First of all thanks for the replies and sorry for the double post. So, I've reduced preload radius down to 0 and closed all those updaters and other worthless programs running in the background and it worked! sort of... It now stutters way less then before and I actually was able to takeoff this time. tho there are still some issues whom prevent me from finally pressing the checkout button on the those DCS modules. It takes forever for the mission to load and an eternity to exit back to the menu. I was brave enough to Alt-tab (which froze my pc for a long while) to view my CPU usage and it looked like DCS was using 1.2GHz only when in the menu. I remember playing lock-on way back and from what it seems the map didn't really change since in terms of graphics and such, and coming back to this really leaves me puzzled. Anyhow, I was looking to replace my machine with a notebook and was wondering how would this dell would handle the load. and if not this maybe a different one can. http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-17r-se-7720/pd?oc=fncwn24&model_id=inspiron-17r-se-7720

OK, I've downloaded DCS world to try it out before going for the Huey. After installing the sim I began a quick\instant mission with the Su-25t to check frames and overall performance. The loading time took about 5-10 minutes and when that was over, I was finally ingame which had this terrible stuttering. I assume it is not necessarily FPS because I had TIR on and I was able to look around smoothly in the cockpit but every ~30m/s it would stutter or suffer massive FPS drop. which rendered the game to pretty much unplayable-ness Ive tried all kinds of solutions suggested around here but with no avail. I have this old machine im running: Windows 64 bit Intel Core I5 750 @ 2.66ghz Nvidia Geforce GTX 570 2GB GDDR5 4GB ram (not sure about mhz) Corsair 650W PSU So My question is if im doing something wrong or its just my PC that is not able to handle this one.

So im going to get the UH-1H (My first DCS aircraft) and I wanted to know how well does it work with facetrack? IMO I find it essential to look around freely whilst flying a chopper and pressing buttons to do so is not ideal. Track ir is going to get me bankrupt so i wont go down that path. Facetrack is the #1 option for me and would like some opinions on it? Some pros and cons could be cool. Thnx in advance!
