To be honest I found the inbuilt training missions good for basic understanding of systems, then branched out from there re-running them a few times to make them a bit more 'second nature'. Then set up my own missions in Nevada to practice with navigation, instruments, weapons, start ups, shut downs etc I have the training qualification campaign modules, and have commenced the Basic Aircraft Training - which I am finding quite tedious to be honest, hopefully the advanced and tactical will be better.

What is your PC power setting at? I had similar issues after building a new PC, whereby the FPS would drop like a stone every few seconds. Windows Advanced power settings were set to balanced. Set it to high and the regular FPS drops vanished.

To get a better idea on whether it is playable, maybe worth posting the PC specs - CPU, GPU, Ram and Hard Drive. Look here for system requirements: DCS World 2.7 (digitalcombatsimulator.com)

Still not seeing it...

Have you got failures activated?

I had similar, and managed to fully eliminate it by setting MSAA to x4 and SSAA to x2, but obviously this then drops the FPS quite dramatically - especially if flying in the Marianas, but fine for the Caucasus and PG. As a compromise I dropped SSAA to Off, left MSAA at x4 and then in the Nvidia settings played around with the Anti-Aliasing transparency setting - which seemed to help (or maybe just experiencing a wishful thinking effect!). The only other thing I have in Nvidia Control Panel from default settings is the power management mode set to Prefer Maximum. I have very similar settings to ours, albeit I have Lens Effects off, VSync Off and Full Screen On.

Many thanks @Caldera. Have been getting used to head tracking so 'sort of forgot' about the zoom function. I like the gun stab, but I also have issues with target fixation whereby I tend to drive my hog into the target... Gotta love the beast and its nuances! On a different note seen yours and others posts re the TGP FLIR/optics - TBH I don't have any major issues. If things are a bit unclear I find if I cycle through BHOT/WHOT a few times it sorts itself out, failing that reposition, BS the TGP and re-slave to target, and for the most part all is good. Cheers!

As a guess, think this may be due to aircraft speed. Try slowing to a lower speed. You're hitting 367 kts in a 27o dive so only going to get faster? Just been running some test/trials of CCRP CBU97s with different burst heights in Nevada, and noticed my CCRP steer/glide line was at an 'odd' angle. Checked speed, and was down to around 150 kts (throttled back to give time to set weapons up). Increased speed and as I did so the line went vertical allowing a successful release.

Yep - and it still isn't brilliant in terms of FPS. If I keep my 'normal' graphic settings whereby I get around 80-110 FPS on most maps, for the Marianas this drops to between 35 - 60 - quite a drop.

Appears to be working fine on A10C2. Just ran a test mission in Nevada, set up 4 columns of tanks (x11) with default spacing and targeted tank 6 on each run, then set 4 differing altitudes of burst. 300 (pointless - too low - nothing dispensed), 1500 (hit complete column), 1800 (default - missed 1st 2 tanks) and 3000 (far too high and drifted off course).

Not getting any cloud jitter using latest stable (offline) with DelanClip - that I can see anyway. Did get a lot of graphical jitter previously but that was due to my head track set up - once I played with the curves it was fine.

Ok - so is that a static point, or dynamic?

No issues here.

Suggest you check you haven't inadvertently inverted your throttle control - so by moving the throttles forward you are actually shutting down the engines? Try using the keyboard to throttle up and see if the same happens?

If I have the TGP set as SOI and designate a SPI with guns selected, then switch back to HUD as SOI, when I select TMS aft short is changes the SPI from TGP to IFFCC. Question is - what does this actually do?

Many thanks...

Gotta love Boeings 'marketing strategy'! Would suggest for 'encourages' read 'if you don't upgrade wave goodbye to future technical support!

Thanks - though my HMCS display disappears when it overlays the HUD looking forward out of the cockpit? Whereabouts is that setting?

No luck unfortunately - description is 'CCIP GUN CROSS OCCULT. This allows the option to occult the TVV behind the CCIP gun cross in CCIP mode by selecting YES.' So as far as I can see it is only the TVV that is affected, and not the targeting diamond. More practice needed.

Thanks - will check this out. My gunnery is hit and miss (literally) so if I can just align the pipper with a diamond I think I may stand a better chance...

Hi All, after some advice/assistance if possible, as I don't know what I am seeing is correct. Started to play with guns, and am designating targets with TGP, so setting TGP as SOI, identifying a target and setting it as SPI, then make HUD SOI and select weapons to guns. As I roll in I can see the TGP designating diamond, but as the gunnery reticule aligns with the diamond it 'blanks' out the diamond, so all I see is the reticule and not the point of aim I set up from the TGP. Is this correct?

Have you checked your Windows Advanced power settings - and ensure they are set to 'High' or 'Extreme', and not Balanced? Start; Settings; System; Power and Sleep; Additional Power Settings - Choose or Customise a Power Plan.

Hi - just opened up 2.7.3 beta to check if any updates. Following that opened up 2.7.2 - which asked me if I wished to 'update' to 2.7.3 - which after selecting yes proceeded to copy files from the beta installation. Could also then install Marianas. Is stable now 2.7.3?

Where are my purchased serial numbers and licenses? (digitalcombatsimulator.com)

Can verify this works. Had similar issues a few months ago, after building a new PC, so was 'clean', yet DCS would stutter every few seconds. I managed to reduce it using in game settings, but was still noticeable. With the FPS counter on I would watch it move around 90/110 then suddenly drop to around 40 and back up again. After installing a 3rd party program (namely MSI Dragon Center) and selecting a performance setting - the stutter disappeared. I then embarked on finding out what changes had been made by MSI DC - one of them was the Advanced power setting to extreme from balanced. As the PC was new I wiped everything (as MSI DC had messed with some other stuff I wasn't happy with), re-installed windows, updates, etc, and without using MSI DC played with the power settings, and purely moving from balanced to high increased performance and removed the stutter.
