APP mode on the PCA and I think you have to have a waypoint set on the runway. I'm not exactly sure.

The Combined Community Codec Pack, more commonly referred to as the CCCP, is a collected archive of codecs (video compression filters) packed for Microsoft Windows, designed originally for the playback of anime fansubs.[2] The CCCP is developed and maintained by members of various fansubbing groups.

Rather new to DCS, is the SU-27 dlc campaign worth the 10 dollarydoos?
Asher Gray
I'm still missing how this is related to God's plane in anyway
Camden Nelson

Ayden Gonzalez
I actually really liked it.
Carter Carter
Ok, but it's a tycoon sim about vehicles, so does it belong or not?
Elijah Torres
From what I read it's the best payware DCS campaign.

Neat, thanks. Guess I know what i'm doing tonight.

is there an easy and obvious way I can upgrade my computer for better DCS performance or is it just >my computer is shit I'm wondering if it would be worth upgrading anything here or if my bottleneck is just the processor and I might as well start fresh

Start fresh, repurpose that PC as a web machine or something.

Follow up question: what stats do you need for 60fps at 1080p in the mig21 in multiplayer?
Daniel Myers
>needing 60fps to absolutely tear ass in MP
Bend your mind into being an absolute air combat deity, and fps will no longer be a concern
Parker Nelson
I don't need 60, but if I am building a new machine, I wanted to use DCS as my reference point.
Ayden Watson
Why would you do that, it would be pretty asinine as DCS is an incredibly unoptimized mess, as far as I know it still runs on a single core in fucking 2016.
Gabriel Gutierrez
>DCS is a difficult game to run well on a system >why would you want to use a poorly optimized and resource intensive game to design a future system FUTURE PROOF U T U R E
P R O O F
It's not that hard to grasp f-a-m, DCS is the crysis of our day
Ayden Thompson
Sims are filled with optimization issues so you're better off with a mid to high end rig, at least. I'd recommend an intel processor because a lot of vidya is meh to bad at handling more than 4 cores.
>I wanted to use DCS as my reference point read the recommended specs and add a bit more of raw power to the mix
Dylan Jones
Are you genuinely retarded? Crysis was a benchmark because 1. it looked good 2. it required not only a beefy CPU but also a lot of graphical power.
DCS is bottlenecked by the CPU first and foremost, then storage devices, and also RAM.
Julian Foster
Oh and for the record Crysis can run with decent FPS even on toasters if you play with potato settings, the same can't be said about DCS.
Easton Diaz
>crysis of our day It could run well. But can eat more when asked to.
DCS eats everything, then shits out 2 FPS.
Julian Price
so what I've gathered from the comments so far is that none of you have 60fps. no need to be salty
Sebastian Cook
what the fuck is CMBS
This is the first time I've heard of it and I googled it and it looks intredasting
Adam Anderson
I DID IT
I BOMBED SOGANLUG WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO LOITER FOR 5 SECONDS.
Grayson Taylor
I can get 60fps in MP with most of the settings turned way low. Old ass Core i7 920, GTX560ti, 12GB of RAM. For whatever reason DCS seems really limited by non-sequential read speeds, adding a cheap SSD made a world of difference in performance.
Jackson Brown
good job buddy
Wyatt Brooks
Looks like we have similar specs. I used to have a GTX560ti and side-graded to my current card. I thought the SSD only helps with nevada---you also saw a boost on the caucuses?
James King
I can actually get 40-60 FPS on max graphics if the situation is right, such when there's few things happening
Now if I'm in a situation where there's a large presence of objects it might dim down to 30-40 range
Angel Gray
>small smoke puff 0 FPS
Elijah Murphy
Also would like to not this is with TrackIR running. The shit in my case include 16GB RAM, X4 965 and a R9 380
Though then you have cases such as this were the game just straight up says "No fuck you enjoy your 15FPS" for the smallest of stuff. Also cases when the game had a memory leak before some patch fixed it and I couldn't play MP/large instant actions without the game freezing.
So basically, don't base a computer off of DCS specs.
Aaron Lewis
Yeah SSD helped a lot, I was having major stuttering problems in multiplayer that are all but gone now. Also download the mod that removes tree shadows, it makes a massive difference.
I'm also running in Windowed fullscreen which eats a few FPS, and using Opentrack which eats up some CPU cycles. But overall this old rig is just fine, but none of my screenshots are ever going to be pretty.
Noah Nguyen
>opentrack you running the camera at it's lowest resolution?
Jeremiah Gray
Are you supposed to see the AoA lines like this or even CCIP lines outside the hud? Is this a glitch or 4th gen fuckary?

With the camera at 640x480 I can run with less software smoothing which makes it feel smoother.

the fagot is actually a super nice plane to fly. I keep coming in way too slow on final and having to dump the throttle on to keep from stalling out. Below 350km/h she bleeds speed like crazy.

John Powell
Waypoint on the runway, APP mode on the PCA, tuned to the ILS freq, on the glideslope and within 10nm are the requirements.
Check out chucks guide.
