Other than that v1.01 should be the same as v1.00 if not better. Also check for background programs that may be interfering with DCS. A way to check stutter is to have a plane fly out over the sea, go to F2 view and look straight down, the movement of the water below the plane should be as smooth as silk, unless, another program is interfering. In my case it was a Dockbar that used to interfere with DCS, as really strange problem that took me ages to figure out.

EtherealN Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 sage, have you run an FPS analysis to make sure that you're not suffering from the phenomenon known as confirmation bias? Basically, run identical tests (a few times) on both versions while an application logs your FPS and see if there really are more stutters and so on.

Frazer Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 It is true that Blackshark, no matter patched or not, runs like **** (excuse me) compared with LockOn FC.......and LockOn FC only uses one core :huh:......I really hope that FC 2.0 runs as good as FC 1.12. Another thing, this is OT though, the netcode in BS also seems not as good as in LockOn FC...... But owell, when LockOn came out it was almost impossible to play. And I have to admid, I love ED anyway. :D Forum | Videos | DCS:BS Demo1 / Demo2 | YouTube Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feuerfalke Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Another one with AHCI-disabled complaining about crappy software-programming? If you search this forum, there are numerous threads of people who claim that BS doesn't run really good on their machine. If you follow them, it turns out, most of the time it's either a setup-problem or simply a weak PC. As the second point is ruled out in this example, my guess is on your setup. However, as posted above, we cannot help you if you just keep venting. You could run a DXDiag and post it here, as a good start, check BIOS or hardware-settings of your controller and HDD, wether AHCI is enabled, or even more simple, by mentioning what OS you use at all.

slug88 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) To answer your question, the airframe and ballistics simulation in DCS is far more advanced than the one in FC, so yes it does calculate a lot more, and for that reason alone it's never going to run quite as fast as FC did on any given machine.

Aegis Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Perhaps slightly off-topic, but I seem to get much worse performance when I'm sitting at an airfield. Once I take off and gain some altitude, it's smooth sailing. Why is that? This is with water set to high, by the way. At normal, it's generally always smooth.

CAT_101st Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 sage0030 What would ou AVG FPS be. I have read thrue the whole thread and am wondering what you consider bad performance. With the PC you have you shuld be gitting well over 60FPS If that dosent make you happy this I don't think any thing will. I am ox XP 32bit home running at 3.7 right now and gitting 30-50 FPS and am happy with it. I know with Win7 64bit I get over 60 FPS with out a problem and I have a lesser system than you. As you have noted already DCS has more demanding requirments of the CPU and will never run like FC. It is the price we pay for a better SIM. If you keep in mind as the sim's advance the requirement of the hard wair will as well. look back at when F 4.0 came out. there was hardly a system that culd run it on full settings. but look at it now still alive and kicking with updated programing and we have PC's that can run it with no problem at full setings. In a year or two DCS will be very old school in its graphics as it is behind now. But it works for what they are going for. ED has created a SIM that will last for years. I will most likly always have DCS sim's on my PC for a long time comming. I for 1 do not like LO or FC but that is just me and show's the diffrence in how we all look at the sim's we play.

PoleCat Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Perhaps slightly off-topic, but I seem to get much worse performance when I'm sitting at an airfield. Once I take off and gain some altitude, it's smooth sailing. Why is that? This is with water set to high, by the way. At normal, it's generally always smooth. Water set to high is a bit much. I recommend you set it to normal for best results even on a fast system. The water is rendered beneath all terrain. So there is a considerable FPS cost when it is set to high. The visual difference between water High and water normal is not worth the performace cost. IMHO visib rng should be set to medium or low as well. Both of these settings will help to boost performance with little impact on the visuals. Out http://www.104thphoenix.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I take off and gain some altitude, it's smooth sailing. Why is that? This is with water set to high, by the way. At normal, it's generally always smooth. I guess that has several reasons. One is, that the terrain is loaded in the beginning, which is in most of the cases the reasons for stutters. Accessing the HDD is still a weak point on most systems. It also might have to do something with the angle of view, as from this point, the number of staggered, perhaps overlapping objects is maxed out. As soon as you take off, the situation relaxes. Just ideas, though. @ IP: Have you disabled Catalyst AI? There's also some great posts on this forum, how to set up Crossfire to maximum efficiency. Maybe they are worth a read? I didn't find any other big problem in your DXdiag (though it states it's 32bit on a 64bit system, but that's probably just the wrong .exe started?)

EtherealN Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Are you serious with this? I'd have repped you if I could - you've got too much of a habit in making rep-worthy posts that our anti-rep-spam feature blocks me. :P But yeah, I'm continually amazed at people with no coding experience and limited computer knowledge (sage and I have history ;) ) can make insulting statements with absolute certainty in areas of technology that they don't have any mastery in. On the whole note of crappy (I take that to mean inefficient) programming, I'd ask Sage how come systems that are much weaker in components get so good performance...

StrongHarm Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) The more complex the simulator, the more demanding of a system, and the more prone to holes in logic.
