps lock and Fast Sync thanks :)

You need to download a small app to enable the setting, have a read through the posts in this thread https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=220117

It's further down within the frame rate limiter list, see the image in this post https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3664349&postcount=35

Yes frame limiter v2 at 59 and MSI mode set and vsync off in DCS options.

Right here https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/nvidia-inspector-download.html

Yes but I now actually use the Frame Limiter V2 at 59 (according to blur busters forum this method uses 59 + 1 framebuffer so is more precise and less prone to stutter) also Max pre-rendered frames set to 1 helps a great deal.

Very strange, one factor might be because I have fullscreen optimizations switched off for DCS.exe maybe you could try this too, otherwise I don't know what could be causing that.

Yeah it's Mediafire and it's way of doing things, think it's time I moved away from this download platform to something less intrusive (google drive) edit: it's done, updated link in 1st post now comes from Google drive source, apologies for any inconvenience.

Because you're running the release version http://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/

Are you running all this on a traditional HDD? You didn't list an SSD in your system specs, that alone makes a huge difference especially with only 8gb of system RAM, an SSD pagefile is way quicker than a clunky HDD one.

Quality isn't that good but here is a sample of latest version

I just turn vsync off in DCS options and use Fast Sync and a 59 fps cap in nvidia inspector, far far better than vsync with non of this FPS halving nonsense.

104th Server updated to Open Beta 2.5.3.23954

Slipped in a little update today in 1st post, up to v1.18 with further tweaked fields and adjusted colour of noise texture of spring season.

Maximum pre-rendered frames of 4? you do realize that actually makes the sim more sluggish and less resource efficient, 1 pre-rendered frame is preferable.

This issue has been in DCS forever and reported many times, hopefully when we get a new weather system this bug will be resolved.

Sorry I have no plans to add anything like this to the mod at this time.

Yes I've seen this too, most noticeable over water like you demonstrate (no ideas how to solve it though)

Are you using Flat shadows? It's been a longtime bug, default shadows do not have this problem.

Never seen anything like that, maybe because I use Adblock Plus on my browser along with Java NOSCRIPT.

OK I have updated the package so the terrain has more grass cover and is far less patchy, at least that's part of the issue solved.
