Persian Gulf for DCS World (formally known as Straits of Hormuz)

What are your specs? I havent seen too many issues, especially with crashing.

~Two years old gaming notebook with an i7, nvidia 970, 16gb ram, win7
The graphics card has 3GB but takes some memory from the normal ram, up to another 3 IIRC.
With previous versions of DCSW it worked fine, and my fps before the crash happens are fine as well (I usually play on medium settings). Not perfect but OK.
This is my main rig right now as my other one is dead (and it is faster anyway…)

I think Ill give the new drivers a whirl tomorrow and see what happens.

Cool, let us know how it goes, if you keep getting a crash, send me your logs some how and we can dig deeper.

just did a little test flight around in the harrier, with about 10 BTR’s spawned for killing, using about 6.2gb of Vram, 10gb of RAM. May want to drop the settings to minimum and see if it still does it. Then you can crank them back up one by one to see what is taxing the system. I’m on a 6700k i7 and 1070.

I had to give a Harrier a go too. Haven’t been in it in months…it is really looking great. Is there a campaign for it in the works yet?

This user created campaign for the Harrier is actually pretty good.

Still. Downloading.

Took over 2hrs for me to download sand.

Well worth the wait bud! Looks great!
Looking forward to next week.

I’m at 70% now… so I guess it will be tomorrow before I get to explore the new map. And yes, next week is going to be epic!

Got in for a bit before I had to go to bed- definitely brought back some memories (THEY EVEN HAVE THE SANDBOX). I’m looking forward to playing around more in here later!

what a lovely map. I can see though why they suggest 32Gb RAM boy its a hungry thing :slight_smile:
If you set cloud density to 7 and select rain you get intermittent showers. It looks great in the huey, flying in sunshine and then the shower starts and you have water droplets rolling or being driven up with the rotor wash. Awesome

I wish I could say I shared in your success :slight_smile:

Sounds like I may need to spring for additional RAM at some point as currently I’m sitting at 16G.

I think as other people have mentioned… if you have an older gfx card with not much ram(like mine), then 16gigs of ram may not be enough.

I just did my first flight. Wow! I’m really impressed so far. I have only scratched the surface (a quick run up the coast to Dubai) but everything seems to be smooth, even with 16GB or RAM (I have a 1080 GPU though, which probably helps). I’ll be exploring a bit more later today.

I have 16 gb and I’m doing fine.

What kind of card? I’m getting stuttering every now and again with my card - I’m thinking I’ll pick up two more sticks myself.

im on a 1070, 16gb and an elderly i5. frames are ok but i want visibility range back up to high.

So I am seriously contemplating either spending about 350 on an i7 at 4ghz that would fit my current box and another 16gb or saving a bit longer and going for a new mobo, cpu and ram. that would cost about twice tho.

Only a few missions shipped with the map. They are SU-25, A-10 and TF-51 Missions. In the A-10 Folder there is a ground attack mission. Im sorry, I have not given the Warthog a lot of love in years. I replaced the A-10 with the Harrier, the F-16 with F/A-18s and off we went. The mission is a hoot!!! No Spoilers. But you got to try it.
The Su-25 folder has a ground attack mission. I will use this to create an intercept of the '25 and its MiG-29 escort. First I had to make them Iranian of course.
IM LOVING IT! QATAR IS ON THE MAP. Albeit, we are a faceless blob of land, but we are there. and in time, I think modders will make Qatar a living part of the map.
The performance I am getting is exceptional. This here video by Jabber, gave me great performance in and out of VR. His settings are my new bible. Check him out.
Oh, I tried landing on that Building for an hour and gave up LOL

Cant wait for the Hornet.
