Got it thanks! Already set to 'Picture'. Also playing around with various settings, and unless I have both MSAA and SSAA selected (in game - 2x and 2x respectively) I get 'shimmer' - predominantly on buildings. If I turn either one off it is noticeable - and even if I reduce SSAA to 1.5x it starts to creep in. Current NVCP settings are all on default except the Power Management mode.

When you say turn off the slideshow - how?

Hopefully the attached works? Set a free flight mission in the Caucasus in A10C II. Initially set the following: VHF AM Channel 1 - Batumi - 131. VHF AM Channel 2 - Kobuleti - 133 VHF AM Channel 3 - Kutaisi - 134 VHF AM Channel 4 - Senaki - 132 Function selector back to Pre. No Frequencies held on any preset channels 1-4. Dialled the preset wheel up to 20. VHF AM Channel 20 - Batumi - 131. VHF AM Channel 19 - Senaki - 132 VHF AM Channel 18 - Kobuleti - 133 VHF AM Channel 17 - Kutaisi - 134 Channel 20 didn't hold - the other 3 did. If actually broadcasting the function selector moves back from pre to man. 2nd track - went mid range - using channels 11-14. VHF AM Channel 11 - Batumi - 131 VHF AM Channel 12 - Senaki - 132 VHF AM Channel 13 - Kobuleti - 133 VHF AM Channel 14 - Kutaisi - 134 All loaded, left on 14 - Kutaisi verified, 13 - Kobuleti verified, 12 - Senaki dropped. 11 - Batumi verified. Reloaded Senaki to 12 - verified. Selected 14 - Senaki shown and not Kutaisi. Similar experience on VHF FM. Radios2.trk Radios.trk

Thanks @Rudel_chw. Understand individuals settings are, well, individual, and would fully expect to 'tweak' - but curious to see others input settings to see how things are affected. The curves created in DCS seem ideal, so (as an example) yaw movement can be tuned so angular movement is fairly slow moving across the instrument panel, but then increases as you move towards looking at the edge of the monitor - hence trying to figure out how this is recreated using Opentrack. I am guessing whereas OT has the centre position bottom left of the graph, DCS has its central position in the centre of the graphic - so thinking if I replicate the movement I see in DCS into something similar in OT, then reset the DCS curves I should get roughly the same movement.

Apologies - will look into recording a track and posting it shortly!

Oh my! Not sure how that translates into the curves seen above - what differentiates between looking down slowly and looking up quicker?

Hi @MAXsenna - many thanks for that - as a test will 'default' the in game settings and have a ganders at yours and see how it compares. @Hiob - completely agree - I would rather set the pre-game software and leave DCS all alone - but just seemed easier to tune DCS. Next question - but what does the asymmetric tracking do compared with the top graph curve - are they just different views of the same thing?

OK - so stopped faffing with the OpenTrack curves. Reset them all back to default, re-calibrated the Delanclip and adjusted the curves in the axis tuning settings in DCS. Things seem to be ok(ish) - just need to fine tune/tweak it now, and re-learn how to land with tracking active!!!

Thanks for that @MAXsenna. So far tuned 'Yaw' - what I have noticed is that at max 'look back' the image flickers in game - as if I'm on the edge of what I can view - so not sure how to stop that happening?

Hi All - after some advice/assistance if possible? Complete novice/newbie with headtracking - and have just purchased DelanClip (awesome turnaround by the way - ordered Wednesday night - received Saturday morning) and have set the camera up and installed OpenTrack. Am now following this guide (A complete guide to set up Head-tracking (Opentrack) - Hardware, Software and Controllers - IL-2 Sturmovik Forum) to calibrate and set curves etc, but also notice you can set curves within DCS. Question is - what is the better way to set up for DCS, set the curves in OpenTrack, curves in DCS or a combination of both?

Just been 'back in' for an hour or so. Set up a simple navex in the Caucasus between 4 airbases, frequencies of 131, 133, 134 and 132 (to make it easy). Tried setting them in Pre-set slots 1-4 - no joy. Rolled the wheel up to pre-set slot 20, and worked backwards. Worked 'a little bit better' but still 1, sometimes 2 stations would be dropped. So had 131 set to 17, 133 set to 18, 134 set to 19 and 132 at 20. Mixed results, would select to transmit on 20, then move to select to transmit on 19 and transmit to same airfield as 20. What I did notice, if I did actually send a message then the function selector moves back from 'pre' to 'main', so in order to reselect another pre-set frequency would have to change function again back to 'pre'. Process that appears to work is set function to main, set pre-set, set frequency, load, change pre-set, set frequency, load and so on. Once all frequencies are in set function to pre. And hope it keeps all the pre-sets - more often than not dropping them. UHF appears a lot simpler. Set to Preload, dial in frequency and preset channel. Press load and repeat. Done...

Something I'll have to figure out how to do once asked. Maybe waiting (ignoring it) for the Arc210 upgrade - which I think is replacing the Arc186?

Apologies if reporting a previously acknowledged issue - but couldn't find anything recent on this? Currently cannot use VHF AM or FM presets. From what I gather the (same for VHF AM and FM) process is - Function Selector dial to 'Man', pre-set wheel to '1', dial in frequency, press load; dial in new frequency, pre-set wheel to '2' and so on. Then set Function Selector to 'Pre' and should be able to use the pre-set wheel to select the different 'loaded' frequencies. I work through the frequencies - verifying contact with each station as I dial them in and load them, then when I switch to pre-load it appears to drop all frequencies. Occasionally it might hold onto the latest frequency dialled in, or if I de-select AM then re-select it re-enables comms with Nellis. Am on the Nevada test range, and am trying to pre-set Tanopah, Creech, Groom Lake and Nellis. As an aside was in the Persian Gulf map - dialled in the frequency for Abu Dhabi, detailed inbound and received a reply from Batumi? UHF presets are working fine.

Hi @RavenLeader. People here are awesome at responding and providing help - as you are finding out. I have just built my own PC, after some input from here and elsewhere, as last time I built one was around 8 years ago so had completely lost touch with current standards. To be honest building a PC is not that difficult, and there is plenty of subject matter via google etc. Normally take me around an evening (and a bottle of red!). What it does do is give you a good understanding of how it all goes together - so if things do go wrong you know how it was built. My build was: AMD 5600X Asus X570-f Rog Strix Motherboard 32 GB DDR4 Ram (2 x 16gb) 500GB m2 NVMe boot drive - Windows/Office etc 2TB m2 SSD 'Games' Drive 2TB SSD for photos/editing etc. DVD-RW Optical Drive MSI 3070 GPU 850w Modular PSU BeQuiet 600 Pure Case Always used to use Scan - and have never had problems with them, though for this build went with CCL as their component prices were slightly lower. After doing some research have also just purchased headtracking - and went with the DelanClip due to decent pricing and availability.

Cheers @Frederf. Makes perfect sense. I was starting to think it was pointless trying to put the 'thread through the eye of the needle' when the result was spreadable chaos back out the other side, but couldn't find anything in the manuals - only quite generic references to CR.

After some help if possible. Playing with 2 x CBU 87 and 2 x 97. Set IFFCC to 5 mil in CCIP mode, and 5 mil is shown on the HUD in CCIP mode for the 87, but if I select 97 it shows 3/9. Have switched between 5mil and 3/9 CR modes and this is shown correctly for the 87s, but the 97s stays on 3/9 no matter what I do? Do the 97s default to 3/9 only, and the 87s are selectable?

OK - ignore that. Add it as a switch and not a modifier! Doh!

Hi all. Is there anyway to map the throttle slew 'switch press' so it can be used as a function select button and work off a single press, as opposed to having to hold it down all the time? Currently don't have any head tracking - so have to use one of the POV hats to look around - namely the trim hat. I can map it so if I hold it pressed as a modifier then map the trim hat to view(s) to look around, but this gets cumbersome when then also trying to use the slew to guide the TGP, but cannot figure out how to map it to single click, so if I press it once it swaps the trim hat to 'look around', press it again I return to trim? Edited - HOTAS is Thrustmaster Warthog.

Hi @Fakum - sounds promising? How did the Windows install go? I 'had a moment' after I wiped my drive and then it bluntly refused to re-install. Got it figured in the end. Also found this on the forum: FPS drop linked to drop of GPU usage where is suggests moving your saved game file onto the same drive if you have it on a slower drive. Few other good tips as well.

Odd. Can you select/enable PBO in your BIOS or via Ryzen Master? What is your native screen resolution?

Sorry - missed that! Are you in full screen, deselect vsync?

Crap! Checked the settings and made sure min and max processor power is at 100%? Have you tried increasing settings in DCS and seeing what happens? What NvCP settings are you using - default? I have just re-installed Windows etc - and my fps is also 'down' on what it was.

Try selecting 'Start' , 'Settings', 'System' and then 'Power and Sleep'. Right hand side 'Additional Power Settings' then select 'High Performance'.

Yeah - always install AV/Norton - never really given it much thought to be honest. Not sure whether activation/deactivation is a thing anymore - certainly not bothered personally and all is well? Got around to setting Advanced Power back to high - stutters gone again - so certainly on my PC it does appear power related. Will try the multiplane thing in due course and see if it makes any difference.

Hi @Fakum. So - unhappy with the things went - resolved myself to do another re-install - so had a play. Set Advanced Power settings onto High - as per previous posts. NVCP all at default. Selected PBO to enabled over auto in BIOS (AMD Setting on an X570 MB) and memory set to AMD DOCP(XMP). No real difference - maybe around an additional 10fps. Installed MSI Afterburner - which allows you to overclock your MSI GPU. Re-installed MSI Dragon Center - and set the user scenario back to Performance. Checked Afterburner, and finally saw a change in that it had overclocked my GPU (without my permission - how rude!), and I also now had an 'Ultimate' selection back in the advanced power settings. Following that wiped the drive (again) - re-installed windows, installed drivers, updated Windows, installed Norton, then installed DCS - separate M2 SSD drive. Changed no settings. So power settings on balanced, NVCP on stock - ran it - in whatever mode it found itself - stutters. Went full window - same. Haven't played around with any settings yet - but basically a fresh install of everything makes no difference. So at least we have a base line in that a very fresh install makes no difference to a balanced system. Memory is still on DOCP. Next step is to play with windows power settings, and bang it back up to high then see what happens. Hopefully reduce the stutter. Regardless of what other posts say, running MFAA and SSAA ingame settings in tandem does appear to make a difference - I have found 2x MF and 2x SS reduces the building shimmer to be un-noticeable. No doubt more to follow...
