plus I dont think people understand how many drop in DLL mods there are for Vulkan Rendering.
If ED makes it so the engine detects those mods, it will be bliss.

Played around, testing my FPS with various settings in VR again. Used the Viper at Vaziani.
With weather, terrain object shadows to flat and rain drops on, I settled in around 22 FPS.
Removed rain drops and only gained back 1 FPS. Removed the Terrain shadows and gained back 7. Looked toward the city in between the 3 airfields and FPS dropped to 18.
Removed weather and jumped back up to mid-high 30s.
Same starter settings (flat shadows ON), minus weather on NTTR and a solid 45FPS.
Sadly, weather is killing the performance. So itâll stay off or to just random light clouds.
And Iâm running an i9-10900, 3080 GPU, 64Gig RAM on a Reverb G1.

It is such a useable helicopter. I love flying it in DCS almost as much as I love seeing them get shot down on reddit.

Has anyone else noticed a change in the Hornet flight model?
I flew it today in 2.8 for the first time I believe, and it feels intangibly different.
Also, I donât think it was documented, but flight members now have dedicated HAFU symbology on the SA page with flight number (A, B, C, etc)
Edit - apparently the flight member designations have been there all along. I suppose Iâm used to Baltic Dragonâs campaigns, which donât use the flight member system.

It seems to hold energy a bit better, I can keep up with the MiG-29 in the Dogfight quick mission a bit more easily?
