Oops, keying error! Not a bad handle though. Maybe worth epping!!

There is this thing you've probably heard of called Texas BBQ. I'm not too sure about Ohio BBQ!

Good evening all. Just wanted to report in with some feedback on 1.5. I have to say, I am blown away. I have dialed in my settings quite nicely and I am noticing significantly smoother FPS across the sim and most importantly, the near elimination of pauses, hiccups, and stutters. I finally had to admit to myself that my 745GTX isn't the 1070 Hellshade is rocking in his case, and kicked my AA back to 4x from 8 (why does 8x have to be so pretty!? ). Once I did that, even my summer 1918 campaign with US 148 Squadron is running smoother. I *may* have to tick air activity down to light, but the fact that normal is even an option shows you how much this mod has unloaded the CPU and created a much more balanced running scheme for the sim. My hats off to everyone involved, I owe all of you a pint! Thank you again!

Cheers!

Hi Cap'n

I just want to acknowledge your comments on behalf of all involved in the production of this mod. Glad it is enhancing your experience.
It is good to hear!

Best Regards

with this mod I was able to "UP" the air activity a notch

Glad to hear it. Which version are you using, lederhosen?

Just found this... working for me

1.5 is indeed a fine piece of work. Thank you again to everyone who contributed! On my system, which I would classify as medium, I actually find that the high end mod suits me better. Weirdly, with the medium mod I actually saw a blue triangle on one flight! That never happens with the high end mod and there's less noticeable landscape popping than with the medium mod. I have also found a combo of Nvidia settings that lets me turn off VSync without tearing (including the AA tweak that Hellshade found) and I now have super fluidity, with only occasional minimal stuttering when I look upward (which I don't do that much). I have actually turned air activity down a notch and WOFF is now running far better than ROF ever did on my system and looks 100 times prettier. There are a lot of things to tweak and balance now but it's been fun dialing it in. What an amazing Sim and what a great community!

Still when I’m on the ground I do see them, using the 1.5 medium or for strong systems.
I must admit I use Vsync off and do play Woff in windowed mode.

errrr the from 13 may

High end or medium mod?

medium

Where can I download the mod?

Thanks

Go to the mods section/Terrain and it's on the left side.

Thanks Panama Red!

I am very outdated of the latest WOFF changes. This is the only must have mod to start over? I mean mods for the game and performance.

There are a lot of good mods, but this one gets rid of the dreaded blue triangles and increases your FPS to boot (two for one).

I'm back playing WOFF with this new mod. I'm having a blast again.

I have stutters with a good CPU and videocard. I need to tune better my config.

Do you guys limit your FPS at 60 with NVIDIA Inspector or Control Panel? How you set your Vsync ingame for an 60hz monitor?

Folks;

I have been absent from the forum for a couple of days because I have been unable to access my gaming platform, but have been following all the threads regarding these mods and the inherent stuttering issues, some of which seem to be the result of high air and ground activity in 1918.

I just flew a mission in March 1918 after having revised my settings in WOFF and on my NVidia Control Panel. I have to report major success in reducing the stutters to almost non existent. I still get some micro stutters when panning my TrackIR but they are almost unnoticeable.

Here are my revised WOFF and NVidia settings. I feel that the major contributor is reducing air activity to very light in the 1918 time frame. Hope this post is helpful. I still need to run more test to prove this out. I'm using the blue triangle high end mod,

Looks good, Robert.

My only suggestion is to change Triple Buffering from "Off" to "On." Nvidia control panel recommends leaving it on when vSync is enabled. Of course, your mileage may vary.

Bob;

Here is an extract related to VSync and Triple Buffering. It advocates Triple Buffering only when VSync is turned off, that is why I have Triple Buffering off. Above, you suggest the opposite, so I will do more research.

Exract:

"Triple buffering gives you all the benefits of double buffering with no vsync enabled in addition to all the benefits of enabling vsync. We get smooth full frames with no tearing. These frames are swapped to the front buffer only on refresh, but they have just as little input lag as double buffering with no vsync at the start of output to the monitor. Even though "performance" doesn't always get reported right with triple buffering, the graphics hardware is working just as hard as it does with double buffering and no vsync and the end user gets all the benefit with out the potential downside."
