obious Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I've noticed that whenever I land/take off from the SC during the day/dusk, my FPS is fine and perfectly fluid. However, at night when the island flood lights come on, it absolutely tanks framerates. I imagine because there are a lot of shadows etc to calculate and render. Until there's some optimisation that occurs or hardware catches up (or both) can we have an option to turn off the island flood lights at night? It may not be entirely accurate but at least I can fly night ops. Thanks!

This wouldn't just be good for frames, but also good to be able to simulate 'black outs' which really can/do happen especially in wartime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the option "secondary shadows: off". It only disables additional shadows but not the lights. I doubt you'll see any fps difference with your hardware though. Btw, if you can't play with your "Intel 12900k @ 5.2Ghz, RTX 4090" then who can? You sure it's not some relabeled/rebios 1050?

I’m pretty sure Scan don’t sell fake hardware. The 4090 handles most cases but the island night lighting is something that it just can’t, unless I drop the PD in SteamVR down from 1.5 to 1.1-1.2 Intel 12900k @ 5.2Ghz, RTX 4090, Samsung 1TB NVME, Thrustmaster Warthog & F-18 stick, Pendular Rudder Pedals - Quest Pro AV8B N/A UFC Build Log AV8B N/A PCBs for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a joke of course but still surprising that a few lights make such a big difference for 4090 and by PD change you also confirm it's not a CPU problem. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I know, I’m surprised by it as well. Navigating the deck during the day is absolutely no problem but for whatever reason, the floodlights on the island just batter FPS 1 Intel 12900k @ 5.2Ghz, RTX 4090, Samsung 1TB NVME, Thrustmaster Warthog & F-18 stick, Pendular Rudder Pedals - Quest Pro AV8B N/A UFC Build Log AV8B N/A PCBs for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRL if the Island flood lights go out, you can't do night flight ops! It's as important as the Lens. If the Crash crane is INOP, we cannot have flight operations period. Certain things are integral to Flight ops and the Floods are one of them. If a real black out happens onboard the ship, the birds will more than likely go to the beach. 3 DO it or Don't, but don't cry about it. Real men don't cry!
