Will more RAM improve my fps?
Polar-eX replied to slashxer's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I have used the Steam FPS meter and i tested FS 2020 PMDG 737-800, DCS A10C II + F16c, rF2 50 cars field, The Talos Principle 2, Transport Fever 2 and GTA 5. None of the games used more than 32GB or came near it. Max was about 20GB i believe. Im running I7- 13700K - 64 GB - 9070xt on a Asus XG32UQ 4k. In my case the 16GB on the 9070xt was the bottleneck and with FS 2020 the I7 - 13700k was going at 97-100%. But my ram was not a single problem. -
Problem solved, installed the bridge again and everything works flawless. Thanks for this amazing integration. I love it for the FS 2020 PMDG 737-800 and now i can also use it with the A10C II. Thank you

Bought the Winwing 737 FMC: perfect! (and it even works with DCS )

Went from 2 x 16GB Corsair 5600 DDR to 2 x 32 GB Corsair 6000 and i havent noticed any performance boost. Maybe when you do heavy video editing but not in games -
I bought the HF8 Pro and i dont use it. The seat makes way too much noise. To get a decent amount of feel you need to set motors at >15%. AT that point the vibration is strong and if you live in an apartment (as i do), neighbors will hear it. The two upper motors, near the shoulders are loud. Using a headset, their vibration is clearly audible in the headset, so i turned them off: 2 of the 8 motors gone. Software: the default software is...crap. I used Simhub or Simshaker for Aviators. And even then...i used Simhub with DCS A10C II...during the takeoff roll, motors went on and off all the time. And most of the time i wanted to feel a THUMP, i got BRRRR. With racing i have enough with FFB. The seat does not give me any extra cues: the seat uses the exact same signals as FFB. So im actually thinking about just using it as a massage chair but i have to figure out how to use it so the neighbors wont be bothered. My advice: dont waste any money on the chair. Use the money for an FFB joystick.

Hi all, I have two tablets connected to my PC via USB and the software Spacedesk. Left tablet is a Samung A7 tablet and the right one is a Ipad Air 1. Im running HELIOS with left and right MFCD's from the A10C II. On the Samsung A7 everything works fine and i can adjust the MFD functions with the corresponding buttons. No problem. The right MFCD (Ipad Air 1) gives me the "stuck key" problem when i touch the screen to press a button. When i use the mouse on the tablet, there is no problem. So it has to do something with the touch and probably the duration that HELIOS sees two inputs instead of one? I have no clue.

Well, here i am again but this time with a Winwing CDU question. Everything worked fine in the A10C II until i changed the width in the commandmenu.lua to shift the radio menu to the left of the screen. Since i see that the screen on the Winwing CDU is scambled. Is this hardcoded together? function getMenuWidth() local fontScale = getFontScale() return 1680 * fontScale end

Hi all, i have a new problem with Helios and i can't figure it out. Im using the A10C II and i have setup my left MFD with all buttons. In game i press OSB 10-15 and i can switch between the different pages TAD - DSMS - COMM - NAV, no problem so far. I can go from TAD to DSMS, no problem. But once in DSMS and i click on OSB 1 "PROF" to see the profile page, The button acts weird. As long as i keep pushing OSB 1 it shows the Profile page but once i release it switches back to the DSMS page. Main manu buttons work fine, sub menu buttons don't function. How can i solve this?

Yes, stupid, im going. Sorry!

Kdrum is talking about a HOTAS. You talk about and FFB stick that cost 700 dollar. Next to that there is no native FBB support from DCS per aircraft. Its just about the MOZA settings. I race a lot and all games i play have such different FFB: F1 2024 vs LMU is a WORLD of difference. And as long as there is no native FFB support per aircraft my opinion is: the hardware market is FFB ready, the flightgames are not.

Helios does not show viewports
Polar-eX replied to Polar-eX's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Hi Wostg, thanks for the response. Finally i found it. 2 things: 1) I did not know that i needed to add the viewport interface: that was the primary solution. 2) after a change in the viewport in the config tool , no matter if all interface statuses were green, the control center would give an error on the the monitor config file. Now i know that i have to close the config tool, open it again, load the profile, config the monitor, save and open the control center. Now everything works fine and i know how to create my viewports. Works beautilful!! There are many tutorials but this one got helped me a LOT -

Recently i upgraded from 2 x 16GB DDR5 5600 to 2 x 32 GB DDR5 6000 - with a I7 13700k - AMD Asus TUF 9070xt system. In Steam i viewed the mem usage and there was not a single game that used of the full 32GB My advice is to save the money and spend it on a better CPU / GPU which will dedicated impact on FPS. I tested in DCS / FS 2020 PMDG 737-800 / rF2 / GTA 5 -
Hi all, im having trouble with helios. I have watched many you tube videos but none give me the answer. Im flying the A10C II and i have two tablets connected via USB. I can set any instrument, bind the right out and input and it works. I can even show the MFD buttons and program these and they work ingame. But i cannot get any MFD viewport to show on the tablets. Resolutions and display positions are set. I have renamed the MFD's to the monitorsetup.lua...nothing.

DCS World steam edition 2.9.20.15384 wont start
Polar-eX replied to Polar-eX's topic in Installation Problems
You will always see: post a question and i find the sollution myself. I read the log and saw that DCS was unable to open a zip archive. I went back into my Bitdefender and saw that i set the option "scan archives" to on. I turned that option off and DCS started.
