Frame Rate Improvement?
-
that’s kind of a hard question as everyone’s system is different so there is not a one stop fix for all
but first thing to try is play with the shaders
open up the configuration link from the launcher and expand hardwareyou will see Shaders subsection
goto lighting effects and change to per pixel
then post processing and untick heat and motion blur if selected
shadow mapping turn of shadows on smokealso turn on low res clouds and reduce particle system
but in all honesty I would play around with each of the settings one at a time and see how that effects your FPS what you want is to get a balance between graphics and your FPS that you are happy with

Thanks for replying

I have tried to select my AMD Radeon R7 M260 in Falcon BMS 4.33 but it only detects my AMD Radeon R5 Graphics Card which is linked to my AMD A8-6410 Quad Core Processor
-
If you have a dropdown list under graphics, try to expand that and choose the other card. However, I take it you already did that, sorry if so.
As for FPS:
This is what I use on a very old WIP to be mid life updated system:
Advanced Options: All fields marked.
And these settings I also recommend to be off: Via “Configuration”:
Rain effects:
Rain RingsWater Normal Mapping/ Water environment Mapping/ Focus Object Reflections
That is if your system needs this.

Thanks for the Information
Do you know the reason why I cannot choose my AMD Radeon R7 M260 on the Graphics tab? It only lists the AMD Radeon R5 as being Available?
Could it be because both Graphics Cards are Linked?
-
TBH that is above my knowledge base, someone with more PC current technology know-how may answer that.

Remember though that turning off the shaders from per pixel to per vertex will save a little FPS, lights at night will not be as effective. My best FPS trade off on the options for me have been turning off all the shadow sub-options: cockpit, smoke, and detail. I don’t use much external or even much internal cockpit views, mostly looking through the canopy to really miss them.
I have also found that turning OFF V-Sync has been a big help for my system that runs fps under refresh rate almost all the time (albeit the under 60 fps is due to almost 4k resolution, not a older system). I was always a V-Sync believer before now but I haven’t noticed any tearing and have noticed a good bump. This might also due to me using AMD and/or SoftTH for my PLP triple monitor setup, but it seems that something is not really being that efficient in the V-Sync buffering for me. So if you are consistently under 60 FPS try V-Sync off.
One other technique I’ve noticed for Korea is that staying above 20,000 feet MSL or so often causes another positive bump in FPS (which is probably due to the tile system IIRC). Staying above this altitude if you can help it really helps when using the TGP.
-
Flying far inland north on TEs is also a good way to safe FPS, as well as turning off MFDs from time to time.

have a search on the forum there has been a few discussions on how to choose which card to use for BMS on duel gpu devices around cant remember the title of the top of my head just now

Thanks Ninja
On my Laptop specifications it does not mentioned that it has a Dual GPU it just has Two Graphics Cards the AMD Radeon R5 is for the Processor while the AMD Radeon R7 M260 is for the Graphics Card itself

Hello Drenth
maybe you already checked this but did you read carefully in your BMS 4.33 Folder ‘Docs’ - looking in BMS-Manual section 4.5 (p53) ?
As for the GPU performance question maybe some advice here:
