Enhanced FPS command Mod and Logging tool 2
« on: January 10, 2017, 12:38:07 PM »

Dear Storebror,
since I am struggling with my fps, i would like to ask some questions about this subject already treated in a previous thread.
First of all I have read but not understood the readme.
1) must LOG=1 in order to get the results?
2) must the complete folder be installed in the WAW2 folder or just the line with the figures?
3) where can I find the recorded values? In the logtext? What does mean recent value? In BAT WAW2 there is already a rcu file with contents the role of which I don't understand.
4) how can I get a splendid graph like shown in the old thread?
5) Is the mod valid for BAT WAW2? I did a test but I lost some commands so I remind cautious.
6) How far are you with the improved version giving directly a graph ?
Sorry to disturb you with an old topic.
Best regards.
Tart
Give me the tool I will finish the job.

Dear Storebror, dear Monty,
I would like to explain a little more my demand.
On my hard disk I had 9 versions of Il2 : SAS with the buttons , DBW, HSFX, 4.13, VP Media, CUP modded by myself, CUP PUR partially modded by myself, CUP PUR PUR not modded as reference and BAT, just to show that I am a good client. I would like to stay with BAT. I think that I can erase SAS, DBW, HSFX, CUP PUR and CUP PUR PUR.
I like to rumage among in M4T looking for campaigns even old ones and install them in my game. I frequently meet problems of pink plane or plane exploding on the runway. I know it comes mainly from the loadout and on the logtext, not always easy to read,  I have to search at the beginning of the serie of « at » after the sentence telling me what loadout is not valid for a given aircraft. I can also use FMB and check for each aircraft the loadout and correct the mission with the help of the weapons folder. I have always a great pleasure when finally the mission runs. So for this type of trouble I have a tool.
I also encounter a problem with fps. It is very frustrating in the middle of a mission to get the image suddenly freezing one or two seconds, it is just like a false note in a concerto, or worse, experiencing a very low fps in a combat flight due to the sudden great amount of aircrafts in the air, it is a disaster. I assume that the builder of the mission tested his work before editing. Either he neglected the poor fps or he had other settings or game or pc or I don't know what giving him acceptable fps .
Somewhere Monty said that in case of too many aircrafts the computer is not able to treat all the datas. Somewhere it is said that one has to change the settings e.g. effects=1 instead of effects=2 or to use just one core of the pc.
I tried to find a tool in order to make comparisons. I found that the mission « Black Death » has been used as basis and on the thread of Storebror I also found some interesting graphs allowing comparisons but the tool seems to be a little complicated for  an amateur like me, but I am ready to learn.
Information on crashes are available in a clear text of SAS dated july 2009: ctd at 5%, ctd at 60%, ctd at 70% with remedies, I still have it. I don't remember if there is a text in case of pink plane or plane crashing on the runway but remedies are given among the threads. I didn't find a coherent text on sudden low fps or frame freezing. Didn't I look carefully enough ?
Sorry to bore you with that stuff.
Best regards

Hello Tartenmuche,

delete what ever you want but never erase the good old 4.10 & DBW!  ;)

DBW is legend!  ;D

Effects=1 is right for older computers

Best regards, Gerhard  :)

Dear Bomberkiller,
in your opinion is my computer: CPU Intel Core Duo E8400 3 GHz, GPU Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti, RAM 2x2 GB DDR2 1066 mHz an old one?
Should it be able to handle BAT?
Best regards.

It's old, yes, but any PC being able to handle DBW and/or CUP is able to handle BAT too.

Yes, indeed! Variants will come and go, but DBW 4.10 will always have a place in my heart. And on my HD!  :P

Dear Storebror,
I finally was able to use your enhanced FPS Command Mod & Logging test.
I think that the default value for the period is 25 milliseconds instead 250 because during my first attempts I got a deluge of datas and my graphs were unreadable. Hereby my first graph. I used the current values.
I think that this mod could be a good tool to compare the ability of pc to handle BAT. The test mission should be defined, the period, the length either in time or in frames.
Anyway you know that I am struggling with low fps. Could you please with the help of my graph give me your opinion on the performance of my computer.
Best regards.

The default period is definitely 250ms.
25ms won't work, that's lower than the game's tick timeout.

Your graph looks reasonable for a system like yours.
You will suffer low FPS and stuttering when many effects are involved, like it is the case for the track "The Blach Death".
You can probably raise the overall FPS a little by lowering the Anti Aliasing settings in the Nvidia Control panel.

Best regards - Mike

Dear Storebror,
I just made a test with the following line in the rcu folder: "START LOG 1 LOGTEXT 1" and I got a period of 25 to 30 mseconds. I will write "START LOG  1 LOGTEXT 1[250]" to be sure.
Amazing tool, isn'it?
Best best regards.

By the way how to disable temporary the tool, just putting a minus in front of the line in rcu?

Dear Epervier,
just one question. With 409 do you meet fps of 1 in case of many aircrafts in the air in the same time?
Regards.
