Hours...HOURS! 13900k, 4090, 64GB RAM, game on SSD (not C drive). In-game graphics settings make zero difference. Ditto resolution. Both, max or minimum, same stutter jerking. Quadviews makes a difference but it's not the fundamental issue. Other things tested: Windows Defender, DCS and Saved Games excluded. No difference. Windows Power Service disabled. No difference. Mouse Polling Rate set to 500hz. No difference. Combos of resolution set in the headset or in the game. No difference. 72hz Refresh Rate. Image high-frequency flicker, no difference otherwise. Smoothing on (Pimax Crystal). Stutter worse. NVidia CP, pre-rendered frames. 4 = more stutter, 1 is best. Hyperthreading disabled (Process Lasso). No difference. Quadviews Turbo Off. No difference. All E-Cores off (Process Lasso). No difference. Then I started messing with the P-Cores. Fortunately this can be done while the game is running. Pause game, alt-tab to Process Lasso, change settings. DCS seems to have a thing for the number of P-Cores. With only two enabled, lots of stutter. With four enabled, the least amount of stutter so far. ALMOST smooth. Up it to six and eight cores, the stutter becomes worse. Four active P-Cores seems to be as good as it gets and you really have to fly low and look sideways and concentrate to see the trees infrequently stutter. I'm almost sure that the stutter becomes constantly timed too, like one micro-jerk per two seconds but it's not reliably reproducible. My conclusion is that DCS MT has issues with the number of P-Cores it uses. Fking around with that sht absolutely affects the graphical performance. FWIW. Oh, the first and last P-Cores, disabling individually and together, no difference.

Same issue here. It previously ran smooth as silk on very high settings, now on the stock VR setting it still has micro-jerking at low level (ground, trees, buildings etc). I've spent the last three hours going through everything I could find on the internet. Already had Process Lasso going. Mouse polling-rate to 500hz. DCS and Saved Games excluded from Windows Defender. Windows Power Service disabled. Crystal Render Rate set to lowest (DCS PD at 1.5). 13900k, 4090, 64GB RAM, game on separate SSD.

I have a friend in china who deals for the super-clone watch factories there. He tells me factories do suffer raids by the authorities, staff get prison sentences and all the equipment is confiscated. They periodically raid and shut down the huge night-market close to the border with Hong Kong. I guess companies like Rolex have sufficient clout.

I've built dedicated ones before but finally went for an all-in-one combo so I can make use of the PC for daily use as well as flight simming. I think this is as good as it can get, short of sliding a motion-platform in under the desk (it's electric, up & down, very handy). Hope it's of some inspiration.

Lul, whut? I'm running DCS at very high settings on a Crystal with a 4090 and it's very smooth (slight steppiness looking sideways, low to the ground, but I've previously had that perfect too...updates are the bane of VR). I originally had a G2 on a 1080Ti and it was playable. Upgraded to a 3080Ti and it was superb. My 4090 would have stomped it.

FFBeast Joystick und Rudder und Throttle und Collective
Panzerlang replied to SDPG_GVL224's topic in For Sale
Hi GV. Is the angle of the foot-plates (rudder and brakes) adjustable? As it is, it looks like it would be difficult to use the rudder on the ground without also activating the brakes, at least for people like me who have canoes for feet. Lol. -
Please describe the higher quality. I have no experience of either but I've heard bad things about Winwing.

Crystal: ExperienceHome how to use mouse/recenter if controllers not in use? : r/Pimax
-
I've experienced flawless smoothness but every time there's an update the view from the cockpit sideways reintroduces very mild 'steppiness'. Lol. It can be quite exhausting trying to re-obtain the previous perfection, but I do at least know it's possible.

On your Pimax controller, headset and controller on, press the button with the Pimax logo on it, that should activate a window in which, bottom-left, you can recentre the headset. I think holding that button down also recentres the headset without the window popping up. It might fix your issue as it fixes my NSXR being out of whack occasionally. Obviously be wearing the headset and facing forward.

Virpil gear is over-engineered and at the top of the quality tree. Lol.

Turn off DFR in Pimax Play, though I've not noticed any difference with it on.

Seems to be a trend. Somnium and Varjo won't sell to Japan.

Buttkicker LFE good for DCS
Panzerlang replied to Pteradon's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
So that would mean running a 3.5mm from the onboard sound? Then headphones from the amp and RCA from the amp too, to the shakers? My amp (Crown XLS 2502) doesn't have headphone out, so that wouldn't work in my case. Is there a high-power amp that'll take 3.5mm as an input? -

Buttkicker LFE good for DCS
Panzerlang replied to Pteradon's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Maybe this would do it...USB/Toslink out of your PC into this converter, out of the converter (RCA) into your amp. What amp did you get? Link's vanished. Do a search for: USB DAC Audio Converter. -
Buttkicker LFE good for DCS
Panzerlang replied to Pteradon's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
It seems next to impossible to find any kind of sound card with RCA outs these days. I searched quite hard when I thought I was screwed for getting my rather old Fatality working with the latest windows. Fortunately I found a genius had created an entire pack of all the old software and made it compatible. -

Panzerlang replied to Pteradon's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I run outputs from a dedicated soundcard (CL Fatality) into my amp and outputs from the amp to the LFEs. -
GV's just started building mine and he had the parts in hand for two as of close last night. GVL224 game devices to order

Got a Pimax Crystal Light today - the good news and the bad news...
Panzerlang replied to Peedee's topic in Pimax
I'd see if the lenses are swappable. -
I can offer input only on what I own (a buttload of Virpil stuff) and what I've heard about WinWing (atrocious customer support). Virpil kit is stellar, both the hardware and the software. I guess it costs more because it's made in Europe, not china, but you get what you pay for. Oh, nearly forgot to mention a comment I read under a YT video a few hours ago, some guy had a board blow, well out of warranty; Virpil sent him a new board, free of charge. THAT's customer service.

If it does turn up I'll tell them and ask for a pre-paid shipping label and collection from home. Failing that I'll give it away.

Well, two different depts have emailed me to say the refund has been issued, so I'm not sweating it.
