Smoke particles has been a pain in the arse in every sim, I remember when we were working on the plutonium effects patch for 1946, smokes particles was terrible problem to get the right balance between quality and performance

I agree it is a massive drop in fps with smoke effects. I do not think is an easy one to fix , other sims suffer from this one also!

PS: and pls fix those flickering shadows!!!

You must be new here right? fps has improved largely because many game features have been turned off or dumbed down. Disabled or dumbed down: No cloud rendering beyond middle distance, no upper level clouds, no weather (heavier clouds/rain etc) rendering, mid-distance shadows now only render as a darkened blurr only becoming sharp at close distance.

Do you really believe that the improvements are only the result of omissions and reduced effects?
That stuff was turned off for trouble shooting, not to improve fps!
The easiest explanation is not always the correct one.

It surely indeed increased performances too but we would like both all effects and graphics enhancements back and improved performances, plus aircrafts tuned rightly, weather also, and finally, wing tip lights, wingtip smokes, no crash to desktop at all, no framerate anymore beyond what's normal for modern hardware, enhanced and balanced damage model, there is a lack in certain types of ground objects too, and by the way, the mouse view lags, so do the control surfaces, and new aircrafts should be available, certainly ground types in British side are missing.

The current flight model in terms of stall, spin, flutter and so on needs some tuning but is one of the best available I've seen.
That's the first stone along with awesome huge maps.
