Rotor Blur causing higher GPU load

[zero2005]

as title says, there seems to be a massive frame load whenever the rotor is in view. IIRC this was a "bug" awhile back, I think on the KA-50? -- at the very least, if this isn't a "bug" and is a "feature", could we make stupid graphics options like this able to be toggled in the specials menu? or have some other way to disable the nonsense?

I use the hind caucus free-flight instant action as my "benchmark" -- I just recently reinstalled DCS. with my current settings, 72hz, quest 3 using virtualdesktop @ godlike, my total GPU load will be 80-85% when rotor is out of view, then it skyrockets to 93-95% whenever the rotor is in view, then and starts dropping frames. Turning off the nav lights/formation lights/blade tip lights helps a slight bit (1-2% GPU load combined), but there's still clearly something going on that's causing the rotor to drain unnecessary resources...

Seems like every time I try to return to this sim, I'm greeted by more and more bugs or "feature" updates that make me want to re-uninstall...

for reference, specs: 4090, 14700k, win11, 64gb ddr5 @ 6800mhz, DCS on 4tb NVMe...
The frame load is roughly the same change when using my Reverb G1 and the Oasis driver.


Please sir, may we have some optimizations?
