I just went to TrackIR site, like I should have from the beginning. It is a known TrackIR issue with any version past 5.4.2. They have acknowledged it and supposedly working on an issue and recommend reverting back to 5.4.2, which I did and its milky smooth.

Tested in both F18 and F16. Same issue of looking over right towards back of aircraft. Jitter is very apparent but smooth when looking over left should towards back. Used arrow keys to look and its smooth in all directions so it has to be linked to TrackIR somehow.

Tested flying 180 degrees in opposite direction to make sure it was not terrain or clouds doing. This happens flying and on the ground. My FPS does not drop but there is a very apparent jitter. This jitter does not show up in the trackir interface. Running 120hz. Any ideas? TrackIR Jitter over right shoulder video

Solution for me, after looking on TrackIR Forums, was to run DCS at 120hz refresh rate, which matches TrackIR refresh rate. Thanks for the response. It was most noticeable vertically but still felt off in all directions. I did figure it out though after searching on TrackIR Forums. It is because I am at 144hz and TrackIR is locked at 120hz. I know I stated I tried all refresh rates in previous post but apparently I missed 120. Its like butter at 120. Should have put this in my original post of things I have done... I always test my camera before starting a game by using camera view in the TrackIR software to make sure LEDs don't cross each other in my range of motion. Thanks for responding.

Rolled back to a previous driver and still same issue. I also confirmed vsync is on and I have tried every refresh rate from 60 to 144. Maybe it has always been this way and I just don't remember but it caught my eye immediately. Best explained like lower refresh rate but displays shows correct rate, and as stated, if I turn off TrackIR and use num pad it is smooth.

Been a bit since I have played but fired up yesterday and noticed TrackIR movement, in particular vertical, is not smooth, almost like its skipping. I confirmed that it is only when looking around with TrackIR by using the num key to look and that is very smooth. Has anyone else noticed this or can anyone recommend something I might try to fix the issue? Made sure windows is updated as well as latest versions of Nvidia drivers and TrackIR software. RTX 4090 i7 13700k 64gb ram, all nvme drives. While waiting for responses I am going to try and roll back TrackIR software but this issue only seems to be in DCS.

Confused on FC3. I own it. It's listed in my account under modules. I have purchased and downloaded FC4 at the discount price but game keeps prompting me that FC3 is available. I click and it downloads and restarts but the prompt shows up again that FC3 is available to download. How can I get rid of this?

Thanks for the response. Now that you mention it, Those gauges will likely not be that useful and I think I would like to put the F16 RWR in that location instead. I will give it a shot once I have an understanding of how it works.

Is there a utility I can run in conjuction with my current SimappPro from Winwing, which runs my left and right MFD for F16, that will let me display an area of the cockpit on a 3rd usb display? My current setup is MFD with USB display on left, ICP Panet in center, MFD with USB Display on Right. I would like to add a 3rd USB display to the bottom below the ICP panel and have it show all the area as pictured in attached image. null

Does anyone know that ENGINE section in SimappPro is for? I have two WW MFDs configured, one for Left DDI and one for RIght DDI. They work correctly. I was trying to see what ENGINE displays so I designated one of the two displays to ENGINE, but it still displays the MFD. null

I posted here because it is specific to the F16. I have two WW MFD-1 units. Both are set up and working as they should as LEFT and RIGHT DDI. I was considering another MFD-1 to use for the ENGINE display for the F16. I have not idea what is actually displayed, which is why I wanted to test it and to see if it had any real benefit. So I took display #3, which was assigned and working on Left DDI, and moved it to the ENGINE. It applied successfully but when I run the game I still have the LEFT MFD being displayed. Any ideas?

I currently have two WW MFD1 configured for the left and right MFD in the F16 and they work as expected. I was considering a third display to use of the ENGINE display shown in SimAppPro but wanted to see first hand what it looks like and see if it would be a worth while addition. My LEFT DDI was set to 003 so I set that to null and moved it to the ENGINE. I applied and started up the game however the 003 display still shows the LEFT DDI information rather than whatever information the ENGINE is supposed to display. So what am I doing wrong? It is like a file is not getting updated with the new information and I don't want to go start deleting files not know which one is the likely suspect. Any recommendations?null

Just an update.. Since installing the DDT driver and enabling in BIOS, I have not had a single performance issue in DCS. I use to have at multiple occurrences per day. The Intel Application Optimization App does not seem to be required. It appears to be a performance enhancement app for some titles and DCS is not listed.

Yes I went to dicord first actually and made them aware of what we found.

Yes, both of these, although it is unclear if the Intel Application Optimization is needed or not. In the Reddit Intel group, the person that appears to be from Intel is vague with responses. The App has a list of tested / supported games that you can enable or disable as individually or as a whole, but also has an Advanced tic box, which by description makes it sound like it is for testing on games not listed. When asked about that, he states on multiple occasions that the advanced option is to try out the games in the list, which made absolutely no sense. He dances around that aspect quite well. The DDT driver is something Intel provides to the MB Manufacturers so I can't really link to it since there are so many but is referred to as DDT Intel® Application Optimization with Advanced Mode (as far as I know only available from Microsoft Store) Intel to roll out 14th Gen's game optimization software to older 12/13th Gen hybrid CPUs after all | PC Gamer Here is a link to MSI and you can see here they only mention the Gen 14, which in a video about the core issues, the person stated they reached out to Intel and was told they had no immediate plans to support 12 and 13 Gen.. but that obviously changed. (see link above). How to Enable Intel Application Optimization on MSI Motherboards For my Z790 ASUS MB, you enable it in BIOS under Advanced > Thermal Configuration > Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology Configuration. It would be nice if someone at ED reached out to Intel about this to get some details... And followed up with what they find, if anything.
