I didn't see any performance impact on my machine that's due to clouds (I put them on ULTRA for now but DCS crashed before I could test the other presets _ I doubt you can tell the difference between ULTRA and HIGH or even STANDARD in VR anyway but it needs testing). I also turned on SSAO which looks incredible. The problem is though, as mentioned in the Known Issues, the entire cloud layer dances up and down (not just distant clouds but everywhere).

It's all gone on ultra, with no noticable performance hit. Got a few crashes too, but it's all good. 1
zildac Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 So there is a definite impact on performance in VR as it stands currently. My GPU frametimes are up about 4ms and my CPU frametimes are up, well I never even bothered looking at my CPU frametime before tbh. This is with clouds on "standard" on "high" it's even more noticeable. 14900KS | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 6600 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero

What I saw on standard, rain preset was some diagonal lines on the base of one cloud, forming a weird triangle. Very obvious and noticable. They seem to be fine on ultra.

JayRoc Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Yeah same for me. On Standart they look like minecraft and on ultra its fine. Its also nice to see that they limited the area that is rendered in VR like these shader-Mod.

Blinde Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 I gotta say, these new clouds look mighty fine, even on standard. Thank you, ED!
SparxOne Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) My expectations are met, it looks beautiful and this screenshot was taken not later than 3 minutes after takeoff. Good job ED, i'm really glad and happy to have this upgrade ! Edited April 14, 2021 by SparxOne

SERGIOABRAZ Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Downloaded and tested, one word: Spectacular, not only did the clouds feel a considerable improvement in textures and brightness.

zildac Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Hmm, when it's not crashing - 4 so far - I'm not seeing any hit in VR at all.
