SuperKungFu Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Hey guys, I've been gone for a really really really long time. I recently found my joystick and trackir and decided to get back into things. I have DCS A-10C and just bought FC3. First, what is the install order for FC3? I read it was: Install original Lock On, then install DCWorld, then FC3, then delete Lock On? But the main reason for this post is the strange lag I'm getting only in the Su-27 cockpit. the other planes fly fine. Even when I lower my settings down, it's still lags. Any ideas what's causing it? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Witchking Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Hey SK... been a long time. Nice to see you back man. You can delete lock on, but I personally left it installed, in case I ever wanted to do a fresh clean DCS install after a major update. The Su cockpit lag issue has been reported. I personally have no issues with it...runs fine, so I never checked fps for it. But, people do say it may probably be due to optimization issues.

SuperKungFu Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Hey good to see a familiar name. Yea getting back to everything is hard. I'm a complete noob now. Anyway, I'm just running this on my laptop, specs: i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz, Win 7 64 bit, 6GB Ram, 1GB GeForce GT 525M It's strange, sometimes when it comes to new games, my laptop doesn't kick in the Graphics card and it just runs on the onboard graphics. How do I go about to select DCS to run it on max performance? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Witchking Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 oh,..thats nvidia optimus. Go to nvidia control panel... 3 program settings...and third tab...u can specify programs that run off integrated or discrete graphics. DCS is assigned by default to run with intel chipset card. You have u change it to high performance GFX card and u should be good to go. :) WHISPR | Intel I7 5930K | Nvidia GTX980 4GB GDDR5 | 16GB DDR4 | Intel 730 series 512GB SSD | Thrustmaster WARTHOG | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR4 pro | |A-10C|BS2 |CA|P-51 MUSTANG|UH-1H HUEY|MI-8 MTV2 |FC3|F5E|M2000C|AJS-37|FW190|BF 109K|Mig21|A-10:SSC,EWC|L-39|NEVADA|
SuperKungFu Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Ok still have the pit issues with the Su-27 but the others seem fine although when I selected DCS in nivida, it shows up as black shark and when a selected the launcher.exe for DCS....it's labeled as World of Warcraft......what?

joey45 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Black shark is I think the default name.. someone should get it changed. Good to see you back in the game. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Pyroflash Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Hey SK... been a long time. Nice to see you back man. You can delete lock on, but I personally left it installed, in case I ever wanted to do a fresh clean DCS install after a major update. Due to the way the new auto updater works, a clean install is no longer necessary. If you run the repair tool, it essentially does the same things, sans all of the reinstalling. Although, just in case, I also have left lomac on my computer in case my DCS drive crashes or something to where I am left with no choice but to reinstall. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
