NIGHTHAWK1

Just blowing some steam. But like I said - worst Beta I have ever seen -- and only been playing with them for 50 years. Somebody(s) really screwed up with this one. It is nice to add a few new features, DLSS ALSS, voice, etc, but DO NO HARM!!!

Att GEORGE, MT, VR ---- ETC SO MUCH IS FOBARed Never seen such a poor Beta release. So hard to do much of anything. I have read all the post, sure hope DCS/ED fixes things. Very unhappy customer here. I have spent way to much money to see this mess. Might just go back to X-plane?

I just tried to use a howitzer barrage but AI is to stupid to go thru the hole in the concrete border wall. I will give your suggestion a try, although I have never written a script so might be fun to learn something new.

Per title, what can I use to get a convoy to destroy wall or fence and continue to battle zone. They just drive up and down the wall and never get across. Any suggestions??

had same problem, did not keep track.

My VR with Quest 2 problem is slightly different. Hand controllers work, but do not have the green/blue line from fingertip to X, just see the X. Using MT SP. Lines do show up in ST, not MT. When first using 2.9B I would turn off hand controllers and then turn back on and that cured the problem but a few days into the new beta it no longer changes.

Maybe a little off subject. I just committed Fratricide. I launched a Lima trying to get a tank behind a tree. Approaching troops were to close and the lima took out one of my own vehicles. Would be interesting the know what is the minimum safe distance for launching a lima?

I got frustrated with a lot of the preplanned missions and quick star missions. Got shot down right away, start in fog, targets overly defended etc. I just went to the mission editor and simplified some of the missions and renamed them. That made the learning process so much easier. I questioned why they had training missions made so difficult that you couldn't survive unless you were already an expert!!!!!

Sucks in VR, almost unplayable. Typical ER of DCS et all. I cannot get more that 60 fps, lots of stutters, with all settings set low. And I have a I9-12900K with 3090, 64 mb. Waste of my money at this time.

NEVER MIND More experimentation and found out by turning off "shadows" eliminated this problem.

I have a somewhat similar problem. In VR with MT my FPS jump from 60 to 120 back to 60 and then 120, over and over, at about 1 second intervals. Does not seem to affect the picture, only notice FPS change. I912900K, RTX 3090, 64GB ram, Oculus Quest 2, OTT, NvCP If someone wants my settings let me know. I have been adjusting settings since MT came out and so far this is the best with no stuttering and many settings set up high, and a good quality picture. FEdit - F18, Caucuses, instant action, ground practice

Cool video, love the sound track. (Me thinks you have seen too many Vietnam movies) LOL Very Nice.

IMHO Been wanting to say this for a long time - IF DCS/ED spent as much time on improvements as they did on HYPE we would have an amazing game by now.!!

AstonMartin - thank you. did not change anything, but I didn't think it would but was hoping. Again thank you!

I was experience micro-stuttering in VR, so not completely the same, but after testing/changing a lot of settings in both DCS setting, oculus tool tray, and nvidia control panel I found that the biggest effect on stutters is "visibity range" in dcs settings. I changed one thing at a time and this is the one thing that eliminated the stutters by reducing it to "medium". Picture is not as good, but stutters are gone.

To BigNewy: I am in steam. How to I get to DCSopenbeta. I would like to restart DCS and do a slow repair. How do I do that in steam. Will it make a difference in steam. Also, what does Hotfix do? I have never been able to find such options in any of the steam files. I also have stuttering, micro stutters close to ground, I can reduce/eliminate if I turn settings down. I9-12900k. rtx 3090 24GB, 64 gig DDR4-3600 , 2TB SSD, Oculus Quest 2, average 60 FPS in MT VR in most situations. I think I have enough power but think that a clean install might help. Your comments please.

I had an X56 and found that the only thing that worked to get idle/off was to use the keyboard commands. Could not get them to program to the Hotas throttle. I did set two separate switches on the throttle to acts as the idle commands, but no joy with the actual throttle handles.

Arikaj Thank you, but that is way beyond my programing skill level.

This was mostly an experiment in how fast can i get it to go and still have a reasonable quality picture. So sad but true that there is such a trade-off between speed and quality. I to have high hopes for Vulcan (it really helped with X-Plane, but took them a long time to change over). I also hope to see more improvement with MT over the next few months. Of course the developers will just add more features and will just slow everything down again. The usual see saw in programming and sims. Just for fun I cranked up all DCS in game setting to max, dropped FPS to 30 to 60 or so in VR.

This is per Gunfreak request. I will do my best to explain all of this. Feel free to ask questions or even add comments or even suggestions. This is just what I have come up with. First I lauch DCS from my desktop with the Oculus headset on. Steam VR is shut off, Oculus tray tool active. I have an DCS.exe on the desktop. Make by going to program files (x86), steam, steamapps, common, DCS world, bin-mt, highlight DCS.exe and make shortcut to desktop. Prior to launch : Oculus graphic prefernces to = 120Hz, render resolution at 1.2x =372x1872 (do this in the Oculus headset settings) Oculus tray tool: Game settings: SS = 1, OVR - normal, all other are off, default or normal. Power Option: high performance Quest Link: Encoded resolution = 2412, encoded bitrate = 300, encoded dynamic bitrate= default, dynamic bitrate =150, sharpening = auto Via MS settings page (your main computer), gaming, related settings (upper right corner of gaming page) - graphics settings, click --- "hardware acceleration GPU" on Graphics performance prefence, click browse, go to desktop, click DCS.exe and "add" to list, then select options, select "high performance" TASK MANAGER: so far I have to enter TM after the game has started to make this change. If anyone knows how to make this a default at start of game I would love to hear about it. Open TM, go to "details", highlight, DCS, right click will get a menu, click "priority" and set to "realtime or high", (doesn't seem to affect FPS either way, try both) click "affinity" and check mark = all processors. I wish someone from DCS/ED would provide a list of those setting that affect FPS the most in MT, verses those that only affect looks, etc. Good luck to all. And you will need to do what I have been doing for 5 days. trial and error. Turn something on or off, change something, try it. One thing at a time is best and takes a long time, but with luck some of you will also get 90 to 120 FPS in VR with MT (and do not use Marianas for testing, it really kills FPS, somewhat true of NTTR, Caucuses and Syria are the most FPS friendly, I have not tried Channel or Normandy yet.) And remember that I am no expert, I and can handle critic. I have attached a screen shot of my DCS system settings page. One note - on vr page set pixcel rate to 1.0 this seems to really affect frame rate

GunFreak - that is a large request. Give me some time to work up the list, maybe sometime by tomorrow night. I have used/changed/ so many things to get here so I need to list things and then describe what I found out about them. Please be patient. I am not a geek so this is hard to do, just an old man with way to much time on his hands.

Thanks to DCS, ED. and all of the posters on this forum -- I can now get 120 FPS at 7000 Balt in VR with MT. (60 to 90 in the weeds) I think that is amazing. I have spent 5 days tweeking and changing settings of all kinds. It has been a lot of work with many trials and errors to get there. I hope that many of you will do the same and see how great MT is. I9-12900K, RTX3090, 64Gb ram, Oculus Quest 2, steam, most settings in DCS systems on high or close to max, some things off completely. Test bed has been Syrai, free flight, instant action, F/A-18 Hornet, no mods, using oculus tray tool. Finally it is time to go blow things up and stop testing.

THANK YOU

I have watched your video a few times. But - I just do not see some of the steps/target lock, soi changes etc. Any chance you could either do it slower with explanations of each step or do a typed instructions. thank you if you do.

My 2 cents worth. I have been playing around with settings since MT released. I now have 90fps in VR. AMAZING In syria, free flight, instant action, f18, I9-12900k,RTX3090, 64g ram. Edit: Most of my DCS system settings are set to high. Only one question?? I do not want to mess with much so help here would be greatly appreciated. My in pit screens are darker, DDI, UFC, What do I change to get them brighter like before. Yes I have brightness nobs all the way up. It is just one setting in DCS or OTT that might affect this. Any Suggestions?? YES MT is the greatest thing since sliced bread, etc, etc. It is the biggest improvement in a single update that I have ever seen in 30 plus years of flight simming Thank you DCS/ED
