Personally I'm loving the additional feedback of the afterburner "fake" sound option. Small things like this allow us some feedback of what's going on, and detail sounds are very useful no matter how "unrealistic" they may be. I'd be okay with things going either way. It would be nice to have a global option to have "additional unrealistic noises" for things like the gear, air brakes, (do tail hooks whistle?), AB lighting, etc. edit - I just realized Bunny said the same thing. A slider, even as low as 3-way option would be nice.... and would be nice if it were truly global, including third-party addons. In XPlane11 there are mods that can add multiple sound effects and overlayed to your liking which is HUGE. In the racing sims, sounds are a make or break it situation on the edge of grip, DCS can be the same way at times. Telltale sounds no matter how unrealistic are a great option for those of us without feedback systems. But have it AS an option is great for those that DO have feedback systems. Thanks btd.

F16 raising and lowering landing gear no longer makes any noise; with or without helmet hearing.

Ran test again on all maps. Nevada and Persian Gulf seem to be fine. Caucasus and Normandy have the issue. Relocated in Caucasus to southeast corner of map to see if it was loading assets off map, but results are inconclusive to me. Tested again with A-10C, while it had a hiccup, not nearly the performance loss, but one ping to high CPU use, but never returned. Tried same test with AV8B using TPOD and DMT, issue remained. Maverick alone did not have poor results. I believe issue is related to DMT. System specs: i7 6700k @ 4.4Ghz 32GB DDR4 @ 4000Mhz Nvidia 1080Ti @ 3440x1440 DCS Open Beta v 2.5.6.45915 I don't have software to track FPS, but in Harrier it was nothing but stutters, it couldn't hold a constant FPS no matter how low or where it say, it was always stutters. av8b extreme CPU 3.trk A10C similar track av8b extreme CPU.trk

Not much to say, but I've tested this at least on Caucasus up to this point, and looking 090-365, I get incredible frame drops to single digits, and CPU churning to 100% until I fly basically direct north or north, northeast. Will test on other maps and return with findings. But it obviously makes it impossible to continue flying like this. Other test I have to make: does same occur using TPOD. av8b extreme CPU 2.trk
