Any guesses how the upcoming Pimax Crystal will compare to the Aero regarding clarity and fov?

Just my 2 cents regarding the 5800X3D: I recently upgraded to this processor from a 10700k that was clocked at 5ghz and while I didn't do any frame time benchmarks, I can say that I don't really notice any difference between both processors in DCS. Situations that caused some stutters with the 10700k (i.e. large explosions), still cause stuttering with the 5800X3D. However, I don't regret the purchase at all since the 5800X3D has been an absolute game changer in MSFS!

Nevermind… I finally got the WMR software to install after I removed the AMD chipset drivers.

I recently upgraded my CPU from a 10700k to a 5800X3D. However, with the new CPU/Motherboard, I now have the issue that the installation process for the G2/WMR gets stuck on a screen that says "Hang tight while we finish up some downloading" (see screenshot) I already waited for 2 hours and I can see in the task manager that the PC isn't downloading nor writing anything on the SSD. I also already tried a complete re-install of windows but I get stuck during the same point of the WMR set up. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get passed this issue? Feedback is greatly appreciated.

If set to Ultra, they are fine in VR for me. Not good or great but fine. Since the high fidelity 737 came out, I have been playing MSFS more than DCS and while the MSFS clouds look great from a distance, they are horribly pixelated in VR when you're up close to them. Kinda the exact opposite from DCS where the clouds look better up close than from a distance.

Thanks for the reply. I’m currently running a 3090 and while I didn’t do any specific frame time testing, I can tell that the GPU currently isn’t utilized well in DCS just based on that it doesn’t get warm/hot like it does in other taxing games. The thing that bothers me most in DCS VR is not even the fps, it’s the occasional micro stutters that I’m pretty sure are due to my current CPU.

I’m about to pull the trigger on getting the 5800x3D but now I’m unsure if I should wait another month to see if they release a 5900x3D. Can someone make an educated guess if the 5900x3D would make a meaningful difference in DCS vs the 5800x3D? DCS VR is pretty much the only reason why I’m doing this upgrade so I don’t care about compute performance in other applications.

Thanks guys!

Noob question: How can I slew the TGP to the target that I select via GMT radar? The GMT does slew my Mavericks to selected targets but not the TGP like it does in the Hornet. What am I missing?

In VR, I think the clouds look fine as long as you fly during the day. However, if you fly at dusk or dawn they shimmer horribly which is a shame since dusk and dawn usually look the best in DCS…

I have the same issue. For me it happened in multiplayer and twice in the new F18 campaign from BalticDragon. A couple other people also have this issue:

Had the same mission CTD twice. Once during refueling and once during the transit to Haifa. However, I also had a CTD during multiplayer today. I usually don’t have any CTD issues with DCS so 3 crashes in one day were very surprising.

I had the same thing happen whey I first tried this mission. On my 2nd attempt I just flew around the carrier a bit to wait for my wingman to take off. Once he was airborne I proceeded to WP1 and he followed me. Mission went on without any further issues. It's a great mission too!

Kick the rudder shortly before touchdown to get the plane in line with the runway. Crosswind landings are one of my favorite things in DCS

If you own the F14, Heatblur added a mini campaign for this map with the last patch.

It’s up on Steam now

Yeah, I tried LGB attacks against tanks again today and it worked. Not sure what the issue was when I tried it yesterday.

I have the same issue, only for me it’s not limited to bombing buildings or limited to a certain map. None of my LGBs that are dropped on targets (i.e. tanks, buildings) hit anymore when I use the F14 no matter what map I’m on. A couple months ago I spent lots of time using LGBs with Jester and never had an issue hitting targets reliably.

Thank you for the suggestion! Will definitely give this a try.

The problem I have with my G2 is not new but in the last few months it happens on a regular basis: When using the G2 for DCS I sometimes get the issue that the picture in the headset is not stable but moves around without me moving my head. I can fix the issue by clearing the WMR environment data. In the past I had to do this about twice a month but recently I pretty much need to do it every day in order to get rid of the unstable/swimming picture. Is anyone else experiencing this issue and if yes are there any ways to avoid constantly having to delete the environment data?

For me the texture pop in on this map is way worse than on other maps with the same settings. Especially buildings pop in very late which is pretty distracting…

My VR experience on this map: 95% of the map runs fine performance wise but any larger settlement tanks the frame rate hard so that I'm often below the 30fps target for OpenXR MR...not a good experience. The settlements on this map are far smaller than the cities on the Syria map but the performance is far worse. However, when Syria was released the VR performance was pretty bad and Ugra improved it significantly since then, so I'm hoping that Razbam will also be able to improve the performance on this map in the coming months...

Yes it is

In my opinion Heatblur got ACLS working really well now. Always had trouble with the system during the last few months but the last patch did the trick. What I noticed is that the ACLS system now also takes control of the inner and outer spoilers which not only works well but also looks great.
