    Had another session with Huey & Gazelle in both HH & FR, all went smoothly with good FPS over many rescues. Tried the medium fog setting which was fine with no FPS impact but turned it off as sightseeing was more fun. A minor thing was twice when en route to a *critical* I passed near another pilot who popped smoke and called 'you are close', both times I used the F1 option to see how far it was to the critical pilot but each time that the list of outstanding csar details was displayed it immediately disappeared and was replaced by the just 'you are close' message. Selecting the F1 option a second time brought up the list of all current csar's again which then remained on screen as per usual.

    Had fun in all 3 regions & 'enjoyed' landing in really tight spaces where you really don't want to land. Used Huey, Gazelle & Hip, the only issues were on first flying a machine the FPS bounced low & high for the first minute or so, especially in Berlin, then back to normal, and switching slot from the Gazelle to Huey the VRAM used was around 13GB for a minute or so then dropped to the normal 5GB used for a Huey, so probably just the norm for a busy map? It's a great way to do some sightseeing on a really excellent new map, so thanks for creating this so quickly.

    I didn't spot a fix entry for this issue in the patch notes today but can confirm that the login process from Steam to DCS does now work, but you might still get some logs raised. As I only use VR the failure point after the Feb update for me was a login screen with username, password (Both blank), save password checkbox & auto-login checkbox. At that point only clicking the large X to close that panel allowed access to SP but not Multiplayer options. Entering username & password did not allow entry. On the first run after today's patch using VR the login process stopped with a black screen and the music for the Skyhawk playing merrily and had to be killed. Only when running the Play DCS (non-VR) option from Steam did it stop at the Login panel and the username & password can be entered and the boxes checked to auto login which then allows the Play DCS VR option from Steam to login automatically into the main DCS panel. (A long waffle from me but it might perhaps help any affected Steam users who meet the same issue).

    Yes, it downloaded about 590MB on one of my PCs that only has helicopters installed - that worked fine and the DNS login from Steam to DCS now passes the authentication details - which stopped working after the Feb update. The other PC, with only planes installed, downloaded about 980MB and failed with 'Missing files downloaded' message, when I clicked on the Retry option it downloaded about 6.5GB and everything appears to be OK on that machine so far.

    Glad that you found it. The Toggle VR Zoom in the UI Layer is global, so will be your VR zoom button for all modules, pretty sure all the controls set in the UI Layer, (unless anyone knows different?), are global - such as Pause & Active Pause, so the Options Window is showing all the individual modules you have used that button for a different function, I think that within those individual modules' Control options that button's setting will have a red exclamation mark. I only use VR so don't know if that is merely a warning or would cause any issues, perhaps someone else may be able to confirm?

    Hi, the settings for VR Zoom are in the UI Layer in the Controls menu. toggle VR Zoom is the one that I use, there is also a toggle VR Spyglass Zoom option but I find that is like being smacked in the eyes by the object that you are zooming in on.

    I have set the Oculus PC Link program to 72Hz and 5408 x 2752, and within DCS to max of 75Hz. This works fine with clear cockpit instruments and high terrain levels/shadows etc. On a 'quiet' map it will range up to 72fps, if there are lots of units/aircraft then it will be solid at 36fps which suits me fine, I haven't made any other headset/toolkit changes.

    I have Lenovo i7 Pro laptops with 4090 16 GB GPUs & 32 GB Ram both with Quest Pro headsets which run DCS fine at high (but not max) settings.

    Just wanted to mention that your DNS changes didn't work for me, so still waiting for a fix, in case it's thought that the workaround works for everyone.

    Thanks for arranging that, I did connect to the Discord but had no idea what options/items to select and vanished down a rabbit hole, I'll try again tomorrow and hopefully work out what to do.

    My thanks to the team for a great update. You've packed a ton of great changes in this version, I only had about an hour to blunder around parts of the island, and spent the last 5 minutes hovering around the boats at the mooring buoys to the south-west enjoying the views before perching on the MSB's pad.

    A timely comment. I have looked a few times for 'idiot proof' guides on how to set up a server on my own lan specifically to run as a dedicated DCS server, but whilst I'm not a complete idiot, I couldn't make sense of the many 'it's dead easy just open port XXX' etc., rather than how to do that. So if anyone can give me a link or advice on how to do that I have a spare laptop and a spare desktop that I could repurpose. Any & all advice would be greatly appreciated as I did log in to the Fritzl Box router that I was given 3 years ago but had no idea what any of the network settings meant, so I'm a bit averse to fiddling with something that works and screwing it up through lack of knowledge. If it is doable then I'll be able give a straight comparison by repeating the exact same tests that were run as SP. That's if it is dead easy, of course.

    Fair enough, and very true

    As I was passing by I'll chip in on @MAXsenna reply, The superb OH-6A mod I have is installed in C:\<username>\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\Aircraft\OH-6A The weapons are in the Tech folder, if you don't have one then just create one, as in, C:\<username>\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\Tech\OH-6A_Weaponpack If you look at the mods that you want to install they should already have a similar folder structure.

    OK, some results, but not very helpful as the plot thickens, I made 3 runs each against the following vehicle changes. I changed all Jungle Inf trucks from 4320T to ZIL-135, same fps drops on that truck type. Changed all. Zils to Ural-4320, same fps drops when first damage to 4320s. However a possible unhelpful DCS bug? I'd seen the occasional drops in yesterday's replays where it occurred when an Ural-375 was hit, I ignored that as I assumed it was a hit on a unit well away from the ones I was flying close to. This also occurred with these test runs, and on checking through the Score log there was no mention of Ural-375s, so I made the Jungle inf units visible on the F10 map when I set 4320s on all those units, and can confirm that hits reported as Ural-375 were actually against the Ural-4320s as shown by their 'health' bar turning yellow. If nothing else, it probably exonerates the 4320T from crimes against humanity. Time for bed said Zebedee.
