That depends a little bit on the exact circumstances and if the current CPU is in fact a bottleneck for the desired scenario and framerate. Generally speaking and looking at the edge cases, a X3D(*) CPU is certainly more optimal for DCS than any current Intel. That doesn’t mean that a 14K is a slouch. Upgrading between those two is certainly not a BIG step in most scenarios. I wouldn’t make this step unless there is another reason that the Intel has to go (like a defect e.g.). (* actually the 9950 isn’t the most optimal for DCS though, the single die X3Ds (9800\7800\5800) are slightly superior due to the absence of any inter-die problems. But of course DCS isn’t the only use case)

Would love to have something oriented for the Mi-24, with fuel and loadout management, DISS 15 navigation info, true and mag heading to waypoints, distance, ... I have an excel template sheet I'm using to do it manually. I can share it to give an overall idea

Thanks!

Still there..

Yep, I completely stopped buying third party until a resolution is arrived at.

Is possible achieve 100 score in this mission? Kill the IRGC infantry without loss is quite tricky as the need to respect the JTAC heading slow the engagement process, and the F.-5s, well this is a my natural deficency in the A/A enviroment...

Honestly I’ve never heard of it. I actually exclusively fly in VR, so I don’t see the lights on the Viper. I wrote DCS2Target for fun and interest as there was nothing else available.

With all due respect to wags, I’m more interested in what the developer says. They have better idea of where they want to take the module in the future.

That would be a false impression. I got the feeling it's not enough of an upgrade to go through the brain damage of getting my sim machine apart, playing musical parts with two different computers, running my powershell scripts to re-set all the controls, etc etc. That doesn't mean I'm not going through the brain damage, just not in the near future and I might wait for the next gen CPUs. I consciously went i9-14 rather than -ultra just because of the gaming reviews. I don't think that's going to fix the stutters. I keep putting off Windows 11 because they've turned harvesting personal data into an art form and I don't have a ready tool to fix that in the registry, but the information here about tweaking it for games has been awesome. Also noodling a PiMaxSuperDuperDeluxeUraniumEdition whatever the latest VR is later this year, so this entire area is priceless. Lots of great information.

Yea It was purely for when you have an hour's downtime thought it might interest you, some great shots. Our greatest generation bar none, its when you hear the combat losses at the end, some groups think I heard 9 of 18 returning etc for one mission, then to go and do it all again the day after. B17's that's 90 men, one sortie, one group.

That's precisely the point I'm trying to make: games are not "full load". Rendering videos, running multicore benchmarks...those load all your cores, and generate max heat. Games shouldn't be generating that much heat at all (hence why I went with an air cooler). So if your CPU is throttling when playing games (DCS does need more CPU than other games), then obviously it's an issue with your thermals, whether it's a defect in your CPU/cooler or improper install is what needs to be diagnosed. I know, what I meant to say was your thread gave Raisuli the (false) impression that 14900k to 9950x3D is a downgrade

Also it’s not “tinted” so much as a surface in the laminations of the glass is a selective reflector of the wavelength of light the HUD CRT emits. So it cuts that green looking through it. And reflects that green hitting it from any white light source. At night it’s dim enough that red light reflects off the normal glass good enough. So bonus you get a red hud at night.

So we're back to my earlier message. That won't really work for MP servers, which in turn don't seem to enable it, so everybody loses.

Teaser for upcoming video.

Have you tried to turn DLSS off? The logic is this: like FPS limiter, extra frames by DLSS can cause fps drop. This is an assumption, I have the same problem with fps drop with QVFR on, but I gave up before I tried it.

Hey, could you send a picture of your Optiscaler configuration, in-game settings, and AMD Software DCS.exe profile settings?

That one pane of glass is the single most demanding deal with model builders everywhere. EVERYONE has their own idea of how to get it right. Ask any 4 tomcat modelers the best way to do it, you’ll get 6 answers all conflicting.

Wait, you leave your sim computer on….you know what a mess a sim makes in your memory right?

Further testing has revealed this to be a multiplayer issue.

I have a bass shaker connected to an amp, which is connected a USB sound card. Picked it all up on Amazon a few years ago for a little less than $150 IIRC.

When they go so long between updates, a lot of disappointments stack up.

Ну в целом выбор это конечно всегда хорошо. Но почему бы не остановится где то на золотой середине. В меру новый, в меру поношенный. Слишком уж засирать тоже не дело. но несколько засохших капель дождя или каких то соринок на стекле - было бы более чем достаточно. В целом раньше так и было. Бывало даже наоборот перегибали палку. Но слегка я думаю вполне себе приемлемо. Слишком новый - не всегда есть хорошо.

I wonder, do they know the FAA gives out the text books online for free?

Whoa on the hostility brother. We’re just trying to solve a problem here. All I meant with that comment is I am versed in building PC’s, updating bios and drivers, and generally pretty good at troubleshooting. I know this CPU should be doing a lot better than it is. The 9950X3D is an objectively better CPU than the 14900K. The title represents exactly how I felt and in my first post I even said the uplift in other games was good. also on the thermals, if you do a quick search it says 95C at full load is normal. So I wasn’t quick to follow through with that. My highest is like 90C. Being my first X3D cpu I don’t know what to expect. the other comment you replied too wasn’t me btw.
