  1. I'd also like to see some improvements on this. What I'd really like to be able to do is to have a way to enter page numbers and go-to that page number. Ie, I have 100 image files in the kneeboard directory. It should be able to count the number of images on start, and then I can goto a page number which would be the file number, or whatever position in the array or list. A step button would be useful also; so that I can step 10pages forward or backward at a time.
  2. Enabling two E-cores I was able to load the bin-mt DCS.exe. I will test further when possible.
  3. Same issue here, using 13700k, I have E cores disabled however, and HT disabled. Only 8cores running.
  4. Used this and got a friend to print it. Works perfect with Hornet and MIL/AB push through. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3163168
  5. I have a DCS World instance working on ESXi on a Windows 10 Host with SSD datastore. I picked up a cheap old Quadro K2000 card for GPU passthrough. One thing I had to do to get it working was to remove the Vmware video driver in Device settings so that it used the installed Quadro driver as preference. Bear in mind that a normal GPU won't work in ESXi for GPU passthrough. At the moment I've been using it on the LAN only. No noticeable drop in performance as yet. Hoping to host something publicly to push the host and see how it performs under higher player and load conditions at some stage when I get free time and more experience on MP missions building. robgraham, Hit me up a PM if you wanna try it out online as I'm in Perth, Oz.
  6. I also had the same problem with MSAA off and on. Viviane always shows no picture but does how the overlays of target scope, etc. Surprised not alot of comments from others with the same? EDIT: v bugger. Hope update is out soon.
  7. Same issue this weekend trying to get into 104th and the TTI server. :( Gave up after waiting and resorted to SP for the night. Will try what BigNewy mentioned and try again.
  8. Posted this in another thread, long shot but see if this works from an old similar bug https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1923833&postcount=230
  9. Long shot, try this out from past similar bugs https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1923833&postcount=230
  10. Has anyone made a collective by modifying an old Logitech or name brand steering wheel? I have an old CH Throttle; and an old Logitech steering wheel(which I think will be the easiest modification to create a Collective. I couldn't find any google pics to see if someone had done this before and how they went about it.
  11. I have the chance to pickup a R3v thats up for sale locally and was hoping some owners here could chime in on if they are using a mounted TV ? Im looking at mounting my 55" 4K screen but am unsure whether the height with eye level is going to be possible as yet. The TV looks to have 400mm x 400mm VESA mount; so I shoul be able to pick up an adapter that suits. Only uncertainty is the travel possible on the mount stand; and if it can mounted low enough at eye level so as to not have to look up at the screen ?
  12. I picked up a 55" JS8000 cheap to use for my pit and absolutely love it. Bear in mind you will need the power of a newer video card if you want to go down that route running 4K on something like this. This may be uncomfortable on a desk so a custom pit like Akers Barnes would be suitable to accomodate the positioning. There's lots of hungry miners out there if you wanted to sell your 1070 at a good price and upgrade to 1080 or 1080Ti. Input lag is up,around 28ms mark from memory but not even noticeable. Pic attached for reference
  13. Have it mapped, but from memory was (RAlt+RCtrl+L) ?
  14. After a long hiatus, have been playing for the afternoon and I really love the new lighting. Looks like there's some issues with alpha map lighting with the new Shading/rendering system, such as navigation lights, KA50 HUD lighting, and some other lighting textures. Hoping they can fix these to complement the new lighting system. Looking forward o the next updates to come.
  15. Just updated Open Beta and dont have any issues; Log below
  16. Hi Everyone, Just updated this morning to the new patch release. I'm now getting access violation that is possibly Dx11 related. I've reinstallated drivers; cleared out the Saves Games/DCS/ folder ; though I still get the DCS Stopped Working prompt of death when trying to load. Have also done a repair. Hoping their might be an answers to this; rather than go through the entire reinstall. Logs attached. Log DxDiag.txt DCS-20170211-032554.txt.txt
  17. 3930k is fine, get a corsair cpu cooler or if you're game go with open loop and.clock that baby a little higher. As long as your board runs stable voltages you should be good up to 4.6ghz. I believe there's no definitive tests as yet that show measured cpu bottlencking as yet, which includes Intel 5th gen. Gamers nexus was to run some tests on 10 series after Computex
  18. Well bugger me, been a while between flights. Will turn turn this off or is it on, and check again. This was lazy testing via DSR on Panasonic 55" on old HDMI Have yet to try on UHD Panasonic DP With Titans SLI or single, if I could guess about 30-40% less. Kind of hard to throw a comparison though against 700 series cards without knowing how 900 series runs.
  19. Ok, well had a spin last night trying out the 1080 and so far I'm happy. First off a few things to get out of the way. I'm still running 3930k at 4.6Ghz and not having had the justification just yet to spend a thousand or more on upgrading main board, mem and CPU, it's still pulling its weight though obvious bottleneck per se. Coming from SLI Titans; before the 1080 made news I was looking at 980Ti. But the fact that SLI doesn't really play too nice depending what your doing and that I going to spend close to $1500 anyway I decided to go with the one 1080 rather than single 980Ti or dual. Now the 1080 isn't leaps and bounds ahead of SLI 980 or 980Ti. But it is the latest and gives a margin of improvement over it and is the latest tech. One would hope soon driver optimisations will make it better. I had no fan revving issues, no major heat soak throttling. Soon I'll throw a water block on there. Now with that said, how is it? I'm happy so far how it's performing. Settings used: All HIGH HDR on Mirrors On. Clutter/grass 260 Trees 9000 ( flying high this doesn't really justify the impact using any higher and with mirrors on) Preload radius 150000 Res. Cockpit display 512 Flat terrain shadow Off MSAA x4 Aniso x16 Full screen Shadows flat only *F-15 flights only. DCS 1.5.3 multiplayer @4k ################# Airport apron\parking areas 42-60FPS Flying around 55-120FPS Highest noticed in game upwards of 180fps 2.0 Alpha SP Nevada free flight @4k ####################### Same settings and similar results. Ground situations, most frames held at 41-60 fps, but everything still ran quite smooth with no major stuttering headaches. There are situations when frames plummet, but that's still,due to scenes and objects and existing bugs. I hope that small update is something for you guys that are curious on performance. Was it a good decision for me. Yes. Does it perform well. Yes, and at 4K it runs very nice, and the eye candy is beautiful. Does it run smooth? This is interesting , yes though this is noticeable mostly at 70fps and over. There are still some stutters here and there, though I feel this is mostly the scenes hence why I turn tree render visibility all the way down, cause I like my mirrors on :) So with all that, and being very limited with testing so far I'm enjoying it. Why not wait till 1080Ti or something else, why. Maybe Mr money bags will upgrade afterwards. This doesnt show a test where everything is maxed, but the settings applied where it was the best to achieve that min 60fps mark where possible without compromising too much eye candy. Cheers boys
