True. And that's because it's not originally ment to be used by the player as there is a great risk of missing some important radio calls as there are only two radios in Tomcat.

And yet you absolutely refuse to try to rename the Saved Games folders. I'm not saying it will work, but it could. Easy test. Worked for others. You're just proving my point. Why on earth are you posting here if you don't take advice? And BTW, DDU, Nvidia Inspector and all that jazz, have its benefits and have solved issues in the past. I do however that DCS can be a pain regarding performance and is very finicky compared to other games. Like it absolutely hates oberclocking for some reason. Diva Combat Simulator...

Could you be more specific? I might misunderstand you. The ingame ATC and mission added AWACS must be contacted through other F options in the communications menu if you want to contact them directly, and not through mission scripts. I've never had any issues with that. If you need the generic ones, you can't use F10. F5 is ATC IIRC. (I use VAICOM, so I don't really use the menus), and of course the correct PTT must be used for the correctly tuned frequencies, but you seem to have that in order. Cheers!

I think all these shader cache clearances, DDU, safe mode driver installation, is nonsense. It does not do anything to change the behavior of DCS. The stutters, freezes, blackouts, with GPU load dropping to zero, is unique to DCS. No other application does. Unigine GPU stress should discover any problems. But it runs fine. Cinebench runs fine. Unreal has no problems. Houdini, Maya, Blender, Rhino3D. running in GPU shaded work no issues. Just DCS.

Well, that's up to you. And doing it that way won't do you any favours. DDU is for completly wiping the old drivers and any reference to it. Has nothing to do with the Nvidia APP. Using DDU can only be done in safe mode, and installing the driver should also be done in Safe Mode. That way you make sure Windows doesn't start with a generic driver. Why won't you temporarily rename the DCS folder under your Saved Games? That's a test that can be done in minutes. That's fine. You can upload it to the log analyser in the Eagle Dynamics Discord if you're afraid of showing your mods and hardware info. I never said it was crashing. People have solved stuttering and blackouts by renaming the mentioned folder. Edit: There seems to be some file corruption/error of a specific file in the Mission Editor folder in the Saved Games folders. Which solves a lot of issues if deleted. Pretty sure you're alone in that department. I know you're stubborn and don't take to advice easily. That's your prerogative. Be that as it may, it only hurts yourself in the long run. Enjoy!

Imagine a Hip where all the switches and buttons are in logical locations. Like all the electrical systems being in the same place, the radios being in the same place, auto pilot and stability systems being in the same place etc. That's the Hind.

I would expect to put files in a folder like [System drive ] :\Users\YOUR USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS\Kneeboard\MiG-29 Fulcrum

If anyone is hesitant on Win 11, you can still run Windows 10 until 2032 with official security updates by using Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2021 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-10-enterprise

Did you have the dot in the file name in the edited training.lua? I assume yes. So, I yeah, that sounds really strange.

Bump.

I cleared by Nvidia shader cache and C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\metashaders2. I do not use DDU or Nvidia APP. Only Nvidia panel. No difference. I am afraid, I have to decline to upload dcs.log. Way too much personally identifiable information there. Plus DCS is not crashing. It blacking out. This is a deep problem, and IMHO, has no solution. DCS is not playing well with Nvidia drivers.

to solve that you just have to add this line on Input\Joystick\default.lua { down = Keys.COM1, up = Keys.COM1, name = _('COM PTT - COM1'), category = {_('Communications')}, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0}, null You need to bind 'COM PTT - COM1' to use Comm1 radio and it will work on flight.

Just post your changes. Many of the mods in the user files are altered game files. Cheers!

Hey, thanks for the heads up: My campaigns never really give "scores" for anything, it's besides the point. I'll check the WP, OrbX might have changed the map and the elevation since the release, but practically it doesn't matter too much, given what happens in the mission The AI should stop when there is an obstacle on the taxiway, sometimes ED messes it up and it doesn't, and then they fix it again - on and off. Unfortunately it's out of my hands.

Second. Desperately need the FRS.1.

I plan on not moving to w11 for as long as possible and as such reliance upon PLasso; however that choice is likely not the best advice when adopting of newer hardware e.g. CPU chipsets

@DmitriKozlowsky You could post the DCS.log though. And there is no reason to specify MT as ST is no more. Or do you mean you're running from the bin-mt folder. Better stop doing that and just run from tbe bin folder as the bin-mt will be removed in the future, and they are exactly the same. You don't have Winwing displays and run DCS as admin by chance? DCS shouldn't be run as admin in any case. Have you tried to rename the DCS folder under your Saved Games as a quick test? Seems many users have reported corruption lately, which was fixed by this. Various issues though. When you changed graphics drivers, did you run DDU every time? And did you always install the drivers in Safe Mode? Cheers!

Thanks _Hoss, I am really enjoying the Virtual Carrier Task Force 58 with weekly training & missions. We had a great mission today as we ran into bombers with escorts on their way to level Orote or Agana.

Not sure the correct log but here dcs.log.old

Then you should mark the post I quote as the solution, because the other one is confusing/misleading. Cheers!

A general rule I follow is when ever I "upgrade", whether it's the OS or hardware, I always do a fresh install of Windows.

Blackouts and stutters have become impossible to deal with every 5 seconds. 2.9.20.15384 MT Nvidia drivers are irrelevant. I rolled back and forth back to two years back. Then experimented with newer. Its all the same. With latest version of DCS blackouts, freezes, stutters, happen every 5 to 10 seconds. DCS system settings are irrelevant. I tried with DLSS ON/OFF, AA ON, AA OFF. Does not matter. Without DLSS and AA OFF, I get 150- 170 FPS, which is great. But stutters and blackouts are so frequent that DCS is unusable. A blackout or stutter coincides perfectly with Nvidia GPU load. It drops to zero, stays there for some seconds, then returns to normal. There is no crash. No crash log file. DCS is not even aware that 3D load is at zero. Product is now unusable for me. Thats all she wrote. I think I am done.

Where was this post about SPO-10?

I will suggest uploading dcs.log for reviewing.

I just updated from Windows 10 to 11. now Im having some performace issues that did not exist before. Should I have done a fresh install. Any suggestions?
