I didn't have RS selected on the PCA. That step isn't listed in Chuck's guide and they didn't mention it in the videos I was watching. Thanks for the help!

I set the radio altimeter to M. I also tried the other two modes. I selected BF1, the only option available in that mission. My altitude varied from starting my dive at 15,000 ft to starting at 3,000 ft.

edit: NOT A BUG: I didn't have RS selected on the PCA. That step isn't listed in Chuck's guide and they didn't mention it in the videos I was watching. I tried CCIP bombing for the first time on DCS 2.0 NTTR with the instant action ground attack mission. I followed Chuck's guide and a couple youtube tutorials and couldn't figure out why I would never see the CCIP pipper when diving to bomb and then I noticed that I have to pitch down 90 deg to see the pipper because the pipper is stuck at 90 deg down. It doesn't move. I'm over 400 knots as recommended. This has to be a bug.

I wonder if it's possible to create a mod or an alternate cockpit version of the Mig-21 that is performance friendly enough that it would run at a good frame rate in virtual reality. I have a 980 TI and i7-6700K 4.2 ghz and the frame rate is unacceptable using the Oculus Rift. Pretty much every other module gets a good frame rate.

I understand how to install skins but how do you select them from within the game? Can I select a skin from within the game and then do an instant action mission using that skin?

I'm glad you guys mentioned this. I thought I was the only one and I thought it was a problem with my DK2. I get the flickering in the left eye.

That was it. Num Lock key wasn't switched on. Thanks!

Doesn't work for me either and I haven't found an option to change the re-center key.

Yeah, I know, I acknowledged that it was in the same post you quoted me in. I just said that I was guessing that it hadn't been "fully implemented" yet because we should see much larger FPS gains than we're seeing now I would assume based on my limited experience with time warp in FlyInside FSX.

I don't believe I said it was stutter free, in fact it's far from that because it's a terribly optimized engine. FlyInside provides two FPS numbers: one for the actual FPS and one for time warp assisted FPS. On my PC the time warp assisted FPS only drops below 75 when the actual FPS dips below 40. That's where I got my 80% boost number (75 is an 87% increase over 40). My CPU of 3.4 ghz shouldn't be that much of a factor on a properly optimized engine but unfortunately DCS 1.5 still needs much improvement in this area.

Thanks, good info. If it's enabled by default in 0.7 then that means that all demos and games that are 0.7 compatible have async time warp but some of those games don't run any better than they did in 0.6 so I imagine that just because it's enabled by default doesn't mean that it's really being utilized until the dev chooses to utilize it. I imagine that's what they're working on now. We might see an 80% fps boost once it's fully implemented as I saw for myself in FlyInside FSX.

DCS 1.5 Oculus Rift DK2 performance I have an i7-3770 3.4ghz quad core and a Nvidia GTX 980ti superclocked. Here is my experience with performance in the DK2 in the DCS 1.5 Beta: Mig-21 performance is atrocious. It's by far the worst and is absolutely unplayable even on my 980 ti superclocked - the fastest card you could possibly buy. If I turn every single graphics setting to its absolute lowest level I get on average 30 fps in the 'takeoff' instant action scenario. The other scenarios are similar in fps. The other aircraft modules don't work very well either and even keeping a steady 75 fps on medium graphics settings is not possible when flying low near cities. Some of the modules like the Mig-15 and F-86 run pretty well on medium settings some of the time though. Shadows - even the lowest setting - are a huge performance loss and have to be turned off completely. If ED implements asynchronous time warp we should see a roughly 80-90% increase in performance. When I played the FlyInside FSX demo, asynchronous time warp would maintain a steady 75 fps even though my actual performance would dip down to 40 fps. Below 40 fps it could not hold 75 fps. If anyone has any tips or tweaks please post them here. I'm always looking for anything that will boost my fps in the DK2.

I imagine most people who attack another person and are then proven wrong would have nothing left but to criticize the other person's "attitude".

Ah yes, so you don't actually know what you're talking about then. Your irrelevant question has now been proven to be based on an assumption that you made and a really bad assumption considering lots of other people in here and other forums were talking about it failing "9/10" times or higher. It's probably different for different people based on their systems but in my case it was literally about a 2% success rate. Now, with the Vista compatibility fix that someone figured out, it's a success rate of about 80%.
