I just did a restart of my pc and the issue has gone away. I wonder if the initial stuttering could be caused by the fxo and metashaders going through their rebuild the first time after being deleted.

I just did an update of the latest Nividia driver (552.22) and then DCS 2.9.4.53707. I fly the A-10C II and now there's a horrible visual stutter as I look around the cockpit. I am running the same mission I did before the updates, where there was no stuttering, so it seems connected to the updates. The mission starts on the runway with the jet running, so as I look around to check and set things to my liking, it will freeze for a second or two. I also emptied the fxo and metashaders2 folders after running the DCS update. I have FPS on the Nivida card 4070-Super capped at 125 and in DCS at 165. The DCS FPS monitor has it averaging 117 FPS which is a bit lower than the 120-125 FPS I was getting in this same mission before the updates.

Yes I realize that from this post thread, and I did copy 3.7 into my DCS folder. However, I noticed the update replaces it with 3.5.10 and was really just wondering why they didn't go with a later version.

I see that ED in its April update did go from DLSS 3.5.0 to 3.5.10.0. I wonder if the next update will have 3.6 or 3.7.

Great tip to changing to black. I was beginning to get a little frustrated trying to see the green HUD in bright sun desert and cloud conditions, even when at max intensity. I just tried these changes; yellow first, but I like the black better. Thanks.

Okay, here's the track up to where the band is seen. I noticed that it was less as I moved my POV around and became prominate when fixed on the area. 3-30-24 Ocean Bands.trk

It's Operation Persian Freedom's "The Battle of Qeshm" mission going from WP 2 to WP3.

So this may be a mission map specific issue. I just started a new mission in the Operation Persian Freedom Campaign and there's no banding in the water at the coast line.

So I turned all of four ReShade presets off, and deleted fxo and metashader2 files. Restarted my computer too. In game I turned SSLR to off and SSAO to on. No change to the water banding.

This may be old information, but I ran across a YT on the DLSS 3.6 update this week. It's for MSFS players and points out that you need to also update your Nvidia Driver - an update was release this week right before 3.6. Not sure how much of what is said is applicable to DCS, but the update of the Nvidia drive makes sense.

Thanks for the tips. I will give them a try. I had tried looking for other posts, but I wasn't sure how to describe what to search for so I missed them. Is there a better name/description for what I'm seeing?

I'm relative still new to DCS and tweaking of various graphic settings. I've just started the A-10Cii Operation Persian Freedom Campaign and noticed the banding on the water near shore, I'm flying at 15K. My PC is an i5 12600K with a new Nvidia 4070-Super. Monitor is a Samsung G7 with a 165 Hz. With my settings I'm getting about an average 125 fbs. The only other thing I have is ReShade. So is this banding effect normal or are my settings causing it?

I figured as much, but still think this would be good - but understand why it can't be added.

After adding in names in the Comms sub menus for the ARC-210, it would be so nice to be able to see the specific name of a preset channel frequency on the ARC-210 display screen.
