FPS sometimes hit hard while in a F/A-18 C

[Lange_666]

While flying around in the Hornet i that the games sometimes stuttered slightly in the same way as it would do when the FPS dives below the VSync threshold. So i took the FPS counter at hand and yes, my assumption was correct. So i did comparison test between the F/A-18C and the A-10C.

Created a mission, landing at Kutaisi and then after landing taxi to the end of the runway and there turn left, taxi halfway, stop and look left.

The mission contains nothing but a non-loaded aircraft and for the rest plain DCS World, no extra objects. The difference between the two is the object count for the same mission, same world, only different aircraft.

 

 

 

A-10C Landing: FPS = 143

 

 

 

 

 

F/A-18C Landing: FPS = 124 (so a difference of around 20, object count in this view is +/- the same).

 

 

 

 

 

A-10C Taxi: FPS = 124 (the object count here is around 400).

If i look forward, the FPS still sits around the same 124.

 

 

 

 

 

 

F/A-18C Taxi: FPS = 56 !!! (the FPS drops right to below 60, if you wait a bit the object in this spot goes up to 1800 !!!

so the difference is the object count which has a hugh impact on FPS, the difference between sitting in the A-10C or the F/A-18C is almost 70!!!)

If i look forward here, the FPS rises up to around 72.

 

 

Now, in the images before touching the ground the difference is only +/- 20 FPS, however once landed the difference goes up to +70 for the same spot.

Why?

uumh you have 144 fps in 2.5??

I have a faster system than yours, all maxed out and I can't get 144 fps ( playing in 2k)

what setting are your running??

I’ve noticed very bad FPS in the Hornet after landing as well. In fact I posted about it here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=220263

 

Glad to see im not the only one. Great spot with the number of objects! 1800 is a lot lol.

 

Maybe it would be good to link this over in the F-18 specific forum?

I'm not maxed out to prevent dips below 60.

This needs some attention over in the Hornet hugs forum tbh.

Doubled my post overthere.

The same mission just swapped machines cause an unpleasant drop of -15 fps on the Hornet.

Although the drop is not so dramatic, but it is better to have a 60 than a 44 fps and less.

The scenario described by Lange_666 is known for me every time I land in Novorossiysk for rearming and refueling. Recently I got new rig and every single module (exept Mig-21) runs really nicely in VR. I hoped to see some improvement regarding to FPS drops and stutters I experience after landing the Hornet but, the problem seems to be more related to game code as I see. Just to let you know, the game in VR becomes almost unplayable after landing.

Persian Golf:

 

Settings same as above.

Object count no more then 239

 

 

 

HUD image: FPS 187 (object count 239)

 

 

 

Looking right to the moon: FPS 181 (object count 239)

 

 

Looking left to the sun: FPS 85 (big hit by looking left, object count 239)

 

 

After landing in front of a hangar, slightly looking right: FPS 57 (even bigger hit, just before when i could see beside the hangar the FPS even dipped a bit lower). Object count 250)

happens to me always at PG when parked on the carrier in the arabian sea east of oman/uae traveling north, with Fujairah on 9 oclock. looking to the east (iran) gives me around 120fps, looking west kills the fps down to ~25. even if Fujairah city is not visible btw. i'm VR only
