I've defragged, I've switched between regular and lite versions, I took the map and textures over to my regular DBW install, I've changed the TexMipFilter value, I kicked the computer, and none of that has any effect. everything is great until those buildings start popping into view...!
Age old problem in IL-2,been like that since the first game version
Default Berlin map is like that
Try flying around the countryside,staying away from the large city's
it is a huge map,and the countryside is also heavily populated with small villages
originally the actors.static for ther full map was at 23 mb,I then cut it down to 18 mb
and it has since been cut down to 10.5 mb
So I have slowly been cutting it down for playability,but it takes a lot of time and effort to do so
my tequnique I have been using,is I over populated the map and then cut stuff out
Rather than trying to copy paste population to the map
What I do,is now the population is on the map,I have been cutting sections out making small fields in the city's etc.
also cutting population out,trying to leave just what is along the roads similiar to a Western town Movie set for Hollywood
where all the buildings are along the street with nothing behind them
As a pilot,you look down.... see the road and then slowly focus on the population along the road ignoreing what is between the roads
It seems to work IMO as the map looks very full,with many small villages full of population that are NOT hard on Fps
It is just the large city's still effecting Fps and they continue to be cut down slowly
It is far easier to cut population out over time,than it is to try and slowly add population
and it eventually looks far better with the end result IMHO
So just bear with it,it is a Beta map to see how people make out with it
and it is continuously being worked on so will improve
although,there is not much I or anyone can do if your Pc can not run it
if this map is hard to run,there would be many other maps just as hard to run including default stock maps like Berlin
eventually,when I get done cutting the population down
I may create an alternative "lite" actors.static for those with low-end Pc's
Once the map is finished,then it would be quick and easy to just reduce the population in the extreme to create a lighter population for those that need it
This way,creating a nice full map for those that can use it,and a somewhat empty looking map for those that need it
Sorry I couldn't help with an actual solution for you,but the map is Beta and with that there will be issues
Thanks for posting though as I was wondering why nobody expressed any Fps concerns
and I was expecting some Fps issues to be reported
