Sorry for the very late reply. I'm sorry that I can't answer the technical aspects of your question, as I'm not well versed in it all. I just do a lot of trial-and-error type experimentation. I never really liked DLSS even in its newer state, it helps, but I don't like the softer look to the game. Also look to reduce some settings in DCS. I know that when I had the 4080/5080 (just upgraded to the 5090) I set clouds to normal and textures (not ground textures) to medium as well as LOD to .4 as well as other tweaks. I played around with all this until I could look outside either side of the aircraft and observe the scenery moving smoothly. Once there I started to add some settings back in until it started to stutter. Sorry that I can't get into the technical weeds.

important to note that this only works with those who purchased the hand controllers.

Glad I stayed away from the latest firmware then. Running the latest Play version but on the previous FW. No problems so far.

What version of Pimax play are you on? If you downgrade to 1.29 or even 1.36 does the problem go away?

I had the same issues, if you’re willing to give up on some setting sliders (primarily for local dimming) I rolled back to 1.29.01 on the software side of things. That seems to have solved some issues and has given me volume control back on my headset. I’m on the newest firmware and the jitters are gone. &nbsp I don’t know where Pimax is going with their software, but the latest iterations have been getting worse.

Per product description: ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER AMP DLSS 3 16GB GDDR6X 256-bit 23 Gbps PCIE 4.0 Nothing wrong with the card, never had an issue, just shy of a year old. It was upgraded to the 5080, and it is currently is sitting in its original packaging waiting for a new home. Most Maps (Marianas islands lol is a nope) at 100% settings without DLSS ran at 90-120fps (limit of my monitor) in 4k 2d obviously. Activate DLSS and I was getting 120 locked (with Marianas at 100-115) 4k 2d VR saw FPS at 60-72 sustained although with the resolution lowered (pimax crystal light) down from 1.0 to .78-80. Using recommended VR settings found throughout the net. QV and or FFR enabled. Lock it in a little higher with DLSS enabled (I personally don’t like using it) $850 conus. I cover shipping you cover the fees. pics on request. sold

Task manager reported 12 instances of HBUI running, of which I was able to stop 9, with the remaining 3 being unable to force quit (as soon as I stopped one of the three it would spring back up). This is with OPXRTK enabled, which still results in the F4 being the only module that I have as incompatible with it as it locks down to 32fps. Behavior not present if OXRTK not enabled, although all but 3 instances of HBUI can't be stopped until DCS is restarted.

I would agreed if all the modules did this, but as it stands, at least in my case and computer configuration, it (opxrtk) is only incompatible with the F4 module. I think it’s a combination of things in my case, perhaps it’s the 5080 vs the 4080s that I had before, could be a driver issue with the 5000 series. What I do know is that I failed troubleshooting 101 before I made this thread (and the other in the DCS core one too) by not disabling any software not needed to run DCS. Once I ran it with OPXRTk off everything was fine. Now I guess the question is why this is the case with the F4.

I’ll do that (just lost power as of this writing lol) soonest. I do know that the module absolutely hates openxr toolkit. I was able to identify the conflict there. When running with it disabled there’s no problem. Enable it and the problem returns. This is new I think as I’m pretty sure I was running opxrtk back in October.

That’s what I’m about to do. However it will be a dremel.

I can confirm that this DOES NOT work on some Orion 2 throttles the mechanism has been changed

My mistake, I missed the Orion 1 part of your post.

Yikes for that price you could’ve just paid little more and gotten the cam/damper kit. You would’ve gotten the stock springs and more for backup. Unless if they’re out of stock wherever you are.

Cheers John, thanks for the update, I can't wait to finish the campaign.

any work around that doesn't involve either flying the a10c or skipping the mission?

Well poop. All dreams dashed lol. Thanks for the update.

That's the new FFB that's coming out no? As for that extra panel, I wants it lol

I remember the first time I did AAR in that other sim. Watching the basket oscillate and then the connection wave. Chefs kiss right there

I failed the troubleshooting 101 checklist, and will be flying crop dusters for a while lol OpenXRtk is the culprit. Disabled that and everything was right as rain. f4 back to 60 fps, some minor performance spikes with other modules (not enough to reduce so much as a frame), but the f4 ran flawless. Now I know. Going to see what exactly is going on now with the toolkit.

From .75 up to 1.0 in Pimax. OPxr tk and or QV, doesn’t matter. All maps. Mind you, a few months ago it worked just fine with the 4080s. There is something happening that’s specific to this module because after its use, DCS is hard locked at 32 fps for all other modules. After exiting the module, I have to restart DCS in order to get back my performance. That’s the part that has me scratching my head. I’m going to have to check task manager to see what’s going on with CPU/GPU usage (why I haven’t done that before? lol) Also I’ve been a poor troubleshooter as of late, because I have my system dialed in for the other modules perfectly for my needs that I have been hesitant in making changes to them. Later on I’ll disable OPXrtk and QV to see if that’s something, and even will try Pimax XR to see if there’s any improvement. DLSS/DLAA is not implemented at all (not needed to get 60 FPS locked with our cards) so that’s not a factor. Even so I did test it with it on, just to check and the issue was still present.

In VR and only on VR (using Pimax CL) any mission launched with the F4 results in a cpu limited 32fps cap. Exiting the module’s mission results in all of DCS to then be frame limited to 32fps regardless of module. All other modules are fine and run at a much higher FPS (I have it locked at 60). I posted this as a bug on the heatblur side twice, but it no avail so far. Either this is a DCS thing or Heatblur, either way im at a loss. 2d performance is perfect, no issues.

No other module that I have does this. DCS reports this as being CPU bound in red. Upon exiting the flight DCS is then stuck at 32FPS regardless of the module. Something is locking this up and for the life of me I cannot figure it out. I've uninstalled the module and reinstalled to no luck. I don't remember when this started exactly, maybe when I bought the 5080. I tried this in 2d and no problems, smooth as silk. At wits end here with it.

I usually map the communications/George/Jester etc to these extra buttons sometimes I use them for bringing up the kneepad or F10.

Can someone confirm that these work for the orion2? Any changes needed? I'm about to outsource this to print and want to be sure.

Fine tune it in the control settings within DCS. I adjusted the Y value saturation a bit. In fact I just did that instead of messing with the ratio within simapp and did this to any module that has an issue.
