Clouds :(

Fly higher

to be honest I have a pretty good rig but the clouds and smoke kill my system. I have reduced the resolution to improve my ability for spotting enemy aircraft online and as a consequence get much better frame rates in cloud.

i didnt try lower res yet only other settings like detail and textures, will try this later and report back, thanks

i lowered my res a notch and this helped, but id prefere they fix the clouds or have a setting to lower the detail or whatever for us "lower end machine" people.

thanks for the help

Considering the beta patch, we wanted to see if cloud performance was better/worse/ or the same. Seems to be the same. So we turned them back off (only a slight sprinkling of clouds here and there)

It is a well known fact by now that, no matter what hardware you are running on, clouds have a massive impact on performance, I do dare say it's the same for everybody.
So while upgrading little by little is generally an advisable thing optimisation of cetain things in flight is still needed and the devs, I am sure, are aware of it and working on it.

i take it you dont mean the frosting effect around the edges of each pane of glass? if so this is supposed to happen, if not then no idea i dont get this.


thanks for heads up bliss and ned, makes me feel better that its not just lower end machines

stupid question, what happens if you put clouds=0 in the config?...............
