Wanted to clarify frame rate issues with exporting to MFDs. I have a 144hz 34” ultra wide. A second single monitor that’s 720p60hz. Both plugged into GPU. 3440x2160 overall I’ve read that a 60hz additional display will effectively lower your primary monitor frame rate to 60hz as well? (Despite what the fps counter suggests?) If so, are there any differences in regards to this issue for the usb type vs HDMI type external displays? I’ve tried reducing my primary to 60fps and the frame tearing was terrible. With VSYNC off thanks

Throwing my hat in single external display with all three MFDs on the hornet. Getting the same refresh problems as everyone above. Haven’t tested the viper

Hi all, A group of us recently had some issues hosting a large mission on a server with a capable pc running windows 10 as we got beyond 23-25 players. Those joining after that seemed to get frozen in the loading screen and the server crashed as the number of players approached 28. A repeat of this test (with less people abailable) showed FPS drops for players as we got beyond 20 people but no crashing issues, and again no detectable components of the server or network being over worked. We’ve been told there is a limit to the number of clients beyond 20 or so with windows 10 and we would be better off using a machine running windows server 2019 for high player count missions Can anyone confirm this? Was surprised to see no mention of limitations to number of players in DCS documentation given the server max player limits. And windows 10 is the recommended OS on the dedicated server page. Thanks in advanced for any insight. Billder

Had seen a few of these around the web but most were pretty fugly IMO. this is pretty straightforward, cost me $0 most difficult part is finding the pipe to extend with. This came from an Ike’s lamp I found in the dumpster. OD of the shaft you’re mating to is 13.9mm and it’s gotta fit inside the handle so shoot for under 16.5 OD This steel pipe is common in tents, lamps, shoe racks etc. 15.5 OD 14.5 ID is what I found. I used a pipe cutter to roll a seam into the bottom to make the fit snug I drilled the handle from 14-15.5 mm and actually just melted most of it by heating the tip of the metal pipe. I then potted the extension into place with epoxy on just one side of the handle shell. This locks them together and keeps everything serviceable. The bottom was a snug fit and got epoxy as well everything works great. I eliminated the twist function Enjoy
