Massive fps drop in vr when looking at the tower

[doclucio]

Hi guys, 3080ti Whit i9 10900k and reverb g2 running at 60hz stable here. When on the deck of the supercarrier everithing is fine untill i look at the tower…then i get a massive fps drop from 60 to 33…i think is related to all the people ?!?

My money is on the miriad of complex and rotatng antenna. Unreststricted, the fps rises and falls in line with the rotation.  They make for complex and ever changing shadows and many have aspects to draw and compute

Settings? I run MSAA off, medium textures, low shadows, additional shadows off, and don't get much performance hit. 

I do occasionally get the lens closest to the tower flickering black on occasion, though.

I too take a big frame-rate hit.  Perhaps it's something DCS could take a look at optimizing.  I don't want to have to lower my settings for shadows etc when everything is fine in all other aspects of the game.  It's just when looking at the tower in close proximity.

Yeah I see this too. When I test in 2D I notice that the goes up and down by a huge margin. Say from 40fps to over 80, then drops. Over and over in just a few seconds. Happens on any mission I have with the simpler missions having higher upper and lower numbers. Seems odd.
