Framerate - general comment and specific issue

[Extranajero]

I get the worst framerate of all the DCS modules I own with the F-16, are any other users having similar results ?

It's still useable, but on the very low side of what I personally call useable.

 

Specific issue - which I haven't posted as a bug report because I'm not sure if it's being reported already - in multiplayer once my INS is aligned and I switch to NAV the framerate goes through the floor. From 45-50 to low teens sort of numbers.

I know there's a Datalink issue, but is this the same thing ?

Sounds like it's the same bug, since once INS alignment is complete and you switch to NAV, datalink information starts displaying on the HSD.

 

Try the same thing, but leaving the MIDS switch to OFF during startup.

If you switch off of the HSD page it will fix the frame rate issue until it is fixed. That is what I do anyway. I will quickly switch to it and back if looking for a bit of SA. But yes, it’s not just you. I believe everyone is getting low FPS with the HSD displaying SA.

Drops lower by 20fps for me on the ramp with 60 players. Down to Av 45. Causing me no issues I`m aware of though.

I haven't noticed any frame drops with my Index resulting from using L16 and HSD. I had this problem with the Hornet at one time but fortunately so far L16 hasn't been an issue in the Viper. Is it possible it's a HMD specific issue or is this happening on a monitor?

[IRememberJeep]

I get it specifically from the HSD after MIDS is switched on and INS is switched to Nav. So basically when it starts displaying SA on that page. As soon as I switch to SMS or a different page the frames come back. If I switch back to HSD the frames drop again. I have no issues with the F-18 SA page or any other aircraft for that matter, so I figured it was a bug of some sort.

Thanks everyone. I think I might park the F-16 up until it's a bit more developed.

Don't get me wrong, it's got loads of potential and I'm sure it'll be great, but I'll come back to it in a few updates time.

What are your average FPS? Is the cv1 really that bad? Is it the oculus software? My system specs are better than yours, and I can barely sustain 45fps.

same here, no other modules have this problem, I had to make specific game setting for f-16.

I have almost -10 fps lost with f-16, I hope it will be fixed. fopr now it is in the hangar

These are 2D not vr fps as the OP was 2d or didn't say otherwise I haven't bothered checking losses in vr but it causes me no issues there either.

The FPS issue is related to the HSD-Datalink. Cold jet great frames, after startup and the HSD-Datalink page is up, frames take a dive.

Oh I apologize. I guess I assumed you were talking about in VR, due to your signature showing you have a valve index. :)

My F-16 didn't spend very long parked up waiting for more frames then :D

The bug seems to be squashed and I could swear that there's a small but noticeable FPS increase too. Might be wishful thinking though...

There maybe be some improvements. I sill think its user hardware and setup specific. I have had these conversations with people about performance here on the forums, Facebook, and Discord. A lot of them are having issues on older systems, they have not cleared their caches over several updates, or they have yet to tweak and optimize windows.

 

Like the MFD readability debate. People have benched this jet because they can not read the MFD's, others have no problem. So who is at fault for that? ED or the end users setup and ability/willingness to improve their system?

[Oceandar]

I have nice FPS in Viper after latest update. FPS drop with DL on is no longer an issue. Getting 50 - 60 fps avg, before like 40-45

 

Thanks ED.

I am willing to try whatever to get clearer mfd's. And I think? my system is pretty decent?

Have you tried the F-16C Readable MFDs mod ? Makes the white whiter

I downloaded it last night, but haven't yet. I planned to tonight after work :)
