Flying F-18 in VR in the Marianas map

  • Laika007 changed the title to Flying F-18 in VR in the Marianas map

Why in the world not?

Does this happen with other maps too?

A short may be helpful.

At the moment the map, over water is fine, go overland and you drive a slide show… it’s not optimised the same way the other maps…  same settings, as I use every where else.

For the last couple of months, I have been creating (and flying) carrier-based missions for the FA-18C, Supercarrier, and the Marianas Island map with no special problems.  Because the MI map is highly detailed on land, I do have to use lower DCS settings for AG missions to avoid hanging and stuttering in VR.  However, I am able to use higher DCS settings for AA engagements over the water-- which is nearly two/thirds of the map.  Consequently, it depends entirely on what type of missions you wish to fly.  As for me, the MI map is the best map DCS has created so far.  Hope this helps.  (Currently working on a modern version of the "Marianas Turkey Shoot").

yep if you are over ground significantly reducing settings  helps a great deal...

Is Ugra involved in Marianas?  I'm seeing a lot of similarities in naming conventions and directory structures between Marianas and Syria.

Interesting question. Another similarity is that these are the only two maps that the terrain kneeboard has not been implemented.

I mean comparing to all-water to low-alt land. Downtown Beirut is really bad, I have not checked out Damascus for quite a while so I cannot be certain. Moreover, big cities in the Syria map are dense, not as dense as in MSFS, probably the highest density in terms of buildings. So I don't get why this and the Channel maps are such a big framerate eater.

I dunno but i have no problem flying through Vegas at low alt. In the desert is even better.

Yeah I wonder why you're getting those frames 😕

Its possible to run around with 90fps locked 90% of the time on the map with proper settings.  And if you lock to 45fps you wont ever dip.

I can turn off the terrain shadows or switch back to 72Hz

Hi all,

That's exactly my experience as well... Even with reduced settings, can't get it work smoothly over lands. Every other map is butter smooth, so for me Marianas is unusable in VR so far.
