santa8086 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Only a few hours in, I really like the map. I get incredible performance anywhere south of Punta Arenas. HOWEVER, around there and anywhere north, I can't go below 1000ft without vomit inducing stutter. Getting the camera above 1000ft, in cockpit or via external view, immediately fixes the issue.

Its better (and I recomended it too for SA map), I agree, but its a kind of "VR mod" for DCS. We need optimalization of urban area here for stock DCS. 2 hours ago, santa8086 said: I can't go below 1000ft without vomit inducing stutter. Getting the camera above 1000ft, in cockpit .... Maybe here is a LOD issue of objects? Its case of FPS drop, I dont know. The biggest drop and good place to see the poor perfomance is Ushuaia Heliport and doing some circles to 400ft around the city. My GPU card is kneeling here (but the urban area is really small!) .

Hammer1-1 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 if theres a lod issue, it errs on the low side because Im having a hard time believing the LOD is this poor. it brings me back to flying around FSX with ORBX products. 1 Intel 13900k @ 5.8ghz | 64gb GSkill Trident Z | MSI z790 Meg ACE| Zotac RTX4090 | Asus 1000w psu | Slaw RX Viper 2 pedals | VKB Gunfighter Mk3 MCE Ultimate + STECS/ Virpil MongoosT50+ MongoosT50CM |Virpil TCS+ AH64D grip + custom AH64D TEDAC | HP Reverb G2 | Windows 11 Pro | |Samsung Odyssey G9 | Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro My wallpaper and skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old CV1, and haven't update drivers in a while, might this be the cause? As for general performances, yesterday I only managed to make a couple of flights, one around Ushuaia, one over East Falkland.

In general, above a certain altitude (say, at least 5/6 thousand feet), fps are decent enough to perceive what happens around me as fluid, especially on the Islands; once below it, Falklands remains fluid enough, even though a concentration of human made objects does slow down things quite a bit (say, over Stanley), the mainland becomes a slideshow around cities, or in areas where there are many trees (things are better over glaciers and fiords).

YoYo Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 What I see, trees has a problem too, so maybe the issue in optimalization is here. Fly low, 100-200 ft AGL in trees area (where there are many of them), but look to right or left fairly (head 90deg, keep it longer). You will notice stutter too (MR has a problem to achive stable FPS). This isnt present on Caucasus or Syria map. So to FPS checking and improving: - urban areas - trees (more FPS friendly) 2 Webmaster of http://www.yoyosims.pl Win 10 64, i9-13900 KF, RTX 4090 24Gb OC, RAM 64Gb Corsair Vengeance LED OC@3600MHz,, 3xSSD+3xSSD M.2 NVMe, Predator XB271HU res.2560x1440 27'' G-sync, Sound Blaster Z + 5.1, TiR5, [MSFS, P3Dv5, DCS, RoF, Condor2, IL-2 CoD/BoX] VR fly only: Meta Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightstalkerNOR Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) 14 hours ago, NightstalkerNOR said: I am going back on what I wrote earlier. I initially (on the first test run) had very limited FPS, making takeoffs, landings and low flight practically impossible. However, I tried the map again at the same locations and the results are totally different, on the positive side. The same as any other maps, really. EDIT: oh, and I made no changes to the settings. I am correcting myself. I just did some testing again in Chile/Argentina as well as in the Falklands. After a while, 15 or so minutes, the FPS plummets to the unplayable, especially in any critical phase of the flight, ie. landings and nap of the earth flying. It only happens after passing below 900 feet AGL. It kicks in most frequently around 850 ft. AGL. No matter what terrain type, elevation or vegetation. 850 ft. AGL consequently = massive FPS loss. Staying above 850 ft. AGL is smooth flight I tried to adjust terrain textures settings to low. No effect.

Hi Gianky, I have an Oculus Rift CV1 too and used it with GTX 1070 for around 2 years. Today I use it was an AMD RX 6800XT. The behavior with both screens flickering/turning off for some seconds, or maybe just one, is something I had seen twice, but I was not able to reproduce it. Some month later, while haven't used the Rift for some time, I noticed a missing sound from the right speaker. Inside the Rift there is a ribbon cable, that starts on the right side, goes around your head (right ear > back > left ear) and is responsible for audio and sensors on the back of the headset > this one was broken and it is not a rare phenomenon. I bought my Rift at Oculus when the Rift S was around the corner and luckily had warranty when it happened. After I got a new (refurbished) headset from Oculus I first fixed the right headstrap - I used black armored tape. The left headstrap is still able to move, but there is no ribbon cable that could broke. My recommendation for you is to do this as long as your CV1 is working. If you need more help, I could send you a picture that shows my Rift with fixed headstrap. have a good flight and see you in DCS, Carsten (Dino1981) Edited June 9, 2022 by Dino1981 Intel i7 3770 (@4,1GHz), NVIDIA GTX 1070, 16GB RAM 1600MHz, Microsoft Sidewinder 2, Windows 10 Professional, Oculus Rift :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have this also when I am below 800ft AGL. It only has occurred on this map and happens irrespective of what the local terrain is. It was suggested to me to turn off mirrors to help this but I have not tried that yet. My system is pretty new and of reasonable specs (RTX3080, i7 11700, Quest 2 with cable, 32GB, SSD load.)

lax22 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) For me the texture pop in on this map is way worse than on other maps with the same settings.

Everything was working perfect for me until I descended below 1000 feet AGL. What in-game settings do you have? I have no issues playing other maps with heavy scripted missions (ie. Liberation), and I took off from the SA map without any scripts or other units. Just myself. So I suspect there may be a significant setting that impact the performance so heavily I have most settings on high (shadows included) with MSAA at 2x. I have good performance all over the map. 21 hours ago, YoYo said: Do You use any VR mod? What altitude? Where have you been? You are on GTX 1070 and its ok? WOW ? Sell me your GPU pls!!!

Eugel Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I did some more testing and it seems to me that the problem lies with shadows. If I turn them off completely, I get pretty smooth framerates, even at Ushuaia. If I set them even just to "low" - stutters like crazy over the city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but It cant be true or you do inaccurate tests (you wrote also that near all in settings you have on High level). It isnt possible to have stable FPS on urban area and near trees (larger forest). If you are in the cosmos, you can reach good FPS or when you are on empty places - here right but not on low, urban/airports level below 1000ft. Im on 3090, not on 2080 and see here an issue, like many in this topic. What I wrote before, if your GPU has stable 45 fps and you gaurantee this, sell me it, I'll pay the price of 3090. Few next topic about performance problem (and you havent it, really strange): (I see that on urban area some people in 2D have 25-30 FPS).

Setting that to High causes the severe stutter at low altitudes, setting to medium completely clears the issue. It is a pretty severe difference, and only occurs at low altitude, so in my mind it still fits in the "bug" classification. My system can easily handle the High setting on the other maps.

And I can fly 50 feet off the ground without any stutters pretty much everywhere. The problem starts over airfields, larger cities or areas with lots of trees. Also, from a certain distance, those are fine, it starts when I get very close. So I think it could be LOD related, or as I wrote earlier, shadows.
