Ah. I didn’t know you could click on the bombs to bring up the fuze menu. Nice. The bridge I’m punching through is around 40ft high so I’ll definitely be dropping at high altitude with a decent amount of function delay.

Cool, good to know. Thanks for the solution.

A track won't work with the mission I'm playing. The tanks move into position randomly after you take out a nearby air defence system with SLAM-ER's so the plane will target an empty spot with no tank if you replay a track. I appreciate that AndrewDCS2005 uploaded one. So it looks like there have been some updates to the laser guided bombs since I last used them. More realistic is good. I'm going to have to play with this more to know if it's still possible to blow them up under bridges like I did before. I think the fact that I was using the ATFLIR pod instead of the Litening didn't help. It might have been automatically switching its lock to the bridge when it lost sight of the tank as I was over top of it. The last time I had it working, I'd just target a fixed point where they're at instead of tracking them as a moving target. I'm guessing you can change the fuse time now in the UFC or maybe the stores page? That's something I have to fiddle with too. If none of this works EricJ is probably right and I should use a bigger bomb, but based on what I'm seeing I think it's not even penetrating the bridge at all because I'm doing something wrong so I'll keep testing.

I was trying to bomb a tank under a bridge today and it just kept blowing up when it hit the top of the bridge like an instant fuse whether I set it to delay 1 or delay 2. Is there something I'm missing or is this just not working right now? I haven't used GBU-12's with a delayed fuse in a while, but I don't remember this ever being a problem.

Cool. Thanks!

Do I have this right or should up and down be reversed? I want it the same as a real hornet. I know I'm overthinking it, but I want to be sure.

Every other time playing a mission there's no explosion sound while some of my bombs or missiles hit their targets. 1-2 out of 4 missiles, for example, might have no sound when they hit even if they're spaced apart. I'm watching the explosion from F7 view from another ground unit. I thought I was too close to the target that was getting blown up, but that wasn't it. It's happened further away, close up, with bombs, with missiles, etc. It happens randomly. I think it's a bug so reporting it.

Thanks for the input. Update: I’m am leaning back towards GPU now so you might be right. The issue happens most often while switching to the map screen or changing views. I do that a lot because I’m making videos & recording with OBS. Luckily, I ruled out OBS as being the problem by getting the issue to happen without it running. That was one of the reasons I thought I might need a new CPU. I’m focused on thunderstorm carrier landings right now, but when I get a chance I’ll do more troubleshooting and update this.

Never mind, the problem came back again just as bad as before so no solutions found so far. Drat.

I’m trying things suggested and so far not much is changing. Setting the max frame rate to 72 in the Nvidia control panel instead of just the game might have helped reduce it a little. Setting the VR bitrate to max in virtual desktop if you have a good 6E router is the number 1 step to reduce the problem. At least it’s still okay if you keep your head still while it’s happening with these 2 steps. as for the CPU or GPU decision, I hear AMD’s X3D CPUs really help with this so I was about to upgrade… and they’re all gone.. Oh well. I’ll wait.

I just checked it now. Seems good. It stays around 1-2% like you said. I’m very anti-bloatware so only what I need running.

Nice. I’ll try that. It was set to 120 FPS. I can’t set it to the same as my headset though. I have the Quest in 72hz mode. I’ll have to try 75 FPS since the slider in DCS doesn’t go in smaller intervals. Might have to try 80hz mode if that doesn’t work.

32GB Yea, my paging file is on a m.2 NVME drive. It’s on my system drive & DCS is installed to a different NVME drive.

Cool, I’ll try testing those. Thanks. I do have 4 sticks of ram instead of 2. They are the same model number, but with different version numbers. Same timings though. I extensively tested that with memtest and it passed everything. Multiple overnight tests. I can’t rule out there being differences between the controllers or something. That’s the only thing that’s making me lean towards upgrading my platform instead of the GPU. I really have a feeling it is GPU related though just because I didn’t get this issue with a GTX 1080 but I was running an older version of DCS so there’s too many variables to know. The classic too many changes at once.

Oh maybe it’s weather. I’m working on a heavy thunderstorm mission. I think it happened in a different time though too with no weather. Yea I got it to happen while just flying around the Persian gulf map one time. It happened in the main menu too with no mission loaded so IDK what to think.
