It's probably somewhere already on the Forum, but I was having a problem saving my TrackIR profile changes - specifically the Motion Control slider, as well as linking the profile to DCS in the games pulldown window. Searching online I found the solution was to just run TrackIR as Program Administrator (right click when starting it), then make the changes and save.

I've been away from DCS for a month dealing with my PC issue and eventually getting a new setup. I started last couple of days doing refresher training on the F/A-18 and did one on the JHMCS - immediately noticed it was blurry and not sharply focused. Definitely not the same look as it was a month ago and is a new issue after recent updates.

Update: Well thanks to everyone for trying to help me with this issue. I ended up pulling the GPU (4070 Super) and sending it to Gigabyte to check. They reported back it was fine, and advised the sort of problem I was seeing could be due to issues with the MB or Power Supply. A little backstory is had replace the PC's original 4070 with a 4070 Super over a year ago - and I just have to wonder if the tech that did the install hooked it up wrong. So I just decided to punt and get a whole new system. It arrived two weeks ago and I've been getting it up and running. I went with a little more higher end PC setup - AMD 9800X3D and NV 5070 Ti, with 64GB. I'm not a PC person, but it hasn't been too challenging. I have been surprised by the amount of "muscle" memory on flying the F/A-18 that I've lost in a month of downtime... like remembering that the TP laser needs to be reset after each LGB drop... did a 90 minute training mission last night and I have no idea where that second GBU-12 ended up

Wow... That Did It. Definitely not an intuitive solution, but it worked. Thank You!!

Could you clarify this a bit. I currently have a Sabrent 10 Port USB 3.0 Hub (60W) with this order 1 - (R)MFD1 2 - (R)DDI 3 - (C)DDI 4 - (C)MFD1 5 - (L)DDI 6 - (L)MFD1 7 -open 8 - open 9 - PTO2 10 - UFC/HUD What is your recommended order? I've also seen some post online that it's an issue with AMD and its boot up overriding Windows 11 settings.

Hi all. Well I've been missing in action the past month dealing with a horrible drop in FPS from 90 to 5-6. I got lots of sound advise and suggestions here, but no joy on a solution. I even pulled my Nvidia 4070 Super and sent to Gigabyte to have them check it. They found it was fine, and thought my PC might have a Motherboard or Power Supply issue. So I just decided to punt and got a new PC (AMD 9800x3d and NV 5070 Ti), which arrived last week. I've been swapping over to it and thought today was the day. I got my Thrustmaster HOTAS and DCS software installed, the WinWing PTO2 and UFC/HD hooked up, DisplayLink , Reshade, and SImAppPro installed, and finally the three MIPs. Everything seemed to eventually work, but the displays are not saving their settings. I go into WIndows 11 and set the WW displays to under the main display and in portrait orientation, then into SimAppPro to configure. Start DCS and they work correctly. Exit DCS, and shutdown my PC... restart... and its back to the incorrect displays and layout - Landscape and not recognized in SimAppPro. My old PC would keep the WW MIP setup after being shutdown. Now every time I start up my PC I have to go into Windows 11 Display settings and then SimAppPro to configure them. Thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

I also took a screen shot with DSC running - free flight mission.

Okay, I took screen shots of both Task Manager and Resource Manager. I wonder if this is why ED wants me to delete the game and reinstall it...

I had been using Process Lasso, but stopped a few weeks ago and uninstalled it from my computer. Could it have left some residual settings in place? I do have ParkControl, attached is a current screen shot of it.

Awesome. Thanks for running my log in the analyzer. How do I rollback to the earlier NVIDIA driver, just reinstall it over the current one I have which is 572.83.

Well no joy... I installed the 64 GB RAM, renamed the DCS folder in Saved Games, ran the full repair from the launcher, kept just 1 display hooked up via usb. Started DCS and went into instant action to try a free flight... still got just 7 FPS, which is unplayable compared to the 90 FPS I was getting before this all began. dcs.log

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and explanations of things. I will try the renaming of the Saved Games folder before trying reinstall of the whole game. I am not using the Steam version. However first I'm going to add more RAM. I currently have 32 GB of RAM, but it's 4 x 8 GB sticks (DDR4). Last week I noticed when seeing some stutters and checking % memory usage I was at 60% doing a simple free flight in the F/A-18, and when I did a treetop level river run it when to 70% of RAM. So I bought some additional RAM in the form of two 32 GB sticks for 64 GB total that arrived today. I'll swap out my current 32 GB sticks for this replacement 64 GB, then hook every thing back up (WW MIPs), rename the Saved Game folder, and see if this fixes it. If not, I'll try the full repair option... and as a last resort the delete the game folder and full new reinstall that ED suggested. dcs.log

Thanks. So now what are my first steps to reinstall DCS?

They said "Please try reinstalling the game." So I am trying to understand how to do that with minimal loss of things. I did use Park Control - their suggestion - to turn parking off for my cores, and no improvement.

This week DCS suddenly became unplayable for me as the FPS dropped from 90 (capped in game) to 9 or less. Basically frozen at the start of any mission or instant action, to the point to exit the forozen game I have to do a hard pc reset to restart my pc. I've been working with ED tech support and they've had me try everything from unplugging other displays (Winwing) and go to a single display, changes in BIOS setting (disabling parking, intel Hyper-threading, RAM boost), turn off Reshade, and all low graphic settings in game. Nothing has worked. They now want me to do a reinstall. I've never done a reinstall (did do a repair this week but that didn't fix anything), and not sure how to reinstall DCS. I know I can delete folders and DCS files, but I'm afraid if I don't do it right I'll lose everything. Is there a way to reinstall so I won't lose all my saved game data and aircrafts (purchased modules and profile/HOTA bindings and setups)? I'm not a pc/computer person, so I really need basic simple step by step instructions.
