i think there is an option in the release note to kill this improved spotting, you have to modify (or create ) a line in the config file. I haven't tried yet, but I'm not sure this modification is effective

BTW : Any cheap and half decent desktop PC with 16GB of RAM should be fine running a dedicated DCS server. FWIW : I'm running a Dell optiplex 7040, i7 6th gen and 32GB of RAM you can find them refurbished for quite cheap. It used to be i5/16GB before some late upgrade and it was perfectly up to the task running a MP Liberation campaign with 5 of my squadron mates.

Run a dedicated DCS mission server, preferably on a different PC (which doesn't need any special GPU, only some RAM and CPU). If you don't have a spare PC , you can run a separate DCS server on your gaming PC. It should benefit from the Mulicore/thread ability of your system, and ease up the load on the main DCS instance.

Yes! THX

Hey OB guys ! Is the double undesignate bug fixed with today's patch ?

hi ! Thank you for the double-undesignate trick. TWS designation was puzzling me. TBH this appears super counter-intuitive to me. Is it "correct as it" is or a bug recently introduced ?

Any mod around taking care of this issue ?

Yes I know about the relation between FOV and sense of speed. Before VR and DCS ruined every other hobbies of mine, I was playing Assetto Corsa. The fact is, whenever I fly over cars, I suddenly get a proper sense of scale, and I can't help myself thinking : " Wow ! I'm fast after all". Therefore my sense of scale is wrong most of the time, I believe (but could be wrong) the big trees are a likely culprit.

Hi BN ! I'm running DCS in VR with oculus max resolution and PD set at 1.0 My IPD is set in game to a point where everything in the cockpit feels "right" especially my legs and torso ^^ Regarding the tree scale, I can't help notice at low altitude that most of them are very tall. This is obvious when they are right beside 3 or 4 storey building (I'm thinking Syria).

Everything is in the title. We only seem to have giant trees. Perceived scale of the terrain is completly wrong. So is the sense of speed. I only regain a proper sense of speed when I see some road trafic and cars. Is there a mod around which reduce the size of tree 3D model ?

Free flight on Syria is showing very good performance but as soon I'm under a complex mission (Liberation Syria) things getting very problematic : - Very slow texture loading at the beginning of a mission on the carrier. Everything is grey and it may take up to 1 or 2 minutes to slowly see patches of texture appearing until it's completed. Never seen this happening before. - Random freezes during the flight, the game is transitionning to a powerpoint slideshow then it will completely freeze with an hour glass appearing. This freeze will resolve between 30sec to 2 minutes. My specs are : Quest 2 / 5800X 3D / 32GB / M2 / 3080TI / Mission are running from a dedicated PC Server (Dell 7040 desktop i5/16GB/SSD) Any ideas ?

I hate to admit it, but I have read many guides, seen zillion of YT videos, forum threads and whatnot, but so far, I'm still not sure how to properly switch to OpenXR. I am saturated with too many infomations, and I suppose half of them are deprecated. DCS is running on Steam, and I am running DCS through OculusVR and VRPerfkit with pretty good result. But I'm willing to take the plunge into the latest stable MT release and OpenXR. FWIW my specs are: Quest 2, 5800X-3D , 32GB, M2, 3080ti I have a few basic questions for you guys : 1- What is the bare minimum I need to download to install OpenXR ? - OpenXR toolkit ? - OpenXR dev tools ? - OpenXR Tools for Windows Mixed Reality App - OpenXR composite ? - None of the above ? - It's already there stupid ! 2 - I keep hearing about the different options you (might) need to tweak under OpenXR. - Reprojection /ASW - Turbo mode - CAS - foveated rendering - FSR Where do I find these options : - OTT/ODT ? - Oculus software ? - OpenXR toolkit ? - None of the above 3 - How do I make sure OpenXR is properly installed ? Right now I'm not even sure I have it installed or not. Oculus software is suggesting it's the active OpenXR runtime, but it's greyed out and I can't set it otherwise. 4 - Do I still need to run ODT or OTT every now and then ? Can I forget these for good ? 5 - I have upgraded to the latest stable release, but I can't see any option to launch the MT exe with the steam launcher. Why ? Do I need to manualy create a shortcut from the MT binaries folder and tweak it with --force_enable_VR --force_enable_OpenXR ? Sorry for beeing such a dumbass, and thank you for taking the time to sort the mess in my head

I know the sense of speed is FOV related, as in real life, but we do have a huge scale issue with the trees. Trees are way too big, so we wrongly estimate the size of all other things. The sense of speed is really impacted at low altitude. I always turn the road traffic on. It gives a proper scale and brings back the sense of speed as soon as I fly over cars.

Hi, I have a color banding issue on the night skies. As if the color depth were coded in 8 or 16bits. Is this a known bug with a solution ? FWIW I have a 3080TI , and a cable-linked Quest 2. ODT is set to force encoding at 500Mbps, so I suppose it's not a video compression issue. Any settings I could have missed ? Thx.

I have a Quest 2 and use VRperfkit, with good results it's way easier to install ( only 2 files to drop in your DCS folder) and you get (supposedly) similar perf boost. https://github.com/fholger/vrperfkit

This is more or less what I did on the existing Monstertech stick mount, I have used a 600mm 8040 profile for the main part, one 200mm to attach the stick plate on the lower part, and a 100mm for the upper part that is sitting on the desk. You will also need some plastic caps to clean the edges, some M5 bolts, and eight 90° connectors. Ordered every parts on Amazon. https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00SWOEQ6U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0B9G8YW7L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B09F9HJY1M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B08M5MMD7C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 you can also order the clamp here https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0051YM8DC/?coliid=I1H1J57ZIKL867&colid=L9ST7S98M8L7&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I think 8040 aluminum profile is a safer bet. I have a VR setup which tends to become really heavy with warthog hotas and all the latest Winwing panels and stuff. My hotas mount is a made by Monstertech, https://www.monster.tech/en/product/joystick-hotas-table-mount/ I had to modify it in order to support Winwing stuff and I'm really glad they used 8040 in the first place. See the result here : https://imgur.com/a/7oN0Sim

update : no more Tomcats, and no more crash, Liberation is now rock solid.

I'm happy to report more than 2 hours straight, with my wingman, on a single local liberation MP mission. This includes two successful returns to the super carrier deck for both of us. No Tomcats=no issue. Too bad 'cos I love having those big birds around, hopefuly, Heatblur and DCS devs are working on a solution.

Hi, I think you should read this thread :

oh well... I think the answer might be here : https://forum.dcs.world/topic/299954-game-freezingnot-responding/page/1/ next step : restart the campaign and get rid of the AI F14, too bad

I'm glad I've found this topic. Like almost everyone else here, I've got the usual freeze when flying back in the bubble of the supercarrier at the end of the mission. I'm running Liberation MP with a dedicated server on a separate PC. I also fly Liberation with a virtual squadron and this crash has never happened once. I could not figure out why until today... we simply don't have F14 around. The next step is pretty obvious, restart the campaign without the fourteens

Another VR freeze after 45mn into the mission . I'm affraid the shiny new pagefile didn't help long. Nothing fancy in the log, some audio error, but I don't think it's related. I'm running short on ideas dcs.log

You might also try Through the Inferno, which s a cool PVE sandbox with real time automated missions spawn. There is one for every theater. There is an online MP server, but the SP sandbox is available and it can be easily modified for private MP hosting. https://throughtheinferno.com/

Don't you ever sleep Flappie ? I've just had my first flight without freezing since a long time. It might a bit soon for a victory claim but this is a real progress. I believe I'm not the first one to solve an issue by setting a fixed size page file. Not so sure why I would need it with 32gb, but DCS & Windows do have a lot of mysteries. I will let you know if this crash is back or gone for good but I need some further testing. Again Flappie, thank you for your help, insight and availability, you really are a (strong and helpful) pillar of this community.
