How’s the performance?

[apollon01]

Damn! I will get on it late evening today.

How’s the performance in VR compared to 2.5?

Set to standard at the present.

I think it’s wise to not run on ‘high.’ Either go standard or ultra. My framerate gets weird on high, but is identical on ultra and standard.

The diffusion of light from the clouds REALLY sells shots.

Any more reports about the performance?

[fearlessfrog]

It’s looking good - we’re putting general 2.7 and performance posts down from here, to keep this one all cloudy and screenshotty.

DCS 2.7 Discussion

There is so much to unpack with this update but after a quick flight out of the new airfield at Gaziantep on the Syria map I’m pretty much blown away. The new clouds and night lighting are just stunning. I’m running at 4k with mostly high settings and everything was smooth at 60 fps locked. Its going to be a long night of playing with this… [Screen_210414_115408] [Screen_210414_120334] [Screen_210414_120350]

Who needs terrain when you have all the clouds.
