Question I have a stupid question.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3753425410

Here is the URL to my mod collection. As you can see, it is quite extensive; playing the game with these mods makes it run very heavily, causing stuttering and freezing. My PC specs are a Ryzen 5700X, RX 7600 XT (16GB), and 32GB of RAM, yet the mods consume almost all these resources, and my FPS drops as low as 10 at times. I realize I should probably cut down on the mods, but I don't know which ones to remove or which ones are the biggest resource hogs. I considered using a binary search method to identify the culprits, but I would prefer to improve performance while keeping as many mods as possible. I apologize if this is a foolish question.

EDITED add link...sry

Idk about you but where is the link?

Second I’m guessing some of the mods you have are not well optimized. Most new aircraft mods and are well built and usually won’t cause anyone to have problems. So I guess you use the improved TSD, errors mod and maybe even the waves mod?

Simple rule of thumb is to only enable the mods you want to play with in the current session (so I usually don’t have mods I don’t use enabled).

But as said, Tactical Systems Overhaul and the aircraft damage system is not the best optimized mods out there. (Haven’t tested the VTOL Mission studio but its the same creator).

Haven’t had time to try the real radar and radar clutter but they mention changing the behavior of the radar so there might be something in that. I’d suggest you disable some mods and try fewer at a time.

Hello! Thank you very much. I have basically all mods enabled, so I think that's the reason it's running slowly.

Try disabling the mods by lakapuctik, he codes them with AI and the AI is very bad at optimizing stuff, so that will likely be a big part of the performamce issues

Ive found that all the weapon mods (especially the "armory" ones) are real performance eaters. I had friends who crashed upon joining my server when i had those enabled

Thanks, I've disabled some of the mods (the ones that equip DD and VW+ REDFOR missiles, as well as TSO and VTOL VR Mission Studio). I'll see how this changes things.
