It took 17 minutes to die . . . and 40 minutes to crash from 1200 ft

Thank you for the feedback. I will try to list all the options contained in subsequest posts . . . It is in its way more robust than other utilities. I do my monitor shopping on Monday nights . . . Dumpster Diving!

I agree about the business of the screen . . . My original idea was to use more-or-less military colors. I got bored with the plain image background and created the ability to use my screenshots, the buttons were however even harder to distinguish with the ever changing colors of the background. Hence the colors. They are changeable to suit the desire of the user and a plain interface with perhaps 7 theme options seemed rather dull. The way I use this is to place it on a second monitor in full-screen mode. The buttons all get pushed to the edge and are less intrusive visually. I can freely move my mouse to the other desktop without closing DCS or changing its focus. In many cases this allows me to note the current config while in DCS and make changes before restarting. Otherwise I have to close DCS and note the changes before making them. The Udater Utility is more a novice oriented application however, if you know how to edit the configs, this is a lot easier. I can't easily convey the functions that are in the menus. I am focused OS configuration as well as DCS addons. Not having to find apps and constantly close out and resart. I've also noted others and my own confusion when it comes to the options.lua and which to use. For me, the nice thing is not having to keep finding app folders and icons. Once opened, I never have to close the app to make any changes. This is priceless to me . . . Thanks for the feedback!

Hello all, Mgone here. As some of you know from previous posts, I love DCS, its international users. I also have a lot of time on my hands . . . I got tired of making configuration changes by having to Alt-Tab or endlessly opening desktop folders to find my applications icons etc. I decided to create what I call "DCS Flight Panel. I have been working on this for a while now and have had to wait until there was some commonality, amongst developers. For instance, DCS adopting OpenXR. Renaming dlls and the like got old. I still change dxgi.dll to enable/disable reshade in the local file for I never got reshade-global to work in DCS. Here I am completely self-contained. I can open the Panel and never once go to the desktop to launch programs. Here, I have access to all installed plugins, mods, configuration panels and basic system functions. I very much enjoy the "DCS Update Utility" however, once you've become familiar with all the .lua configuration files, I find it easier to just open the files and edit them manually rather than relying on the other utilities to make changes. Often the changes have give you unexpected results. What I like most is this . . . I never have to Alt-Tab or close DCS to check something or make changes as long as they do not interfere with the current running DCS. The panel right now reflects my installation and configuration only. I would like to expand on this to cover other's hardware and applications so that I might offer it to other DCS users. One issue that I am working on is a system-wide scan of installed programs to create the variables for pointing to individual user installation folders. Once I figure this out, I will only have to pass the variable rather than hard-encode the program's installation folder. You can get an idea of the types of items included . . . I've even added the ability to use my screenshots. I am looking for a little feedback . . . What do you think?

I had the same issue . . . However, I was in VR when I noticed it. I quit and re-launched in screen mode where, though it was still as in your image (unselectable), I was now able to change it and run VR again. The options stuck . . .

Thank you . . . I just had to say something?

Servers can be non-responsive for any number of reasons, some I've listed below: 1) Servers get over-worked and go down periodically when thousands of connection are established (No really, this can really happen) 2) Any one of ten thousand routers, servers, switches that connect to a file server or database can also fail. 3) Any disruption with an ISP can also prevent the server from reaching you and you reaching them. DCS has an ISP too! 4) Most often though, the reason is this, they know who you are and just want to mess with you personally. People, for heaven's sake . . . the servers have served us with very few interruptions for many years now. Give the team a break and stop telling them what they already know . . . Stop with the threats. . . one day in a life-time without DCS is not the end of the world. (Perhaps I should reconsider that last statement though) If DCS were to go down for a week, I'll go ride a bike. Remember this . . . Even you have a MTBF!

I'm experiencing the same on Pimax 8KX. . . I did find however that, I can toggle to a side view, hold my head steady and toggle back to default view. The problem corrects itself.

I have an 8K X ... Been experiencing these same issues . . . Head-track stuttering, wobbly menus, 6 FPS. . . and my favorite, first-stage mushroom trip, after returning from external or, map views . I discovered that OpenXR-Toolkit-1.3.0, does not play nice with PimaxXR-0.3.2 or, 0.3.0. I've Reverted back to PimaxXR-0.2.8 and now all is working well. 111-147 FPS with default VR settings and 67-72 FPS with all setting High or Ultra. I now see an average increase of 50-70FPS in MT over Single Thread . . . Yeah! There are a few image issues at start however, this is to be expected during the beta testing phase . . . none affect the game once flying. 9900K RTX3070Ti 32-Megs

Under speed warning (too low a throttle setting) to lower your landing gear or flaps?

That was easy enough, I'd forgotten that is was installed. Thank you!

Just installed BS3, Uh... I have two cyclic control sticks? I haven't installed any mods.

Here it is ... I am only using the "Dxgi.ll" 3,777KB file from this package. The "D3DCompiler_47.dll" and "openvr_api.dll" are provided by the latest OpenXR and OpenComposite. I did nothing fancy to make it work . . . Just when everything was installed I dropped ReShade into the folder. Hope it works for you! ReshadeVR_4.9.1 Unofficial.rar

Thanks for posting that link . . . Had downloaded many versions to try. The particular one I am using was not downloaded from there. My unofficial version contains the the older flavor of Dxgi.dll, not the current ReShade64. I run it locally. I also found that I can rename "Dxgi.dll" to "ReShade64.dll" and dump into the global folder and it works there as well, except other apps don't like this version in combination. My file's internal description reads: File version - 4.9.1.82 Prod Version - 4.9.1 Unofficial The version in your link reads: File version - 4.9.1.1003 Prod Version - 4.91

Been looking to get ReShade and OpenXR to play nice together or a long time. Always errored out, as others have describe. This morning I tried an older ReShade 4.9.1 Unofficial version and it all works . . . I'm using the following: OpenXR 1.2.2 OpenComposite 1.0.0.0 Pimax 0.2.8 Pimax Client V1.6.0.21 Rehade 4.9.1 Unofficial If this is redundant or old news to others, than pardon me. I am just so happy that my 8KX now looks this much better.
