I am having similar sudden HUGE fps drops that almost not recover, or sometimes take a while to recover. The FPS nosedive to 12/slideshow level. When our group spawns an Apache, my FPS tanks. But that is not always the reason. Am flying on our group's NTTR map and sometimes also get CPU-bound 2-msec messages while looking around with Open-XR FPS overlay switched on. I am also trying to see if I can find a tool that helps me diagnose and understand my FPS usage. Am not 100% sure it is DCS that is causing it. Maybe something else in the PC is messing things up for me. I have been tweaking a lot the last few weeks since I was also getting unexplained server disconnects, which got the ball rolling. Very curious if somebody found a working solution.

So while sitting in a hog on our server doing nothing for a while (was monitoring network stability) I noticed that my FPS slowly started dropping down to about 11 and it stayed there. I checked my monitoring tool and noticed this strange pattern where my frametimes slowly increased, while I was not doing anything in the sim. See attached screenshot. I disconnected from the server and went back to the server list, but the VR performance stayed bad also in the multiplayer screen. I would assume that it would drop back to normal, but only when I fully backed out of the server list to the DCS main screen my FPS and frametimes restored back to normal. Anybody have any idea what is going on there?

Great work! @nikoel might be nice to add this to your first posting?

Inside the G2 I only manage AAR without NVG's when I crank up the gamma.

Great!

Where can I find this setting? Would like to try myself as well.

Indeed, fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

ahh okay got it. thanks

Please share a bit more information on how to actually do this. Have never edited lua's before. Are they overwritten during OB patches? Thanks,

Hi, I understand the clock and the radio preset indicator should be connected to the flight instruments lights dial, but they are not? During night ops these two items shine very bright, while everything else can be tuned down nicely. Especially very noticeable in VR night ops. Posted it last year in the wishlist:

Hi I haven't seen it yet in any OB patch if I am correct. Any ETA? Thanks!

Within the latest Stable update there was a HOTAS shortcut included for Ready Precontact. Could there also be a shortcut be included for 'Approaching for Refuel' and possibly 'Abort Refuel'? This way all Tanker comms can be done with the HOTAS. Thanks,

It is somewhat possible, just for a little bit. Switch external camera and move it to free camera and move the camera towards the helmet. F2 view shows the pilot body.

Am going to run the Albedo only part with OXR. Any other parts of the Shader mod or other visual improvement mods worth adding on top? Haven't played yet with the new settings in the OXR Toolkit.

So OXR and a stripped down shader mod just for Albedo SS? Is that working?

I notice that when I go to external view and come back into the cockpit(A-10CII) while enroute the cockpit volume has dropped down a lot.

Yes I am running the same texture settings. Increasing either one brings a big hit to performance and not so much of a visual gain. Dialed the OXRDT down to 70% and have MSAA 4x.

Yes, I had a similar experience with OXR. I sometimes use DCS's own detailed FPS counter. Will make some screenshots of the differences with the mod enabled/disabled.

Hi a couple of years ago the LOLA area received a third leg extended, running N-S with 11 Sun-shaded parking spots, see below. Would it be possible to add this to the map?

Great! Am already using this for my 2 cores. Will add the third to see what it does and hopefully it pulls me out of my current Multiplayer stutter-techno-party back into the daylight.

I had the same issue on our MP server. Fps went below 9 and did not recover. In SP it is all good. Tried the MP server before the squadrons were flying and it was still okay.

The OBS plugin is working for me, but only when Upscaling is turned off. Otherwise it leaks memory. You have to change the Mirror setting to 'enabled' in the .ini

So I switch it on and all I get is this color changing box with unreadable text just out of my field of clear view, high up on my left eye only. Any way of adjusting the position/size that you know?

I was not streaming, but I was recording. You advised me before to reach out to the devs about OBS, which I did. I have it working, but only when I have upscaling switched off. CPU/GPU is not taking much of a hit when recording.

With metrics you mean the 'Display frame timing overlay'? Will follow your steps. Makes sense. Thank you
