Optional cockpits/modles for modules?

[Lujunning]

As we all know,there are not many people having a MONSTER pc to run an ah64 or f-14 monster,they need a lot of resources somehow even out of nowadays tech level.A very simple optimization is just to provide a less precise cockpit or model,but it's optional,so that players having various pc can enjoy same fps(maybe).So,is it possible for ED or any other dev team to provide such optional models?

DCS already provides quite a wide gamut of cockpit graphics adjustments: diverse antialiasing, shadows, secondary screens resolution, illumination, etc … I’d rather have the developer spending resources in other sim areas, rather than re-doing all the cockpits models.

maybe he wants readable (usable) 512kbs cockpits...

But I don't think this could solve all problems,just providing a lower scale cockpit is a straight,simple but effetive way.

But do you realize that it duplicates work for the developers?  Everytime they have to update a cockpit item, they would have to do it twice, on both cockpits.

First of all what are your current PC specs?

In case you are not up to date, ED recently put out a beta multi threading update for DCS to make better use of the CPU's processing power.

While that is true and very welcome, I think (although not really clear on this issue) if OP wants lower-res cockpit art, their issues are GPU related, not CPU.

That is true but with the new MT update people are seeing a substantial improvement in FPS in both 2D and VR. Therefore his system might now be able to run DCS just fine at low resolution settings.

Actually, if you have a weak GPU the MT update will most likely not be of benefit, the people that see improvement are those which have powerful GPUs because they are no longer CPU-limited.
