You want all those bugs and network disconnects back ? ehhhhh Rather give me the DCS of 2025 today

It might just have been bad luck in the silicon lottery or maybe another batch of the same spec IC that just runs better due to unknown reasons for us mortals. I wouldn't nail it on the RGB premium. You would need a whole batch of each to verify this.

Tbolt-214th, yep, that is me, LoL. I am not so sure about the 2nd in Command, for sure one of the most active Pilots back then. What drove it down was the netcode of Flanker at that time, we had constant disconnects and all that stuff and over time that killed the fun and in the end the Annihilators.After that period I started R/C flying for about 20 years. That taught me lot about "flying" but I don't have the time and patience needed for highly complex R/C aircraft anymore.That was about the time I checked the A-10C/Ka-50 website again which was then called DCS, just that I meanwhile ran a MacbookPro LoL...it worked ! It worked so good I am hooked ever since, despite the little time I have to free my mind and actually fly something. Back in those days I was in my mid 20's and no kids, now I am in my mid 50's and have a 6 and 8 year old one running circles around me. Bet that I am done at 8pm and I wish I had the energy to just grab the stick and go for it, I just don't and instead relax while watching DCS youtube videos, toss some VMware machines around, do some Teamviewer work...and wish I was flying, low and dirty Maybe it's time to get back into Gear, it's all ready to fire up and take off. Maybe a bit rusty in "what's the key for xyz". Helicopter sounds good to me, I love the Ka and Mi

105 !?? Klingt wie ein schlechter Witz, oder ? Selbst wenn die Dinger nur 5-10 Jahre im Lager halten und nur so-und-soviel Stunden Flugzeit haben dürfen und man dafür "erstmal" nur diese Menge bestellt und dann wieder welche nachbestellt wenn ein gewisser Prozentsatz ausgemustert wird, kommen mir 105 ehrlich gesagt zu wenig vor. Zieh mal gleich 10% ab wegen XYZ Gründen, dann bleiben weniger als Einhundert. Wieviel ballern die im Moment von Ost nach West ?? Langt nicht mal 2 Tage ! Erklär mir mal einer die Doktrin in der <100 ausreicht. Bitte eine Doktrin die Luftüberlegenheit voraussetzt.

Daumenregel: RAM = SWAP Ich habe fast alle Kombinationen im Laufe der Jahre durchprobiert und habe es seit einiger zeit auf System Managed stehen...und das System nimmt sich satte 65536 MB Swap, im 2D Modus. Solange Deine SSD genug Platz hat, hau rein ! Wenn's am RAM oder SWAP hängt, hängt alles ! ..und wenn's wirklich voll ausgenutzt wird gibt's nen fetten "Out of Memory" Abbruchfehler. Die Meinungen über 32 oder 64GB RAM gehen tendentiell mehr zu 64GB, gerade bei VR. Wobei ich im "D-Modus locker 48GB verheizen kann und nicht selten im MP schon 54-56GB usage hatte. Möchte nicht wissen wie das mit 32GB stottern würde, egal wieviel swap du hast. Hubraum kannste mittlerweile ja zur Hälfte durch Ladedruck/Turbo wett machen, bei RAM gibt's sowas noch nicht. Wenn der Speicherdruck steigt muss erstmal mehr RAM rein und den SWAP am besten auf System Managed stehen lassen und nach ein paar sessions mal nachschauen was das OS eingestellt hat. Kannste ja erst mal ohne DCS machen und Werte auslesen, dann mal heftig DCS MP auf nem vollen Server für 1-2h, dann schnellt die Nadel aber schnell hoch beim zugewiesenen SWAP, weit über dem "empfohlen" Wert. edit: Wenn möglich sollte die SWAP weder auf dem OS noch DCS Laufwerk liegen. Dafür brauchts aber mindestens 3 SSD, am besten ne NVMe für SWAP denn dort spulst du GB-weise Zeug rauf und runter. Wie unten im Bild, meine SWAP liegt auf der GAMES NVMe. Dort sind nur Spiele die nach aller Voraussicht nie SWAP brauchen werden. Bei VMware komme ich oft an +90% RAM usage ran, da könnte auch der eine oder andere Überschwapper stattfinden, aber nicht so heftig wie bei DCS bei Vollgas MP I my 2 cents

Afaik I was the only german member in 214th Annihilators. Rockfire was from NZ iirc. Mongoose was from the UK, and tbh I forgot the other names. I don't think I was 2nd in command. I may have had the most posts on our old page's Bulletin Board. I am almost certain that Rockfire is no more with us since he was already in his mid 60's and either just before his retirement or was already retired... some 25 years ago. What is your Time Zone ?

As far as I remember Gel was from Trinidad & Tobago and didn't he run some IT Business back then. Those were glory days, on Dual ISDN lines with 128kB/sec, a PIII-600 and and a few MB of RAM LoL. Let's see if we can get more of the old gang together. I talked to Mongoose some years ago but iirc he stopped flying Sims, hope I am wrong. Wish Hengist was around as well, he was the right match for GS's dogfights. I can participate in the evenings ( local german time UTC +1h ( +2h summertime ) and assist in technical matters when it comes to hosting, servers, etc.. I own modules across all genres , ca. 75%, and usually have all maps. I am open to all kinds of missions but due to lack of time and children that I raise by myself I am sometimes just too damn done to hop into the Apache and learn it or keep pace with F-18 or 16 and all those were flying is secondary but knowing the onboard systems is vital. I have to heavily invest time into those modules. It's like you basically know what you want and need to do...just how do I tell this stupid plane what I want...that kind of thing LoL Anywhere, keep me in the loop if you proceed in reviving the "214th VFS"

Here I am Long time ago I was with the 214th Annihilators flying the F22 TAW and Flanker series... man, that's two decades ago. My nick back than was "Tbolt" or long version, Thunderbolt. Iirc, Archimedes was the General/Leader, Mongoose and Hengist and all the other's. I have little time but who knows, if the gang is right I am with it.

From my understanding you can't compare 3600-DDR4 to 3600-DDR5 as I am very confident that the DDR5 kit would run at a far higher true latency and that may cause the stutter. We would need the timings for 3600 with DDR5 and DDR4 to calculate the true latency in nanoseconds and compare those, Apples to Apples. Buying RAM remains rolling the dice to some extend

Isn't that the new screen that won't run at given spec with any Nvidia card ?? Regardless of that, no current card would give you 240Hz at that resolution in DCS, and no DCS-capped-180 either.

Having a 2nd slot for a channel is mildly said a "complicated" idea first off, there is no denying in that. There are basically TWO ways of solving the problem of how to connect a 2nd slot aside the first one, it's not a true channel, it's a 2nd slot to one channel. There is T-Topology and Daisy-Chain Topology, both have advantages and disadvantages but none is beneficial for higher clocks or lower latency, it's the other way around. You have to let loose and talk slower. Same context in other words: IF you plan to max out your RAM capacity for a given platform and are forced to use the 2nd slots per channel, stay away from the top tier modules, it's wasted money. IF you can achieve your desired amount of RAM with 1 Dimm per channel only, do that, you can go all the way into MHz and low latency. If you are somewhere in the middle, like I am with my current config from machine in sig, you have to choose a motherboard that can cope with 4 modules ( watch reviews ) and find the desired, matching RAM. Fir example, I could have gone 2 modules á 32GB but those have a bad latency, I wanted B-Die but B-Die doesn't come in 32GB modules as the only make 8Gbit dies, so one of my 4 16GB Dimms is already dual ranked with 16 dies. B-Die loves oc, my mobo allows 4 modules to be oc'ed up to the limit where the AMD Infinity Fabric has it's limit, 1800MHz. I didn't know before if it works out, I was lucky, XMP worked OOTB and giving 1.48v let's them run at 3600 with same CL14 settings...just lucky ! My other PC, same B-die, 4 modules with 8 8Gbit dies each, 4x8GB, will not run at 3600, only 2 modules allow XMP and even go well beyond 4000. Just with 4 modules, anything over 3000 makes it go BSOD in a matter of weeks. Tried many many nights to fix that, it's the poor Board RAM layout to blame, the RAM works superb, just not in that board with 4 modules. With DDR5 you can easily do 64GB in 2x32GB and stay away from the headache. For 128GB I would also suggest 2x64GB module once available for mainstream. The DDR5 limit on Desktop is 256GB with 4 modules, once those modules/dies are available to the market.

The CPU behaves as advertised by AMD. If you use 2 modules per channel max supported speed is 3600MT/sec. 1 module per channel is 5200MT/s. Anything faster is a "may or may not work". The faster, the more modules, the lower the latency the lower the chances of success. Coupled with a board that by definition ( trace layout for 2nd slot per channel ) doesn't like 4 modules at any speeds higher than 3600 MT/s and you are stuck. What you experience is the guaranteed performance, not a failure or shortcoming. What you ask for is not guaranteed and may or may not work depending on your particular choice of hardware. Check your boards QVL if it supports 4 modules at 6000 MT/s, I doubt it does.

Usually, these symptoms originate from motherboards with sub-optimal memory traces on the PCB. There is not much that you can do but change the mobo. It will likely not work with 4 modules at higher speeds. Signal integrity and timing issues are the main culprit afaik, but that is beyond our reach to fix. Bottom line out of my experience. Your board won't run 4 sticks at higher speeds and good latency, maybe not even with high latency. I have been there with a few boards myself and it's a waste of time to try to get it working. my 2 cents

Let's hope, I fear something else went south before and the missing folder is only 1 of more issues soon to find out. Let's hope I am wrong, I just paint it black to avoid disaster striking.

I knew a "Me-109" Pilot from WWII when I was a young kid, he helped me built my first sail plane and often took me for a walk through the woods telling me many things about airplanes, like Center of Gravity, Pitch & Roll and Yaw, the BASICS of how a plane flies. He never used Bf, for him it was the Me or Messerschmitt or often just "hunnerdneun" in slang. Correct, in Wikipedia and manuals and other legal papers you will likely read Bayerische Flugwerke AG but that is not how the people here in Germany remember it. It's actually one of the few WWII Birds I don't have a "Walk Around" book about....just checked eBay and Amazon....damn...it's 114,83€ for the Booklet nowadays. Got them for way less 30 years ago in the States. The Book titel reads: "Messerschmitt Bf-109g Walk Around". https://www.amazon.de/Messerschmitt-109g-Walk-Around-Hans-Heiri/dp/B00SB24NGG/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1695064036&sr=8-1

The folder is created by DCS. I would just add it manually and check that the rights & permissions match the default scripts folder, which are "System" "User" and "Administrators" have full access, that should fix the missing folder.

I would not invest too much time, ideas, hopes and finally money into the fastest RAM kit you can obtain. There are many reasons for this unless you have deep pockets and generally don't mind spending hours over hours testing between 1.46v and 1.48v...maybe that CL will hold with 0.01v more..maybe not... etc.. CPU and board play a big role on how far you can push things anyway ( faster with MHZ and lower with latency ), the more modules ( 2 vs. 4 ), the faster and lower the latency the more grey hair !. My tip, Capacity over Speed, always. Nothing is worse than too little memory in your system, nothing will fix that but more memory. The penalty in gameplay experience between 3200 and 3600 is smaller than a system with too little RAM vs. one with just enough RAM. Look at servers and Workstations, Capacity over Speed. Reliability over "the last FPS tweaked out" If you are lucky, you can tune your RAM to some nice values. But it needs luck, patience and some skills which you can learn. Just dont blame anybody if you spend a whole night booting and testing...LoL

You might find one or the other native german that doesn't know what a Bf-109 is and what it means but you will find none who doesn't know what Me-109 stands for.

Germans usually refer to it as Me-109, enthusiasts know the Bayerische Flugwerke AG origin but everybody knows Willi Messerschmitt desgined it, that's why maybe Me-109 is the one being used at the Stammtisch.....now google that one

Google or Bing is your friend Ok, here are the steps to create the task: Press the Start button and search and open Task Scheduler. Click Create basic task in the Actions pane. Set a Name and a Description for the task and click Next. Choose When a specific event is logged as the trigger and click Next. Select Application as the log, Process Exit as the source, and DCS.exe as the event ID and click Next. Choose Start a program as the action and click Next. Browse for a script file that will display the message you want. You can use PowerShell or VBScript to create the script. For example, you can use this PowerShell script: Add-Type -AssemblyName PresentationFramework [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show('Remember to do these things when shutting down DCS', 'Reminder') Click Next and then Finish to create the task. Now, whenever you close DCS, you should see a popup message on your screen. I hope this helps. Is there anything else I can do for you? Hey, that's from Bing AI, not me

I personally don't expect Vulkan to arrive anytime soon after reading this thread here: see post 30th Aug '23.....still a long way to go.

I deleted Baldur's Gate II despite I loved it but it got too addictive so I cut the rope and went on. ....hasn't Baldur's Gate III been in the talks lately... I got time now...heck, it's 25 years later LoL.

That's a good reference to start with and actually the way it should be. Keep it simple, keep it sleek and only change 1 thing at a time. I can't complain about Windows Server stability as well, never could tbh, just the price tag is hard to swallow for hobby use. Maybe in the distant future we will see a native Linux based DCS core...it's hard to imagine not to go that route some point in time.

That is not what you should do ! DCS really requires some kind of SSD meanwhile and it is also stated in the minimum system requirements. Cancel that order and get a proper 1TB or bigger SSD for DCS instead. You will not like DCS on a HDD.

Watch this:
