That first frame answered my question. I can’t get steady FPS on Marianas or South Atlantic so Kola is probably not for me yet. You just saved me from pre ordering a map that won’t run well, thank you!

As a Finn I was naturally interested in this map and will be flying it with reduced settings until it's (hopefully) fixed. But I wanted to do this test for others who are interested in how it performs in VR.

I don't understand why they chose to do this map. Buying one section of the world $60 at a time is not the answer. Thank you for sharing the video though!

Yeah, the map prices are pretty steep. But apart from that I think this is very interesting area. At least it's not sand... But I'm of course biased as I live in Finland 🙂

Quad views on eye tracking VR headsets save the day for fps. I have the QP and the gains are incredible.. what is that performance layer you use to benchmark it?
@ahonensimracingsimflying

OpenXR toolkit. I also use the toolkit for supersampling. Much better performance in my tests.

Performances are not good for me in VR (3080TI 5800x3D 64GB) I've seen a Reddit post where someone is suggesting to reduce the grass, forest and LOD with good results in VR. I haven't tried yet. Don't forget to clear the FXO and metashaders folders

Yeah, probably can reach same fps than on other maps by lowering settings. But I made this comparison on same settings to see how Kola performs vs. other maps.

To be honest, it's the deciduous trees, not pines that look like a realism killer from me. Like, would you put palm trees on the Falklands????

It's a huge map and I haven't of course flown at all parts of it. So I guess there are worse parts too. The performance was significantly improved after the update on 22nd of February. That made a huge difference in SA + Marianas on my system.

4080/ Rift S any you only get 40/80fps? Ouch, that's really bad optimisation. I can get near this framerates (40/60) on MS FS2020 with 4070TI Super/G2 combo at1.5SS over Scandinavia and it looks much better than current Kola map. DCS badly needs new game engine. If ORBX team can't do a better job, noone can.

All other maps are solid 80fps. It's the Kola map that's badly optimized.

If I had to put them to some order it would roughly be something like this (from best to worst): Caucasus, Persian Gulf, Nevada, Syria, Channel, Sinai, Normandy 2, South America, Marianas, Kola. But note that this is not based on any measurements and is mostly based on my experiences with my previous PC which couldn't run everything as well as my current one. And also DCS has been updated between tests. The 22nd of February 2024 update was a huge improvement in how various maps performed. Marianas used to cause stutters even with my current system before that. After that it's smooth 80 fps.

@@ahonensimracingsimflying Exactly they finally fixed marianas. And thanks for reviewing this map in VR. Your observation and ranking of the rest of the maps is spot on even noticing the gigantic improvement in Marianas with that patch. So this map is a pass for now for me. I trust all your results. Thanks a lot!

Yeah, there's weird shimmering at Rovaniemi airport buildings and in the grass everywhere. It's not that visible in the captured image but on the HMD it's quite annoying. No other map has that. Somehow the trees in Finland look bad too and the tree rendering distance seems lower than with other maps. I have that setting maxed. But some areas in Norway look pretty good especially from higher altitude. But in general this was a huge disappointment. I was really looking forward to this map, and then we get this. Can only hope they improve things later on.
