Gorn557 Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 I guess I'll put this in wishlist since I don't think there's a way to do this (someone please tell me if there is!). I use time compression a lot and when flying in VR, going faster than 2x time compression changes the refresh rate in such a way that the visuals are updated in a very choppy manner which is extremely disorienting. I've done some testing on several different PCs and my assertion is that this is actually not solely a CPU frametime problem- both my stock i7-6700 and my overclocked i9-13900 behave in exactly the same way in this regard. At the first step of time compression it's a reasonably smooth image but then it starts freezing and jerking at the next step, even though the frametimes are much lower on the 13900. My guess is that the code is updating the image less frequently on the higher compression settings (as opposed to the higher frametime) but as this is extremely disorienting it makes the feature very hard to use.

Just because you CAN do a thing in VR, does not mean you SHOULD do that thing. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2

Exorcet Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 At some point going fast is going to stress your PC. The stuttering depends very heavily on how complex your mission is. If you're just watching a lone AI you can speed up 20-30 times with no problem. Simple missions with FC3 planes can hit 5-10x. Complex missions with full modules are only smooth at maybe 2x speed. Have you tried switching to F10 map or some other view while time accelerating?
