IL2 FPS? - austinthepilot14 - 23.05.2010
hi.
im curious about this fps issue..
il2 runs great 98.9% of the time
but at times my fps go down in places and the gameplay gets choppy. for example on this one map i play online theres places were airfields are on fire. lots of smoke columns and fire dispersed around the field. when i get near it the game gets pretty choppy. i know thats cpu intensive but other players tell me how they have no problem at all and there running a near exact system as me.
my specs are
core 2 duo e8400 3.0ghz
2 GB of RAM
ASUS p5ql pro motherboard
EVGA geforce 9800 GTX+ 512 MB
im running UP with hsfx 4.1 running most of the time. as well as lite clouds and perfect landscape textures.
any help on this?
thanks!

I used to have a very similar configuration as you, but I had 4gb of ram. I did not have any stutters, other than seeing 128 planes in the air. I suggest that you upgrade your ram. If you have a 32 bit OS, that means only about 3.2GB will be recognized by OS.

yes iv been thinking about getting just 4GB. i think that will solve most of my problems. thanks
oh btw how do i figure out what kind of ram i need.?

Crucial.com worked for me.
They'll be able to tell you what type and how much.

+ if you're 64 bit OS Win 7 will be using a fair chunk of your 2Gb (vista probably more so).
I'm running dual boot Win7/32bit XP as my TIR 2 isn't supported for 64 bit os drivers and don't really notice the 0.8 gb difference when in XP.
Go with the 4Gb

Weirdly only 1GB works fine for me. Even with Airfields on fire. But then with 100+ planes in the air the fps rate drops to perhaps -2 per second

Your system uses DDR2 1066. (max 16gb RAM)
If you're running XP/Vista/Win 7 x32bit
I'd put in 8gb and setup 4gb as a RAM drive. Run the system swap file from the RAM Drive.
If you're running x64 bit, just install the RAM and then set up a static swap file that is 2x the amount of RAM in the system.
You can read more about this in my help/Mod section.
S!
