VISTA tweaks?

Greetings and congrats for the great sim..

Level of detail is amaizing.

Though I run a high end machine with latest drivers, still when departing and arriving home airfields near major town I get FPS drop down to 8-10 which makes flying and landing in particular real pain (Compared with flying over mountains with FPS 30-40).

Any ideas regarding some system tweaks that can improve the game running.

Besides XP ;)

All depends on your need and what do you want to accomplish....

lolz @ xp but let the cores be free.

This would be the biggest boost of them all assuming you are running dual cores or more.. alt/tab out once in mission, select the dcs.exe process, right click it and set the affinity to all cores. Have seen up to double FPS increases. It has to be done every time btw and only once the mission has started.

Or you can find out in the following thread how it can be done each time automatically..

If you are only running xp tho you can only dream of the massive fps increases :music_whistling::lol::lol::lol:

If you have running XP, you have that fps without tweaking anything :megalol:

Agreed, best way to increase FPS is upgrading to XP...

i gained avarage +15fps ;)

Other than that, you pretty much have to close down applications to free resources... turn down them eyecandy, as much as possible.. upgrade hardware :b
