Fix for some stuttering/low FPS issues (works for me)

[plepew]

Description of low FPS/stuttering I encounter:  On occasion, the game seems to drop frame rates for no obvious reason (e.g., no sudden huge number of enemy AI planes spawning or looking towards a dense scenery area).  It can happen at the end of a quick mission after all the enemy planes are gone and I'm RTB'ing.  In those situations, hitting the time acceleration "]" once and then dropping back to normal time works like a charm.  

 

My machine is a bit on the modest side: i5-4440 @3.1GHZ, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super 4GB VRAM, 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD (use TrackIR - the poor man's VR headset!), Windows 10  64bit.   Most of my settings are in the mid range and I keep frames locked at 50fps.

 

To the credit of 1C dev's, I generally get nice smooth frame rates even in furballs with 25+ AC flying (impresses me).  To be sure if I'm flying a scripted mission with a ridiculous number of things going on at once, my system will take a knee, and this fix doesn't apply in those situations.

 

Hope this helps.
