159th_Falcon Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Ok, something is fishy here. Was playing an mission the other night whit heavy rain, thunderstorms, wind it was all in there. (dynamic weather) Normally, i get around 27 to 30 fps capped in this mission. Whit this weather it didn't go above 11 fps, 9 showing in the attached screenshot. Still, the CPU highest core load didn't go above 30% and the GPU load didn't get past 50% orso. Any ideas? Also see attached screenshot. System Specs; W8 64 Hasswel 4770 16 GB Kingston HyperX Anniversary RAM (cause i liked the silver color:D) AMD Saphire 6950 2GB flex edition GPU Samsung 128GB Pro SSD (840 serie) for windows Samsung 256GB Evo SSD (840 serie) for games System was first assembled on 21-sep-2013.

159th_Falcon Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Guess, you didn't read my post. Point is not the bad performance, point is that my system is NOT being bogged down in any way, shape or form. There's plenty resources left, just not being used. (and no, i don't mean the remaining 2 idle cores, i mean just the one running at 30% load) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] The keeper of all mathematical knowledge and the oracle of flight modeling.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TZeer Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I have noticed the same thing. Dynamic weather (clouds,rain,fog++) really makes stuff go into a slideshow. Funny thing is when you get past the clouds and break through on the top, the FPS goes up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtaliaA1 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 and on which pcie slot VGA installed? I would be interested in knowing how this could affect performance? Hardware is interesting to me.

Erforce Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 That's not new ;). Maybe worse with 1.2.6 (idk), but i cryed at least a year ago about dynamic weather. post 12: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=90471&highlight=dynamic+weather&page=2 I had severe issues with my xeons back in time, and as it wasn't the worse hardware, i told myself to never build a dynamic weather mission. Even with a few units. :cry: for a Ka-50, it attract crazy shkval and Trimmer issues. (the trim button can't stay pushed) i didn't mess anymore with the dynamic weather, even with my i7.

ENO Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I wish we could get some feedback on this issue. I've been excited to implement dynamic weather and have seen some REALLY neat effects... however guys on the server are constantly telling me no matter how similar I make the systems (2 in later missions... more in earlier ones downloaded from the dynamic weather explanation thread) their FPS are crushed. This is coming from people with all walks of hardware... newer... older... (evidently twin Titans as well as mentioned above... yeeesh.) Anyway... so I guess the final stance as far as we can tell right now is that DW is broken and not worth implementing in any way? And I'm not talking SP... strictly wanting to know for MP.

Irregular programming Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Is this true for newer tech. or something from the beginning of PCIe? No, it's true for many motherboards. They often share the PCI–e bus between slots. I am not sure running in 8x mode would actually affect much n terms of performance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
104th_Maverick Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Anyway... so I guess the final stance as far as we can tell right now is that DW is broken and not worth implementing in any way? I would agree with you 100%. I do not use it in any of the MP missions I create specifically for the FPS reasons you mentioned above. I stick with the standard weather until DW works properly. Hopefully it will be fixed...'one day' [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 104th Phoenix Wing Commander / Total Poser / Elitist / Hero / Chad www.104thPhoenix.com www.facebook.com/104thPhoenix My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENO Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Which is a shame because seriously... once I tucked into it a bit I was AMAZED at the potential. It really, really added a whole new level of difficulty to the missions- even with really basic implementation of a couple of systems acting on one another. I was always amazed at how I could leave sunny Batumi and by the time I was flying past Kobuleti I start seeing the clouds build up. When I got to Gudauta it was an all out snowstorm... Wonder if it's being given ANY priority at all? "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret.

msalama Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I don't think dynamic weather itself is at fault here. Put in 10/10 static cloud cover and you'll see the exact same stutters etc. than you would if it was generated dynamically. Or that's my experience anyway The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rassy7 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Or that's my experience anyway Same here. Any weather bogs me down, no matter how it's generated.

ENO Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I don't get complaints from anyone until it's dynamic weather related... no matter how much overcast I put up there. Rain did create some problems for some folks- especially the chopper guys. I generally stay away from it because if you choose rain... it's not "rain here or there" it's rain across the entire virtual universe. So in exchange I do low clouds with 8-9 density- but now that I think about it I don't think I've ever done 10 level. Hmmmm.

Wrecking Crew Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Riders ot Storm may be at 10 -- it's a regular weather mission. It may be at 9, but with those highest settings you get your lightening bolts and thunder, yes sir.
