graphics drop, espessialy when looking down in the cockpit.

[CrazyGman]

So I was running default High settings with a couple of changes. I was running at around 110-90 fps in the cockpit. However after tweaking a few settings, but then reverting to my old settings I

now get a noticeable fps drop, especially when I look down at the gauges or glass screens in the cockpit. Now instead of 110-90 I'm getting 55-49 sometimes.

 

This happened once before, and I though I had fixed it by reverting to default high setting which seemed to bring it back, but now after I tweaked it a bit, I'm getting very poor fps again, but reverting to default high doesn't seem to change anything.

 

Any Idea why this is happening, and how to fix it?

 

My system is a 1080ti running at 2.0ghz, a 9700k overclocked to 2.0ghz. an SSD, and 32gigs of ram, at 3200hz.

a lot of people suggest removing 2 folders after each time gfx settings are changed

 

C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\fxo

C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\metashaders2

 

these will get recreated next time you run DCS

 

also be aware of what settings in DCS you change because there are some that are an apparent no-no to have set.

 

have a look at the settings of mine i posted here

Yeah i delete those folders each time i change a setting but it doesb't make a difference. And it's something specifical with the cockpit but for any aircraft it's not like the SA page and radar issue as has occured before. For soe reason looking down innthe cockpit drops my frames by 50fps. I fixed it once, but can't seem to fix it again.

This very suspiciously looks what I was recently reporting, DCS seems like it does not have Occlusion Culling, that means your PC is rendering all the objects you would see on the terrain under your cockpit if your cockpit was transparent, but they are just hidden in this case, rendered for nothing, a huge waste, hopefully this feature is implemented when Vulkan API upgrade comes.Try testing on empty (desert) vs populated terrain (city)

 

 

However if that isnt your primary issue, it coul just be the cockpit it self, how much draw calls it has down there, this is all different for each airplane, its normal to have fps drop looking down, the more sky you see the more FPS.
