Thanks kksnowbear, Definitely got a 1000w PSU. Intel Core I9 14900k, Raptor Lake MAG Z790 Tomahawk Max Wifi, Chipset Intel Raptor Lake, Southbridge Intel Z790 Corsair 64Gb DDR5, 3000mhz (2x32Gb) Nvidia 4090 graphics card. Hope that helps. thanks

Help please community. Most times I try and fly DCS (F16) my screen goes black and the fans on the PC go to maximum very shortly after starting a flight. Doesn't always happen, I managed to fly the complete free flight Kola mission yesterday and several approaches at the end with no problem whatsoever. Using Logitech X56 Hotas. Sometimes the computer wont start at all, just giving me a black screen even though the PC stack is humming away normally. I swapped the DP plug from the graphics card output and put it in the motherboard and it worked, but woefully slow for flying as I expected. I don't suspect DCS because it randomly does it at other times too, but usually very quckly when it's working hard on DCS. As I said, sometimes it goes very well for a whole flight. Is it possible that all the recent updates have caused a problem in DCS itself? There have been a LOT of huge updates. Corsair iCue won't run and I get a message on the iCue app saying that and Corsair's own advice on how to fix it doesn't work either. It says to do an update, which it won't do because it says there is something already in the folder (well, dohhh of course there is) and it will not let me uninstall it and is just "greyed out" on my uninstaller. So, possibly spurious temperature readout causing prog crash and fans to go to max? Who knows, I don't? I checked the Device Manager at one point and it said that windows had detected a problem and turned off the graphics card (Nvidia 4090). I had not seen that before or after any subsequent failure. I suspect the graphics card but not tech savvy enough to prove it. It started about the end of November and the computer is currently less than six months old. Any ideas please? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm taking it back to the builder this week but any heads up would be appreciated. Many thanks, Lee

Thanks, guys. Sorted. It seems I have a function lock key (by the F12 key) which had accidentally been pressed and turned off. As soon as turned back on, all is as it should be. I also have a separate Fn key. Thanks again. Best rgds Lee

Went to fly today and tried to go to F10 for map view, nothing. Went to F2 to get outside view and up came a volume control slider. The Controls page still shows the "F" buttons bound as I would expect. What's happened please? Thanks in advance.

Sorted, thanks very much.

I git a new computer as my old one wasn't coping at all with all the improvements over the last year or so. I have everything bound properly on my Logitech X56 Rhino but the mini (Thumb) joystick on either the throttle or stick will not do anything at all in the Axis commands. I have been told there may be problems with the X56 recently. Please can you tell me if this is a bug and being worked on? Thanks

No luck there. Anyone got any other ideas pls? Thanks

Thanks, that's what I thought and did. I'll give it another go and see if I missed a step. Thanks again.

I've got a new computer because all the new improvements made over the last year or so totally overwhelmed my old one. I had everything nicely mapped on my Logitech X56 Rhino Hotas. I've got most things back where they belong, but for the life of me, I can't find how to bind the mini joystick to slew the TGP etc. ISTR it was an axis command but I've tried that and it doesn't seem to give me the option. Please can one of our experts tell me where I'm going wrong, what I might have missed and how to fix it? Thanks in anticipation. Rgds to all Lee

Thanks folks. Will await fix and try the work around

Spawning in Free Flight Afghanistan I get a message in both MFDs that says Key stuck in left MFD. Can't clear it. Happens every time.

Need it quicklt, DCS is now unplayable. Thanks

Thanks for the reply Current system not relevant, mI'm looking for a new one but Intel I7 @3.4Ghz, DDR3 24Gb RAM, Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P Board,NVIDIA GTX 1070. As I said, old and creaking. Budget no more than five thousand pounds Currently 3440 x 1440 but monitor can go higher, limited by current system Persian Gulf, Syria, Afghanistan, Kola Peninsula, Caucasus, NTTR, also have Marianas and South Atlantic but not currently installed Not building myself, a local guy is doing so and I have had his products before, top notch. Thanks again for your interest and help.

I've come to the point where my present computer is not performing well enough to run DCS with all the improvements made. For instance, it takes several seconds to roll the F16 through 90 degrees, the program keeps stopping for a couple of seconds to catch up, stutters along and most of all takes about ten minutes to load DCS and a similar time to load up whatever option I've chosen to ly. I'm able to spend a fair bit of money to rectify this. I want to be able to fly with all the sliders fullt to the right, ie maximum fidelity, but don't rteuire VR headset capable. What are you guys using and what could you advise. Thanks in advance. Rgds Lee

Hi guys, Is the latest version running as multi thread or do I still have to go into the folder and run from the mt icon? I ask because I've been out of it for a while and might have missed something Thanks

Thank you so much for your helpful contribution.

Is it going to make it for June 24? Thanks Is it going to make it for June 24? Thanks

Hi folks. Been away for a while and not using DCS. Can you please tell me has multi threading become the default now or must I still find the special multi threading icon in my folder? Thanks and regards Lee

Thanks a lot. Will check them out.

Hi Folks. I have a significant birthday coming up and my lady wishes to buy me something really nice to mark it. I currently have a Rhino X56 Hotas set up. I'm having difficulty with the very fine control required to do AAR in anything i fly. Is it plain hamfistedness on my part or is there a better setup I can get to facilitate this annoying inability to accomplish AAR? Thanks and regards Lee

I stand corrected!

QNH is not the same as RPS. QNH and RPS can be different and usually are in my experience. The QNH as you rightly state is where the altimeter reads the airfield altitude AMSL when sat on the airfield. RPS is the setting one would use whilst poling along low level but outside the airfield environs so that everyone flying around VFR iis using the same pressure setting when not relying on Radalt and is a forecast for the whole area. Makes life easier when GA traffic is flying around using quadrantals! Don't imagine the military stuff these days has much use for RPS anymore what with either flying around high level to get somewhere economically or else tearing around low level and just looking outside making sure not to hit the ground or antyhing in the air Transition level as you correctly say is when one changes from QFE/QNH/RPS to the standard setting 1013mb/29.92inches.

Loved it so far.HAven't tried any of the weapon systems as yet, but I have no problems flying it generally and around the circuit using the units of AOA for circuit work and landing. Good module and I expect it will only get better as did the F16.

My mistake. I'm sure it said HARM.

Thanks!
