Anyone looking for higher FPS in Falcon should turn off “Focus shadows” that is on default, in the configuration. Its a pig.
Water Enviroment Mapping- uncheck.
Reduce particle system is a good check also.
Measure Fps in clean TE. I get 130 fps over water in clean TE. System: 3770 I7, 1070gtx and SSD. The rest is mainly cpu - gpu issues.
software as GPU-Z running with the tab “sensors” open on your second monitor (if you have it) and you´l see that your GPU is almost idling in Falcon even with FPS at 25-30. I´v tried Nvidias config to Maximum performance on the power config, but it doesnt seem to help. I think this is mainly beacause of a bottleneck CPU- GPU as the calcs need to be run before sneding it to GPU? My tiny understanding. 🙂
Maybe a check at the particle sys, skins, etc etc. I think the campaign are mainly what sets the limit, but implementing more and more “eye-candy” in a sim that has an engine from the dark ages is like asking a stone to fly.
I love flying Falcon because its a great, great simulator. It works. It works in MP. It works with cheap systems.
For the guys that love to be able to read the labels on the slammer, (Eyecandy) there are homemade skins and such to download and use; BY CHOICE.
Keep it as clean as possible please.
Cheers!
