Hello everyone,
Recently I was playing around with my settings and I get great details with relatively high settings for my device.
But this is only when using the clear skies preset, as soon I introduce some clouds the fps drop drastically, what could change besides volumetric cloud setting, shadows?
I would like to practice my low visibility approaches.
Thanks in advance,
Bram
Clouds, TLOD, LOD, and traffic are the top 4 settings that hit your CPU hard.
Definitely turn all traffic OFF, and for approaches try reducing your TLOD and LOD to 105. You don’t need (or want) them much higher when you’re getting closer to the ground.
Also, I keep buildings, trees and grass set to medium.
Thanks for the tips, I’ll try it this afternoon.
Just to add, I think the main thing affecting you is really only the setting on Volumetric Clouds. Did you have it on Ultra or what?
What hardware do you have actually?
I have a laptop with an I7 and RTX2060
Volumetric clouds was on high…
Thanks.
This is from my Win10 laptop. I think Win11 has the same settings options, but my sim computer is down right now. Make sure you add the sim and force it to use your RTX2060. (Leave HAGS off for the sim, I think…)
When I click on ‘Options’ for DCS.
Clouds are not CPU related, those are handled by the GPU.
i mean it seems on course that adding a graphical effect reduces the framerate of the application
