    So, I'm playing on an older setup, I have HEAVILY slashed graphics settings, but find I'm able to keep 30+ FPS quite easily and often enough to get to my 60 fps limit.

     

    That said I am having very frequent random crashes.  I'll be flying along with no problems or stutters, and suddenly DCS freezes.  Only happens with the F-4 module.

     

    I'm noticing large numbers of HeatblurUI running at these crashes.  DCS rarely offers me the chance to do a bug report.  And the weirdest thing is that when it's the DCS "DCS has crashed" report instead of the Windows "program not responding" one, about 1/2 the time I can alt-tab back to DCS and keep playing.

     

    I'm hoping there's going to be a fix for this in the future even if it's going to come at the cost of sim details or something.

    It didn't crashed once for me so far *knocking on wood*

    If you have the problem again please attach the logs from "C:\Users\user\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\"

    Thats what ED/HB will ask you for or they can't pinpoint the problem.

    F1M is the PMC and DACT OPFOR Contractor version used by DRAKEN Int. and few other defense corps for DACT. We have F1EE E part is Espana, a variant for Spanish AF.

    No, right now we have the F-1CE, F-1EE, F-1BE in the game and we will also get the F-1M. All versions were used by spain.

    I've had to remove 4 aircraft in order to make room for tomorrows download on my 250 gig Evo Plus, so:

    If I buy a 1000 gig to replace it, is it just a case of pulling the old one out and plugging the new one in, (sfter formatting), then downloading the full OB game?

    Thanks.

    ..

    Is that also the SSD where your OS is installed on(savedgames/dcs...)? If not just copy/paste the DCS folder from the old to the new SSD. The worst that could happen is you have to run a full repair, so DCS can download missing files but you don't have to re-download/install the whole DCS.

    You do know the invisible hardpoints were fixed in 2023?

    Things are a-changin'.

    No because i stopped flying ~mid 2022 and didn't had time for it until the beginning of~2024 with the exception of some short trips. So it looks like i missed the short periode it worked, mea culpa 🍻

    OK, I got this:

    1. Armor plates hide lights, one needs to removed them. 👍
    2. If the aircraft is set with no hardpoints in the ME, lights will be present and they will work. 👍
    3. If the aircraft is set with hardpoints in the ME, and the player remove them during the mission, lights are missing. That's the bug.

    That's the behaviour since the first release of the module....so even if you report it, don't get your hopes high this will change in the near future.  But as the saying goes, hope dies last.

    ...All they said was some weird "it was a combo of graphics card and driver version". Well...that applies to all software. How to say something while saying nothing.

    What hardware and software combo? GeForce 960 with 10-year-old drivers? Kick that junk to the kerb already!

    Nope, that was just one point.

    The core issue causing this turned out to be an incredibly complex, multi-layered onion involving both the Windows GPU scheduler as well as GPU process scheduling in DCS itself, mixed in with some deep, hardware level connections across various technologies, such as HAGS, resizable bar, and even specific GPU drivers.

    Considering that HAGS and resizable bar was involved in the problem i think it is safe to say that 10 year old "junk" was not the problem.

    What makes it also really weird is that according to them, the HBUI bug was already fixed by the time they delayed it.

    Do you have a link for that statement? As i understood it back in the day (no native english speaker here so i could possibly misunderstood it) they knew what the problem was, how they could fix it but had to delay the EA release because they had no time left for actually coding the new HBUI again and test it.

    Okay, thanks. Then maybe we should vote for more various "speed tree" models. Would be nice to have more diversified forests. 

    The problem is not that there are no conifers in DCS but you would need to stack them close to eachother to get the "dense forest" feel and that would kill the performance, see the quote Corrigan posted:

    I frequently run full repairs to verify my installation integrity...

    That didn't work for me either, still crashing(my anti virus software was also not the problem). My guess it was something in the saved games folder, which i deliberately deleted and didn't backup.

    (Oh and check out my "microstutters"! MT is unplayable! Yet ST performs fine.)

    I was also flying with the MT version too, i wouldn't call that - in your video - microstutters, that looks more like freezes. 😱 I had a break from flying DCS for ~1year(not much time), after getting back to it i had CTD's after 20 - 30min on every map and in every module. My guess was something went wrong on my end with the merge of the stable and beta version, so i deleted everything, downloaded DCS again and had to configure everything from scratch, now DCS runs perfectly fine on my end.

    Can you show us a recording? I'll make one to show you as well. 

    I did a quick and dirty recording, i will link it as soon as YT is ready.

    Edit: I was not flying the Mi-8 for a long time, especially in 2D(normally i only fly in VR) so please excuse the rusty landing. 😅 They changed the rattling sound effect, it's not that strong rattling anymore i believe or it's just that i didn't flew her for a long time. I should pick her up for some Naval - slingload - resupply runs 😀

    I am up to date and don't run any mods in the base game and have run a full Repair to ensure my installation integrity. I'm also claiming exactly what the OP is. It's been this way for over 6 months!

     

    I have to agree with Volator, i'm still hearing the clicking trim and the sounds going in/out the translational lift.

    I'm running latest DCS without any mods(never).

    Looking at the Orbx 'coming soon' blurb then it looks like Orbx Direct will handle install/download. https://orbxdirect.com/product/orbx-kola-dcs

    Looking at this:

    "

    Note that the DCS: Kola product available on Orbx Direct IS NOT compatible with the STEAM VERSION of DCS World

    Prerequisites

    Download and install the current version of DCS World from here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/

    "

    I think you will only get an key which you can activate in your DCS profile, just like HB is doing it.

  13. From their website:

    Here are the key features you can expect from the Early Access release:

    • ...
    • Four high-detail areas, focusing on two airports in Finland (EFRO, EFKE) and five in Russia (XLMV, ULAK, RU-1110, RU-4464, ULMM), and their urban and rural surroundings and infrastructure.
    • ...

    Looks like this is the detailed area at EA launch?

    Right now i'm a little bit torn. I was really looking forward to this map but i think i will wait until it is in a more finished state, despite this: The early access release comes with a special 20% discount, priced at (USD 55.99), but only for a limited time. As the map evolves with further content the purchase price may also increase.

    It's CEF, it's not Chrome spyware/backdoor browser, but it's a Google product ("community" doesn't matter, since all decisions are vetted by google) with plenty of vulnerabilities (Snowden told us a long time ago... ).

    But... If configured to not use the network it will not "phone home", here an example of CEF used in another sim:

    cef.jpg

    Times applied: 0 (no connection attempts)

     

    So, if HBUI doesn't trigger my FW I'm fine...

    Cobra said that there are parts used locally on your PC(UI, manual...) and that there are "specific internet related features" which will trigger your FW, so don't be surprised.

    not the internal one (which has no head after all).

    Looks like i'm not uptodate with DCS pilot bodys anymore 😅 Stopped using them years ago but i hope for everyone that it will be implemented with the EA release or shortly after.

    I mean we haven't actually seen one in any of the previews, just an empty cockpit. So unless the devs confirm or show one I'd rather not expect it.

    I'm not a "DCS movie maker guy" but i thought the in-cockpit shots in the trailers and especially the airshow video were taken with some sort of F1 in cockpit snapview cam montage - you can see all the vibrating cockpit parts in that view, i don't think this will be visible with the F2 view external model and pilot body? So if there is a F1 view customable pilot body it should be visible in VR too? (although I always fly without a visible body in vr)
