For whatever reason it stopped coming on after a while. Can't explain it, I haven't changed anything. I just always use the default autostart option with no changes other than setting up comm, weapons, etc. I just did an auto start in the Gulf Guardians campaign and no DC BUS caution light.

Unless the Fulcrum pilot makes a major mistake, your chances of beating a Fulcrum in a visual fight (while flying an F-4) are almost nil. Fulcrum has significant advantages in turn rate and radius, thrust to weight, and weapons. I know a pilot who's flown both the Fulcrum and Viper and he says the Fulcrum is very hard to beat in a visual fight, even against the F-16.

Sedlo! I just flew mission 3 and was blown away. I didn't think the missions could get better but this one knocked it out of the park. Even the long taxis out and back were entertaining. Thanks again for sharing your hard work. -

@Sedlo, just finished mission 2. Outstanding! Thank you so much for sharing your hard work. -
I'll try to attach a trk file. In the meantime, during the auto start sequence, the DC BUS caution light comes on when the right engine reaches idle and the generator comes online. It stays on through left engine start and does not go out when the auto start sequence is complete. Cycling the right and left generators simultaneously per the -1 checklist for DC BUS caution light extinguishes the light.

I've noticed the last couple times I've flown the DC BUS caution light asserts about the time the right engine reaches idle on start. It persists throughout the flight with no apparent adverse effects. I always use the auto start feature. Is this a bug or is there something in the auto start sequence that's causing it?

Thank you! Yes, I'm using the Meta Link cable.

I'm computer illiterate so not sure what's relevant or not so here goes: i7-12700KF, 3610 MHz processor, 32 GB RAM NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti

Thanks all. I was just wondering at what point do I stop chasing my tail looking for the perfect settings. Even with what I've got DCS is amazing and the level of detail and immersion just blows me away every time. It's an incredible sim.

What level of performance should I expect using my Quest 2? Lines are jagged, everything shimmers, and generally looks cartoon-ish. I can't positively ID another aircraft outside of half a mile or so. I've tried most of the settings mentioned here with no luck. All the screenshots and videos I see are amazing and very realistic looking. Just wondering what is the art of the possible with VR. Is the only answer a new headset? I've tried all of the preset settings from Low to High and VR with not much changing that I can tell.

Getting ready to fly mission 2 and want to know, do I have to direct the wingman to attack the target using the comm menu, or are they set up somehow to engage the target on their own? Thanks!!

Downloaded Bitsum, turned off core parking, and everything seems to be working fine so far!!
-
Opened up the most recent log and it starts with a warning that I have parked logical cores. I assume that points to the problem? I see some have turned to Bitsum to fix. Is that the best one to use?

So, my game's not crashing and I'm not getting any messages, I just get lots of pauses in the game with the spinning hourglass in the corner, like it's buffering or something. Only play single player so I don't think it's a WIFI issue. RAM problem maybe? I've got 32 GB of RAM. Thoughts?
