Without anti-skid, I believe the best strategy is to pump the brakes on and off to keep from locking up. I tap the brake key once per second thereabouts.

Thank you @Flappie for the suggestion. I have been exploring the game performance itch that many of us have, and I have noticed that monitors these days are playing all kinds of tricks to report Hz readings. My own Asus PB287Q claims a "native" 4k resolution but only at 30 Hz, not 60 Hz. And, the onscreen info box claims the monitor is 60 Hz and 144 Hz, although Nvidia does not report this ability. This would explain why I can get a consistent 70ish FPS; perhaps they overclock it from 60 Hz to 70ish Hz and then claim double with Displayport Compression. The bottom line is that this monitor will do a solid 60 Hz at 2K with Displayport Compression disabled. With DCS Vsync ON, I get a pretty solid 60 fps on Syria and PG with my quality settings on the moderate side. EVGA 1080Ti 6393-KR with ASUS PB287Q works great. Same card, same settings, with the Dell U2415, also great. Same card, same settings, Samsung LC27RG50RQNXZA Gsync Curved Gaming monitor, not great. I got the consistent 60ish fps, but the jagged cockpit textures and shimmery water would not go away. This could be a long list, but in these days of scarce hardware, who can afford to make mistakes. If you have a monitor/card combo that you know works well please post. I only post my settings to show how I got DCS Vsync to work and how I fit the best quality I could into the capabilities of my video card. If you want to test, try to match my setup (or tell me where I went wrong so we are testing apples with apples.)

That would be a very long list! It was the Samsung LC27RG50FQNXZA Curved 240 Gaming Monitor. My Asus PB287Q is much better.

I tried a "gaming" Gsync monitor today with 240hz. However, it was far inferior to my 4k 60hz monitor (running at 2k). No matter what combination of vsync, adaptive sync, or FAST sync, it was a shimmery mess. The monitor plays a big part in making DCS smooth as silk.

One further note on using Nvidia FAST vsync (DCS vsync off), is that you require a Displayport cable and a monitor that supports Displayport Compression 1.2 or 1.4. This is how Adaptive Sync works on a Gsync monitor.

Mic check, mic check.

Also, the location of TacView recordings is important. Don't put them on a cloud drive. The OP should share Nvidia control panel settings and a dcs.log if possible.

I find the training mission cover everything quite well. After that, I find it's best to create simple missions where you can go blow stuff up. You can go quite far towards creating your own campaigns with the Mission Editor.

I suspect it's related to the braking action itself. From what I have seen, the best strategy is the mash the brakes as soon as you have wheels down. If you look back at the runway, you will see black patches of rubber where you lost traction. I don't believe the brakes should lock up like that, but I don't have rudder pedals. Do rudder pedals allow more gradual braking force?

There's a few here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?set_filter=Y&arrFilter_pf[filetype]=3&arrFilter_pf[gameversion]=518&arrFilter_pf[filelang]=&arrFilter_pf[aircraft]=561&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&CREATED_BY=&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC&set_filter=Filter

It would be nice to see the lights across the desert. I've been testing midnight flights with a full moon on PG and Caucasus (winter is very nice). Looking forward to some night lighting.

The only way to mess up aerobraking is to lean too far back and scrape the paint. Not like I've ever done that...

Voice message switch. Thx @Dee-Jay

I think you mean LIST? Where in the LIST section is this controlled?

Fly the hornet.

My question: has anyone managed to get a triple monitor setup with that resolution working with 60pfs? Maybe with 24 core E5's and two 2080ti's? Try dropping the resolution in half until it fits.

I made a discovery this weekend on this subject: my monitor has been lying to me all this time. When I set Vsync ON in DCS in 4k, the FPS counter said 30fps. I discovered that my old 60hz 4k monitor can only do 60hz with Displayport 1.2 compression. So, I set the resolution in game to 1920x1080, and disabled displayport compression in the monitor. Now the fps counter showed a real 60fps. So, I turned on Nvidia FAST Vsync, and it kept my fps between 60 and 120 depending on the map and such. I played around with quality settings until I could get it to "struggle" around 60fps, and then I shaved a little off the quality settings until I was getting a steady 70ish fps on all maps. Then I turned Vsync back on in DCS to get a true 60fps, and flew around PG all day without flickering lights for the first time since I bought the map. Flying a Viper is easy. Tuning DCS is a dark art.

NVM, I see this on PG too.

Related to trees, I notice that the lights (street lights, buildings, etc.) do not render at night if they are outside the Visibility range.

In the Hornet with TRACKIR, I look down, center TrackIR, look up, and zoom out until I get a similar field of view as the F-16. Almost as nice as the F-16. :)
