Reducing FPS hit from weapons

[Xerxes17]

Certain weapons like rocket pods and especially cluster weapons causes my FPS to choke every time. Is there a certain setting that needs to be turned down for this effect to be lessened?

I've found that removing ground, ground1 and ground2 from the medium and high folders in \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Effects\PFX will eliminate the problem. Removing low seems to have little effect.

That helped me and I don't miss the FX, thanks Xerxes17

that removes the animations?

I'd say that it removes some effects from when something like a bomb or an aircraft interacts with the ground. Since by definition we have other effects playing at the same time you won't really miss much. I've noticed less black smoke when rounds are hitting the ground, but it's really not a major thing. Just make a folder within these folders, drag and drop the noted files into it and give it a test by putting a CAS aircraft with some rockets into the editor and giving it a quick fly. That's how I tested it.

IIRC back in the day looking into this, and the problem is just how often that particular animation gets played with gun fire, rockets, cluster bombs.

 

I could live without the animations if it meant I didn't pause.

actually I wish ED can get the gun animation from 1.1.1.1 back to world... world animation looks like a cross between star wars and enemy at the gates... well, to me at least...
