For some reason WAW cuts my fps in half.

Totally agree, i have the same problem.For the moment i don't use CUP cause IL2 is unplayable for me. Too much stutters and performance drop. A pity!

Hung in there  , I've segregated planes into 14 different air.ini files which cover years 1936-1955.
Now I am testing larger ini files, currently air.ini covering 1940-1945 doesn't produce any lag from what I see.

For what it's worth;
I noticed that I was getting a regular 'jump' every 4-5 seconds on the Channel map in HSFX.  Both online and offline.  This despite Nvidia GTX 980, 16G RAM, Win 7-64, and i7 2.9ghz.
It was still playable but annoying.  I tweaked and re-tweaked using the NVidia console but that particular map always seemed to be a problem.  Conversely I had no issues at all with the Western Front map and a ton of B-17s.

I think it's just the nature of the beast. 

In the game 7 Days To Die I have a similar problem.  A micro-stutter every few seconds despite having a good rig and optimal graphics setup.  I do not have any issues with games such as Skyrim/Elder Scrolls or Arma3.  I have Benchmark tested with the Heaven benchmark tester software and from that aspect I am definitely good to go.  In short, I cannot put my finger on the problem and a subsequent solution for certain games.

I've learned to live with it.

Crikey it looks like I started something here and that was not my intention. I am merely pointing out a problem with this game whether it be the MOD version or the original. I patched the stock IL-2 one at a time and ran it after each patch and from the 4.12 patch on I noticed stutter problems so it could very well be an official patch that is the cause. 4.12 introduced the widescreen option it may have something to with that who knows? I would have been on here yesterday but the SAS sight was down or whatever

[dsmith71]

Imho you should try HSFX7. With Il-2 1946 you can have an infinite number of installs at the same time on your hd since it doesnt use registry entries.

I am in the process of doing that now. I know I said no more tweaking but I prefer WW2 over WW1 in flight sims and modded IL-2 would be the best if it worked properly.

Chupacabras84 (Q)What is keeping me (dsmith71) from trying the Berlin Map in stock game?

(A) I dont have IL-2 on my PC and have deleted IL-2 with CUP. I am going to start from scratch again and try HSFX 7.0.

As I stated before: Nothing broken, no need to fix anything.
It's all working to specifications.
Attach a 5t trailer to your Ferrari and it won't run 200mph anymore either.

Yes your frame rates are similar to mine which means my PC is not broken but what about the game itself? Il-2 needs playable maps I dont see the point in having maps that cannot be used by the latest PCs. Team Diadolos should be looking at ways to optimise Il-2 for newer computers or a drastic overhaul of the maps available is needed with lower textures or whatever it is that is causing this problem ( I am no techie).

So this is working?

Are you using HSFX? I am about to find this out for myself but I am not entirely sure that it is the Mods. To me it is starting to look like the IL-2 game engine does not work well with newer (and supposedly) faster computers and this problem shows itself over maps packed with detail such as Berlin.

[dsmith71]

I would really like to test the Berlin map in the Standard 4.12.2m game.

Whats keeping you?
....

Thanks for doing all the hard work here. When I get HSFX up and running I will let you know if there is a difference.

The reason some people are confused is that youre looking at two problems and not one.

#1

Berlin has the problem of having too many objects in that map square, which I can fix after I finished my current projects in a few weeks. I fixed Imphal city on cyberolas Burma map and got reported fps increase of ~15 fps in CUP.

#2

CUP has a mod or several mods which impact the game performance. These mods need to be identified and removed from the pack. Since we dont have a CUP filelist.txt to extract files only the author can do this fix. I'd start with checking sound/effects/game engine mods.

Yes thank you!!!! Changes to the maps to improve playability would be an excellent idea. Eye candy is secondary to game performance.
