In Kyriat Shmona airbase in the Syria map the plattform where you spawn is tilted, so the F-16 will move forward a couple of meters until you can turn on the batteries and apply the brakes.

Tested some more, and the results were bad. Ran my benchmark mission. I made sure to be on the same spot of the map (Syria) and the screenshots were taken almost at the same moment of the mission. DCS 2.9.3. Slow repaired version, no mods. This is MT 2.9.3: I tried 2.9.3 ST version to see if it made some difference. It did, it was way worse: For comparison, this is last Open Beta version, 2.9.2 MT: Something seems to be very broken. Attached diagnostics as requested. dcs.log DxDiag.txt

In my end it somehow seems to be related to the amount of units in the map. When I'm mostly alone on simple missions the improvements in the current version are noticeable, but in more complex scenarios the stutter fest begins. Those screenshots were taken on a populated mission, but without scripting, repetitive triggers, many mods or something you can point the cause at. Frametimes remained low, GPU and CPU usage never reached 100%, yet the mission was unplayable. Disconcerting really. I repaired DCS, updated drivers and removed all mods. Will test again tonight.

OXR Turbo Mode will lock up the game randomly when activating o deactivating. Try again in the main menu and see how it goes. It is incompatible with Oculus ASW, so don't try to have both active at the same time. It will also crash the game if the headset goes into power saving mode (you can fix this by covering the face sensor with a piece of tape) Like @VpR81 suggests, leave pixel density in DCS at 1.0 and change it on the external tools (Oculus Tray Tool in my case). Go to Oculus software and set the resolution slider all the way to the right. You could try limiting your FoV to something like .85 to save some pixels and GPU power. With all that and these settings I'm able to play comfortably with a worse PC than yours (i5 10400 - 3060ti). I also have a Quest 2.

3060ti. It's a strange issue, at least in my case, as the frametimes were almost identical in both situations, and nowhere near a bottleneck. VRAM usage was around 70-80%. Yet with the new patch I now have this horrible stuttering.

There's no point in using Quadviews for a G2 as it doesn't have eye tracking. Normal fixed foveated will produce the same results and it's way easier on your CPU.

This was last night. Same mission, same place on the map (Syria), same units, same settings. Pre patch: Post patch: Very disappointing to be honest.

Exactly this. A simple but not very elegant fix is to cover the sensor with a piece of tape.

I've played last night in Syria and noticed a slight improvement.

For vanilla DCS I'd say a mix of J-11A launching R-77 and MiG-31 armed with R-33s. 31 has a better radar and longer range missiles, but if it comes down to the merge then he is defenseless. J-11A can give you a run for your money in ACM, specially in Ace.

I've just discovered DML and started to use it on my missions. Thank you for your amazing work.

Your reasoning is correct. About the heat, my 3060ti with just a modest undervolt goes down 10C° on average. Mid-range AMD cards like the 7800XT should be similar.

4070 is around 25% faster than a 3070. 4070ti is around 25% faster than a 4070. Then throw the supers in the mix. They don't offer much improvement in raw performance (around 10-15% better than the non-super version), but they have more VRAM. But they're more expensive. Kind of a mess right now.

Nothing. It's a solid card, but it was (until recently) too expensive for the performance it offered (not a great improvement over the 3070 and significantly more expensive). With the recent price cut, it now starts to make sense. As I said, it depends on the price you can get one. At $600 or more, like it was some months ago, it's a bad deal. If you can get one for less than $500, I'd say go for it.

Depends on the price you can get the card you want, but a 4070ti Super would be a nice upgrade for your 2080ti. That's the card I want to replace my 3060ti down the line. This is a personal opinion, but I think the 4xxx cards only make sense from the regular 4070ti onwards. A regular 4070 could work, just avoid the 4060 and 4060ti as these are hot garbage. 3090 would be fantastic, if you can get an used one from a trusted site that will back you up if there is any problem. Your CPU upgrade, well, depends on the missions you're playing. I have a 10400 and for me in SP with not very complex missions, it is enough. For now. If you play MP on a regular basis with complex missions and lots of units, scripts, etc, yeah, you might want to start looking to upgrade your CPU.

You can choose which runway AI takes off from by setting a 6kt ground level wind opposite to the direction of that runway.

External links? Yeah, no.

Please don't buy the 4060ti. In most benchmarks is barely faster than the older 3060ti, and in some high resolution tests it's actually SLOWER than the card it was intended to replace. The extra VRAM on the 16GB model won't help you as the chip doesn't have the raw power to fully utilize that much memory. It's like the old 3060ti 8GB vs 3060 12GB dilemma: the 3060ti was way better in almost every scenario while having less ram. See here:

Right now it's a though decision, as Nevada is dull, and looks and feels older than the newer maps. Sinai looks way better and has the option for naval ops, but the performance isn't good at the moment.

Go to Settings - Gameplay - Improved Spotting Dots - set to Off. Check if that helps.

Super 4xxx cards ended up being meh at best. It depends on at which price can you get the card you want. 4070ti is enough for a Quest 3, as long as you don't try to run at max settings. Those 16GB VRAM are great for DCS at a (reasonable?) price.

Most monitors have an "eye saver mode" (that's how mi Samsung calls it) you can try.

Use the trial program and you can try almost any plane for 2 weeks. Then you can decide if you want to buy it or not.

I might be mistaken, but afaik SAMs take a very long time to get resupplied, like 30 minutes or so.

No problems for me. It's an older plane from a time before fly-by-wire, so if you're used to newer stuff that flies straight like the Hornet or the Viper, you'll have a hard time at first. It has an amazing roll rate, as the real plane was like that. Limit the roll axis to 50-60%. You can also add a 20% curve to make it behave in a more predictable way.
