For my trusty Aorus Master X570 that is exactly right. Just leave everything on default, turn on XMP/EXPO and you have a ruuning machine that performs within 97% of its optimum. However, things have become more difficult since then (thanks, DDR5 ) - at least that's the bottom line from what I've taken in from the tech and pc-builder-scene. I haven't personally built a DDR5 system yet. Mine's not due yet. So my experience is limited to second sources and hearsay. I see. Thanks for the headsup. Will eventually come in handy.

Contact frames exist for AMD too but for different reasons compared to those for Intel: while on Intel they are needed to ensure proper contact between IHS and cooler/pump, for AMD they are mainly used to prevent thermal paste making too much of a mess, as the IHS on AM5 doesn’t cover the entire die. I have one from Thermal Grizzly for that very reason; it keeps things a lot more clean.

On paper, the Super with its panels, lenses, eye tracking and audio seems like the ideal headset for Sim VR. I would probably have ordered one were it not for Pimax's poor historical QC record, and the ridiculous order wait time. My other concern is performance. Many YT videos are out stating that the CS can run very well at 72 fps if tweaked e.g. I am currently running my QP, with QV DFR, and am happy that I can finally hold 72 fps at what I consider to be high graphical settings in quite intensive situations (flying low over cities). Forgive me for being sceptical, but I don't believe that setting a 5% foveate resolution (as stated @ 10:28 in the video) can possibly provide an acceptable visual experience. If my numbers are correct, at the Pimax quality setting (5100 x 4312 per eye), this results in a resolution per eye of 255 x 216 (equiv to running 5% over the entire panel). I am running my Quest Pro at 2704 x 2752 per eye and if I use less that 40% (equivalent 1082 x 1100), the shimmering in the peripheral area becomes too distracting. Even at the said 40% the shimmering from the F-18's engine gauge in the PA, which seems impossible to remove, irks me. I am also very happy with not having to use a face gasket with the QP, and am quite reluctant to go back to the discomfort of using one. So, has anyone out there gone from Quest Pro -> Crystal Super? What's been your experience? Can you run most scenerios at the Pimax quality setting without having to drop to reprojection? No regrets?

Meanwhile that lisk can be use by Modders to build Mods, I only put on them the official ED/3rd Party content. Waiting to see if some "Assets teams" expand the AI units.

I've noticed this too. RMB will flip switches on in one A/C but then it flip the same switch off in another. Then in some A/C you can click on a 3x way switch with the RMB and it will cycle all the settings so it doesn't matter if you RMB click or LMB click as long as you just click a lot but in another A/C the switch will only switch on or one direction and stop then you have to LMB to turn the switch off or flip it the opposite direction (I really like this). There is also an issue with dials, IMO. In most of the modules the scroll wheel will turn things up in value, and reverse scroll will turn them down (which I really like). Then the F4U-1D came out and you can't move any dials at all (like the trim) with the mouse scroll, you have to click and drag to get them to move in value. There seems to be no standard across all A/C, which also makes sense to me because ED does their modules differently than say a 3rd party module and vise versa, but it can be kind of frustrating if you are going for muscle memory.

This makes sense. The only option from default I changed was turning on EXPO for the RAM. i thought about PBO and the curve optimizer for lowering the voltage but that’s about it.

Thanks for the kind proposal, but I suspect there’d be the same problem. I have disabled SSAO for now, hoping it will be fixed somewhere in the future. Until now, I continue to be amazed with the FPS gain like you. It enables you to up the resolution, which adds great detail. Lights on the carrier, stars at night look just fantastic.

The foreign countries will likely appear when ED releases their global map.

Hi! I should have said the gain OSB rocker button next to the OSBs on the MFD. It worked in GM and SEA mode so I guess it was a big assumption on my part that it just wasn't working on GMT mode when the gain slider wouldn't move when trying to make an adjustment. Thank you for clearing that up for me! I appreciate it! Side note. I am grateful for all that you guys do. This is a great simulator (my favorite) and I love that you guys have correspondence with/and have a place available for us to ask questions and report bugs etc. I greatly appreciate that. Have a good day!

My exact experience with this MB/CPU combo.

If that is the case, I would strongly suspect bios shannanigans (or windows chipset driver issues to a lesser extend). Even if the thermal connection would be sub par, it would still boost temporarily. I f it really doesn't boost at all, don't bother opening the case and examine the bios. Nowadays (imho) BIOSs got pretty convoluted and it is pretty easy to mess up. And on top MoBo companies screw up themselves to often.

Yes, it actually is a wonderful and intelligent answer. They’ve told potential customers their plan but have promised nothing.

At least according to the POH, the warning light can be ignored while water injection is active. Not sure if I'd trust that with how things are currently modeled, tho.

Up Still there, and still ugly

Brother i have been building PC’s for over ten years. I appreciate the concern but I am not what you would call a novice at this stuff.

@BIGNEWYHi, thanks for the information. Regarding the DCS multiplayer servers, as I mentioned, I have port 10308 enabled on both TCP and UDP, and I did the same in the firewall. If I misunderstood something, could you explain it to me in more detail, since I’m not very experienced in this area?

Replays have been broken since I can remember. When you play the replay, the AI is live in the replay which means it may or may not make the same flight path decisions as when you flew the original mission. It's gotten better over the years, but it is still broken.

Thank you for sharing your experience Talisman. The bugs will get squashed out eventually surely.

Looks like ED fixed the CATM-9M at some point, as it now gives a tone again. It works with the F-5E, but not with the F-4E, see tracks attached. Can you fix this, HB? F-5E_CATM-9M_AIM-9P5.trk F-4E_CATM-9M_AIM-9L.trk

I use task manager (hold down control, shift, and escape all at the same time) and then pick DCS, and then indicate "end task".

It's good to be surrounded by people who know, thank you

Hello the aviators, I have recurring office back and fall spit. I don't know what to do anymore? What works one day no longer works the next day is painful. Here's my last DCS.LOG, if you can help me? THANK YOU Bonjour les aviateurs, j'ai des crach jeu et retour bureau récurrents ! Je ne sais plus ce qu'il faut faire ? Ce qui marche un jour ne marche plus le lendemain, c'est pénible ! Ci joint mon dernier DCS. LOG, si vous pouvez m'aider ? MERCI à VOUS dcs.log

I have a strange issue. Whenever I "Quit to Desktop" from the DCS menu, the game exits in VR but hangs on my desktop and never exits. This is a bit annoying as I have "Cursor confined to Window" enabled. The only way to get out of DCS from this state is to use SteamVR to "Quit VR" which shuts everthing down. It's no big deal if you're just playing, but quite the pain if you're testing and changing settings! Has anyone else seen this?

It won't matter of you do it 100 times if your technique is wrong. Too much/too little paste will both cause increase in temperature. Hence my question #3 above. Watch some videos, try to replicate, run benchmark, and as long as you're within a couple of percents of the expected score for that CPU, you're good
