DCS:1944 News

Haash, the Normandy map will be added to the existing DCS World 2 (Nevada), so you'll have 2 installs at maximum.

VEAO has a bad rep as developer, so I don't think it's a bad decision :) . The P-47 will be the next (WW2) plane to wait for I guess.

Two more days!

Very nice :) I am hyped.

Did you see the new PBR shaders? Looks mighty fine.



and here.

After the first weekend of flying on the normandy map i recognized that i need more RAM in the future. 8GB isn't enough! So today i will buy me some G.Skill 16GB kit.

The biggest RAM usage is with the spitfire module and in a wing. I have always 98% and the fps are going down to under 20fps.

With other modules i'm between 25fps (on the deck) and 50fps (large altitude) with 75% RAM usage. I'm running medium to high settings.
Processor and gpu usage is ok.

The map is awesome. I really like it. Only the kneeboard map is still not working (known bug).

So for the future i'm ready with my new thrustmaster throttle and all WWII modules and the map!

mm...hold your horses. Extra ram is always nice. Tho the lack of performance is due to lack of optimizing of the developers side. They just didn't have the time yet to address lots of stuff. I guess they are using the old proper meaning of the term "alpha". :)

Also surely Dual modules is quicker than Quad?

@Blackrat:

I have an old system (P55 board with i5-750) so i'm not able to put 16GB into two slots. I have to use 4x 4GB.

@Wolf:

8GB is definitively under the minimum requirements! I had problems in MP before and now obvious more.

Apart from that, i need faster RAM. I'm planning on giving my old CPU a last kick with some overclocking. It still runs with 4GHz and 200MHz base clock all day long. I had great luck with this CPU because it runs trouble free with only 55°C - 60°C (Prolimatech Megahelms cooler with two 120mm fans ) in game with these settings. My board is able to handle up to 300MHz base clock. So i will try to increase the base clock to 220MHz because my multiplier is fixed (i5-750). That gives me 4.4GHz and i will need a RAM with minimum 1760MHz speed (220 x 8).

Also star citizens will not running with 8GB RAM.

[SYN_DerHesse70]

New RAM is in the system. Fps increased around 10 to 15. Now maximum 75% usage of the RAM (12GB).

Tweaked some settings. Now i got 35 to 50fps total with the spitfire free flight mission in a wing!

@Vander,
Did you see this from the DCS weekend news? (I'm glad they made the right decision.)


"Free Maps and Assets Pack for Dedicated Servers
With the release of the dedicated server, the most requested item from clients has been that dedicated servers no longer must purchase maps and asset packs to host missions. We have been listening, and new feature will be brought to you next week with the 10th April Open Beta! Dedicated servers with “no-render” option activated will be able to host all DC World maps and asset packs for free! We see DCS World Online as a critical feature of DCS World to move forward, and the ability to run interesting and varied mission servers is a great thing for you, clients, and us.

In addition, we will be working on further ways to improve and expand the DCS World online experience."

Great news! Completely missed that bit of news. Good decision since more maps have already been announced.
