I would think he can but in any quick missions so far he never finds them on radar. I’m not in look-down either. I guess these instant action BVR scenarios all have you in a merge where there are only seconds to find them. So not very likely I suppose.

Turned off the OC but it still quit to the desktop after running a while Events251012-1.evtx DxDiag.txt dcs-quit.log dcs.log

Tried rolling back driver, still crashed. Also had one quit to desktop DxDiag.txt dcs.log-20251012-204252.zip dcs-quit.log

I did just update that and it showed some errors. I’ll try rolling back to the prior version. Yes but as a factory OC it’s probably reliable enough and has been running DCS for years. I don’t think that’s the culprit. I did update after that first crash.

No

Another one after those fixes above. Loading the F-4 A2A training mission dcs.log-20251012-163737.zip DxDiag.txt

I’ll try these Yes I do but I don’t have any performance troubles with that. These are all up to date I have no OC except XMP. Been running DCS for years with that so I don’t think it’s the cause. If the simple repairs to DCS don’t work I’ll try this next. Thanks

The two recent crashes were with the F-4

Does Jester employ these by himself? Or do you need to tell him or do this as the pilot?

Yeah billboards are just more appropriate and even realistic to see at a Motorsport event. In a combat game? No. Especially one where the players are flying.

Already done in racing sims!

Solved, I had the switch to Off instead of TV

This doesn't seem to be working, isn't the missile warmed up in an air start? F-4E_TR_mav.trk

This gave me a small boost in another game but no improvement in DCS, despite being GPU bound here no trouble with temps or anything on my card

Ok mine does have the same options. I have it set to the “Optimized Defaults” and it works fine. That’s what my PC tech support recommended, I am certainly no expert, if you have support available it would be worth contacting them. I would be very cautious about using anything other than the Intel defaults due to the degradation problem affecting the 13-14th Gen CPUs

I use Arrow Up for my center view since it seems universally assigned in flight sims for plane control, which I don’t use. Plus it’s easy to find. Now that I read this I don’t recall deliberately un-assigning this in DCS. Have you tried simply using a different key? Just to test. (Oh I see you tried F12) Could “-“ be hard bound somehow? Maybe check the General category as well as the aircraft module.

It’s funny that there are forum rules about writing in all caps because that’s odd and distracting. But not rules about excessively bad writing, grammar or spelling. That’s actually more distracting. Yes English isn’t everyone’s first language but that’s true for readers as well. Someone who doesn’t read the language well won’t understand your post. A simple “excuse my English” in the signature line might be appropriate. It’s especially laughable when people (from English speaking countries) can’t bother to spell or write the aircraft names correctly. Oh and the plural of aircraft in English is aircraft.

I had a 13900K which ran DCS just fine without overclocking, the gains from that are rather minimal. I would be very careful about using anything but the Intel defaults with those chips after that degradation problem. I don’t notice any trouble running my 14900KS on the defaults. I have an Asus Z790 and don’t see the options you mention, maybe that varies between product lines (I have similar choices just called something different). I selected defaults via F5 in the BIOS and do not have the motherboard OC activated.

Yeah I don’t really know why this restriction is there but it must be for a reason. I won’t speculate on how that could be used for cheating.

Sure but you can use any of your own gameplay or tracks to evaluate this. A standard track seems like an easy logical solution and in many ways it is. Yet it hasn’t been done, probably for all those reasons above. It’s worth remembering that the track feature was meant as a debugging tool. Not other uses like a benchmark.

Again my guess is that pure textures are enforced to prevent cheating. So any custom textures will have to deal with that restriction.

Custom liveries are very cool. But the only way for other players to see them is to have them installed. That’s not too likely. If there was a way for players to submit these to the devs and then have those released as official packs, that would work. But I don’t see that happening.

What’s the point of using custom liveries online? Nobody else will be able to see them as it’s unlikely they will have those installed. My guess is Pure Textures are enforced to prevent cheating.
