Wilhelms Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Guys, every time I start a mission with bomber formations, I realize that the FPS drops dramatically, especially when the bombers drop bombs, that slows down the DCS. Does that happen to you as well? I'm impressed with the new AAA and the defensive capabilities of the bomber formation, the Bf-109s and the FW-190s with this upgrade, can barely get close to the B-17s.

Things like explosions are still using old effects, its possible they just arent optimized well enough for the current engine, I hope it will improve with new effects.

ED Team NineLine Posted June 22, 2017 ED Team Share Posted June 22, 2017 Yes, the explosions should not be optimized yet. But do you also have problems with lag when viewing or just approaching bomber formations? Hmmm, I dont think I noticed anything with them just flying in formation, how many bombers are you trying to view?

Wilhelms Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hmmm, I dont think I noticed anything with them just flying in formation, how many bombers are you trying to view? I usually use 20 to 28 bombers. In normal missions where there are no bombers, I have about 60/65 fps, only on Caen and Carentan that I dropped to about 50 fps. But in the escort missions of the bombers, I have some drops for 38 fps, when they launch the bombs (when they only launch, but have not yet hit the ground) the game gives a lot of lag (5 fps). When I shoot the guns of the fighters, I also have fps drops with around 10/15 fps.

Wilhelms Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Is DCS on a SSD drive? No, it's in normal HD. My SSD has only 128Gb, and the 2.1 has 76.5Gb (quite small :lol:), lacking space.

I understand. I will buy an SSD and see if performance improves. Normandy and Assets Pack are getting very good, after correcting these performance issues and adding more units and functions, the map will look perfect. Thanks for the help, my friend. :thumbup: Windows 10 64 Bits | Intel I7-3770 | Corsair H100i | 16GB DDR3 | 128GB + 480gb SSD | GTX 1080 G1 Gaming | TrackIR 5 | HOTAS Warthog | CH Pro Pedals [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted June 23, 2017 ED Team Share Posted June 23, 2017 I know I moved my Nevada/Normandy install to my SSD and I saw a noticeable change, it wont fix anything, but I can highly recommend it. Everything else on your system seems pretty top notch. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctguy1955 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I hope the new Normandy upgrades will help as I have never been able to fly without DCS (Not responding) crashing. Nevada has no problems. I would appreciate knowing if I should be able to use mission editor or something and get to use a tank in WWII Assets Pack ? I did get to try and catch up with a ton of bombers in My Dora when I downloaded a mission from the Users download area and it was awesome before it crashed !!!

cthulhu68 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) I would appreciate knowing if I should be able to use mission editor or something and get to use a tank in WWII Assets Pack ? The Assets Pack allows you to use these things (armor, bombers. ships, etc..) to populate a mission or fly in any mission that contains them. It doesn't allow you to operate and fight with them though. For that you need Combined Arms Module. Edited June 23, 2017 by cthulhu68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSix2 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Using the assets is limited. For what I've tried I've only been in the Panther? Panzer? Forget which one but couldnt change seats. Tried the Shermans and the game crashes. WIP. The 40mm Bofors works too with CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much point to a night bomber without a night fighter to defend against it. Lancasters were regularly used in daylight during the Normandy landings and after. Johnny Johnson in his book Wing Leader recalls as part of the softening up of German positions in and around Caen that during a daylight escort mission he personally observed a Lancaster breaking away from the main stream and strafing a german vehicle column!
