    I have noticed that certain aircraft certain aircraft such as the TW F-15A do not seem to have functional lead computing optical gun sights. while others like the F-15SE seem to work fairly well at maintaining boresight alignment.   For instance , when pulling g's in a dog fight in certain HUD equipped aircraft , the piper  will diverge radically from the boresight  of the weapon and burry itself  in the bottom of the Hud if I happen to be pulling up... or the opposite if I am in a dive.  The gunsight is actually fighting me rather than computing a lead solution. :)  

    I have been comparing Avionics INI  Hud Data between aircraft and have tried some changes but to no avail.   Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place?

    Need a little advice here.

    Thank you

    DLSS I don't know, but DSR yes, that's what I run. Just make sure to select the higher resolution in SF2 after making the change in the control panel. Don't worry, even if it's larger than your monitor's resolution the drivers will downscale it automatically to it.

    Are you using DSR in global mode in the Nvidia control panel? I do not have it showing under SF2 program settings in Nvidia control panel.

    I saw a massive increase with my new upgrade: Ryzen 16 core, 32 gb 3600mhz ram, Samsung 2 tb ssd, geforce rtx 3060 12gb vram.

    I have highly graphically intense modded installs, with extended horizon draw distances. mod combinations that used to bog down and choke my old system ( which was high end for strike fighters) run silky smooth, so much so I am considering making a video demonstrating the performance that is now possible with highly modded  sf2 and the latest pc components.  CPU performance makes a big difference.

    Just built a new windows 10 computer and installed sf2. Ported over my Thirdwire control map For my CH flight controls from my previous windows 7 SF2 install and in the new system  it is totally messed up. The new SF2 install is unable to assign the settings to the proper devices as called out by the old TW map file.  It seems to have problems differentiating ion between the Fighterstick  and the Pro throttle Additionally all of the button/ key bindings are miss translated . The call outs in the map file are correct, but the interpretation is hosed up.

    Have  any of you with windows 10 and CH flight controls had this issue? 

    Thank you in advance.

    I just ran SF2V Vietnam Air & Ground War mod using the stock Longest Day Part I mission at 4K with Ultimate graphics settings (mirror, shadows, the works!) using my old i5-4690K and GTX 1080 8GB. All 4 cpu cores show 100%, RAM is about 6-6.5 GB in use, gpu is at 40% usage with less than 1.9 GB VRAM in use. I am using the "FAST" mode for Vsync that allows greater than my monitor's refresh rate of 60 Hz without tearing. I am seeing an avg of 83-85 fps but the real-time indication is mainly 90 fps with a low of 67 fps and a high of 125 fps. Other than the cpu being pegged, the system is mostly idling. 

    Thank you for this. :good:  This clears up a lot of questions I have had. Do you think that SF2 will fully utilize the 8 or 16  cores of a  Ryzen CPU?

    With the large amount of VRAM available onboard modern video cards (12 gigs and up of VRAM) I am curious what kind of performance improvements you guys with high end cards are seeing. 

    I would love to hear from some of you that have 6 or more Gigs of VRAM, and how the upgrade improved your sim experience.

     When combined with a Fast  powerful CPU and a large amount of fast system memory  I would think the VRAM  would bring a much higher level of performance in SF2. especially when using extended horizon distance draw mods. 

    There really has not been much talk about getting the most performance  out of this sim hardware wise, in a while. 

    Thoughts?

    fixed spacing issue

    Title says it all :)   What driver version  are you guys using with windows 10?   Last I heard there were big problems with graphics glitches, so I stayed with windows 7 and rolled back my drivers to a stable version. Now years later I am building a new rig and want to be able to use a modern graphics card with drivers that will play the latest games.  I have not seen anything posted on this in years, … so : Are the problems a thing of the past?  Workarounds?  What are my options?

    Thanks in advance.:smile:

    My older computer is dead, looking to put a new system together for simming, first person shooter games, video/audio/ photo editing and 3d modeling.

    PC component prices are pretty steep right now, so price is an important consideration. 

    looking for advise from those in the know  regarding the performance of some of the latest CPU's GPU's and NVME SSD Drives in relation to frame rates and overall performance with highly modded  SF2 installs  with settings on high to unlimited. 

    GPU prices are absolutely nuts right now ...  looking for a quality card with  the most VRAM for the lowest cost

    What is your opinion as the best bang for my buck on  a reasonably priced GPU?  What is your opinion of the new AMD Ryzen 9 5950X for Strike Fighters2? How much improvement will a fast NVME ssd bring to the table?

    my monitor is  37"  running 1080p

    My buddy has donated an ASROCK 570M pro 4  for the build  

     I am  looking  at these components: 

    AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-core, 32-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor -4.9 GHz Max Boost -72 MB of cache -https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-5950X-32-Thread-Processor/dp/B0815Y8J9N/ref=sr_1_3?crid=17UL1TM1MVMQS&keywords=ryzen+9+5900x&qid=1646030356&sprefix=ryz%2Caps%2C126&sr=8-3#:~:text=unlocked for overclocking%2C-,72 MB of cache,-%2C DDR-3200 support

    Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 AMD Optimized Memory  https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-2x16GB-PC4-28800-Optimized-dp-B08SQC325S/dp/B08SQC325S/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

    SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-970-EVO-Plus-MZ-V7S2T0B/dp/B07MFZXR1B/ref=sr_1_3?crid=33Y8AYFJ1U2OV&keywords=970+evo+plus+2tb&qid=1646031158&sprefix=970%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-3

    Thank you.

    yap had a workaround ( if i remember correctly ) by  placing a transparent  targetable  aircraft object as a ground object on top of a real visible ground  target. It worked like the ASAT mod as i remember. its been a long time but the gunners would open fire  whenever they passed by the object. However that would mean that every friendly fighter  aircraft would see it as an air target as well.

    If I may place a vote, :smile: I like the idea of Diego Garcia. It offers a wealth of potential flashpoint scenarios for an extremely interesting part of the world. Especially for bomber operations.

    WOW...a massive terrain like this, with Diego Garcia as its center point would be an epic playground. The number of scenarios that could unfold from a terrain like this  mindboggling .....if it could be done.

    menrva i gave it a 3 star review because of all the mods i have installed for this game this was the only one that didnt work , maybe it was something with the filles because i took the same mod from another source and it worked great

    Each one of the required TW titles had a .cat file that you need for the mod to work .... If you do not have required .cat files the problem is on your end.

    You will probably want to reach out to Monte CZ or Killer Bee when setting this up.   Some people were having issues with the beta that monte links to...  and the official release  seems to have been lost when the CA site was rebuilt. Killer Bee fixed some of the issues... maybe he can help.  I really wanted to get this working but was having some issues with it, and then real life got in the way and I never came back to it. Hopefully you will get it sorted out better than I did. This mod would be epic with the GKABS new M109A2 Howitzer... Or even better the New Jersey class battleships.
