Arnaud Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hi all, I was pretty sure to find many posts on the issue before investigating but none to be found. When TGP and Mavericks are ON I experience quite a bad frame drop. Am I the only one ? Has this issue already been addressed ? Is there a way to fix this somehow ? Arnaud.

Emmy Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 At what resolution are you running your MFCDs?

Bagpipe Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Most likely the same issue as the black exhaust trails causing frame drops when zoomed in close. I believe it has something to do with rendering so many particles. With regard to the exhaust trails, you can edit a settings file to reduce the particle count and reduce the stutters/frame drops but it breaks IC so not alot of use for most :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglecash867 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 You're definitely not the only one who is experiencing that. Lowering the resolution of the cockpit displays to 256 helps quite a bit, but you'll still have pretty significant FPS loss when in areas that are dense with ground objects like buildings. The only way I have found so far to work around that is to just have only one MFCD displaying video until you reach your target area. You can usually have just the TGP displaying without any significant FPS loss, and if your targets are outside the urban areas, you should be fine if you wait to display the MAV video on the other MFCD until you reach your IP.

eaglecash867 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I should probably qualify my previous post by saying that I'm having the issue in VR, not in 2D. Not sure if the OP meant VR or 2D.

dukovac Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Is there a way to fix this somehow ? Arnaud. PS : Running a 1080Ti Only "fix" that works for me is to turn off MSAA and SSAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnaud Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Thank you all for your answers. - The display resolution for my MFCD is 1024 (but no frame drop in the FA-18C with TGP + Mav displayed for example). - I'm not flying VR, only 2D. - My Rig is pretty descent but not high end. But my 1080 ti is doing fine with most of the planes/terrains (little bit harder on the Syria map though). - SSAA is already OFF but MSAA is x4 (do not want to turn it off only for the sake of A-10C II). I'm "glad" to see that am not the only one, probably gonna work it around like eaglecash867 suggested. I will try to post a video on YT to show the problem even though everyone is already seeing what I mean. Is this issue will be addressed in further updates or it is what it is and will not change in the future ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziptie Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Running VR, PC specs below (and my graphics card is very much sub standard for what I am running). I do not notice any FPS drop when using the Maverick and the TGP at the same time in the A10C II (really dislike we need to clarify the II now). Don't have a quick screen shot of my in game settings, but I know the first two settings are on high (textures), visible range is high, shadows are medium, heat blur is low, in cockpit screen res is 1024, terrain shadows are default, preload radius is maxed, along with the slider just above it (tree visibility?). Not sure what else I forgot. Oddly enough, my performance went up when I increased the textures from med and low to high and high, along with further performance improvements when changing the shadows from low to medium and terrain shadows from flat to default. Hadn't quite wrapped my head around why, but another person mentioned I might have discovered where a hardware bottleneck was by doing that - either way I won't be adjusting those settings from their present state. Hope something in there helped.

mastersetter Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 ^ The forum turns off signatures by default, you need to turn them on in settings, at least i had to when it was changed.. i5-7600K @ 4.8 | 32GB | 1080 | Rift S | TM MFD & WH HOTAS-10mm ext + TFRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
