Mouse Lag
-
I’ve been away from BMS for some time (since 4.32). Having installed 4.37.3 , my mouse seems fine until I get into the cockpit. Then there is this huge lag that makes it almost impossible to manipulate the controls. I swapped out the mouse, no change. I went into windows and slowed the mouse response, no improvement. It could be that my computer just doesn’t have the muscle to handle the demands of the new version of the simulator. I’m still wading my way through the documentation, but if anyone has had a similar issue I’d be glad for your advice. Thanks in advance. Mike N.

Hi,
I think what you describe can be due to low FPS. I have the same when flying on a low-spec laptop.
Try to put those lines in theFalcon BMS User.config
located in<bms install dir>\User\Config
.set g_bEnvironmentMapping 0 set g_bWaterEnvironmentMapping 0 set g_bEnvMapRenderClouds 0 set g_bEnvMapRenderFocusObject 0 set g_bShadowMapping 0 set g_bShadowOnSmoke 0 set g_bReducePSFires 1 set g_bHdrLighting 0 set g_bHdrLightingStar 0 set g_bUseHeatHazeShader 0 set g_bShowFarRain 0 set g_bShowRainDrops 0 set g_bShowRainRings 0
If it helps with the mouse and in general fluidity, you can enable them one-by-one to improve graphics at the cost of FPS.
There is some discussion about performance optimizations in https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/23970/fps-optimization-for-campaigns
and there were others, which I cannot find right now. -
@Fox_15 Thanks, I’ll give it a shot.
