Hi NineLine. Any word/ETA on getting this built into DCS? Specifically for the A-10C II and Warthog.

I got my new AVA a few days ago, and it feels great. To be honest I don't notice the springiness at all when using it. Probably as when I usually release my grip on it the stick is already pack at center neutral, and doesn't bounce around. I have a SimFab Cockpit chair and had to buy the updated mounting plate for AVA Base from them - not a big deal or cost. The AVA Base plate from Thrustmaster will not mount on the SimFab L-Bracket. So it's probably worth checking with the manufacture of your own cockpit chair if its not SimFab.

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.

Australian defense economics professor Perun does some very interesting hour long lectures on military and international defense related subjects. He just did one on "The Race for Next Generation Air-to-Air Missiles: Range, Sensors & Future Air Dominance"

Thanks again. I've changed the title of this threat to "solved." The other thing that I did was go through my normal initial power startup with Battery, Battery Inverter, APU, and APU & AC Generators all on. Then turn on all three radios.

I just completed Mission 3 and verified that the Kneeboard [bracket] numbers are the presets for the ARC-210. Interesting training too, I got so focused on figuring out how to enter new waypoints and create a flight plan in the air that I missed a scheduled waypoint and ended up almost a 100 miles past it - couldn't understand why my new flight plan waypoints weren't showing on the TAD and thought I'd done something wrong with the various OSBs until I finally expanded the TAD to over 80 miles to see I'd well overshot my planned course and new waypoint circuit... no thanks to instructor Biff

Thank you. This is definitely helps me make sense of these radios and the setup for this campaign.

I bought the Iron Flag campaign to use for training, but am stumbling at the beginning of the missions with the use of radios. It starts with "... switch your UHF Radio to MAIN or BOTH position on the default frequency." Which radio? What is the "default frequency"? Is it ATIS? Which radio and frequency is being used to talk to the instructor Biff? I thought the ARC-164 was for comms with the flight. If so, what's the frequency? The radio check with Biff was on 128.000 which can't be on the ARC-164. I just did Mission 3 and was so confused with the radios and instructions to switch to the ground or tower that I lost comms with Biff. The AI continuing the mission while I was still not moving and he taxied before me and took off then crashed. Looking at the Kneeboard for this mission, are the numbers in [bracket] the ARC-210 assigned presets? If so, where's Guard 1 go? With three different radios it would be so much clearer in the training if the instruction was something like "... switch your UHF ARC-210 Radio to MAIN or BOTH position on the default frequency of 270.100 ATIS." Any help would be appreciated as I appear to be stuck on the ground without the correct comms.

Hi Art-J. Thanks for the information. I'm not a PC type, but I have both the Bin and Bin-MT folders in the DCS World folder. The "reshade-shaders" folder is in the Bin folder. What do I need to do? Should I move or copy it to the other one? Update: So I installed Reshade again in the Bin-MT folder. Everything is reset, but I guess I can just play around with it in game and see if I can recreate my settings. I did start the DCS in the Bin folder and Reshade is there and so are my settings (now copied down on paper). So what is the difference between the two DCS versions? I read the explanation on the MT page, but that was before the 2.9 update.

I updated to the stable version of 2.9 yesterday, and Reshade is no longer working. I've tried reinstalling it and the Reshade app says this was done, but when in DCS it is not working. I get a message that the files have been deleted.

Got it. Thanks.

I know that there's a closed thread that said the issue with GBU-54 name not showing up in DSMS, but I have that problem. I'm on stable version 42718. I'm also unable to take a screen shot as I get "Unable to save screenshot because of an internal error" message. I do have ReShade loaded and on, as well as MSI Afterburner (but it is not on). I can type in a name for the GBU-54 into the profile and save it, but this is sort of a pain especially if I start in the air full weapon loaded. edit: I just took a couple picts with my phone, not the best quality but they show the issue.
