Re WWII Assets pack and todays update

Recommended Posts

Guys, every time I start a mission with bomber formations, I realize that the FPS drops dramatically, especially when the bombers drop bombs, that slows down the DCS. Does that happen to you as well?

 

I'm impressed with the new AAA and the defensive capabilities of the bomber formation, the Bf-109s and the FW-190s with this upgrade, can barely get close to the B-17s.

Things like explosions are still using old effects, its possible they just arent optimized well enough for the current engine, I hope it will improve with new effects.

Yes, the explosions should not be optimized yet.

 

But do you also have problems with lag when viewing or just approaching bomber formations?

 

Hmmm, I dont think I noticed anything with them just flying in formation, how many bombers are you trying to view?

I usually use 20 to 28 bombers.

In normal missions where there are no bombers, I have about 60/65 fps, only on Caen and Carentan that I dropped to about 50 fps.

 

But in the escort missions of the bombers, I have some drops for 38 fps, when they launch the bombs (when they only launch, but have not yet hit the ground) the game gives a lot of lag (5 fps).

When I shoot the guns of the fighters, I also have fps drops with around 10/15 fps.

Is DCS on a SSD drive?

No, it's in normal HD. My SSD has only 128Gb, ​​and the 2.1 has 76.5Gb (quite small :lol:), lacking space.

Yeah, I know an SSD really helps, but that said, Normandy is still being optimized as well, including these new assets being added.

I understand. I will buy an SSD and see if performance improves. Normandy and Assets Pack are getting very good, after correcting these performance issues and adding more units and functions, the map will look perfect.

 

Thanks for the help, my friend. :thumbup:

I hope the new Normandy upgrades will help as I have never been able to fly without

DCS (Not responding) crashing. Nevada has no problems.

 

I would appreciate knowing if I should be able to use mission editor or something

and get to use a tank in WWII Assets Pack ?

 

I did get to try and catch up with a ton of bombers in My Dora when I

downloaded a mission from the Users download area and it was

awesome before it crashed !!!

The Assets Pack allows you to use these things (armor, bombers. ships, etc..) to populate a mission or fly in any mission that contains them. It doesn't allow you to operate and fight with them though. For that you need Combined Arms Module.

Using the assets is limited. For what I've tried I've only been in the Panther? Panzer? Forget which one but couldnt change seats. Tried the Shermans and the game crashes. WIP. The 40mm Bofors works too with CA

 

Based on what has been posted by Sith, ED intends to make these units available in CA but that functionality will be part of a future update. It is an Alpha release, at this time, so the lack of certain features should be expected.

When will the B-17s get bombs? They're currently unavailable when I click on one and look in the mission editor. I want to see airfields get blown up!

Will we be getting a proper night fighter to go with that Lancaster? Either working radar on the 262 to make a B version, or a Me 410 or 110 G? Not much point to a night bomber without a night fighter to defend against it.

You need to first make a new loadout and add the bombs and you also need to set up an advanced waypoint action to carpet-bomb.

Lancasters were regularly used in daylight during the Normandy landings and after. Johnny Johnson in his book Wing Leader recalls as part of the softening up of German positions in and around Caen that during a daylight escort mission he personally observed a Lancaster breaking away from the main stream and strafing a german vehicle column!
