It's still there, in graphics.cfg I think.

Cockpit displays should be set to 512 (that's their real resolution more or less, you know ... )

Well, I'm on a 6970 with my A10C settings still the same as when I was running a 5770. Still stutters like mad, low-teen FPS when facing the coast.

I'm making good progress with my GTX 580 and the settings. All of the variables are going onto an Excel spreadsheet that I will share in a day or so. I do find that MSAA at 4x gives very good cockpit lines, while 16x and 16xQ are also the best choices, but I want to squeeze the best from the other settings, too, so I'll stay on 4x for more testing.

Thanks GG- I won't respond to each point but suffice to say I heard what you're saying and have learned from it. Just going to take more practice in some cases.

I've had some success with teamviewer and was able to load the new roadkill mission that WC has made up to try and help deal with the adverse graphics performance. I also test ran a dragon mission yesterday as well- not sure if anyone had a chance to go in and try it out... was just a weapons test / practice flight. WC was in there but said he had some trouble with the esc key- not sure if that was fixed or not? Still working on those details.

Anyone else got some flying experiences to share? I know it's not very late but this is a great place to chat about your last mission / near miss / successful (crash) landing...

This is what I'm doing to optimize my graphics.


--- edit --- I changed the file and the new rev has a diff link ---
You can d/l this if you want...




The tests were all done using the Free Flight - Air Start mission. That provided a consistent scenario, vs. a Road Kill.

I have a few more settings to try out tomorrow. I'm running an EVGA GTX 580 -AR 1920 x 1200, 30", 59Hz, Dell 3008 WFP.

I like it. Funky. I'm doin' it.

Keep it up Wrecking, I am quite interested in the results!

What are you using to get FPS? Is it an ingame command or a program such as fraps?

RCntrl-Pause and Fraps - they do agree.

Smoke is a heavy, heavy hitter. Makes me wonder if the smokestacks / chimneys are just as bad or just a contributor. I did see that app that cuts down on that effect- the white smoke- but didnt see one that limits the smoke release to prevent overload. Seems ridiculous that I can do everything I need at about 60fps and then as soon as I kill a few vehicles my fps drops to 20.
