I can confirm that issue is still present on my rig after last update.

Community appreciate engagement and effort you put on answering and discussing. Regards

@Calvin.Pimax @MissionCMDR thank you for advices. After a long period of testing how different settings affect quality and performance, I found that DCS settings themselves don’t have a big impact on performance. In my case, VRAM seems to be important limiting factor. - I set DCS textures to medium and shadows to medium. - I slightly increased the Image Quality in Pimax Play and found a good balance at IQ = 0.65. Interestingly, IQ = 0.65 + DLSS (Performance) + 120Hz performs and looks better than 90Hz (Upscale) + IQ = 0.95 without DLSS in my case. - Fixed foveated rendering is off; quad view gave me a maximum of about 2 FPS, same with Pimax Priority Central Rendering. I turned those off. - Smart Smoothing caused occasional flashes of large bright triangles, so that’s off as well. - “Lock to half framerate” is currently off, but I manually limited FPS in DCS to 60, since I often adjust that slider to test how high I can go and under what circumstances. 60 works fine as a lowest limit and is accurate to 120Hz of display. - Sharpness in Pimax Play set to maximum, in DCS to zero. I have noticed influence on quality - too much of sharpening doubled by different app is simply too much. I can't explain that after change of some settings, in DCS or Pimax, game restart wasn't enough. I needed to reboot PC to see actual impact, I have noticed it accidentally. Now everything is smooth and clear. At high altitudes I can reach around 85 FPS, and on the ground around 60 FPS, but I prefer stable FPS over high FPS.

I am as disappointed as I can legally express by the previous “2025 and beyond” trailer, which featured so much Eurofighter footage. After that trailer was released, we had ZERO news throughout the entire year of 2025. ED, please do NOT show any Eurofighter content from Heatblur unless it is truly right around the corner. The dynamic campaign was also used as a highlight in the 2025 trailer, just like the Eurofighter, and we haven't received either of them in DCS. There is no need to comment on this; the facts speak for themselves.

I have just received my PCL and it is my first VR ever. I have got some doubts regarding performance vs hardware. There are many youtube videos, tutorials, even on Pimax site, and I would like to ask somebody who own PCL if I am optimize settings right. My setup: AMD 7800X3D Gigabyte RTX 4070 Super 64 GB RAM DDR5 SSD 2TB Windows 11 Home, latest chipset for AMD, latest Nvidia driver. DCS Settings: Textures High Terrain Textures High Antialiasing DLAA DLSS - balanced or performance Shadows Medium Water Low Vis Range Medium All rest OFF / Disable VR Settings in DCS - Pixel Density 1.0, (Quad View ON - only if quad view in Pimax is also set) Pimax Play configured: Refresh rate 120Hz - tried other setting, 120 feel the best FOV Normal Image Quality Auto - btw, does auto mean 0.60 all time ? Fixed Foveated Rendering Quad views Customized 45% 45% 100% 25% Pimax Central Priority Rendering - OFF or Performance Smart Smoothing ON Lock to Half Framerate OFF Hidden Area Mask ON Vive Compatibility OFF Sometimes I turn Quad view OFF and turn Pimax Central Priority Rendering ON, similar results. Sometimes I play with Image Quality Customized - increase it or decrease. Nvidia Control Panel optimazed for DCS - maximum performance set, DLSS Preset K with DLSS Swaper for DCS, FPS limit OFF Results: DCS FPS counter gives me smooth view and 50-60 FPS constant, FPS feel like over 100 due to Smart Smoothing ON. when I turn OFF smart smoothing there is much stutters and FPS spikes, with FPS increase to nearly 70. Best results I achieve when FPS limit is set right below the max number of my PC can get - around 60. I tried Quad Views Companion with PimaxXR and it gave me worst performance even I set "I want FPS". I have doubts if it is everything I can get from PCL on my configuration, I saw youtbue videos that people on RTX3080 or native 4070 have more FPS than I do. The problem is that I would like to have Image Quality 1.0 and reasonable, higher FFV but I got then 30 FPS, and even smart smoothing can't make it playable. I will appreciate every sugestion to achieve better quality to peeformance ratio.

Really ? I will need to buy one. My Wingwing set is overrated then.

Is it coincidence that Western Germany outperforms the Eastern in relation to Cold War era ? Maybe it is not a bug but a feature, it is the symbol of realism

Stick limiter in DCS is a feature to limit your movement of stick to a certain point. In real life at this point the pilot feel rapid force increase, and can overcome this limit to full stick deflection with additional force. Position of this "limiter" depends on more parameters than simple AoA. I can't remember if it is AoA+Mach number/airspeed or more. In DCS you can switch it off while pressing Stick Limiter button in settings-controls.

This is comm radio panel. In real life ADF can be used as antenna and as nav beacon. With antenna you can hear modulated voice/sound on that frequency. With beacon mode you receive bearing (heading) to the beacon. Above is IRL.

German and Poland have used MiG29 in English/Imperial and that is the reason MiG29 could be considered metric/imperial. If some of you provide thr proof that F-15C MSIP was ever used in metric then this request makes sense.

Same here.

In real life you can deploy chute in air. I will check if it works in DCS, if not, it's a bug.

Worldwide rule is to: 1. Turn on taxi light when aircraft is intended to move for taxi, turn it off during stops, while waiting without move. Turn it off also while taking parking stand in order to save marshallers eyes. 2. Turn on landing lights right after you hear the clearence for take off, it shows everyone else that you will take off. During approach, turning on landing lights usually depends on procedures of particular aircraft. For example on civil soviet aircrafts they turn on landing lights at about 120 m (I hope I still remember good value) height or right after getting landing clearence whichever first (Tu-154M, Yak-40).

Same issue reported.

@HUZARN If you expect the professional approach from developers, write a professional and clear message, everyone will respect it. You have described a turn from 700kmh airspeed and 35-40 deg but it mean precisely nothing for aerodynamics nor flight manuals. Take a look at MiG29 Flight Manual book of your colleague, take a look at Practical Aerodynamics of MiG-29 book (Russian language only), analyze the diagrams and let us know what is wrong with DCS model. You could use your friend-pilot flight data from real flight and compare with DCS flight data. Real MiG29 flight data was several times compared with DCS - it happened on this sub-forum for Russian language discussion.

Zooming works fine to me. Maybe check your control settings, sometimes more than one axis is assigned to zoom or button is pressed for slow zooming or (quick) zooming. I have been using cockpit zooming through all time with new MiG29 and I had no issue.

Yep, that thing. Thanks for screenshot for devs.

+1 I could add another issue regarding chute drop So after normal chute drop, part of the chute cartrige is hidden a few meters behind the airplane and under ground. It jumps over the ground and become visible while braking (when nose kneel during braking). Dev should make it not visible.

@BIGNEWY @NineLine Eagle Dynamics thank you so much for all work with 29, I am delighted and satisfied with early access release and I want to let you know that it is a pleasure to have fun with this product. Best Regards !!! (Even we will point some early age bugs please note we appreciate the Fulcrum anyway)

I do confirm. I am unable to show it up.

I just meant that Mirage 2000C is flyable, but it will not be with some future updates of DCS core. I didn't look that way, but I just hope for 2000-5 in DCS.

+1 Mirage 2000C is my favourite FF machine in DCS, but I would be really interested in Mirage 2000-5, which is more capable and modern than C. BTW. RAZBAM stopped F-15E and ED started F-15C, so maybe as Mirage 2000C support is finished, maybe ED will be convinced about 2000-5. Regards, Mat

My favourite F16 skin work ever. Wonderful weathering effects. Respect @Ala12Rv-watermanpc !
