Antix70

I'll see what I can come up with. Probably post in the AH-64 forum to ask others. Consensus is always nice

It's ALWAYS done this while loading all the info from servers around the world. My workaround is to simply search by name, add a favorite, and then click show only favorites. Loading all the names in the list still takes some time, but no stutters, and I only see the servers I want to see because they're in my favorites.

You're gonna love em! @LooseCannonNow I need a set for the Apache! Any ideas on layout?!

Wow, your gimbals bring back memories. I was friends with Ian (UberMod) and Greg (EvenStrain) when they came out with these mods, I built Greg's website to sell the EvenStrain gimbal, and I helped Ernie "CubPilot" with his Hall sensor mods. Greg and Ian were amazing machinists! Greg machined the pieces that went on to Cub's hall sensors, and made his brackets. Your photo shows the sensor installed, but you mention not being able to get it inserted? Maybe post a photo of the problem area?

For the last few updates, I can't get OpenComposite to do any switching, DCS just forces SteamVR. The ONLY thing that works is replacing the Openvr API dll.

Turns out the only thing I needed to do was make sure the UH-60 mod folder was included in the Mods/aircraft/ folder on the server and restart the DCS Dedicated Server.

Can it also save Airbase captures? I see now it uses MIST, our mission is in MOOSE. Will have to talk to our main mission builder to see if he wants both in the mission

Same problem.

This is a remnant from SteamVR. Switching to OpenXR/OpenComposite made this flickering go away, it's replaced by a black screen. It annoyed the heck out of me, and I'd usually close my eyes during loading or raise the headset. Thankful that OC made it go away.

Absolutely! Please add this natively!

We can't have troops and ground vehicles that follow very specifically designed paths, speeds, can't move around buildings and trees instead of through them or getting stuck on them, and you're worried about animals?

Odd. I'm running Windows 10, From System Information Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 20H2 Installed on ‎2/‎21/‎2021 OS build 19042.867 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0

And Again... dcs.log

FINALLY got it to recreate. Log Attached dcs.log

I had several blue then black moments last night, some quite long, but video returned each time. I am trying to get it to stay so I can get you a log file. Also, texture loading takes forever after 2.8, I spawn in an get water world for sometimes over 1 minute, and even the map is dark colors and no land is populated. Both of those used to be instantaneous for me. I only bring this up because I suspect the blue screen issue is related to textures loading.

My setup: i7 10700KF, 64 gb of DDR4, RTX2080ti Hybrid, HP Reverb G2 v2 Cable. I think I experienced this problem before 2.8, but I'm not certain of that. It happens to me every session now, at least once. And sometimes video will return to the headset, but most of the time it does not. What I'm doing when it happens most: Hitting F2 cycling through other players then returning to my own cockpit with F1, or looking at the F10 map, panning around providing GCI for friends and then hitting F1 to return to the cockpit view, the game and sound will pause, the VR screens turn blue, then they turn black. I'll lift the headset, and the VR mirror window on my monitor is stuttering quite a bit, then it levels out, but the headset remains black. On occasion the headset video will return, I think that depends on how quickly the stutters stop and. I increased my page file to 32gb, that didn't help. Is this an issue confined to the Reverb G2, or are others experiencing the same symptoms @Flappie My current issue.

It's probably the amount of VRAM you have available. Due to poor performance in VR, with FPSVR showing 7.9 of my 8 gigs of VRAM used, I bought a 2080ti to solve the problem, now I have 11 gigs of ram, and FPSVR now shows 10.9 gigs used. Poor performance remained until I did the following: The best thing I did to gain back some VRAM was eliminate the chateau in Microsoft Mixed Reality Portal. Using an app called SKYSPACES, I changed the default "home" in Mixed Reality Portal to EMPTY room, this freed up a majority of VRAM that Microsoft was stealing with their home scene. Then I eliminated the use of the "Mountain Home" in SteamVR, this freed up even more VRAM! For WHATEVER reason, all of the background apps for VR integration remain in VRAM, soaking up all of your overhead which would allow for increased performance. The next thing I did was in Mixed Reality Portal settings was to reduce the LOD to LOW and the resolution to 720p, this only effects the home scene of Mixed Reality Portal, and not your game. Leave the Experience settings below to Best visual quality. (Image Attached) After that, I eliminated SteamVR altogether by changing to OpenXR with OpenComposite. By far the biggest jump in performance I experienced. Likely due to the bloated nature of SteamVR. If OpenXR was a racing product sticker on a car, it would add like 500 Horse Power.

I'm no longer having that issue, so I deleted the thread I started. Starting a new thread for that.

I have no mods that are in the root DCS game folder, only community aircraft in my saved games folder, and I have a CTD 100% of attempts to enter our dedicated server that worked fine the day before 2.8 Here is the latest log file dcs.20221102-025054.log

Can you provide a link to the card you purchased? I'm using this (attached) plugged directly into a USB3.0 header on the motherboard. (Edit: I didn't see your link in page 2, thanks for posting that) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DV86Y4Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm might be to the point I'll spend another $40 to make this problem go away. I already spent $190 on a new cable.

Yup, I had quite an argument with a poor tech support guy, my cable died literally 1 year and 1 month after warranty expiration, and I was pretty upset to find I needed to spend another $190 to make it work again.

Same problem for me, huge FPS loss with the update, from 45-50's down to 25-35. All of the performance I got out of upgrading to OpenVR/OpenComposite has vanished. Wasn't there talk of ED maybe supporting OpenVR or OpenXR, or something other than SteamVR? I was able to execute that command line by running cmd.exe in Admin mode. So I will see how it performs next time I'm in the game.

First off, thanks for replying. I know some people can be full of questions but empty on gratitude. Your work has provided us with many hours of fun, and we do appreciate it! Second, literally every other helo at the FARP or Airfield has the Helo Operations menu. Spawn a Huey, verify menu, Exit the Huey, spawn the 60, and check for the menu, and nothing. Here's that line of code from the end of the Scarlet Dawn Helo Operations.lua: if ( EventGroupType == "UH-60L" or EventGroupType == "UH-1H" or EventGroupType == "Mi-8...etc... This is from you OB/GYN section of the lua. Does the 60 need to be added to any other lua within the mission files?

Yeah, I have added that exact text to the HeloOperations.lua, but it doesn't enable the F10/Other -> Helo Operations option in the 60. I'm wondering if this is because it's a community mod, and not a native DCS helicopter?

@markh or @Surrexen I'm trying to add the UH-60L to access the Helo Operations menu, but can't find where the Helo Operations allowed aircraft are defined. A little help would be appreciated. I know just enough about MOOSE and LUA files to be dangerous I just need pointed in the right direction.
