FPS Hit

[geckopow]

I suspect that the drop in FPS i get, during battles is related to aircraft appearing.

Was sitting at the Vianden-Clervaux FB, there was very large air battle going on over Vianden. FPS was dropping from 40-60 down to 17-25. This lasted for a few minutes before restoring. Not all air battles were doing this, it was as if there was a particular plane model was present when this happened...Might be worht investigating if there as an issue with a certain plane type that causes massive performance drop in game?

This is purely a theory btw...

Tough to test...

Best you could do is spawn a plane offline. Get your fps. start the engine and as you taxi use the space bar to drop 50 clones.

Respawn and test your fps. Me? Does nothing really.

Other than that you could try changing your vis limit next time you see this in game.

I can subscribe this notion too.

I had seen FPS hit due to aircraft even when there is only one of them on my game it sometimes hit my fps the moment they pop on the screen sometimes it doesn't seem to trigger. ( For me Allied bombers seem the only or the most often noticeable to hit my fps)

But I believe fps hit are the combination of multiple bugs (memory leaks and bad player draws..)

I can't be sure when this begun to happen but I believe it was on the recent 1.33 but I can't tell for sure if it was pre 1.33 when CRS improve the player aircraft tracking which made them more easy to hit (+realistic).

The aircraft was always moving on my game when this happens and sometimes when also shooting their MGs.

I was there and I got the same FPS hit with the aircraft around, but only some of the time. It seemes like it was some aircraft and not others. The other possibility is that as the air battle moved this way and that it was triggering a lot of AI AAA from the town.
