Question on performance: I have had some performance issues with some servers, despite having reduced graphics settings and a quite high spec pc (7800x3d, 64gb, 4TB ssd, rtx4070, water cooling). I was told that I could backup my saved games folder, remove DCS, reinstall DCS, and move the saved games folder back. Is that known to preserve my settings, binds, etc, and improve performance?

Just now I think I found the culprit: OpenTrack/AITrack... Although previously I wasn't running them, I did have them open (I thin in case the battery of TrackIR ran our). Tonight again it didn't work, but then I checked if maybe there was a conflict with Opentrack/AITrack, so I switche dthem off. Then switched off TracKIR, switched it on, and started DCS. And voila, the second green light cam eon! So lesson learned: Charge your batteries, and don't run other trackers!

I’ll try the exclusive option . As said, left light is green, right light doesn’t come on, which means the sim is not recognised as compatible. (Which we know is not true, yet that’s what the cam indicates). don’t have any pause mapped, and I’m seeing the three lights on the top right in TIR. And I’m centered. It’s the only thing I mapped to HOTAS. It’s not other lighting. The lighting is always the same (night, dark outside, on,yon Leighton, when it works zero issues, until it doesn’t work. External light sources don’t switch off the right green light on the cam though, they show up as red interference on TIR. something else is goingon, because I played it fine without problems for several weeks, and then suddenly it stopped the right green light and didn’t work in dcs, until in unis tall every file and reinstall inform scratch. Then it works again for as long as I play. The onlything thatching, is that I switch off the computer when I’m done, and next day switch it on again. but here is a question: TIR has a stable and beta version. I’m using beta version, so maybe that’s what’s wrong?

And today the problem is back. Soo I have to conclude there is a bug with the software. Maybe I’ll uninstall and try the stable version instead of the beta version

A new flight with track file this time dcs.log CBU97 misalignment.trk Tacview-20240420-211201-DCS-F-16C - Caucasus - Free Flight.zip.acmi

Hi all, I think this is a bug, as I didn't have this problem before: When I use CBUs on the F-16, I seem to be consistently off by approx. 200-400 meters short of the target. Its always exactly in line with my flightpath, and always appears to be the exact same distance short from the target. This is when playing single player, F-16 Instant mission free flight in Caucasus (after rearming). It happens in CCIP mode, and CCRP mode. It happens when I use my HUD or HMCD for targeting in CCRP mode, and the TGP for targeting in CCRP mode. I literally need to anticipate the deviation distance to get a hit. I attached a bunch of logs as well as a tacview file. dcs.log ins_trace.kml.log real_trace.kml.log debrief.log DCS-BIOS.log DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.log ins_trace.kml.log.old real_trace.kml.log.old DCS-SRS-GameGUI.log DCS-SRS-InGameRadio.log dcs.log.old Tacview-20240420-150153-DCS-F-16C - Caucasus - Free Flight.zip.acmi

Managed to resolve it. This is what I had to do: Uninstall TrackIR using teh windows add/remove programs function Run TrackIR installer and select uninstall TrackIR. Go to program folder and appdata (insave games) folder and find any traces of trackIR/NatrualPoint, and remove all of it, including USB drivers. Reinstall TrackIR using the trackIR installer. And now it works again... Go figure. I actually found the suggestion in a thread a couple of years old. the Win95 solution still seems to be the prevalent solution to fixes...

I did try to close trackIR as well as dcs, I also shut down and restarted my pc. The problem remains. The usb trick does not resolve the issue. left green indicated that trackIR sees the IR LEDs. I can see the LEDs move in the trackIR app and the main virtual ball (whatever you want to call it) moves perfectly fine. Right Green beans track IR is connected to a compatible app. Soo since the right green led isn’t working, the problem lies with the connection between track IR and dcs because dcs should work. I’ll try uninstalling and reinstalling.

I’m not sure what a rescan is. my usb port is not asleep. I tried the unplug replug truck but that didn’t work. . In the app I see the three ir LEDs, and the pointer moves across the reference ball in the app. The camera shows only the left Green light. Same for when I’m running dcs. Soo I think that has something to do with it. I tried plugging in and unplugging the camera but that didn’t work. I tried with restarting dcs but that didn’t work either. I tried plugging in the usb power connector, but that too didn’t make any difference. Soo note I’m at a loss about trackIR.

So, earlier in the week I tried out my trackIR. Played a couple of instant free flight missions in Caucasus, and trackIR worked fine, like a charm really. today I was flying a multiplayer game, and trackIR didn’t work. Tried to close and start it mid game, without success. Stopped the game closed it and started it again, but still no joy. is there something special I need to do with trackIR to getint to operate in a multiplayer game?

I installed the NLR software, and although I didn’t run it, it seemed to behave this time. So far so good. Ow play with settings. I’ll try the one by one approach!

So I’ve been playing around with the hf8 and simshaker, and besides not understanding how the turbulence options work, I noticed that there is a permanent rumble present. Possibly because the software is glitching, because any rumble present when I end a flight, doesn’t stop until I start the next flight or shut down and restart simshaker. so far the experience left me desillusioned about it. I definitely won’t miss it when it’s gone. Thumping and knocking would be fun, but everything just a rumble of some sort, just doesn’t feel interesting to me. it might be how I set it up, so if others could share their settings, then I can evaluate if I’m doing something wrong.

How do you guys set up the forces for a jet? I started off with 100% on everything, just to experience it, but that was rather underwhelming, in that it was pretty much incoherent vibrations. In addition, I had resonance feeding into my headset, making me hear the vibrations rumbling. I’m assuming that’s because I’ve not set it up properly yet. I’m using simshaker for aviators beta version, and fly predominantly f-16. if I can’t get it set up in a way that feels good/realistic/sensible I’ll probably return it. It’s a little too expensive to be just a gimmick.

Question: to use the hf8 with simshaker on dcs, do you use the usb connector or the audio circuit? (Or both?)

Hey guys, with the mig 29 coming up I was thinking about building a mig style control stick, potentially for use on a vpforce or the beast (I think that’s what it’s called). So far I’ve found only one 3d model for a stick for free, but it’s solid. There are other spyware models, but I don’t want to pay for 3D models without knowing if they are intended to be be used for building control sticks. Does anyone know where I can find a 3D model for constructing such a control stick? Anything from mig23 onwards would do.
