The cities are actually cpu!!!

right..... then the mistery gets deeper for me. Why over cities the cpu (9700x) works like a charm, no drop, and when over the bombers it goes 90-drops till 50-up again at 80-drops at 60+-climbs at 90-stays at 90, despite the fact that I still chasing those big fat ladies ??

I have been using capframex to try to get to the bottom of it.

My guess is in flatscreen it is still very playable over cities vs vr. But it also isn't as bad as heavy ai bomber mission. My guess is that all of the ai is calculated on a single thread, or potentially in the bombers there is also all the physics of eaxh bullet... cities it probably has to do with shadow calculations for each buildings and the amount of polygons the cpu jeeds to prepare- which is a lot of work, but not tye same kinds of calculations involved in 60 plus ai planes.

I run it on a 14700, RTX 3070 8 Gig, 32 Gig RAM and the only thing I throttle back is the 4K textures.  When I run them I eventually get a VRAM warning.  But, I have the FPS set to 80 and it never goes below 80 even in crowded skies so you should be fine

Thank you JG14_Jagr. A light on the horizon 🙂

Smart, SMART, SMART ! Wow! you're smart, man ! I never thought of that.

I'm not a professional. I very well may be wrong, but from what I am seeing it is at least plausable.

What do you see in % load - RCTRL backspace in game during bombers intercept?

60-70%

I had thought/read somewhere that they were optimizing the AI for Korea to be less cpu-intensive by not modeling every crew position, etc? I also thought the AI was going to be approached differently (using simplified flight model away from player's mission) to allow for bigger formations? Seems like it still isn't well-optimized; yes it is Early Access but it seems like Cliffs of Dover again regarding performance (particularly in VR).

The B29 has a second simplifiedFM/DM, it also has a detailed FM/DM. That can allow larger formations. I don't know what's used in the black thursday mission. 

This is nothing like Cliffs of Dover.

Lol.  Clod was unplayable at release.  Completely and totally unplayable.  There are plenty of people playing this game right now.  Just stop.

Just got back from online and it ran perfectly - even in a flak-ridden furball it ran very smooth.

If the devs can reproduce that performance but with AI instead of humans I'll be over the moon.

Love the sound!

Your front yard looks suspiciously like a plane.

They definately did improve it! Put 60-100 ai aircraft in a mission in GB and see what happens.
