You can already see this on the F10 map like is shown in your example. Nearly every server I see has your aircraft symbol enabled, likely for this reason.

The “expectation” of the feature is in how the Auto mode functions. I believe it draws 1 pixel for 1080x1920 and 2x2 pixels for 2160x3840 (these sizes would be equal). The manual adjustments are what they are, they’ll always be exploitable or egregious if applied to a lower resolution. Honestly 4 pixels in 4K is still quite large. 4 pixels in 1080p is gigantic. If you’re starting to realize what a bad system this is… you’re right. If you want bigger dots in SP there’s always the dot labels. I believe those are configurable any way you like them.

That’s June 1st 2025. That’s correct. Everything is running fine now. I just did a repair and the trouble hasn’t repeated. Why are there two of these? My install of the game is from after ST was discontinued, that’s what the installer set up. In any case it doesn’t seem to matter. Honestly I don’t think the analyzer hands out the correct advice. It just says this same thing for every log. Core parking is already disabled in W11 running the high performance power plan. Game Mode really doesn’t affect anything. Same with HAGS. Plus I run other games so messing with the machine just for DCS isn’t practical. Disabling core isolation isn’t a good idea as it’s a security risk. Those graphics tips don’t make much difference either. Or I just don’t like the effects. None of these make the game crash or not. Thanks

I think you’re looking for a different game. DAMS Digital Aircraft Maintenance Simulator As a pilot it’s irrelevant to you whether your hard flight the day before required the crew to work all night pulling the engines from your plane. Your job remains the same. Certain dynamic war servers (and hopefully the upcoming dynamic campaign) already track resources like fuel, weapons and whether or not you bring the plane back. But handling any more than that probably isn’t feasible or realistic. And ED likely doesn’t have the resources to add modeling every loose screw to modules that already take years to complete. And looking at the example of WWII with its extreme demands on materiel and resources, how hard the pilots handled their aircraft simply wasn’t a factor. Even severe combat losses didn’t affect the ability of nations to keep their aircraft flying or their industry running. Maybe in extreme cases like the final stages of the war for the Axis but the truth is they really ran short on pilots, not aircraft.

4K definitely shows dots, I’m using that and can certainly see them. But again the setting can just be exploited at lower resolutions and a 3 size option would just make it even more so. Off is the most realistic setting for these anyways.

I believe it already scales like that. “Small” is 1 pixel and “Large” is 2x2 pixels. So in Auto mode 4K dots are 4x the size of 1080p ones. Of course the system can just be exploited by manually selecting large dots at 1080p Most all the severs I see allow this manual setting. So when you play online just realize you’re visible to the other players as a giant square.

Although that was a very bad problem it’s since been remediated through BIOS updates. Those were introduced about August of 2024. So a new chip won’t have that issue.

The game froze and I had to cancel it running. dcs.log DxDiag.txt

I never had any trouble from my RGB software. Corsair iCUE

Whew that sounds better. When mine crapped out that’s what happened. Everything crashed.

Did you own that 14900KF prior to the BIOS microcode fix last August or so? Are you aware of the Intel 13-14 series degradation issue?

This is what the old Trench Experience was like. It was cold and had this authentic smell.

I was just there a few weeks ago. The last time I had visited was back in ‘99. It’s quite an impressive collection. The uniforms are in such good condition they could be mistaken for repros which I assume they are not. It’s a bummer that the Trench Experience is gone or greatly reduced. That was fantastic. Definitely a must see place.

You just pull it down in the menu. If it’s not showing you’re doing something crazy wrong in Windows. This shouldn’t be so hard to figure out…

That’s a good sign. Mine revealed a substantial drop in that score.

Good deal. When my 13 crapped out it started to show performance trouble in just a few games like DCS that stress the CPU a lot.

@Gunfreak did you own that 13700K prior to the BIOS fix last August? You might be aware of that degradation issue affecting these right?

I don’t know if you have followed the issues with the power connectors on the 4090 and 5090. Make sure that thing is solidly connected to the card and not bent or anything, even wiggling it can make it come loose. Then it can melt. Ask me how I know There are some cables with angled heads or other devices that can alleviate the bending strain.

The 5090 is a heavy card. You might want to make sure it’s seated completely into the slot and consider using a support bracket. This sort of thing happened with my 4090. If the machine has been worked on or moved it’s worth checking. Also make sure the power connector is seated fully until it clicks. If you don’t have an angled head on that and depending on your case make sure it’s not bent tightly.

This looks interesting, I’ve never used it but maybe there is some feedback here. I just have to imagine head tracking is going to work better with actual sensors and that really just amounts to wearing a visor cap. But maybe this is worth a try.

Yeah same here. Trying to generate a simple mission with 8 ground units and the progress stays stuck at 95%

Bad idea!

Maybe adjusting the response curves on OpenTrack would help. I don’t have trouble like that with TrackIR. Maybe the settings are too sensitive. You should be able to get very realistic visibility in 4K without the need for dots or labels.

Are you using the zoom view? Because you should be. And to be realistic it wouldn’t always be easy to see a ground target especially if it’s camouflaged. You should have no trouble getting realistic visibility with that display though.
