VGE_Viper Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hey this is Viper from the Virtual Golden Eagles. I just got LOMAC FC2 today, and when i went to test it out in a quick flight the game seemed really laggy. I know i don't have a good cpu for it, but i run LOMAC FC1 perfect on it, and it's smooth. Is there anyway to boost up the FPS or something? If so please replay back thanks. Viper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isoul Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I hope you didn't tried to fly Su-25T with Shkval active... This is a known issue! In general if you experiencing stuttering you should decrease view distance(which makes the game more realistic) by tweaking graphics.cfg. You should describe your problem and your hardware in more detail for us to understand what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGE_Viper Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm running FSX, LOMAC FC1, and FC2 on my laptop. I fly smooth on my laptop with FC1, and FSX. When i get ready to fly on FC2 inside the game it's very laggy to me. It seems like i'm getting 1 FPS. I try to edit the CFG, and it seems like nothing happened. I know this is a new game, so it's going to need more system requirements, but is there someway to make it a little bit frame friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzertard Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Is it this type? I think you got a switch where it says turbo - you may try that, you should get double clock speed - 8 or 12 mhz I think. 2 The mind is like a parachute.

VGE_Viper Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 It seems like when you do a quick flight, then thats laggy in there, but when you make your own game, or join a game it runs alot smoother. Now i have a problem, my whole cockpit it inviable/black, and also is there a way to turn off shadows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzertard Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Viper, I dont mean to come across as grumpy - but did you read any of the previous posts, bud? :) Page 11 of Frazers tweakguide - there's your answer. And maybe if you respond to some of the posts you may get some extra hints that is specific for you ;) ["shadows"] = 2, Shadows are also famous FPS killers. The OFF option is hidden in the game options. For older systems it would be best to put shadows off. For any other system I would strongly recommend to put shadows at Active Planar (1). Cities are the biggest FPS killers and brings every system on its knees, imagine giving all those buildings shadows. 0 = Off 1 = Active Planar (aircraft ground shadow) 2 = All Planar (aircraft ground shadow + building shadow) 3 = Full (aircraft ground shadow + building shadow + "self" shadow on aircraft) Edited April 22, 2010 by Panzertard The mind is like a parachute.

Panzertard Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Viper, I'll answer you here instead of the PM - it's better since someone else might find the answer they look for in a thread like this. 1. Now if you want to edit your files, be sure to use a compatible Editor, like Notepad++. The regular Notepad may break FC2/DCS files. - Download page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/files/ - Look for the npp.5.6.8.Installer.exe 2. Look for the options.lua in the FC2\Blackshark\data\scripts folder (it's explained on p.9 of frazers guide as Ka-50). 3. Make a BACKUP - copy of your file before editing. Always! :) 4. Open the options.lua with Notepad PlusPlus and look for this part: ["graphics"] = { ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "1camera", ["color"] = "32", ["heatBlr"] = 0, ["scenes"] = "medium", ["water"] = 2, ["fullScreen"] = false, ["visibRange"] = "Medium", ["aspect"] = 1.6, ["textures"] = 1, ["shadows"] = 2, ["effects"] = 3, ["width"] = 1680, ["lights"] = 2, ["height"] = 1050, ["civTraffic"] = 0, ["resolution"] = "1680x1050", ["haze"] = 1, Change it to ["shadows"] = 0, And oh, while you're at it - test with Water at 1 or 0. 5. then save the file.

sisifos Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Some users expirience huge fps drops if the mission has clouds.Don't ask me why. Try A-10's first mission (it has clear weather).
