About the frame rate of the campaign

[Kiseki_Yu]

The fps for tasks M1 and M2 are fine, but the fps for M3 and M4 are very low (around 40fps even in the sky), while M5 has returned to normal.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

The issue seems to have nothing to do with the setting of the graphics options. Even when I set the settings to the lowest, the fps is still only about 40.

There are some people here in the same situation:

Hey! No idea, I didn't notice any hiccups there, nor did any of the testers. Those things are very much based on lots of factors, there aren't more assets or AI units in these missions than in most of the others (definitely less than in M02 or M05) so no idea what could be causing this...

I have the same issue.  Other missions so far seem to be ok, but 3 and 4 bog down even when I change the video settings to the Low preset.  With the video settings set to the Low preset I am only getting like 30-40fps on mission 3 when I look around, and about 60fps if my head is still.  I sometimes will even have it repeatedly freeze for a second or 2 during sections of the mission. 

On mission 2 I get 80-110fps with the video settings nearly maxed out.  When I tried to fly the mission with video settings that I normally run I found it to be unplayable but really even with the settings set to the low preset settings there is only a slight improvement.

The images I attached show a mission from the Red Flag campaign with my video settings nearly maxed and while I was looking around getting 109fps.  The 2nd picture is from Gamblers mission 3 with the video settings set to the Low preset and my TrackIR paused and I am only getting 58fps.

I tried doing a full repair on my DCS install thinking I maybe had a corrupted file and I also tried disabling all Mods (which was only the A-4 mod at the time).  There was no change to the mission performance.

That is interesting. AFAIK there is nothing different there than all the other missions and I never had any issues.. anyone else having similar problems?

Uninstall or disable the TacView and LotATC. Both mods enumerate game objects every frame which os killer on move populated missions.

If you have other mods similar in nature (like FF telemetry collected by onframe callbacks) disable those as well or ask authors to fix their stuff (pun intended Winwing).

I'm having the same issue.  Just bought the campaign and had perfectly reasonable frame rates in Missions 1 and 2 and completely unplayable <10 fps in Mission 3.  Sounds like I may have to skip a couple of the missions, which is a shame.
