w.i.p CH-47 Performance Issues

[ThorBrasil]

I was doing a mission in Marianas and in the editor after I put the CH-47 in the mission it started to crash all DCS. The CPU oscillates between maximum and minimum usage and keeps giving memory errors.

Trialled it, surprisingly liked it (my first heli), but definitely not buying it until...

Have you guys tried the new cockpit texture options in the special options category?

I am not sure when they put those options in, but they work great. I had a pretty big custom mission with a lot of units running 4k and recording at the same time and had an acceptable frame rate. I could not even play 4k and record a solo flight before.

FYI, this was with the cockpit textures on high and the cargo bay on medium.

I am not sure why anyone would need all that fidelity in the cargo bay anyway, but I guess the option is there when we have 128gb graphics cards?

I have installed this mod CH-47F Reduced Cockpit Textures [2K, no MipMaps] and I am now enjoying 140 fps with an excellent quality. I was not happy with the "medium" quality textures but with this mod the quality is awesome and the performance excellent.

I know we all hope top have a better solution without having to use mods but at least on the meantime, this helps a lot.

I always take off after 3 minutes when I respawn in CH47 because it's loading textures during that time. I have SSD.

High resolution textures aren't always better

Is the module acceptable in VR for anyone ? comparisons would be nice.

Thx.

Yes it is, as long as you select the medium cockpit textures in the special options.
On the other hand I'd recommend not using AI CH-47s in your missions as there don't seem to be any LoD models available: getting close to an AI CH-47 tanks the framerate.
