Using F4x weather mapper custom settings. What are the min latitude and max latitude left longitude and right longitude for this theatre? Thanks and apologies if missing obvious.

Good luck with this. Always wanted to try this theatre. Thank you for your efforts.
Never been on DCS but watched some YouTube stuff. Graphically it is nice to watch and l’d probably try it for the eye candy. But then l’m old school right back to sims like Project Stealth Fighter and Gunship and the graphics were pretty shoddy but that never stopped my enjoyment.
Came to Falcon in 2003 and it pretty much has no equal as a combat flight sim. What it lacks in graphics it far surpasses in terms of depth and scope. The most important thing for me is the people who commit their free time and effort to develop it and at no cost to us. Remarkable on this day and age.
Thanks I-Hawk, good to see you too !
Roger that, I know what is coming! hehe.
Now, for the current BMS exe, I’m happy that you would also expect at least “some” improvement of a performance… that means I’m not totally stupid!
I will tinker some more this weekend. I want to start by clean and re-installing all NVIDIA drivers and BMS itself. Better start with this to be sure I have an absolute clean starting point. Then, I expect maybe some super secret new expensive NVIDIA setting might also be the culprit here…
Will report later. If anything comes to mind in between, please let me/us know here, I’d appreciate it!
Good luck dude. It takes time and trial and error - l’m still looking, but am at an OK level now.
This is a great place for support.
If its summer there then there is a good chance its thermal throttling, so get a CoolerMaster EVO 212 cooler, good and good value.
Jump into your BIOS and apply the Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) for your RAM. if you can even push the clock a tad more , all the better.
I’m out of here. :bolt:
Changed to XMP for RAM in the BIOS. I’ve messed around with the GPU settings and am hitting 75~ now for Korea Campaign.
Definitely intending to change the stock cooler as l don’t trust the temps with overclocking.
Agree with many that lower FPS isn’t a deal-breaker but on my old PC, TGP and using Mavericks knocked it on its ass.
Looking forward to Nordic once it is released for 4.34 as l got decent FPS in that.
Hi
A couple of things/suggestions:
1. Get your numbers straight. I mean specifically that 35-60 are very different numbers
2. If you want to know how your GPU performs in BMS - Test in an empty TE. From my experience - Empty TEs are GPU bounded, campaign missions may be CPU bounded at some areas (e.g near the FLOT)
3. I don’t think more RAM will help you. You can use task manager or better Process explorer to know exactly how much RAM your app is using. BMS IIRC shouldn’t use more than ~4GB maximum currently, so unless you have anything heavy running at the same time, 8GB RAM should be enough for you to run BMS.
4. While empty TEs are GPU bounded mostly, still your CPU may have an effect as the CPU is the one pushing commands to the GPU. So if your CPU is slow, especially if it’s single core speed is slow, compared to the strongest/fastest CPUs around, then you may see a difference.
Its been a long time since I ran 4.34, but with the closest equivalent version I have, with my system (9700K at stock speed and GTX-1060 3GB) in an empty TE I get ~75 FPS average with all settings highest and Multi-sampling at x7 (Or at least the equivalent). Your GPU as far as I’ve seen should be ~same performance as 1060 (And no, the extra 5GB it has over mine doesn’t make much of a difference for the BMS case).
So, if you get ~60 average in an empty TE, then it could be just the usual - “BMS likes Nvidia cards better”, while other game/sim may be opposite. Don’t waste too much time if you are getting ~60 in an empty TE.
Thanks for the detailed response. The TEs have shown the best fps performance around 50-60, but in campaign I have been locked around 35-40. My main things has been to establish what kind of performance I should be expecting with that build. Not running anything heavy in addition to BMS.
I will continue to experiment with settings and the possibility of more RAM (opinion is split on this though). It has been my first build so has been a steep learning curve in terms of components and setup.
Again, thanks to all who have taken the time to respond
Turn off shadow mapping in config. In some campaign missions at the start on the ground there can be a lot of aircraft which kills the frame rate. Worked for me getting above 60 on the ground in campaign even with a heap of planes.
Thanks. Have implemented this. Also been looking at the settings for the GPU clocking. Last test had me upto 75 airborne so will continue tweaking. Been a bit time pressured so you guys have all helped.
Many thanks for all your responses.
The resolution is 1920x1080 75hz. I have Vsync off in addition to mulitisampling.
I have used the TEs within Korea and the campaign has been Balkans. Is it likely the FPS draw is specific to Balkans?
One other thing is that my monitor uses Freesync. Should this be switched off?
I had to save on the RAM but could change this…Will look at the O/C but am on a stock cooler.
All responses appreciated.
Hi all,
Just wanted some input for BMS 4.34. Recently built a system with the following:
Win 10 home
CPU: Ryzen 2600
GPU: Aorus RX 580 8gb
RAM : 8gb Corsair 2666 (2 x 4gb)
Mobo: B450M DS3H
All drivers current etc.
I am hitting between 35-60 fps with settings dialled down across TEs and Campaigns. I’ve watched a few instructional videos for BMS to adjust the most common settings for better FPS performance.
Based on your detailed knowledge on here, can anyone confirm that the FPS range is about what I should expect for the build investment here? Hopefully a few people have AMD builds may have experience on this and anything that might help. I was hoping to be hitting 70+.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
