  1. I checked out your suggestion of DAP settings and it will decrease the size but only by a few percent. Still the image overlays a lot of the cockpit area. I guess this is a VR issue where the image is too close to the users point of view.
  2. I am using a Vive Pro ( 1 ) and seeing a very large IHADSS image, picture doesn’t show the size as in headset. looking at the image on the screen it looks ok but through the headset it imposes over the helicopter and larger then the monocle. Any news needed settings or work arounds.
  3. I am planning on upgrading my system soon going for a RTX4090, here’s my thoughts. my current system if 4 years old and has a ton of programs with a bunch of Steam stuff. I have a lot of configuration of DCS, Voice attack, pedal software to redo. I have a long list of programs that I need to reload and configure, find and redo software user keys. So I am heavily thinking to go with AMD 7000 series to not have to go through this anytime soon. how great would it be to just drop in a newer CPU without all the hassle of configuring a new system To save a little for a outdated platform that needs to be completely replaced in the next update is just not worth it to me, plus all the hours and work to setup and get working again,
  4. Being a VR user of a mid power system 2080it Vive Pro 1 and trying to get decent fps would be standing on a big soap box jumping up and down if there was a update that would jive me a boost in VR performance. I do appreciate that DCS is moving forward with game improvements but improving game performance would be a huge help to all users.
  5. The 2.8 update cut my fps in half making it almost unplayable for 2080ti with Vive pro that ran ok with 2.7 around 70-90 fps with med to low settings. I am going back to 2.7, would be nice to be able to switch off new weather in 2.8
  6. Thanks for the info. already started the downgrade as above minus the “ @openbeta “ bit, seems to be working
  7. I running a RTX-2080ti with Vive Pro and my fps has dropped almost in half with 2.8. is there a easy way to go back to 2.7 ?
  8. This is one of the better explanations of how CPU’s get bound-up.
  9. This graph means very little, because there is no reference to any specific gaming data. Each game will score differently depending on game, too bad DCS doesn’t get much attention from the hardware testing YouTubers.
  10. If AMD want’s people to adopt the new platform then they should release to 7000 x3d chip now. I don’t want to wait 6 months so I may go for a Intel 13 gen because of cheeper over all cost.
  11. Looks like the CPU is having trouble keeping up. a little optimization could provide a huge boost to fps
  12. This is good info thanks for posting. this will help us all when building up around a new RTX-4090 what percentage of load did your gpu get to.
  13. The next VR improvement will have to be eye tracking where the the rendering is mostly done where the eyes are looking. I don’t see hardware improvements increasing VR fps for sometime over the current offerings.
  14. For those lucky ones that got a 4090 already, the cards seem to be out of stock for now. what is your power supply solution, did you need to upgrade and how much power are you rocking.
  15. I think we need to stay on topic. RTX-4000 series effect on DCS with hardware. This topic is important to DCS users and allowing informative hardware decisions going forward.
  16. How was your CPU doing, was there any CPU headroom. I am reading some issues with the 4090 most likely drivers. crashing in MSFS with some settings.
  17. I am thinking if you are seeing similar performance from 3090 thru 4090 then there must be some bottlenecking, maybe CPU then. It’s important to have a balanced system GPU, CPU, RAM to maximize performance. The new question is how much CPU do you need for a RTX-4090 to become the bottleneck. I don’t want to spend that much on a expensive GPU and have the CPU slow it down, better to push the GPU to its limits.
  18. Ok DDR4 3600 10ns cas 16 64gig @ 190.00 or DDR5 6000 12ns cas 36 32gig @ 229.00
  19. This is a very interesting discussion, unfortunately there is little real world testing. Just seeing how much ram is being used doesn’t tell how that captured ram is actually used or how it effects the performance ( fps ). There are lots of game testing videos in regards to hardware but almost none cover the unique demands of DCS. the best way to tell is to run a system with 32 gig then switch to 64 gig and record the difference on a server load or Syria map. Building a DCS VR system it getting expensive and deciding where to spend to maximize performance is challenging, to get the most out of your investment and not creating a bottleneck holding back overall performance. It’s also easy to over spend building a system for little performance gain. as a side note: i am beginning to think that the computing power needed to run DCS is one reason holding back DCS from becoming more main stream.
  20. I am building a new PC for VR with RTX-4090, not sure on CPU yet still waiting on upcoming reviews for Intel & AMD along with pricing. I guess it’s smart to get all the ram you will need in 2 sticks vs 4 sticks for performance and compatibility. is 32 gigs enough for DCS, have you seen the demand go higher than 32 gigs and will 64 make a difference. Most likely I will go with DDR5. 64 gigs will add a bit more on a already costly build. maybe getting better quality 32 gigs would be money better spent then going for 64 gigs.
  21. The reason for changing radio presets is I am doing the Raven 1 Campaign and they do a lot of switching stations. I just thought it would be easier to just Vaicom. i not able to get Vaicom to switch presets with voice commands, no big deal tho
  22. I have looked in the profile and not sure what the command is to change channels on com1,com2. tried “ select stations (number) as in the profile tried “ select channel ( number ) as in the manual no luck yet any one know the command for selecting radio stations on com1 & com2 i am using easy communication thanks
  23. I fly A/F-18 and would like to use Vaicom to change radio stations on primary and aux. in VR I find it difficult to change station with mouse, they jump around with the mouse. are commands already in Vaicom if not can I add them.
  24. I am a VR user with Viacom, started up Desert Hornet and Viacom stopped working. haven't tried on other missions yet to see if it works. Right after the Mission and I exited back to DCS Viacom started to work. so what's up, Viacom in VR is kind of important.
