I found one part of the issue, for the performance loss of going from 90fps to as low as the 60's this was being caused by Process Lasso's Pro Balance feature. This was changing the priority of the game to a lower setting which was causing the fps to drop. After turning the feature off now it runs at a smooth 90fps but i get a stutter a couple of times a minute. Half way there I guess, now to look into the stuttering.

dcs.logDxDiag.txt This morning I did the panzer mission but i added rain, ran fine , fired on the AAA/Sam group with the fcr worked fine , got locked by aaa i missed turned away from target got hit and lost a engine then fps dropped to the 50-60 range. This has been a issue for me thru several different nvidia drivers and some amd drivers as well. I dont have this isssue with other flight sims. I see you mentioned Vram optimization and I thought it might be something similar since vram usage seems to be 90%+ on the settings i use normally but when i set everything to low Vram was around 6gb and still had the stutter effect. Im curious why alt tabbing out of the game causes the stuttering to stop, but when alt tabbing back in it starts within seconds. I could understand the fps dropping if the Gpu was at 100% but it maxes out around 80-85%. Its not 90fps to 80 then back to 90 its more like 90 to 0 to 90. Gpu usage will do 80%-0%-80%. I thought maybe thermal throttling but temps are fine and system handles long handbrake encodes using all cores and gpu stress test like furmark. I also use process lasso to put dcs on the first 6 cores and virtual desktop on the last 6 cores. Noticed this in the log at the end 2025-02-07 17:48:51.803 ERROR VISUALIZER (Main): rendering thread is stopping unexpectedly long time Another issue that pops up is when i click quit to desktop or quit sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt. Dcs goes not responding and I have to close it,

Issue : When I load into the Mountain Coin mission for pg in the apache it will be running fine in vr at a smooth 90fps thru vitual desktop, while starting up the apache it will start to stutter, sometimes after a stutter the fps drops and all the times on the fps counter go up (frame, sim, etc). Then i will be around 60fps but instead of the 3 bars being somewhat smooth at the bottom of fps counter they go up higher and fluctuate up and down (looking like a saw tooth in task manager). the times listed also go up as well with mouseover fps counter. I have seen this while using the caucus map, pg, nevada and mariana Oddities that I have noticed : After stuttering thru the startup sometimes it will stutter and the fps will go back to 90 fps and run smooth again for a duration. Another odd one is when i got into the area where the targets are in the mission it was stuttering and if i alt tabbed so it showed game out of focus stuttering stops. When tabbing back in it starts again. I have also had it doing the alt tabbing will sometimes bring back the 90 fps. I also have a mission from the user files with the Apache and the a10 and I dont have the issues when using the a10. Things I have tried : Changing settings to Low makes no difference. I loaded Windows Performance Recorder/Analyzer and recorded a 10 minute or so session I did with the panzer mission for the Apache and Nevada map. While looking at process lasso and task managers usage I can see that none of the resources are maxed, they are around 80% and when a stutter happens video card and cpu shows a drop to 0% usage then back to 80%. The performance analyzer shows a spike in the nvidia driver kernel modules time ( at least thats what chatgpt said ) at the same time the FPS tanks. Being that I can use the A10 on the same mission and I dont have the performance issues it would lead me to think its something with the Apache, but tabbing out of focus and it stops plus the nvidia driver issue has me lost Any Ideas?

approach plates is another name for it

Try playing with the ipd setting on the vr page, i remember setting it to a weird number and the a10 stick and throttle looked like 1/4 sized. like a child's toy. From my understanding or lack thereof the ipd setting in game is independent of whatever your vr device is using, i think it had more to do with the way the game renders. Give it a shot and let us know.

Any word on if the numbers will change back next patch or will they leave them the same?

What do you mean by custom device settings? Just curious.

When I was messing with it earlier I binded the nws button. It was added to the Lua file. I think checked the syntax of the nws section and it was the same as the old Lua.

Checked the config folder in the game folder and it seems to be mostly default settings. The other thing is that If i rebind the keys, for example the nosewheel steering button its added to the users saved games folder lua file. However copying the old lua into the new one, copy/paste, and loading profiles does nothing. Like I said its not a big deal but its something i'm sure they either want to be aware of or say something like all keys have to be redone with this patch. Well to be fair, my flaps and gear still work on the joystick. Can someone check if the flaps and gear info is in the new lua file? overwrote mine. Something odd i noticed. If i copy the old lua's over to the config folder almost all of the commands dont show up in bindings, the flaps and gear still do.

Several people in the forums have updated and not been able to load the old Lua files. Might want to wait or plan on rebinding what's missing.

have you been able to do this? Others have tried but no luck.

Copy and pasted my 3 lua's and overwrote just fine.

Should the lua files have most of the options listed and no buttons listed as assigned? I loaded the lua that doesnt have the bindings I had before the update and there is not much to it. Pov hat commands deadzone, etc. The filesize is half of the other lua with all my binds. I checked the syntax from the updated and my old lua file for the nosewheel button and its the same. Same as others, I have tried loading profiles in the settings and nothing changes. Copied lua files from a backup image from before the patch and nothing changes. The file sizes for the joystick lua go from 3k to 6k but none of the buttons work.

It's not that big a deal, but what if it's changed or reverted next patch and it's back to the settings for a bit.

Crap maybe they will merge the two, well at least its not just me.
