There is now such thing as engine limited currently in DCS (unless you set the fps limiter of course). DCS will happily run at 240 fps if cpu and gpu allow for it. DCS (when not GPU limited) scales almost linear with cpu clock speed. Well, adjusted for other benefitial factors like cache of course.

That depends on so many factors. Pixel density, how comfortable you are with reprojection, what the actual bottleneck in a given situation is. What you mean with „high“ settings. When you put everything to high (including clouds and view distance and other options that have ultra settings). You will get 90+ fps (in most instances) when you don’t overdo it with the pixels. However, you can bring any hardware to its knees, even a 4090. Put everything to maximum settings, up the pixel density, and turn of reprojection and let the stutter fest begin. The 4090 is powerful (unmatched right now afaik), but is no magic bullet. VR is frickin‘ taxing unfortunately.

Impressive!

True, but I‘m not willing to leave the field to the whiners and haters without expressing opposition!

Make a ticket with the support then and stop bothering us. I couldn’t care less if you get a refund or not.

I think this will happen eventually.

Yeah, that is „Game mode“. Lost in translation. Glad you solved it. Have fun.

Can you make a screenshot of the settings you refer to. I‘m not quite sure what you mean. Is that a steam setting?

Why shouldn’t it? Unlike some members in the forum, the staff at ED act like professionals and keep their cool until there are ACTUAL FACTS to act on.

Steam and stand alone are no different. Look under the gameplay options, first checkbox under difficulty. Or check the mission with the mission editor if it is set there.

Probably. In short, the Mossie acts the same in 2D as it is supposed to do only in VR? Agree?

Yes, but even though. I was able to replicate your problem. All controls are set up and applied correctly as far as I can tell, and still it keeps loosing speed. I‘m out of ideas currently. Have you checked your game settings if game mode is applied? (disable it)

I hope somebody else finds the missing puzzle piece, because right now I can’t find it. The aircraft is in clean configuration boost and rpm show max power settings and still it slows down….. really weird. Sorry for my quick shooting earlier! That’s a good idea. @indalo62, make sure you haven’t put it on game mode. That doesn’t work anymore and is causing problems if anything.

@indalo62 I‘m sorry. You are right. Just took over in your track and flew a bit longer. And even though opening the throttle does help a bit, it still slows down eventually. Haven‘t experienced this outside your track yet. It flies as if it was pulling a drag chute.

As a rule of thumb, whilst take off or landing (or dogfighting) keep the RPMs at max. For cruise reduce them to 2400-2600

Just took a look at your track. Throttle up my guy! You are using the propeller rpm as a throttle and leave the throttle untouched. I think you have a misconception on how those work together. Think of your rpm (propeller pitch) as your gearbox. Low pitch/high rpm = low gear. High pitch/low rpm = high gear. You need the right gear (high rpm if you want to use power) and THEN stump on the gas! aka push the throttle forward. Flying the mosquito (and other warbirds without auto-rpm) is like driving a stick / manual gearbox car!

It‘s hopeless. People just want to wallow in misery. I give up.

Ok, just opened the instant action mission "take-off practise", took off, climbed, flew around a bit and landed. Everything works just fine - so there is no general issue right now that could cause OPs problems. My assumption (until we get a replay track) is, that either there are some double bindings or other reasons, that cause the propeller pitch/rpm to be low; or that the magnetos are switched off (or fuel).

The Mossie flies like any other Warbird. You need to have all the controls set up and applied correctly and learn the takeoff and landing behavior, but it is no more difficult than the others - generally speaking. Without seeing some footage I can only make assumptions. If rpm and manifold pressure are set correctly, check if flaps, undercarriage and bomb doors are stowed. Magnetos are on? Maybe double-bindings on the prop- and throttle controls?

Kann sein, kann aber auch sein, dass jemand einfach zu impulsiv ist. Da wir (nehme ich an) die Leute nicht kennen, bleibt wohl nur abzuwarten was passiert.

Me too!

Can you tell me the Lottery numbers for tonight please? That would be handy! Exactly! to quote myself from a different topic: „Some people just want to throw around negative assumptions just for the faint possibility they can eventually scream "See, told you!"....“ fits perfectly (again, unfortunately)

No, when you use headtracking, you are not limited to snapviews (unless you mean the angle limits that can be set in the server.lua). However in other modules there is a hard limit and you can’t stick your head through the canopy. In the Mossie that limit doesn’t exist and you can quickly find your head outside by accident.
