It's not only the power saving, but the thousands of interrupt requests that service generates. It is a prime example of how not gaming optimized Windows is....

you may have a bigger range of detection in pitch but I have never felt the need to replace the passive clip. Just works for me….

If I had a christmas wish free from ED, I would wish for a makeover. Just visuals and maybe sound.

...if only I had a dime for any YT video with "changed forever" in the title...... clickbait should be outlawed..... seriously. Not only for creators but also for media in general..... (let me dream of Utopia, will'ya...)

...I might add, that the Viggen is one of the few DCS Aircraft I own but absolutely never fly (so is the hornet by the way). Don't ask me why. So take my opinion bout it with a grain of salt. I absolutely use the living daylight out of the Mi-8 though.....

No, not really. The Viggen has a very particular non-Nato interface. The Mirage even though french and distinct from US jets is still much closer to them than the Viggen (IMHO!!!). Apart from that, the F1 is a nimble, light fighter with ground attack capabilites, whereas the Viggen is an penetrator kind ground attack first and foremost. I don't have anything against the Viggen, but I think it is the most distinct aircraft we have in DCS - for better or worse.

I had (have) the Index. It is good, but too cumbersome to use (compared to a Q3). Lighthouses, cables - all of that stuff. However it worked very well with Steam. The Frame adresses most if not all of the issues I had with the Index. And the main advantage: It is Valve not Meta. Only disappointment for me is that it doesn't feature (Micro-)OLED displays. But personally I'm even more interested in the new Steam Machine. When the price is reasonable I will probably make it a Living Room TV gaming device. (Substitute for a Playstation that I never use anyway)

you might be one of the youngest! When I was your age I played MS FS which looked like this: 50 now..... we really came a long way.....

Do you have the control lights enabled? Sounds to me that either you loose tracking when moving to far from line of sight (one of the lights will go dark) or what razor said….

I use the standard passive clip as well. No need to hassle with charging or battery. Always works great. I have the camera straight in front of me on the top of my TV on the same level as my cap is when I look straight ahead (cockpit and real live, it is pointed directly at it. I found that gives me the biggest range of motion before loosing track.

Thanks, now this is stuck in my head….. …and somehow forms a medley with “unknown stuntmen” ….

I absolutely love it! Two questions however: You used some time acceleration for showcase, right? Or can we expect actual fast cloud movement with winds? Does it properly sync in multiplayer? (Both/all parties need the mod of course)

Electric Jet - Viper Steam Gauges - Mirage F1 Warbird - Corsair Helicopter - Mi-8 (Some are actually close ties. Ask me tomorrow and you may get a slightly different list) I love different Aircraft for different traits and the mood of the day determines my company.

I got some basic 2.5" Sata SSDs. I don't think you necessarily need the fastest PCI4/5 M2 SSds for a good experience. As long as it isn't an 'ol spinning HDD.... Saved games / OS and DCS are on fast NVME SSDs though.....

I have two dedicated 2 TB SSds for flightsims. One for DCS and one for "the other". But since "the other" moved to streaming with the 2024 version (which seem to work well for me), I got some headroom for DCS. Friendly reminder to whom it may concern. SSDs shouldn't be filled to the brim. 75% max at best...... otherwise they will age fast (wear leveling etc....) ...and get slow....

Is there a spot of bright sunligjht somewhere behind you? that can throw off the tracking. Otherwise the only idea I have it to make sure that the reflectors or IR-Leds are properly aligned with the camera..... Are you using an active head piece with IR leds? Maybe one is broken..... or battery is dying....

just giving options. No judgements. I myself, would upgrade storage of course.....

@Europa there are ways to deal with that. Like Symlink or Virtual Drives (both functions of windows). But ultimately you need the physical storage (preferable SSD) for DCS.

What happens when you press the re-center in the TrackIR control screen? Still doesn't properly center?

Uninstall maps. Otherwise - no. ...and it will further increase in size with new maps and modules incoming. So either skip some of that or live with the storage needs.

That’s exactly the point. I can think of a list of things I’d like to have in DCS that is longer than a Germanistic student’s thesis, but it is all about priorities. Not mine mind you, or yours, but what is important and suitable for DCS as ED seems fit.

I know. But taking apart theories can also be interesting. I’d argue that for most helicopter it is impossible even theoretically. Other than fixed wing aircraft, helicopter are very limited in regards to speed (and I don’t mean by power or by run up, but by the blades going super sonic) and g-forces. To successfully do a loop you will probably run of one or the other or both.

Very theoretically, yes. In practice - no. There is a reason that a Bo-105 is used by Red Bull for stunt flying. It is light and sufficiently fast and powerful. But most importantly it has a rigid rotor head. And despite that, it still burns through spare parts at an alarming rate. A Robinson e.g. will never reach sufficient speed, nor has it enough power to ever do a successful looping. Others may get there once, but will be a case for heavy maintenance afterwards.

Then you probably can’t really tell if the TADS has an impact (which it has). You just happen to stay over the threshold for v-sync to step down. Any evaluation of performance impacts should be done without any fps locks in effect (like v-sync or fps caps). Otherwise it’s pointless.

Bin mit nicht sicher ob das funktioniert, wenn hotplug deaktiviert ist. Werde ich mal probieren!
