drop in fps due to flares and such

[baksie]

My framrates drop dramatic due to flares and for instance MLRS's firing.

What option do I have?

[rapid]

what pc spec do you have?

you may have to turn some of your graphics settings down.

I get the same..I think it may be due to the density of the smoke. My fps dont drop much in cockpit view with the flares but the MLRS and mass arty strikes are a killer. I just make my own missions and dont use the MLRS or large arty strikes. But I dont have a super PC either. I still get a solid 30+- fps with a single core intel 3.4 extreme,2gigs ram and a nvidia 8400gs 512 card.I have my options on med and did edit some of the other usual options in then LUA. either way i just deal with it because this is an excellent sim by all means. nice work ED. I am a rotorhead and i am still sportin wood over this.....

Yeah we need another flare mod!

 

There was a guy flying around the FARP in the 159th server and just unloading flares. I had to ask him to stop lol.

Try this (Flare shader modification). Lock On version also present.

three posts above - "nurs-table.zip" - the same for MLRS.

Thanks DarkWanderer...will give this a try

The first post by Olsiv, about a Flare mod is great, much more realistic in the smoke trail and FPS saving.

 

Also your mod is great in FPS saving.

 

Thanks for pointing us in this direction.

nurs-table.rar is the shader mod for the MLRS smoke?

 

So we need both that and FlareTrail.vsh.DCS.rar?

Nice with a mod for this. Can it be placed in the english mod section too? :) Think it will help many.

Hi guys,

 

I have fps issues with the Vikhr and rocket smoke trails. Is there a way to modify those?

 

Thanks,

Download the file.

 

Locate your DCS-BlackShark installation folder.

 

Open folder "Config", then open folder "Weapons".

 

You will see a list of .LUA-files, including "nurs_table.lua"

 

Rename this file to "nurs_table.original" or just copy it somewhere else.

 

 

Insert Dark Wanderers file "nurs_table.lua" into the folder and start BS.

Bazar\Effects\RenderEffects\Shaders. Don't forget to backup the original.
