You're enabling a setting that shouldn't even be used yet, there's a good reason why there is no toggle for it in options menu since it's mostly likely a work-in-progress effect, if and when it's ready to use it'll probably run a lot better.

This is by design unfortunately, it is done this way to mask the wider area texture with noise as you gain a bit more altitude. you can change the terrain.cfg.lua to have more refined low level textures by reverting line 936 back to: noise2PerSquare = 256, I only wished there were more noise levels to adjust so this isn't a factor, so it's either one or the other.

Yeah it looks like the terrain.cfg.lua from the mod is still being used while you're running stock textures so somethings mixed up, like I said try removing that file from Mods\terrains\Caucasus and doing a repair and everything should be back to normal.

That looks nothing like it should, what settings are you using in options? Do you have terrain textures set to Low? edit: that actually looks like the stock textures using the customised terrain.cfg.lua, could you try deleting that file from Mods\terrains\Caucasus directory and re-running a repair? it should replace that file with a fresh one.

Right Alt + \ for comm1 and Right Ctrl + \ for comm2.

Nah those are the only two changes since the last version, package download size has gone up in size naturally but again this is unavoidable due to the nature of how DCS reads the textures.

Wow feels like I've stumbled into a GLP thread lol

Yep I've been recommending a fixed custom 32gb pagefile to many people, even made a post about this earlier today https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3674340&postcount=317

Please give the OS a custom pagefile of 32768-32768, refer to this post https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3645291&postcount=4 I run on a 16gb RAM system with specs alot like you guys and have zero issues connecting, staying connected and playing on any server. edit: you can enforce custom network parameters too which goes a long way towards a stable connection to large missions https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3646062&postcount=6

That's a bug over the last few versions of DCS, needs fixing.

Congratulations to the 51st for their win today and SF for a hard fought 2nd place S!

Great to hear :thumbup:

A well known solution, set pagefile custom to 32768-32768 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3645291&postcount=4

It's metric values so 150000 = 150km.

Just had me thinking, you can edit the preload value directly in options.lua ["preloadRadius"] = 150000, I wonder if you could push this much higher and stop the problems with the terrain surface being drawn when switching views on maps such as the Persian Gulf.

You can also permanently store an FOV by pressing RAlt + Numpad Enter once you have the desired zoom amount.

No just leave the MaxFPS setting alone at the default 180 and let the FPS Limiter in nvidia inspector do it's thing.

A possible brute force solution would be to force the lods higher, at the cost of some FPS (not 100% sure if this trick works in 2.5.x anymore, worth a try though) Open graphics.lua (notepad++ advised) and adjust your value according to how you have your visibility set, so for extreme visibility you adjust: line 220: lodMult = 1.0; to something like lodMult = 2.0; or even more, play around and see if it helps. There needs to be an solution from ED though as I agree, some of the draw distances are way too short.

I meant scroll further down the list for frame rate limiter, see pic

Scroll further down the list, should be there.

Same here, DCS VSync is OFF, Fast Vsync enabled, Frame Limiter V2 set to 59fps in Nvidia Profile Inspector and Max Rendered Frames set at 1 - the result is zero vertical screen tearing and the latency is perfectly smooth with consistently high FPS.

Newest driver 416.34 seems to be the best at present, especially pared up with the latest October 2018 Windows 10 update 1809 (WDDM 2.5 support etc) https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/nvidia-geforce-416-34-whql-download-discussion.423424/

Yep I've now settled on MSAAx2 and SSAAx1.5 and the balance of performance and image quality is just great (as you know I has it set to SSAAx2 before but I backed off now)
