Resolved it this morning. Minor issue with the hardware for the virpil sticks, when installing the virpil software it flashed new firmware and built a new profile. I have restored my old profile and now, the binds work. Cheers for the help everyone.

Indeed had that before and I have a tool to restore old GUID numbers. Those all match what the dcs files have. In addition none of the game settings were carried over either which is strange. Is there a registry entry that points to this stuff?

Have recently just built a new machine, and as I have in the past with all other re-installs I backed up my save games files for binds etc. Installed the game, copied back the save game files as previously, checked the device ID's against my Stick/Throttle/Rudder etc all match in game and in the binding file name, all good. Go in game and nothing is being loaded by default as it should be. Just not picking anything up from the Config-Input folders for each module. I can manually add these files in game by importing profiles, this is time consuming though. Any idea how to resolve the automated import of the existing profiles?

You don't need to go back into the game. Just change the affinity to cpu0 press OK. Then change it back to all cores. Has the same effect. I went an hour last night with no problems then out of nowhere the stuttering came back (Self built Strike eagle training mission) but changing the affinity again solved it a further time. Clearly something in the games code just doesn't play nice. Couldn't pin point last night what thr cause was sadly but the game continued to run lag free for another 45min till I chose to quit out.

This solution has solved my issue entirely!

This worked for me, solved the problems I have had since 2.9 dropped. Thank you so much!!

So glad i bumped into this thread, going to try the affinity solution tonight, fingers crossed!

Will any of these changed be included in the patch dropping today?

Can confirm that shadows are the fault of the stuttering. With them turned off I have zero issues. How do we go about diagnosing the issue for you guys@NineLine

I have played about with shadows but not disabled them entirely. I will give that a go tonight!

I ran the F16 Instant Action Mission (Free Flight) on Syria three times in total and flew in different cardinal directions from spawn each time. First Straight south into Israel landing at Ramat David, Then directly East and then as far North as I could before running out of fuel. Only thing I change other than flight direction was turning on DLAA and SSS for the final flight. Stuttering increased initially for the first few minutes and then settled down so the point it was non-existent in the cockpit. Had stuttering on external views, still but again, the more time I spent in external view the less the stuttering appeared. I will repeat the same tonight with the same mission, module and map, then see if how it compares with a different module.

Significant improvement now for me, not completely gone but now playable at least. Syria, F16, instant action free flight mission, on launch it stuttered like mad but after 30 minutes of flying around it almost completely resolved itself. Yet to fly other maps in different modules, so can't say for certain, but may well be a shader rebuild issue...?

Not had chance to try yet, but has the hotfix changed anything with this stuttering?

Win10 for me

Not for me, up till last week 2.8 ran immaculately. I would rather sacrifice the uplift of 15-20% "Fps" in 2.9 I am getting now to get rid of the stutters which are new.
