I suppose it will have to be powered usb hub also? Had similar issue on Intel platform few years back with Hotas and had to use powered extension card (or hub in your case).

Based on past experience, they will do their best to deliver it before Christmas.

In DCS i don't. Because I can outrange the manpads with guns. The KA50 has a sniper rifle for a cannon. Even if in 50 shots I hit one at 4km range (seems about what I get on average), that's still more effective than wasting a missile. I understand the M320 AWS is much less of a sniper and more of an hit everything in the football field kind of gun, especially at longer ranges. So maybe I'll have to come up with a new strategy. Even then their flare rejection is so bad that you can dupe them with flares 99% of the time. On the other hand I don't want to waste 30 minutes flying back to base just because I spent all my missiles on infantry and then don't have enough for an actual threat (read SA15, SA19, ATGM capable ruskies, etc) that needs long range or high firepower (tank and... well mostly tank). Of course if I have missiles to spare I use them against manpads, even before I use them against APCs. It depends on the situation.
You are locked in game logic rather than realistic one. I would suggest reading few books from real combat scenarios first before judging what weapon platform should be used on what target just because it saves money or time.

I'm really looking forward to the Afghanistan map with all the choppers. MI-8, Mi-24, Apache... So much potential for great campaigns. Also learning new ways how to get helicopters up to the air in high altitudes. I still have in mind document from Afghanistan wars and how Russian pilots learned to take of on front wheel.
Polish pilots practicing the same here:

My guess, based on the equipment available at launch, the Petrovitch AI will be able to fly for you in a line, to a target, hover or fly over waypoints while you are in the front cockpit.
You can use the weapons from the pilot seat and you can fly the helicopter from the gunners seat also (in reality too). The difference is, that there are different tools available in each cockpit. For example pilot does not have access to the guided missiles console, gunner on the other hand lacks basic navigation devices, etc.

Basic campaign aside, Hind will truly shine with Afghanistan map release where we could see a lot of "reality" based Campaigns, including Apache Campaigns where Brits were flying them there a lot too.

No need to upgrade. The difference in gaming would be miniscule.

How long do the old chipsets usually stay in stock after the new generation has been released? I'm planning on waiting for the release of X570 and buy a higher middle end X470 at a discount as I don't see much point in buying X570 on release for premium price.
Well, the X370 are still being sold so I think you are ok from this point of view. :)

So it looks like ZEN2 is going to resolve the last remaining quirks of current Ryzens, memory speeds...
So up to 16 cores, supposedly up to 5 GHz Core clocks and now apparently also memory clocks up to 5 GHz. :)

Just checked the DCS menu FPS. I get 200 FPS there. My guess is that the max FPS is from the demo/menu switch. I have stopped the benchmark at the moment it was switching.
-
Thats an interesting result. Impressive max framerate, I guess that vega does work when it can stretch it legs. But your low and average frame rates seem to suffer from either the CPU or possibly the ram?
Hard to say. I have a 34" 3440x1440 monitor, so the game was running in a window with the settings from the original post. My RAM is running at 1866Mhz, I do not remember the timings. I did not close anything in background though, chrome, antivirus, all the store apps etc.
The max. FPS, I did not check it before, but maybe that was a spike when the replay stopped and menu appeared? I have closed it the second it stopped though.

I would be interested to hear of a DCS / Radeon VII experience as well .

Should I change to Red team when DCS supports Vulkan ?
nVidia supports Vulkan well too. The problem with this game is, that the nvidia drivers are most probably not optimized at all.
I own Vega myself, but you will be looking at similar boost in performance on nVidia as with AMD... ideally. It all depends how drivers will be optimized for DCS in this regard.
-
Only 8GB RAM so suitable only for regular single player mission. Expect stutters when in multiplayer.
It will be able to run DCS fine but not in heavy missions.
For VR, maybe on the lowest settings? I have hard time imagining how a mobile 2060 would be able to run it in decent settings.
-
Maybe your USB motherboard "hub" is overloaded. I've seen this happen with Saitek X-55. I had to buy a dedicated USB3 card to be able to have enough power for everything.
Try to disconnect all USB devices except for the KB and Mouse and test it. If you will still have the problem, then it's either an incoming HW failure of the Motherboard or you have a chipset driver issue. Reinstalling chipset drivers could help in this case, USB3 drivers for example too.

The game for some reason does not enforce full screen and runs on very low FPS unless I force the full screen by pressing ALT+Enter.
The Full screen option is marked in the options menu.
I have 3 monitors connected but use only one for the game.
It does not bother me much as pressing the keys does not cost me any time, but for people that are new to DCS or games/PCs all together, they will not know what to do if they would have the same issue.
-
The GPU utilization points to a problem with CPU bottleneck.
First try to hit ALT+Enter when you enter the mission. It will switch to Full screen. This helps me, for some reason even when you check the full screen option in options, the game does not enforce it.
If that does not help, make sure that the game is running only on physical cores and does not try to run on the hyper threaded ones. You can download Process Lasso for this, its free app.
-
I would guess you will not see much of gain in FPS, but you will see improvement in fluidity. No hiccups and stutters as there is no need to swap anymore with 32GB of RAM.

1. Check that you are running the game in native resolution of the monitor.
2. Check the monitor OSD menu for Overdrive setup, try to ramp it up.
3. Check at which refresh rate you are running. HDMI cables have bad habit of setting something like 30Hz which is awful.
4. Try to connect the monitor with display port cable.
This monitor is a VA panel, they tend to have better blacks, but also if you are unlucky and have bad panel, cause smearing and ghosting.

Ever since the game was ported to Dx11, the core limitation is not as bad as it was on Dx9. Now you are mostly bottle necked by GPU unless you are playing very heavy mission with a lot of ground units moving around.
There are already new BIOSes for x470 motherboards which support new Ryzen 3 series... My guess is we will see announcement really soon.
-
MS wants to force developers to use Dx12 as their main platform for new games I suppose.
I still think that platform free API like VULKAN is still superior.
-
GPU for sure.
Radeon, Freesync, 60fps cap...Possible?

From my experience, using both AMD and Nvidia cards, DCS have issues with Full screen enforcing even though you mark it in Options.
When you load in a mission, enable fps monitoring (Rctrl+Pause), monitor the fps and then try to enforce Fullscreen with alt+enter. You should see noticeable difference when it changes to true full screen.
I don't know if this is only happening on my system (I have 3 screens but play only on 1) but it always helps me to get better fps results. I always play with Free/Gsync off and enforce Vsync to get rid of tearing.
I have 100Hz monitor but I enforce 60fps cap for DCS in drivers to reduce the overal drag on GPU, I do not need 100fps in DCS.
Just tested it, I had to hit alt+enter twice to get it working as expected.
