That's with all planes and with quick missions

[Crash_MX06]

But I removed the mod....and the game works

[NS~mati140]

Dude, POST YOUR LOG.LST FILE HERE

[Gurner]

That's a new one on me!

[Crash_MX06]

I can't because I removed the mod and I play the game, the log displays another mission.

 Feel the Heat, See the tracers! Your in the cockpit as fighter vs fighter combat becomes deadly.  You are in Gurners FX!
Seriously Kick ass mod.  This is a keeper.

Big THANK YOU

Hey Gurner, great mod...can't play IL2 without it...which leads me to my problem. The ground smoke is KILLING my fps when it gets built up, say, around a bombed target. Is this normal? or expected? I realize some fps loss is expected, but I'm dropping down from a solid 60fps to 3fps when the group of ground smoke is in my view. I'm running on a GTX 670, intel i5 2600k with 8gb ram...so I can't imagine it's a hardware issue. I've tried changing out the objects/house folder for different smoke graphics, but the result is the same. I'm not certain what is causing it. Any ideas/solutions?

... try this in your conf.ini, who knows ...? 

Explanation given by Mike Storebror:

"This will limit the number of sprites/objects being rendered simultaneously at a given time and thus solves issues where there are just too many objects (here: explosion effects) to be rendered to fit to your system limits."

Abortedman - It should not be that bad with your system, although I thought the 2600k is an i7, not i5.

I have a 2500k i5 with GTX560 and 8gb ram, and I can destroy a city and still get playable frame rates.

Mick's suggestion is a good one, although personally my clamped sprite value is 0.  Maybe some other problem with your conf ini or your nvidia settings?

[AbortedMan]

Thanks for the quick replies. I was thinking the same thing about my conf.ini...I've copied "maximized" settings from some random website/forum I googled, so that could definitely be it. I haven't done any tinkering yet since I didn't know it wasn't supposed to be this bad. Gurner, would you be a lamb and post your conf.ini [opengl] settings so that I may compare? Perhaps your nvidia settings as well if you have an nvidia card...I'm using maximum AA/AF, which may be causing it as well. Time to start tinkering.

Oh and you're right about the i5 2500k...I'm posting from an iPhone and didnt catch the typo.

Max AA is probably overkill.  Also, I've only tested with max res of 1080p, so if you go higher than that it may have a negative effect

... I think you are right Gurner, I use 8xQ (GTX260) and can't see any prob with jagged lines ...

Sometimes "better" can be the ennemy of "good" as we say in French ... 

Here are 3 very interesting reads about what AA is supposed to do ...
