wasn't addressed - ie. have to zoom in to see runway lights while the lights of the city are visible at same range...

I would agree, F-15 lighting seems rather hosed in the night missions now. Not impressed

1. performance improvements. Well, last patch, killed fps in VR. So that went backwards 2. lighting - is terrible. Bloom effects overdone. Flew F-15 in NTTR last night, radar and rwr lines where thicker, it didn't look very good at all. I think this went backwards. Any chance we can have this as a setting ? 3. missile dynamics - each release the aim-7 has different characterics (we test this, chaff resistence, etc...). Dsync continues to be horrible ED, obviously move forward, but don't move backwards. Don't say perf improvements then throw in a bunch of fps killers in new patches.

I fly exclusive F15 (some Viper) - is this available now for F15 and is it IC compliant ?

Has there been a hotfix for VAICOM yet - just curious - thanks! (I've turned it off until there is a fix)

same, if I start up voice attack and viacom - my DCS now won't run. so I had to repair and let it delete files - so hoping for a fix soon

wow, like tons of instructions, a hodge podge setup. Too bad DCS snapview just don't 'work'

Ok nice - any chance you can share your setup - and is this IC compliant ? My old neck can't handle it but I can't fly anymore without VR :)

exactly, newer engine and different engine, it's not apples to apples here so... ? Plus IL2 is garbage compared to DCS :)

Great example of a thread getting highjacked, 4 pages with none of it having to do with the 8kx benchmarks with DCS.

ok so how do you install it and use it ... 'should work'

hopefully fixed soon.

this mod is fantastic

yes, it's clearly not working correctly, hopefully they fix it in next patch

looking forward to F-16 support - thanks!

fantastic - really looking forward to this. you mention VR - I didn't quite understand the support - are you saying this would work with VR ? Are the position and sizing possible ?

DCS IPD is incorrectly named, it has nothing to do with IPD

After quite some experimentation, I've found a great happy spot (for now lol). PD 1.0 SS start at 100%, adjust until you are getting the picture quality and frames that work for you. For me and my system it's 150%. No MSAA, No shadows, 16x AF. High performance in video card settings. Result - (1) looks fantastic at 150%, stunning to be honest (2) I get 45-60 fps online, and in simple missions offline 60-90 fps. (ie. tanker refueling mission) PD has some serious implications on perf - more so than SS. Its of my opinion as well that you don't want to set both, ie. 1.5 and 150% - this is basically imo oversampling and takes substantial hit. If I move the PD to 1.5, I take 10-15 fps hit, and honestly it doesn't look much different to me than 150% SS. My 2 cents, I realize for everyone it's different, but I setup both offline and online mission, testing each PD and % until I found good perf with good visuals. Time consuming, but definitely revealing

not to kick a dead horse here, however: When testing some fps and settings for my Reverb, I did find quite a difference in fps based on the map, so there is certainly a correlation here. ie. on a popular mp server (104th). mission #1 Caucus - spawn in at Sochi. 45 fps. Flight was consistent 43-48 fps mission #2 Persian Gulf - spawn in at Kish. 60 fps. Flight was consistent 55-60 fps Both flown in F-15. So I do fully believe the map itself is a major part of the fps.

like why doesn't the software just handle this - it's so hodge podge. Like, yes, I want the new features - can you install them ?

so, this is soooo confusing ok, so I have a vap file - now what. copy what ? what 'category' - this is terrible documentation by the way. Like how do I 'copy over my existing profile' - how about instructions like 'goto this folder, find this file, copy it over' etc.. I already did a 702 command copy and paste, so what is this for ?

Save your money for pimax 8kx - will be the top dog Going to hopefully get a 3080 to go with it .. should be a good year for VR and a bad year for my wallet lol But no way would I get a 5plus - if you wanted lower end the Artisan looks good for the $

There are definitely map difference. Using 104th server as an example: PG map - Kish AF, spawn in F-15: 60 fps - maintain 60 for most the entire mission Caucus map, spawn in F-15, 40 fps, after takeoff more like 45

That would be great!

we all keep praying for it -so don't stop, any glimmer of hope of the best superiority aircraft ever made in DCS getting revamped... even if not clickable, I wouldn't mind seeing an updated radar
