Game lags when using FMB
« on: January 25, 2012, 03:03:50 AM »

I have wrote the same problem before but that topic doesn't provide help.

When I use Water=4 mod my FMB lags very much and game may also crash when put lots of flights. I have ATI mobility radeon HD5650 video card and of course I have water=2 in conf.ini because I have ATI.

So is here anyone who can help me with this.

had this problem a couple of years ago :(  one thing that definately fixed it for me was  to run game in direct x mode- fmb runs fine then but not exactly brilliant for flying. my temp fix at the time was to run a copy of the game setup for dx purely for fmb use, then transfer missions to the ogl setup.

iirc i eventually got it going by dropping an earlier atiogl file into il2 folder(7.7??)
also recall changing some conf.ini settings (vertex array??)

just as a side note any atiogl file in your il2 folder will overide any driver update- and latest ati drivers are not always the best for older cards

hope this helps

Lag running FMB appears in big maps regarding to your PC/vidcard memory

No, I have this problem aswell. It's something to do with ATI cards.

My ATI Radeon HD6570 has no problems, with any FMB/QMB map other then flying over Berlin, or simular big cities at certain angles with decent graphics settings. Speaking of Berlin.. not even a alien supercomputer would be lag free.

I can get laggy FMB and also missions simply by installing more planes, so that is one thing to test. In UP2.01 with Q6600 CPU @ 2.4 GHz I got clearly laggy FMB before Java memory crashes started, and even with current DBW and i7 2600K @ 4.2 GHz I can get quite bad lag with all possible planes installed, but I need a new beta selector that should be included in DBW 1.7 to avoid crashing. I have nVidia GPU in both systems, but I think that plane number lag is on the CPU and Java side and thus GPU doesn't matter there.

Anyway, it is useful to test with less planes active in air.ini and if it doesn't have any effect, then you have some other issue there.

Have you tried taking the game out of programs and placing it on your primary HD in it's own folder? This will shorten and simplify the path that the game has to take. I had fairly substantial lag , skips and stutters before I did this. Hope this helps!

Try carmamaster's mod modified by hguderian (all .tga files reduced from 24bit to 8bit) and also use Avala's beautiful foam texture ...
