Thanks for the reply. On my end the flickering does seem to be coming from the clouds, sun, cockpit reflections - no ground objects are doing it as far as I can tell. In the past, I've found that if I wait long enough someone finds a fix or a patch resolves it.

Hopefully, someone will find a solution. I tried messing around with different bit settings in Nvidia Inspector but I could find any that fixed the issue. I know there are other using SLI still and I'm not in the market for a new card right now.

I use Nvidia Inspector to get full usage of both my cards but since the 2.7 update I now have extreme screen flickering. If I revert to global settings it goes away but so does my full usage of both graphics cards in SLI and my FPS plummets. Anyone figured out a fix for this? I had been using this guy's guide to getting SLI to work in DCS but it needs an update now that 2.7 is out.

I have the same problem now in 2.7 with SLI. Extremely bad flickering. I tried adjusting things settings with nVidia Inspector (which has been the only way I get fully SLI output) but it does seem to matter - flickering remains like a disco ball.

Thanks for the reply. That certainly fits my situation it seems. I am waiting on a new video card (GTX 1070) so with any luck that will fix my issue. For the time being, shutting down DCS and loading it back up will have to suffice. At least with the new M.2 drive everything certainly loads much faster now.

Post OB update and I still have this same issue. I just reformatted my computer and now have everything on an m.2 drive. Reinstalled nVidia drivers, etc. Same problem as before though - 1st flight in the sim has great frames down low, hit fly again and that flight has reduced fps and stutters.

Thanks for the reply. I was hesitant to call it that, but it certainly seems like that might be the culprit on my end.

I've tried everything I can think of at this point and I have been testing this with the same simple mission in Normandy using the Mig-29A. The first flight is really nice, smooth, down low, over cities, and everything stays in the mid 40 FPS range. Once I get back out and hit fly again though the next flight has a significant FPS drop (down into the teens) with stuttering. I've deleted the saved games fxo and meta shaders folders and tried mess around with in game and nVidia settings but the problem persists unless I restart my whole system - and again I only get one good flight in. Does anyone have any advice?? I already have a paging file set up 32gb of virtual.

Agreed. Will the DCS' Supercarrier automatically turn into the wind when launching and recovering aircraft??? Seems like that should be a standard feature.

I am having the same issue with a progressive fps loss but not with any particular aircraft. I start out with good fps and then after about 20 minutes of flying around will have eventually dropped down into the low teens. I have the latest nVidia drivers installed (445.87).

We really need a combat mix option. I've done a few test runs now. BMP-2s are very hard to kill - requires a very high angle of attack at close range. Anything above them - all tanks and BMP-3s are pretty much unkillable with the this ammo load-out. ZSU-23s and APC-80 can be killed though. Will a combat mix be available?? - there are plenty of articles about AP / DU rounds being used in the past on USMC Harriers: - 13:30 mi AP/DU talked about. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/pgu-20.htm M791 APDS-T would be nice: http://www.alternatewars.com/BBOW/Weapons/AFV_Guns/OATK_25x137mm_Ammo.pdf

Okay thanks. Its looking more like some kind of hardware conflict for me related to Track IR running the background potentially. If my TIR is in "paused mode" before entering the ME then my monitor won't freeze, ie go to a black screen.

To be clear. There is no crash log (no CTD at all) recorded because the program is still running apparently. I can hear the music but the screen goes black and I cannot get back to Windows. This only happens while I'm in the ME. No mods, vanilla OB install. Clean up/ repair ran, problem persists.

I'm getting lots of system crashes while attempting to use the mission editor in Open Beta. The sim freezes in the ME and then my monitor just goes black and I'm unable to Alt+tab out of the sim. I have to completely reboot my computer. Anyone else seeing this?

I'm not sure if this is just for the AV8B but I've noticed the cannon no long will damage armor. This includes an few SA-11 launchers and BMP-2 I was gunning today. Anyone else seeing this in Open Beta???

Thanks for the update Wags. I appreciate the continued communication from ED and all the team's efforts. I'm disappointed that the Viper is on the back burner for now but in the end that's fine - its still a lot of fun to fly. ED's work continues to impress me, as do the work of several of the 3rd party developers. I generally buy it all in an effort to support the organization and the hobby. As for the hornet, I'm more for getting the flight model and all the sensors functioning first (ATFLIR especially) but as an engineer I understand that other things can get implemented from other teams that are bonus items and they may not effect the timelines of core part of the F/A-18C's development. Keep up the good work and commo. Many thanks!!!

Vegas Easter Egg Coming into land at Creech after a successful CAP, as I put my gear down it triggered an Easter Egg = Left MFD turned into a slot machine display spinning to three cherries. Kind of threw off my overhead break haha but I got it down safely. Great job ED, glad to see the developers are having fun! Loving the Viper!!!

There is, alittle tedious but not too hard. Make a copy of the CMDS_ALE47 file located here: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\TEWS\device. Then modify it to release your chaff flare count preference (use notepad ++ for your own sanity) and paste it back in the same location. I set this up so program 1 release 3 flare in quick and then program 5 does the same for chaff and then bound them on my HOTAS. You'll have to replace the file every-time the sim gets an update. I image there is a way to do this with a mod manager too.

No worries, glad your tracking it and I love the product overall. Thanks for the reply.

With all the new updates to the Viggen, I just reinstalled it for DCS Beta; planning to get back into it. Unfortunately unless I keep the 'Textures' setting in the options menu on HIGH, I get very low cockpit texture resolutions. They are especially bad on any of the rotary dials. For now I can use the high setting on but doing so does a number on my frame rate. I downloaded the english cockpit mod to see if it would fix the issue but it didn't. The picture I'm attaching is with the Texture settings on Medium. Anybody got this one?

Fixed the problem. Online play doesn't like me overclocking my CPU. Not sure why though, the sim runs fine in single player with no micro pauses and with me using E-LEET software to ramp up the CPU a bit. Not so much with multiplayer.

Everything appears to be up to date driver wise.

I get micro stutters only during multiplayer every 5 to 10 seconds when connected to someone hosting, I also warp badly to others. Ping does not seem to matter (most were below 80). If I host a mission, I apparently still warp and others get micro stutters. I tested this problem this evening and thus far it is not related to Windows firewall or my in game options: I had everything on low and was still getting stutters while in multiplayer. I do not have this problem in single player at all (very smooth). I am happy to try any advice on a fix. I have never had this problem with DCS thus far.

Just wanted to report that after following the two posts below my performance has much improved. First, I found out what was causing my crashes. The patch before the latest apparently did not like the amount I was overclocking my video card which was causing my CTD headaches. The sim would crash every-time after the first time I would power up my system. After pulling back my MSI overclocking settings a little it no longer crashes. My appologies to ED's bug reporting system monitors. You probably have about 100 automatic crash logs from me. Next, I wanted to see if the two posts below would help my system at all with FPS and latency. I installed Process Lasso (never heard of it until now), followed the PDF, and cleaned out my saved games folder. Mind you, I did all this one at a time between testing the sim for gains to see what worked best. Before, while over cities and forests etc, the sim would drop down to 20-30 fps and stuttering would increase a bit. Changes combined, the sim is running stable for me now between 40-60 fps. V-sync is OFF, because it causes stuttering for me: the GPU spikes (the graph looks like a heart attack in progress) and V-sync off the sim runs much smoother with GPU usage max and level at 99%. Latency has been reduced. Almost all my settings are on high, see below for my ingame and Nvidia settings. If you have a older rig (my processor and mobo are 8 years old now), I highly recommend the posts below. Many thanks to Sham and Bitmaster! :thumbup:

Outstanding! If the F-5E requires the finger lifts to be raised in order for the engines to get to afterburner then I'm very much in favor of this feature being implemented.
