I can't find the setting for it. I'm using Asus UEFI.

is this important? What should it be and can you provide a link of suggested settings?

Good results. I'd be interesting in hearing if this is a sustained improvement or just due to that one mission.

Hahaha. Picturing you with electrodes glued to your head!! Quality!!

I generally use Path hold when climbing out to waypoints, Alt/Heading hold when I'm at the desired height and just flying about and Alt hold when orbiting an area looking for targets or waiting for JTAC to respond near the IP - something like that. Just pan down to the swich (or have it mapped to your stick), select the correct option and when your speed is above 200 hit the A key. If your speed isn't fast enough, the AP will disconnect as there is not enough airflow to keep the jet balanced in the correct configuration. The AP won't fight to keep you in the correct configuration if your speed is low when you engage it, but if your speed drops when it is already engaged, it will keep you at the right configuration. To turn off AP, you can either manouever until it disengages, or just press the A key again. I use both methods (not at the same time), depending on what's going on!

I was scanning the outside of the jet and the shadows that come off the canopy spars and are cast on the fuselage look jaggy - as well as the cockpit ones along the rails.

OK, set all antialiasing to application control and still getting 60FPS. Just out of interest, is it normal that the shadows still look jaggy? No AA applied to shadows then?

Right, so now I've changed all the vsync settings to: Vertical sync = Use the 3D Application Setting Vertical sync tear control = standard And turned on vsync in the options in game. All looking good at 60 FPS.

Its actually a Samsung S27B350H.

It's a Samsung monitor. 27". I'll get back to you with the model as I'm at work just now. Just out of interest Wolf, what FPS are you currently getting?

A perfect answer Oz - thanks for that info :-)

Ah - nVidia Inspector. Never knew about that!

I don't have this in my options.

I was mearly hinting at weaknesses in my system - not the fact that I want loads more FPS. I didn't know it was throttled back by the refresh rate. Thanks for all the info :-) Very helpful and has put my mind at ease.

So let me get this right. My screen rate is 60Hz. Therefore my FPS will be either 30ish or 60ish depending on the hardware needs at the time in the sim. Even if I had 50 graphics cards and a 1000 core cip with a billion GB of RAM, I couldn't get any higher than 60 FPS due to the screen refresh rate. What I'm trying to get at is that it's not my system, more the monitor.

Well if I disable vsync in vnidia setup, then I get the torn graphics. I've just tried it. The only way to get rid of those is to have vsync on. I set the MaxFPS to 60 too.

Thanks Bucic. That's really helpful. Explains a lot and as such, nothing to be worries about :-)

I've been toying with getting another GTX680 sometime in the not too distant future. But currently I'm getting 60 FPS all maxed out anyway so what benifit would I see? Not much probably, not noticable anyhow.

OK, so now I've put vsync on in the nvidia settings (on - not adaptive), turned it off in game and the lines have totally gone and the FPS is around 61. Top banana!!!

Well I tried the ingame vsync to see if that would improve things. FPS still up around 64-65 and the lines when I move my head around have gone (feint lines where the graphics are not lining up momentarily) but not as good a solution as the nvidia settings. That was much better. Still, I could probably live with it for a while.

Thanks Tom. The FPS is now up at 60. However, I now get lines across the screen. I presume this is due to vsync being off. That is annoying and will be an issue for me. Any workaround?

Not in game, but I have adaptive Vsync in the nvidia settings

Hey guys, Just wondering if someone out there could offer some advice. I've got a half decent rig and the max FPS I can seem to get out of the DCSW (specifically A10C) is 30. I've got most settings up full whack and when I do minor tweaks like shadows to medium or water to medium I get no increase in FPS. My config/graphics file is unchanged so maxFPS is set to 120. Any ideas?

What do these settings actually do? I've not applied any of these settings yet but I've got a fairly decent system and my FPS seems to be static at 30, no matter what I do to the settings.
