[SALT/] Enough with the new ships, finish the ones in the pipeline. I want my damn Carrack! [/SALT] 'Gimp

Scored my first dogfight kill in 3.0.1 today, Connie Aquilla vs Pirate Cat. Got tired of the endless interdictions and took matters into my own hands. It was like a slow motion mud wrestling match between 2 pregnant hippo's but I eventually got a good firing solution and hit it with about a...

I played last night for about 40 minutes, EU server at 11:30PM Pacific, settings 1440 Very High, FPS was steady in the mid 20's which is awesome for me - occasional and very short drops/stutters I assume related to massive pirate activity, but very playable from a purely mechanical or...

Ran another test in 4K last night, low to mid-teens FPS with occasional stutters/drops as per normal. Did not take it down to 1440 to check FPS but it was with limited exceptions playable for a cargo run or two. One interdiction, solo Caterpillar, I took a 60 degree course change and went into...

Sweet mother of God! Looks fantastic! Grill all the things! (for Printimus) 'Gimp

Ran another 4K experiment tonight. Logged onto AUS server, and saw a routine 12-17 FPS with occasional severe FPS drops to 3-5 FPS. Took a SuperHornet to Levski,saw 3 FPS on approach but once landed back up to average of 15 FPS with occasional severe drops again. Murdered by no less than 3...

Yes, I think Snakey is saying, correctly, that in a power limited fighter like the F-5E you have to trade altitude for speed and you can use terrain in some cases to force overshoots, hard deck violations, even controlled flight into terrain (crash) onto your opponent. And yes, terrain masking...

For the interdictions, find the Caterpillar (I think they are there to suggest that a device that can pull you out of Quantum is a big piece of equipment), and fly 60-90 degrees away from you original course and away from the Cat - I zoom out about 8-10 Km, point at the destination and resume...

So final update. I flew a pizza, beer and stims run in the Connie at 4K, steady at 9-11 FPS once I left Olisar, including a pirate interdiction on the way to Daymar. Ran same run at 1440 and was seeing 14-17 FPS. CIG is on the right track, in a month I have gone from almost unplayable single...

OK, quick test results as follows: System Specs- AMD FX-6300 3 physical cores, 6 logical cores, mild OC using AMD Overdrive, to 4.1 GHz, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR 3 RAM GTX 1050 Ti, 4GB, mild OC to 1898 MHz/ using MSI Afterburner Borderless Fullscreen Windowed Mode Server with 20/50 when I joined In...

That's the rub, almost no difference 1080 to 1440, last I checked 1080 was 15-17, 1440 was 11-13 in 3.0. I'll run a couple test when I get home. Gotta say, it was sure pretty. 'Gimp

This just in, my lowly FX-6300 and GTX 1050 Ti will run SC at 4K, very high at 15 FPS, AT PORT OLISAR!! It was just a short test since WifeyGimp and I are going out to dinner shortly but holy F'ing cow, 4K at 15 FPS, at Port Olisar. I already run FSX at 4K and run DCS at 1440 which is where I...

YES! Test DCS Squadron, Best DCS Squardon Let us make this happen! 'Gimp

Gave 3.0.1 another go late last night - saw sustained FPS of 25-35 @ 2460x1440, it was beautiful. They turned the pirates down I think. Servers were borked though, on one I could not select my Penguin for trade (forgot to check at Olisar before I left so figured it out at my destination), and...

@Metal-Muffin I can't comment on the other mods since the Tiger is the first one I have purchased but based on my 20-ish years of flight simming in general as well as being a licensed Commercial Pilot in the real world I agree with @Snakey that the F-5E is probably the best 'introductory'...

Thanks Glorious Leader! I suffered a complete tear of my left ACL back in June, surgical repair in October, still in PT. I am an amputee (right foot back in 1983 due to complications of a birth defect - hence 'Gimp) so it has effected my mobility more than I like, slowly coming back now. I...

So I've been messing around with DSC World 2.5 since I can't fly for real right now (let my medical certificate lapse while recovering from ACL reconstruction) - REALLY digging it although the dogfighting is much harder than SC due to energy limitations of flying planes vs spacecraft. Anyway, I...

So I was overjoyed to see 40+ FPS late last night the first time I woke up at Port O after DL'ing 3.0.1, and devastated to see not only a return to 13-ish FPS, but ridiculous drops to 1.4 - 5 FPS due to the once again bugged pirate spawning issue. I was well on my way to remaking my fortune...
