THE MASS BRIEFING IS PREPARED!!! Iniochos_2025_Mass_Briefing.pdf

In the picture the rocket power switch appears to be in the off position.

Yes, I know. But I get lost in the count after I’ve used all of my fingers and toes. Wait! As long as it’s north of 18/sec, I should be okay. Good thinking!

Night flying with the Crystal, for me looks like peering through a smudged window for black levels...I am looking into this as well, as it's likely a setting I messed up somewhere or ignored. Inside the cockpit seemed normal, but I will have to verify as I was too busy getting distracted by the "fog" I did have an older Quadviews/OpenXR setup, and recently uninstalled that to use the Pimax version builtin. I will do some testing today or over the weekend, see how far I get.

@diego999 Outstanding! I would have never figured that out! I do wish stuff like that was in a wiki (updated) or some sorts of knowledge base. Thanks dude!

e.g. Some require more redfor ff modules but others complain about pushing out new modules for sale instead of working on the core features. When they change the DCS core, mission creators complain about discontinuity. When they add a new module half of us cry out for siutable assets. And when they have done all of this you come around and complain about to much required hard drive space. Its impossible for them to do it right, since everyone has his own opinion of what is right.

Most common cause is DLSS dll substitution request in Nvidia App. By doing that the dll near the game exe will be ignored and the one from Nvidia drivers package will be loaded instead.

Just count seconds for every 360

Not sure, I'm currently working on fixes and updates on the core assets since the release.

When?

Ahhh, ok. I asked because, not long ago I was turning circles in the sky with the -A. Started with full fuel and 2 AAMs. Initially I was sustaining 8.1 Gs. By the time I was low on fuel, I was holding 9.7–9.8 Gs on the merry-go-round. I was at around 1500 m altitude. Unfortunately, I can’t find my key for the payware version of TacView. So I can’t chart the turn rate during all of this.

Sure, but the reasons for that are very different: in the Falcon the entire canapy is gold coated to reduce the RCS, while on Cy-27 it’s just a type of plexiglass that changes colour due to age and exposure to sunlight.

Damn what a manifest. As I read the title line I did expect some other points, but accusing ED for DCS being a storage intensive sim is quite akward. Also your download issues. Even if there would be a desire to play while downloading, how often do you download the whole game? If you feel you have to speak up, there would have been far more seroius things to complain. The net.dostring story is realy a big one or the fact, that dispite the known performance issues in VR there is still no option to switch off that f..king flanker in the main menu which eats up your VRam. But there you have it, there is no we, there is only a you, and a me and sometimes it might be an us. Every one has its own problems and wishes and ED has created a big monstrous Frankensim with thousends of individuals with even more wishes and needs. I think despite all frustration we have to acknowledge that ED does a lot of work. Just look in the changelogs. And often enough a well ment change turns out to be a boomerang and creates new issues. And they do care about the community. Nineline and BIGNEWEY sometimes have more patience than I could probalbly have. They are not perfect, but to handle such a demanding community with such a big sim is quite a challenge I asume. You can´t satisfy everyone and there are often questionable descisions but thats just how it works when you have tu run a business and make design decisions. And don´t forget, only because you are a active member you don´t own ED nor DCS. It´s their product and their decision and you can make your decisions as you like. Maybe you have more luck with the developers of that other sim. Its smaller, runs smoother and doesn´t cost anything.

Well, I like the clear cockpit but an optional yellow cockpit in the 'Special' menu as in the F-16C would be nice.

Hi, thanks for the dxdiag. Your system seems to have some kernel errors in WER. Ensure your system is up to date, check all drivers. Make sure your bios is up to date also.

Unplayable isnt how I would describe it, clearly thousands of people are playing DCS in VR. As mentioned in the other thread you started its best we take a look at your dcs log and dxdiag to offer some advice, but all options have quirks, there isnt a fix that will help when it comes to wanting perfection based on personal preference. It will depend on the settings, the hardware, and its performance. But please continue in the other thread we can take a look at your setup specifically to see if we can help. best regards bignewy

17 hour and 13 to unpack? what system are your computer... and your internet conection? I have a 1 Gb conection and download and install DCS from scratch only take arround 1 hour (from 2020). The last big updates will take 20-50 minutes... I have a exclusive SDD (2 TB) and working on DCS from 7 years ago and none problems. And before claim... I have install SC, and other Steam game on the same drive. If you have many maps, you have 400 GB of data on your SSD... My instalation has 974 GB and has none problem... Welcome to the expensive world of flight simulation (from 20 years ago)... I have a Hotas Warthog from 5 years ago and many other perifericals (check my firm), a 1080 Graphic card and and 2 32 Gb RAM DDR4 and work properly. The comunity has part of the comunity... but remember, ED and 3rd parties maintain them. ED has your propper VIACOM system and working on update and expand them. Part of CurrentHill assets pack and other assest creators has been added free to DCS as official content from the last 2-3 years ago. Welcome to the real Simulation on PC...

Get yourself high and fast, the less atmosphere the phoenix has to go through means less drag, if you can get through the transonic region to Mach 1.2 (a lot of drag in the transonic area) before you launch that’ll help too.

The event will be held among JATF members. LockOn Greece is one of them along other squadrons.

Rocket design book? Operating manual of what? All I know is R-77 definitely can work off STT. That’s how it was fired from J-11A, Su-30MKK, Su-30MK2

Hi, In some instances George keeps scanning the ground (low) and not forward anymore. Not sure when and how. Is there a way to center him back? Did deslave (fixed) but after choosing “searching area” he is fixed to scanning the ground low.

Hi, all options mentioned come with quirks, and personal preference is the only way to go. But lets start by attaching your dcs log and dxdiag maybe we can offer some tweaks that may help. best regards bignewy

There are currently 4 problems in VR: 1. terrible almost unplayable shimmering with DLSS off. 2. terrible almost unplayable aircraft ghosting and hard to spot aircrafts with DLSS on - even with latest DLSS 310.4.0 and preset K - especially when fighting over a forest, enemy aircrafts may literally turn into an unplayable messy warped streak of colors. 3. double aircraft image rendered in close range dog fights - even with DLSS and MSAA both off. 4. completely unplayable FSR or NIS (DLSS alternatives), since enemy aircrafts often literally become invisible in the sky. These problems SHOULD BE FIXED - trying to play DCS without stuttering, ghosting, or shimmering, should not be an idiotic form of black art. This report is for the developers. Do not respond if you only want to explain that this is the way it is and we should all just learn to live with it. Do not respond if you only want to list your black art list of work arounds that took you ages to compile and which does not really help or work. Cheers, and thanks for an otherwise wonderful masterpiece (aside from the other annoying bugs that weigh it down, of course).

I'm not sure how telling the GPU utilisation is nowadays. In yesteryears, when it was just rasterization power, it was much more straight forward. Today GPU can hit several different walls. Rasterization, Frame gen, Raytracing etc..... I'm not sure how the utilization is calculated exactly. I have seen the GPU stuck at 97% reported in benchmarks while setting new (personal) records. Long story short. When the reporting is somewhere in the 90s, I usually assume the GPU is properly loaded. Otherwise I usually see it hovering at 70something when running a frame cap at 120Hz.
