  1. Nice helpful list! Some of the items work the other way around for me though. Recommend running baseline tests before and after each change and keep a log of all the changes with their impact on your performance. I have also spend months aiming to get the best out of my system. Did you take a look at my list of changes? There might be some items in there you might like to add.
  2. Nice! Have you considered/looked into CapFrameX? I used to perform the Excel calculations before as well using various tools to record, export and analyze. I found that https://www.capframex.com/ is way easier to quickly get to useable visual data and to quickly compare settings. No more exporting, importing, manual stuff, no more Excel wizardry needed. Just run the game and use hotkeys to start/end the log recordings, add titles/descriptions to the recording tracks and voila. I think it will save you a lot of time going forward and I assume it will have most of what you are looking for. I have used it 500+ times in my quest to silence Windows, stabilize my rig and get the most performance out of the hardware, testing all setttings and scenario's I could imagine and stuff I found online, I still use it to test the effects of updates or setting changes. You can find some decent examples of this tool in the postings of my thread (don't want to self plug). I also use XRFrameTools, but mostly to get realtime visualization of stability and get direct feedback of things I change on the fly. I now only use Excel to keep track of all the changes I make (either by for example DCS updates, driver updates or me tweaking something); with each change I create a log entry and log the frametimes etc. This ends up in one chart to show historically how my frametimes are improving or degrading with changes. It also is great to lookup stuff I have tested. Hope it is of any help!
  3. Walk back the update? I frequently also have updates messing things up. If it works don't touch it if you don't have to
  4. Hi I try to keep the first posting in this thread updated, I also added graphs where you can see the items that gave my system the biggest improvements. Of course your miles may vary. I did not use Atlas or any other preconfigured/debloated install because I wanted to decide for myself which functionality I disable and I wanted to stay in control. The end-result may be similar, I am not sure. I have seen some videos on comparing installs like Atlas and tbh was not regretting I went the long route. Whenever there are new thoughts or things to try I will add them to this thread and once in a while I will update the original posting with a list of my most recent changes.
  5. Nice one! Looking forward to the pilot body for a long time! Would be great to get additional visual improvements from within the helmet like moveable visor, the overlay of the visor and maybe some additional symbology.
  6. Mouse Polling Rate Checked the polling rate of my mouse and thought it was still set to the lowest when I configured it last December. But somehow it was restored to its original 1.000Hz. Readjusted it to the lowest value. Logitech G Hub needs to be removed again, but will have to see what that does to the polling rate. https://www.clickspeedtester.com/mouse-polling-rate-checker/ Thanks @GPatricks for sharing the link!
  7. Good it helped! With regards to what should be realistic; I once saw/heard a comment somewhere that IRL you look on top of the dash/UFC and should be able to see some screws/bolts or something like that. Can look it up but would take a bit of digging. I did not bother since I just move the chair to where I like it. I don't like bending forward and look up to peek into the hud, I much rather just have it lined up when I am sitting straight. Call me lazy
  8. Set a Hotas binding to your seat elevator. I lift the seat up at startup and before take off just high enough so I can see the compass bar above the metal frame of the front dash. During flight I sometimes just adjust it if needed, but rarely have to adjust. This way I have the best possible view of the HUD. I VR recenter when needed.
  9. Hi all is well Busy with some work stuff. Moving to a 9800X3D is a good move, you can never have enough cpu power in the current period. If you have to update your system board as well make sure you have good compatibility so you can do some little overclocking to get the most out of your system.
  10. I don't see my rig getting the same improvements as in this video, will hold out for more data.
  11. This is how I did it with (with W10). It really took me a long time to get the new install fully working again with all the various apps and configurations to my liking. If needed I could step back into the old install, which I did a bunch of times. With the dual boot you can take your time.
  12. I have installed a fresh W10 on another SSD and copied my DCS also to another SSD. The new setup is working fine and if needed I can still change back to the old setup by booting into it. All still works. One I am absolutley certain I have everything I need in my new install I will scrap the old, or maybe I will just keep it around in case of emergency.
