Mission 3 - FPS

I have a similar issue in Mission 3 of the Reflected's p51 campaign. Havent played the Spitfire one yet but its on my rig.

Yepp, that's the first one with heavy flak. You're getting the issue near Le Havre, correct? Please post your Dxdiag here.

]I think so. It occurs as soon as the bombers show up on both the reduced plane version and the regular version.

Any news on this?

Have folks been able to get through this mission recently?

The amount of time required to spawn/ start and fly to the coast to test if it is still a problem puts me off trying until it is addressed. . . .

Phil, someone suggested to turn off the wake turbulence because it does not scale well with big bomber formations. Maybe you could give it a try? I still suspect the flak and the gunners, though...

Thank for the reply.

I am prettty sure I had the problem in the versions before wake turbulence was added. Until it's fixed, or unless I can get a mission with an air-start right before the RV with the bombers, I'm not really prepared to spend the time flying along from Tangmere just to check if it's broken or not.

I tried flying this again today.

FPS has deteriorated substantially, and now comes to a halt well before the flak areas.

Will have to wait until I buy a new PC before I try this again

Oh damn :(

Out of curiosity I tested this mission on my Dell G3 15 laptop, and it ran smoothly. I have no idea what may cause your FPS drop, but I wish you find the solution so that you can progress with the campaign.

I’m having the same issue but I can’t get past mission 1, frames drop to just a few then it’s unplayable.

System specs:

Asus TUF X299 Mark 1 ATX Motherboard

Corsair 64GB (4x16GB) CMU64GX4M4C3200C16R DDR4 3200MHz Red LED

Intel Core i7 7820X Eight Core LGA 2066 3.6 GHz CPU OVERCLOCKED 4.5GHZ

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Windforce Gaming 8GB

Samsung 960 EVO 500 M.2 SSD

I had the problem whenever bombers appeared in wwii missions. Turning off wake turbulence fixed it after a few frustrating days of trying everything I could think of.

Sorry for the late reply Nineline; all fixed I just turned off wake turbulence and it’s running super smooth again :) I’m a %100 VR pilot these days.

Interestingly enough : decent specs (as I have learnt) don’t always translate into good game performance or FPS in VR, sure in 2D with dual cards running I was smashing 120FPS but VR is such a different beast which is the sole reason I haven’t upgraded my video card as I don’t believe it would make any difference at all.

Glad to hear that! :)

SOLVED!

Since upgrading to a new PC, this mission now runs well, and I flew it last night form start to finish without FPS losses.

That's brilliant! Did you turn off wake turbulence too? With that one off, I can run the missions on a laptop.

Hi guy, in first: i love u campaign, thx for this work =)

i reply this topic to confirm a thing: if FPS drop down, disable wake turbulence is crucial

i've an old i7-2700k with 16gb, SSD and 970 gtx msi gaming, my dcs work +60fps with all, but if i turn ON turbulence ... drop to 5 fps in some solo campaign WWII :joystick:

Yes, actually, I will update all my missions so that they enforce wake turbulence off.

Wow, turning off Wake Turbulence makes a huge difference in performance in missions with large bomber formations, such as #5 that became a slideshow. My Ryzen 3900X can actually keep VR frametimes under control now. My performance in gunning bombers is now substantially better too  now that I can get in close without getting tossed
