What comes to mind is a particular account of the Luftwaffe fighting a rear guard action outnumbered 10:1. This unit just took off and landed, re-armed and went back up. Being so outnumbered the Soviet pilots didn’t even see the few enemy planes ambushing them. I think Robin Olds had a similar experience attacking a large group of the enemy.

Yeah that’s the rumor. I wonder how true that was. But any pre-recorded content being on the market would have forced a decision.

Nothing ruins a debate like facts Also the original topic here had nothing to do with Linux.

This market, PC gaming, is 95% Windows

A smartphone isn’t a device that can use just any separate OS like a PC. It’s an all-in-one device, hardware and software combined. In a way that’s why Apple can keep a segment of the PC market. They aren’t just selling an OS they’re selling the whole device. With its form factor and design appeal and such.

This market isn’t. It’s 95% Windows.

I’m curious what facts would lead you to that conclusion For Linux to go from its current 2.68% to 50%+ is just about impossible to imagine. Being a free OS it would seem nobody has anything to gain from promoting it. You won’t be seeing any “I’m a Linux” commercials with Justin Long in a penguin suit. Then it’s in everyone’s interest to gravitate to the most popular system or format like VHS vs Betamax. Nobody wants a world divided into several OSs for no good advantage.

I tried this when trouble shooting crashes. It didn’t work out very well. Not sure if it’s a good idea or not. Note Windows 11 Home doesn’t have Hyper-V A big warning was that it disabled my PIN code.

Multi-threading is the only version now. Those two .exe files are actually identical and the old mt one will be removed at some point. It’s actually recommended to change your shortcut to the other one.

Use Windows Pro? What I would find to be a pain about not having the bypass is I’d need the LAN driver ready on a flash drive. Who’s gonna have that? I found myself running to the public library to get on another PC. With the bypass method my motherboard has this pre-installed. Easy.

The Germans, being outnumbered, were in a target rich environment. American pilots had to be really aggressive to even find an enemy.

I didn’t say that. I just said I didn’t need it.

No because DCS and everything else runs completely fine without engaging in any of that stuff. When something does go wrong it’s something real. Like a burned out power connector or whatever. But the tweaking stuff isn’t worth my time if everything is fine without it.

Just saying I’ve never needed to use Park Control but it gets cited all the time from the log analyzer as if parking is the problem. The truth is my CPU just needs to be replaced but that’s nothing to do with parked cores. If my CPU isn’t defective I get no stuttering etc from having this enabled. Every time I’ve had performance or stability trouble it’s either the CPU or Windows that’s broken. Not any of the system tweaking stuff.

It would be ridiculous if any game or software developer actually required you to do these things in order to get their stuff to run well. Do EDs’ own internal testers engage in such tweaking? I hope not. The game should run well without requiring customers to get under the hood of their PC

I’ve never had any trouble from parked cores. The DCS log analyzer seems to just tell you this because it’s happening not because it’s the source of your trouble. And parking cores is normal behavior for Windows. My guess is disabling this will just use more power and generate more heat. My DCS and game problems always end up being caused by either a failed component or a corruption with Windows. Reinstalling either one of those is the fix. But not core parking.

I think messing with this was a bad idea. It didn’t do anything to solve Blue Screens and DCS still quit.

Veering off topic… Betamax had better recording quality but not the quality vs speed feature of VHS. It turned out being able to swap quality for recording length was a big deal considering it allowed someone to record a whole American football game. Among other things. Yes they did. Like an army that loses a war they did everything right in order to win the next one It was crazy that was ever fought out since there was a clear precedent in how it would end. The real loser was the consumer That was an interesting war to follow for sure Back on topic. Sometimes there can be only one because it’s in everyone’s interest to be that way. The realities of selling physical media on shelves literally makes room for only one winner. But software and OS products still have learning curves are extra labor and so forth.

Sure. A situation like this though will mean that everyone will gravitate towards the most popular system or format. To some, Betamax or HD DVD were the “better” products. In the end only one will dominate because that’s just more efficient for everyone.

You realize this wasn’t just a matter of pilot skill or aircraft right? German pilots never rotated out of action and flew until they became casualties. Germany was at war for a much greater amount of time than the US. They also flew on the eastern front against inferior aircraft and pilots. They did also become very skilled from flying such long tours though.

With this disabled in the BIOS my PIN code won’t function on the PC

DCS still crashed regardless. I think turning this off in the BIOS prevents those Hypervisor crashes though. Be careful. When I disable that in the BIOS my PIN won’t work on the PC and I need to use my password.

Woah this may have caused an instant CTD in DCS

Woah that may have been due to this Turned Virtualization back on but still crashed. The game ran one mission though instead of quitting instantly Events251020-2.evtx DxDiag.txt dcs.log-20251020-191149.zip
