Love the new patch!

Google disable aero game performance.. over 1mil hits. It's not DCS specific, but rather industry common theory.

I'm not questioning the theory, I did the before/after test and got 0 FPS gain. You say you got 10-15, wondering what someone else is doing.

It will be system dependent. Most tweaks have more effect on resource deficient systems. If you have the horsepower to run Aero full out then you may not see an increase in performance by switching it off. The above post stated that it should be turned on. For some end users that don't have top of the line hardware, it could cause a significant decrease in any game's performance to activate Windows Aero. For instance, I can compress a video and run multiple games simultaneously, but I wouldn't advise others do it.

 

Just a cautionary statement.

Oh ya!?!?!?! well MY Computer can, ... ummm... well, it... can.... ****ing play call of duty and make belgian waffles in the cloud!

Pass the syrup.

 

Fair skies :)

I haven't noticed any stutter except from the usual half sec on the very start once I'm in the cockpit. Complete smoothness throughout the entire flight. Defragging and restarting with scandisc HDD must have helped too. Fps around 35-75. Excellent patch.. looking forward for the next one.

 

Edit: Forgot to mention that Loading times are the same for me. Didn't notice any difference.

Same results as with the most users - game runs smoother! Including TrackIr. Loading times are longer in a way that you notice it but doesn't really bother - especially when spending 1-2 hours in the cockpit for one mission.

 

But I do get small freezes too every now and then. Cant say whether they were there before the patch, though or not. In quick mission before each new objective loads there was a slight pause atleast.

 

Great job anyway! Not worried about random crashes anymore. *fingers crossed*

[Capnsully]

Well done DCS, noticeably smoother, even the night flights with my Core i7 920/ GTX 275 combo are very smooth! I've even been able to max the visibility now and yes, trackir runs very smooth now. Great!

It seems that the sim has been optimized to run a lot better around those i7 920/GTX 275-280-295 combos. I have not seen any users with this combo AFAIK having any real problems yet. Knock on wood :music_whistling:

 

Is this due to that most of the testers are around those rig configs??

[sungsam]

The 1.1.0.7 left me really astonished. I just wander what we expecting to see on 1.1.0.8. (No need to be answered!)

 

ED That was splendid for one patch.

You confuse me:

 

So you say turning off aero is a tweak that only works for low end pc's.

 

But then you say on your pc, where you can "run multiple games simultaneously, while compressing a video" you get 10-15 fps gain.

 

Let me tell you what I think:

I think this is BS.

If your PC would gain FPS from turning Aero off, then is really not a system to play DCS sims from the beginning on.

And Hassata, talked about the interaction with Helios, witch is something completely different.

 

Anyway back to topic: The new patch is really great work. And also gives measurable FPS gains!

[Zorg_DK]

Impressive patch ED, what a huge fix list. So far I've had no CTD's in SP. The long load time is ok with me, it gives me time to get a cub of coffee. :) And fps is great even in missions with massive number of units.

 

Also nice getting rid of mouse cursor in F1 and F2 view.

 

Well done!

Can you be a little less condescending please?!?

It's the way it is. You want to hear it with flowers?

[StrongHarm]

asparagin,

 

Intelligent discussion is always welcome, but I don't have time to argue with you or substantiate each statement I make when trying to help. Give the forum rules another read and continue to enjoy being part of this community. If you want to argue with someone on the matter of Windows Aero, I'm sure Linda Yan of Microsoft would welcome you to the technet forums:

 

Linda:

Some games require a massive amount of memory and resources to run which takes too many resources to keep up Aero.

 

This line of discussion is complete. The topic is "Love the new patch!"... carry on.

Now I have feeling that I'm flying fast when flying low. Before I had feeling, that ground moved too slow. Only tested few minutes tho. There are loooong loading times, but if that means faster game flow, that's OK with me.

[Kenan]

^^You're not flying fast. It's A10 being so ugly, Earth is running away from it.

It's A10 being so ugly, Earth is running away from it.

 

That means when an KA 50 is flying towards an A10c head to head, earth stops spinning and the A10c is falling straight out of the sky.

 

Now we know how to do it in mp when the comppatch is released :D

[eldiablo155]

Even if loading time is a bit longer than it was , I'm really enjoying it .

;)

[MadTommy]

Patch seems to have decreased the performance for me... but this is a price i'm happy to pay for the MP datalink and reduced crashes.

 

Its odd as others seem to be getting better performance.. some tweaking is needed on my side.

DCS Team..

 

The patch is absolutely $!#!% brilliant... well done:clap_2:

[Bodo]

Loading times aren't too different for me but the patch has definitely enhanced performance. Smoother, more consistent FPS and on average I'd say around 10-20 more.

 

Very well done and can't wait for the next patch, and the next, and the next....,

 

Keep up the good work all those behind the testing and coding and I hope you're all proud of yourselves. It's quite simply a lovely experience to enjoy even a casual fly around whilst the sun is rising (which is about all I can do as I've been delaying playing due to how complex it is and wanting patches like this to come out).

 

Gonna commit some time to this now. Forums search function here I come.

 

Thanks again, keep up the good work!
