bilbosmeggins Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hi all. Just eyeing up the Persian Gulf scenery in the sale. Just wondered if it’s a frame-rate killer or not? Currently, I only have the free Caucasus map, so that is my yardstick. If the PG is less efficient than that then I shall probably leave it, as I’m right on the edge of acceptable performance as it is. Any thoughts?

sirrah Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Hi all. Just eyeing up the Persian Gulf scenery in the sale. Just wondered if it’s a frame-rate killer or not? Currently, I only have the free Caucasus map, so that is my yardstick. If the PG is less efficient than that then I shall probably leave it, as I’m right on the edge of acceptable performance as it is. Any thoughts? It obviously depends on where you're flying (flying low over Tbilisi on Caucasus is more demanding then flying over small towns in the PG). I think overall, the Dubai and Abu Dhabi area are a bit more demanding than cities in Caucasus, which is easily explainable due to the high amount of objects that need rendering in those two large city areas. If I fly around in an empty mission, I personally don't notice any difference between Caucasus and PG to be honest. It's the amount of AI and mission complexity, that creates the real serious impact.

bilbosmeggins Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Thanks both. Probably worth giving it a try then. My system is mid-range..... i7 6700k, 16gb, GTX1080ti.

Thanks. I had contemplated doubling my memory to 32gb, as I think it would help my cause quite a bit. But, with 3080’s imminent, plus Zen 3, I’m hoping to buy a whole new system as soon as possible.

bilbosmeggins Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 I took the plunge and bought it. I don’t know if it’s the placebo effect, but it does seem kinder to my system than the Caucasus region. I flew over one of the main cities (Abu Dhabi?), and there didn’t appear to be any additional load on my pc. So very pleased from a performance point of view. Only downer is that, apart from the F16’s one mission, none of my preferred modules have a single thing to do on there. So it’s aimless flying, or quick-gen missions. I’ll have to have a scout about and see if there are any missions I can download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m struggling enough with learning the planes and choppers.

I’ll have a look. Modules owned are F16, A10C, Ka50, P51, F5E, Huey, and all FC3 planes. However, I haven’t learned the tricky ones yet (F16, Ka50, A10C). So I need fairly simple missions/campaigns I guess. Just anything to get some use out of the new map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluminum Donkey Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hi all. Just eyeing up the Persian Gulf scenery in the sale. Just wondered if it’s a frame-rate killer or not? Currently, I only have the free Caucasus map, so that is my yardstick. If the PG is less efficient than that then I shall probably leave it, as I’m right on the edge of acceptable performance as it is. Any thoughts? It's very good. Granted, most of the map doesn't have anything in it, kind of like NTTR, but the built-up areas are spectacular. I often get better performance in the Gulf than in Caucasus. I'm not one of those 5.5 GHz i9-9900K guys with 64GB and a handful of 2080 Ti's, but I have a decent rig. It's DCS World--you need a hefty computer. If you're happy with the performance in Caucasus, you'll probably like the Gulf.

It certainly seems to be at least as efficient as Caucasus, but I believe it is a tad smoother. Very pleased with it. And the lighting seems way better.

bilbosmeggins Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 I’m an idiot! Watched a YouTube video about the Persian Gulf map, and the guy pulled up quite a few missions for the various modules. Many more than I was able to find. So I fired up the PC, expecting I had a corrupt folder or something, and lo and behold, there was quite a few missions waiting for me. Absolutely no idea why they didn’t display yesterday. Anyway, I have quite a few things to be cracking on with now. Started off with an air-to-air refuelling mission, with the F16. It was my first attempt, but somehow don’t think I’ll be welcome to try again, seeing as I slammed into the tanker from beneath, and we both burst into flames. I must admit, it was quite a release after all of the tension created by trying to get into position. I positively laughed out loud when I saw two parachutes open. I know that’s not quite in the spirit of things, but hey-ho :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
