  1. This discussion is about automated AAR and like I said. The bottom line here is that all players should have the choice. Nice try to cop out of a constructive rebuttal.
  2. Set page file to 16384. Same crash before take-off and happened right after I "unpaused" Trackir. Log file attached. dcs.log
  3. @BIGNEWY Starting to wonder if this has anything to do with Tacview.... The CTD occurs just before, at or shortly after take-off. Is there anything I should look for in the Crash log. What are the triggers you usually look for when going through the logs.
  4. Update, No change to DCS since last crash log. Still crashing. FYI, all drivers, BIOS and updates installed. Everything is up to date and I am not having this issue with other games. Updated to latest patch. Ran a test flight, - CTD Removed F-22 MOD. Re-boot Windows 11. Ran a test flight, - CTD Ran a repair successfully. Ran a test flight, - CTD Latest crash log attached. dcs.log
  5. Thanks Newy, but I have a feeling this is more patch related vs MOD related. I'll try with the update first and see i it helps. If not I'll try with the F-22 mod removed and report back. For the record, the update states it is addressing VR headset related CTD's. I do NOT own or use a VR headset with DCS or any game on my PC. - Let's see what happens
  6. Getting a CTD when in DCS. This happens either at or near a mission start. Log file attached. dcs.log
  7. He's just proving you right with every comment. Anyhoo, don’t mean to skew this discussion. Carry on lads
  8. @LOW_Hitman The changes you make are reversible and won’t brick your rig. You do what you want. Your back handed comment is unnecessary and and misguided. Try to help people and this is the <profanity> they spit at you.
  9. If I were you I'd try some of the tips AFTER some research and quite honestly, it doesn't take much research to find out if a change or "tweak" in Windows such as disabling the scary "power" thingy in Windows will brick your rig. If it doesn't work you can always revert back. I've been using and building my own rigs since 1995 and I have probably run into a Windows setting that royally F-ed up Windows to the point where I had to reinstall the OS in it's entirety, ONCE. Since 1995 it has happened ONCE. I'm 52 so yeh maybe it happened twice as my memory is so fuzzy in this context due to this hardly happening. If it scares you and you don't wanna do it then don't but you need to understand that the days of Windows completely dying on you because of ONE change to a setting the DEVS created as part of the OS are long gone.
  10. Best advice I would give is to fly the jet. As long as you're on the ball-stable, your hook is down and you are aiming for the crotch of the ship at 3/4 mile you should be able to fly it in without too many adjustments. Try straight in landings first and get used to them. Once you are comfortable with that do case 1. Let your head and muscle memory absorb the visual cues on final until you can do it with your eyes closed. Case 1 is tough to get right as per the text book but it's not impossible and takes time to perfect. Lastly, fly the jet.
  11. Disclaimer: You are responsible for your decisions, not me. If this messes up your rig (it should not), do not come crying to me about it. BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY PRIOR TO TESTING THIS IF YOU'RE AFRAID OF MESSING SOMETHING UP. Hey all, I think I pulled it off successfully. Here is what I did. Unparked all CPU cores: Start>> Type "Registry editor" and click on the when search finds it Go to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet Click on "Edit" >>> Click "find" and search for: dec35c318583 DOUBLE Click "VALUE MAX">>> Change whatever the number is to "0" (zero) and click OK and Exit the registry. This unparks all your MAIN cores, not your threaded cores of which you have a total of 32. Now test DCS and see if you are still getting stuttering. If you are still getting stuttering try setting the affinity in DCS to half your threaded cores. Here's how... With DCS RUNNING in the background; Bring up Task Manager Hit "Details" in the side bar on the left (I don't know where it is in Windows 10. If you do, let us know) Right click on DCS and click set affinity In the window that pops up, remove the checkmarks for the bottom half of your 32 threaded cores to disable them - hit OK. Now you've basically told windows to use only the top half of the CPU's cores which may work for you. If not, try disabling the top 16 cores while re-enabling the bottom half of your cores. Conclusion: I played around with both these settings until the stuttering went away. Now I'm getting FPS upwards of 200, no stuttering and running all my threaded and non threaded cores after re-enabling all to test. Now I'm flying with all cores running in ST and MT with no issues. All my CPU cores are not parking. Yes - windows parks and unparks automatically depending on demand (like a flight sim) but it does this on the fly which means it does it while DCS is booting up. This may be a factor in DCS not running smoothly. the CPU and memory are working hard to bring up DCS while windows is telling the CPU to unpark all cores. I know I know.... In a perfect world this should not be happening. I don't know how it works. All I know is that these two fixes FIXED my issue. Good luck and let us know how you did. references: - How to disable CPU core parking in Windows 11 - Affinity customization was a facebook post I can no longer find
  12. Hey buddy it’s Akula from wayyyyyyyyy back when Dante douchebag was running the 169th server anyhoo; I’m running into the same issue when I press F3 for a flyby view and I see streaking off the wingtips. It’s not vortices or atmospheric effects from the game it’s definitely streaking that I started noticing after the DLSS “improvement”. So is that all I have to do? Revert back to MSAA or is there a better solution? Merry Christmas and happy new year!
  13. Hey everyone, just wondering if there is a setting in the DCS virtual server that auto starts a mission when a player joins vs starting the mission and then hopping in.
  14. OPEN BETA ONLY if you bought Normandy 1.0 but DID NOT BUY Normandy 2.0 you may be a little confused as to why DCS is telling you that you already have Normandy 2.0 Heres how it works. - Once you have installed the very latest update (2.8.4.39259.1), DCS WILL install the entire Normandy 2.0 map for you, BUT - You Wont be able to see the true high density Normandy 2.0 map that you see in all the perty YouTube videos being posted. - You WILL see the Eiffel tower but you wont see a lot around it and as you get closer you will see a little more around it but nothing to make you say “WOW!” - When you visit the DCS site to buy Normandy 2.0 for 10 bucks you will get multiple warnings telling you that you already have it and you need to STOP! Ignore the warnings, pay the ten bucks and what will happen is that DCS will detect the purchase and “unlock” Normandy 2.0 in all its High def and High density glory. DONE! You now have a fully functioning Normandy 2.0 Map with all the perks
