1_Robert_ Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 My hats off to you guys, I can’t believe how smooth this update is running given all the updated features. As well, it was pretty cool climbing through the clouds only to find moisture on the windscreen. Wasn’t expecting that I tried the G6 and noticed the gun trigger felt different. I have a VKB Gladiator FYI. Was something changed? Thanks again for a great update!! 1 3
Finkeren Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Apart from a significant performance drop due to the increased terrain draw distance, for me it’s pretty much been smooth sailing as well.
MrNoice Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 well it depends on the system... I have still over 100+ FPS on Ultra #150km
Guest deleted@50488 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Butter smooth here too, and looking even more gorgeous!
TWC_Ace Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Unfortunately, after this update i have stutter fiesta both onlne and offline (new rig and everything was butter smooth before). And according to the 3001 feedback topic Im not the only one. Shame. My FPS didnt change a bit, but stutters are crazy no matter the graphics settings....I hope devs will look at it.

Wolf8312 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Yep I concur performance not as smooth things like the hud and maps also seem more laggy and I am getting hang is when the game is loading
Boris_CRO Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 at Kuban i had 35 FPS at some places before - with new update its 12...... TWELVE
CanadaOne Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I'm happy with the performance. Definitely taking some FPS hits in the Kuban mountains, but that just means the sim has room to grow. The visuals are FSX payware quality. Absolutely stunning!
Voidhunger Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Everything is smooth except the career with lot of planes around(probably due to a increased view. No stutters ,only game is slower. Need to test it today and lower the view distance or shadows. Anyway excellent job team! Im sorry fo those who have bad performance after this update.
LLv24_SukkaVR Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I have all settings on maximum, including the new 150km visibility setting and 4K setting @ 1920x1080 and i havent noticed any fps drop, except from the increased number of AI planes in the skies. Right now im escorting bombers in Moscow and its smooth 70-80fps, and during battle with planes everywhere it drops somewhere around ~60. I have almost ancient Xeon 1231v3 3,4Ghz, R9 290, 16gb DDR3 system so im very satisfied how well this runs.
ShamrockOneFive Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 For everyone having a performance problem try something weird that seems to be working for some of us. Turn 4K texture settings to ON.

Some have had success with turning 4K textures On and that got rid of the stutters.

Game is running pretty smooth but have taking a 20 fps hit with update. Also, when I hit enter to start the game it says something like server not found and then I hit enter again and game loads fine. Do you think I should reinstall?
[CPT]Pike*HarryM Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Runs great for me also, like butter and the new view range is amazing.
blitze Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Hmm, Might try the 4K texture setting even though I am running it on 1440p Decided to jump into a Kuban Career flying a P39L from a rear base. Density setting Med, with Moderate difficulty setting. Dropped Distant Landscape Detail setting to 3 from 4 previously. Frames on Ultra and 150km render distance at field was 80 and in the air it was between 90 and 120 pending on what I was doing and alt. A few pics. I might try the $k texture setting as I was finding with OpenTrack head movements where I was doing sweep checks, the fps were stuttering. Note though, Kuban has always been about 20 or so FPS less on my system compared to Stalingrad and Moscow. a couple nice Wintery Stalingrad pics from PWCG where we are off to escort Pe2's. This with Distant Landscape Detail at 4x and frames sitting nicely above 100 and relatively smooth. First flight with the P39 had to be redone as I hadn't familierised myself with the plane in QMB but after repeating it a couple times, (2nd time I closed water rad to 30% and blew the engine so keep it at default 50%). It is turning out to be a nice flyer and 109 G2 and 4 hunter. Keep your speed up and dial in your trim and she's good to go. The missions I am flying in campaign stretch her legs and I am thinking I might need to introduce fuel management to be more comfortable completing the missions. Last one I had to linger at the front line waiting for the Il2's to return and then noticed my fuel was a little low so I leaned her out and dropped rpms as well and just tailed the Il2's on the return. Made it to my field just. Enjoying this update and people need to remember that the new graphics might need to be dialed in as they give a lot and are a leap on the previous version. They also might stress peoples systems who are Over Clocked and bumping up their CPU Voltages to Over Clock. I know that my i7700 HQ likes undervolting not overvolting which leads to stutters and glitching.

blitze Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Those pics and res of 1440p running on a Gigbyte Aero 15X which is a i7700HQ with Max-Q 1070 GPU, 16GB 2400Mhz Ram and 512Gb SSD. Graphics on Ultra except AA is off and done from Nvidia control panel, SSOA is off as well. Vsync is on. Running Display port with micro adapter to a BenQ 144Hz Freesync 27" monitor (hence the higher frames than the laptop screen which is capped at 60). OS is Win 10 x64 Pro Guys with beefier desktop systems should be getting better numbers than I. Framerate counter is on in the pics you can see the numbers I'm pushing on this notebook. Check your system setups including drivers and clocks if you have been running overclocked CPU/RAM/GPU
Mmaruda Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I had some serious stutter issues and fiddling with the detail didn't do much, but the 4K textures fixed it completely and I maxed out the game as well (1080p though). Game runs a solid 60 like before the patch. Visually speaking, the game does look stunning. I am running an i5 6600K (stock clocks), 16 gigs of RAM and a 980, IL-2 is on an SSD too.
blitze Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Not sure of Kuban but last night flying (albeit badly) on Finnish Virtual Pilots Server, with the 4k option ticked, the frames and view panning via Open Track were smooth as. FPS holding between 80 and 100 pending on Alt and type of plane i.e. 109 compared to Ju88 (which seems to drop frames a little compared to single seaters). Flying the Moscow Map both Autumn and Winter I believe (winter is the White one right ) The views especially up high were stunning. As I fly intercontinentally a few times a year and am interested to see the view when ascending or descending, I can say that now, BoS series matches closely the view I would expect from out the window of my flights. A little niggle, can we get snow flakes or ice particles in clouds during Winter instead of water drops and water streamers on the cockpit glass?? Maybe something for down the track.
Voidhunger Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 For me career is unplayble on high details 70km visibility, object details 3x, medium clouds and shadows. Need to try balanced settings today, turn off ssao. Or lowering view distance, clouds and shadows even more
Godspeed Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Im running I5-3570 16gb Ram, SSD, GTX 1050 TI (4GB) at everything Max settings with 1200p( WUXGA ) resolution smoothly. I think some who has some performance issues will be fixed soon. Edited March 16, 2018 by Godspeed

Set AA up in Nvidia control panel. Also look at some of the settings in Nvidia Panel that have been posted on these forums as well, but that is more for Gama issues and such. I have Sharpening on but terrain filters off. Hope this helps. 1

Godspeed Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Just came from work and started playing. Now its not working that well anymore not even close to 60fps. MSI Afterburner shows 26-40fps. I have no idea... Edited March 16, 2018 by Godspeed

Alkaline11 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Has anyone else noticed that the airplanes are really shiny after this recent update? Almost look like they are wet. Is that normal?
216th_Jordan Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I think for campaign what limits your fps is your CPU, less your GPU. Lower the density of ground units and check again.
SJ_Butcher Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 weak CPUs will transform into low FPS, remember that simulation games rely more on CPU calculations that GPU, my game runs all ultra over 120 fps smooth as hell, before it was a stuttering fest because reshade, now after uninstall that injector everything went normal
THERION Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 OK gents, as I already mentioned in another post I don't have any issues in QMB with 16 airplanes buzzing around (Jason suggested this setup). And here are some screenies of my configuration: In my NVIDIA control panel I selected my preference: Performance Then I modified just one setting concerning Vertical sync like highlighted Finally these are my in game settings So, you can see I keep it quite modest, no exaggerating setting. - Testing in QMB 16 planes over burning Stalingrad: runs smooth, no tearing at all. - Started a new career - wow - fantastic, lots of traffic, flare going up! And guess what? No stuttering, no tearing, no hick-ups - nothing, butter smooth with arround 60-61 FPS. - Scripted campaign "Sea dragons" - fantastic too, lots of traffic. Stable 60 FPS, no bloody stuttering. Works like a charm! - Online flying: no matter which server I select (ping ~30-50), how many chaps on - terrible stuttering, tearing. Well, unplayable! So really, I don't know where the problem is. Thanks for any hint. Cheerio My specs (modest, yes I know): I7-4770 Asus Strix 970gtx 4GB 16 GB Ram Glass fibre internet connexion (500MB up/down)

Godspeed Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Maybe i had shadows disabled or something but after i put shadows LOW and rest same as my previous post all works nicely. Lowest FPS was on airfield. I have 391.01 Nvidia Driver and all is defaul on control panel. I would say its around 50fps average on this settings without GPU Overclocks Edited March 16, 2018 by Godspeed
TWC_Ace Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) To update my experience with new patch. Turning ON 4K textures fixed the stutters. But I still dont have super smooth experience on Wing of Liberty server (when its full) on Cuban map as I had before patch on older maps. Though my FPs is locked to 60 and doesnt go lower. Offline with 16 AI planes everything is butter smooth. Is there a chance MP is on its knees with new graphics and features? My res is 1920x1200 I still need to check the best settings now. I will try to turn off fullscreen within game and I will use only nvidias fast sync and will report back. Is there an option to have borderless no fullscreen option with native resolution?
