Cool Cant wait for patch? Tips for a good blast!

Got CloD and itching to fly prior to patch release?

I've heard that you can optimise your experience by turning off roads and woods/trees (which I haven't done yet). What I found helped in a big way was turning off the clouds!

I've been having a fast, fluid blast in 6x6 dogfights over the sea!

So, in summary:
  • Avoid towns/cities, best of all, fight over the channel
  • avoid flying against bombers, especially numerous amounts
  • TURN OFF CLOUDS!
  • try reducing overall number of aircraft, perhaps to 3 against 3
  • Avoid campaign missions and training missions - just use instant flight missions

If you have any other performance boosting tips, please mention them in this thread.

BobTuck.

Hello,

can you perhaps guide me to a quick mission that starts over water? (I dont speak russian, im just doing the best I can using the english menu screenshots as a reference)

I keep starting over land.

Maybe if i started over water id get at least 1fps.

Also, when in the video options, can anyone verify that the lowest settings are in fact at the top of the drop down menu/list, as opposed to being on the bottom?

Thank You Bob!

It does help very much!

Over the water makes a humongous difference.

Does anyone know of any flight sims that use the tree generator COD is using. I've always heard it was a very big performance hog. IIRC DCS dropped it for A10C because it was so fps intensive
