Most of the old infrastructure is gone but a lot of the more prominent landmark buildings/structures have become part of the "Route der Industriekultur". There are quite a few older water towers that have been repurposed for all kinds of different stuff or are simply part of one of the industrial heritage sites. The steel water towers are mostly gone by now but there are a few examples left standing. Their design was quite varied though. Some with spherical tanks like we see on the CWG map, others with cylindrical tanks etc. Edit: a few examples Historischer Wasserturm Süd (Duisburg Wedau) Wasserturm von Thyssen Krupp in Bochum Lanstroper Ei

They are fairly typical for water towers in the Ruhr Area, usually water towers that are located at industrial sites like steel mills. We also have brick water towers here but more commonly with a round or cylindrical tank at the top, not a pointy roof like that

Yeah, it downloaded 25GB with 1Gbit/s and now it's jumping between a few kB/s and 10MB/s

Ah, the way you formulated that made me think that you didn't

Hop in the back seat and set the INS knob to align when the red light is off (indicating that the system is warmed up), then once the green light is flashing you can set it to nav. Jester still starts the warm-up for the INS, you just have to initiate the alignment and set it into nav mode once it's finished

Just so you can get another data point, I have an Asus 5090 ROG Astral. With the OC BIOS in DCS VR (Reverb G2) it pulls about 400-470W, temps rarely go above 65°C on the GPU and 70°C on the memory. I was flying the Phantom over the Cold War Germany map today and GPU temps were mostly around 60°C +/- and memory around 65-70°C with an ambient temperature of around 20°C. This is with the middle fan and rear fan limited to 55% RPM, if I'd have it on auto it would be few degrees cooler. It's a huge expensive brick but I am quite happy with the VR Performance. I tuned it to get mostly 90fps on a Reverb G2 but of course flying low over big cities I do see quite a few drops, for example flying in formation with three Phantoms over Berlin in MP I saw drops down to 70ish fps in some situations when I had the mirrors active, jumps between 80-90fps without the mirrors. Of course coming from a 3080TI the 5090 is a massive upgrade but I don't think it's worth it if you already have a 4090.

Doesn't it always say it's CPU bound in VR, regardless whether it actually is or not? I know for a fact that I was GPU bound with my 3080ti (always 99-100% GPU usage, VRAM often smack bang at 12GB usage), yet the FPS counter always said CPU bount in VR, never GPU bound. With my new 5090 I get mostly around 95% usage in DCS and in multiplayer the VRAM mostly sits between 10-16GB usage but I did manage to almost get it to 32GB when I set up a huge formation of B-17s

You have a 4090, there's no reason to upgrade to a 5090. Yes, the 5090 offers some pretty good gains in DCS VR but I doubt it's a GPU issue.

A Schwarm of Antons on the [4YA] Project Overlord WWII Server gets intercepted by a lonely Spitfire. One Anton has to abandon the raid, one Anton had to drop its ordnance, the other two pressed towards their target at Carpiquet, south of Caen after the Spitfire has been taken care of.

I got "Dude, nice landing. Dude, where's my car?" recently There's some more that seem to be new but I can't remember right now.

Weird becausethe issue only appeared after the christmas patch. Mission was simply re-saved. And it's always happening with turbulance enabled in the weather settings mission editor. I'll test tomorrow but I'd hate to disable wake turbulance.
