Splendid!

Yeah, you still need to tweak the relative gain between different effects and DCS to your individual taste. my work around for now is, once I adjusted everything I try to remember to only use the main windows volume only instead of the ingame audio-sliders. It's tough though, because there are several different occasions (playing alone with or without headphones, playing with somebody on discord, being inside the cockpit or in F2 etc) where I used to just adjust the main volume inside DCS. It's no deal breaker of course. It would just improve creature comfort.

Just an unsolicited appreciation post. I was using the C-101 for IFR training over the weekend (well, it's a trainer, isn't it) and I was reminded (again) what a labor of love this module is. Really flying by the numbers, managing the limited amounts of power while utilizing the superb flight director really is very satisfying. btw. is it still maintained/ in further development?

This is what makes the Rhino so great (with the TelemFFB software). You can have a complete set of effects in any aircraft including force trim on a hardware level if necessary. (I didn’t even notice the Chinook was lacking) Granted, if the sim doesn‘t support proper ffb from the control surfaces on the stick, you are limited to secondary effects. But those very basics are present in most modules. And the creator of Telem really did a phenomenal job in creating a plethora of useful and immersive effects, lots of them customisable in great depth. And he hasn‘t stopped developing new ones so far.

Bonus idea: Make sure wake turbulence is deactivated in the game settings (can be hard on cpu) Also check the frametime graph for what is bottlenecking you. CPU or GPU

Only two suggestions from the top of my head: deactivate the real time protection of your AV while playing DCS (or at least set an exception for all relevant folders). Set up a fixed pagefile size (I‘d suggest 32GB).

Yeah, I had set a 6-14 knots headwind and some turbulence but changing that all to zero didn’t help. Still no ILS beacon.

Good point. I will double check.

Hey, I was about to practice IFR approaches in the C-101CC, but the ILS beacon Rio Grande (109.5) doesn't seem to work. The VOR (117,3) works fine. Of course there's the possibility I did something wrong setting it up in the cockpit, but I think I double checked everything. Can anyone confirm? TY

Just use Altitude hold mode when you want to fly hands off for a prolonged period of time. That‘s what it‘s meant for.

You mean, you can't upload it? Sorry, no idea. So far it always worked for me.

That would pretty much depend on which AV you are running. If it is any other than the default MS defender - my personal opinion - get rid of it. It does more harm than good. (Mainly slows things down and confuse with false positives). The best protection against viruses is staying clear of fishy websites and file sharing. More general advise - when you have a file flagged as suspicious by your AV, upload it to virustotal.com and let it check.

Since you guys are so comfortable with modding your MSFFBs, you are predestinated for the Rhino DIY-Kit. I mean, I know it is still very expensive even as a Kit, but it'll be a BIG improvement over the Sidewinder.

Maybe I'll give it another try eventually. The software really was my biggest gripe. That was some time ago now though. If it has improved that much....

Den DCS Launcher kannst Du ja deaktivieren.

I tried and tested Tobii and eventually stayed with TrackIR. Even though you can improve it with settings, I never got completely rid of a noticable input lag. I didn't like the software (which is amongst other problems pretty heavy on resources compared to TrackIR) and all in all, it didn't improve my experience over TrackIR. The only "issue" with TrackIR, and therefore the main benefit of Tobii (imho) is the additional device on your head or lack thereof. But that really only bothers me when I play alone and don't wear a headset anyway.

Hey, I'd really wish you could couple the main audio gain to the DCS main volume setting. I don't know if ED exports the necessary information, though.

Does it have any active cooling? From the early promo-materials it looked like passive cooling only. Knowing the Rhino, which has similar (almost identical) specs, I have serious doubts about that.

same

Yeah, I‘m using 0.22 for a while now, which repaired some urgent issues regarding changing parameters along the build tree. However, I have some stability and performance issues - So I urgently hope for improvements with the RC.

Well, that's no surprise. Probably needs some time to ripe.

I don't think that is necessary. When you did a slow repair, all DCS files are ok. Do as Max suggested. Just rename the Savegames folder. Another thing is, you could delete the nvidia shader cache, too!

Ahh, confused that. Sorry. Too excited.

That‘s the way! Guys need to fly helicopters more to appreciate the use of power for fine trim. Perhaps a new perspective does help. Imagine flying at a stable attitude (speed and altitude constant). Now change either one, trim or power - what is the result?

Is it released already? I can only find the ".22" build. Do you have a link?
