    I don't know, but could be a real world limitation. 930mb is quite a low pressure, very rarely found in real world condition

    If brc=wind direction then there is always a9° crossing from the right

    Thanks a lot for the input , I appreciate it ! DCS USB Hotplug option disabled? -> It wasn't and now is, no major change Temps ok where there is no throttling going on? -> Checked with MSI afterburner all under 85°C Deleted DCS fxo and metashader folder contents recently? -> I did now, no changes Do you have the same issues on the hoggit training or gaw servers on caucasus? -> Actualy, no , it is much better on Hoggit Training, there were 24ppl online, it was playable, mostly above 30fps, sometimes dipped under, but not for long, 4YA, or enigma, impossible to make it work ... So it might only be very heavy servers, or Syria, or both

    Man ! This report is amazing ! Thanks a lot for all the effort you put in it. Very informative. I too have experienced often those phenomenon. It seems to be triggered by high VRAM or RAM usage. but still very elusive to catch. I hope that ED will look into it.

    Ok thanks for the work ! Can't wait to try it

    I just tried again, with same option as above +visib range at medium. On Enigma cold war server in a viggen. Frankly barely playable to unplayable. FPS mostly under 30fps, most of the time down to 18-15fps. So can't even keep the motion re-projection at 30fps. So much jaggies everywhere I couldn't discern contact if I wanted to. Plus turning head results in a very stuttery experience. Again, afraid to repeat my self, but the gap between SP & MP is so great it is unbelievable . And it seems way worse compared to how DCS was 2years ago. Frankly I don't known what other option I can reduce to have something playable, As I said before I went down to 50% Custom resolution, and it looked absolutely terrible, but even then it wasn't smooth ... I guess I'll have to stick to 'other WW2 sims' to have a possibility to play on public MP server.

    The strobe effect is way too noticeable for me.

    nullHere are mysettings for SP .FOR MP, I tried with MSAA off as well. it will help a bit but still not good enough. You say you are not far off, but a 3090 is still a good 20-30% better than a 3070Ti + more VRAM & Ram & better CPU. my I7-7700K does not overclock very much at all & I tried anything, I am at 4.5Ghz can't get more. Don't you find that all the fences & taxi line at airports etc 'sparkle' way too much with MSAA off ?

    Yeah, it varies a lot. But back in the days (2019-2020) with my Cv1 & a GTX1070. Performance in MP were slightly worse than in SP. but no where such a big gap as it is today. I remember spending most of my DCS flying time on blue flag server. And I didn't readjust my settings in between playing SP&MP

    Hi Guys, After tweaking seriously my setup I can run VR pretty comfortably in SP, even in heavy missions. However hopping on the popular MP servers (Enigma is the worst unfortunately, but 4YA, blueflag are not great either) performances go down the drain. I tried to really reduce the pixel density, but unless I go ridiculously low, it still stays unplayable. I must CPU bottlenecked in MP (the fact that DCS perf suffer so much from a few simple scripts is quite appalling, but it is not the conversation here). I wonder however if any of you manage to get decent performance, and acceptable visuals to play on those popular servers ? And if yes, what are your specks ? Could I profit from a perf increase in MP if I upgraded my CPU to a more modern AMD or Intel CPU ? Here are my specs : i7-7700k / MSI Z270-A 48Gb DDR4 G.Skills Ripjaws V 3200Mhz Samsung Evo960 M.2 SSD Gigabyte RTX3070Ti HP Reverb G.2 -> in SP I run OpenXR, 70% custom resolution, MSAA 2x, Texture High, the rest on low. And I have around 64Fps, I lock reprojection at 45fps, and almost never my FPS go bellow 45. In MP I tried MSAA Off , texture low, down to 50% custom resolution, & I struggled to maintain 22.5fps ....

    The viggen doesn't have a gun

    Just tried to do a recon flight in the viggen, Doesn't seem to work, I took off with center fuel tank & KB pod & U22 pod. No message on take off. So Ianded back & only kept the center fuel tank. Again no message on take off. I still flew my recon mission & overflew some enemy group around 300m & M0.8, when landing back I received no special message

    Hi all, I have returned to the viggen after a long pause. And I noticed something weird with the aircraft. when cruising along (M0.9-0.8) with SPAK enabled, as one should, feets off the pedals, I often will notice that the aircraft will fly with a significant sideslip (about 0.5balls) to the right or to the left. And if I do nothing it will continue to fly with this sideslip ... If i use my rudder to center the ball however, from then on the ball will stay centered, even if i remove my feets from the pedals. Also, if I have this weird sideslip I noticed that if I turn off SPAK it goes away immediately ? It feels like the SPAK is not bringing the aircraft to 0 sideslip properly. Am I doing something wrong ? has anyone else noticed this ?

    Looks interesting ! I don't understand the fascination with the PointCtlr type device. In my experience a trackball + just moving your head to quickly point at what you want to activate works great and is very fast with some practice. This could be just a bit sleeker than a trackball. But really it would be a lot more beneficial if it can be mirrored to be used on the left hand.

    Looks like a very nice program. I installed it, but I feel almost retaded to ask this question : How to add .pdf files to it ? Can't find any option in the app. And I can't locate the installation folder ?
  16. lucky-hendrix
    Interesting I haven't heard this bug described like that, but it does indeed seem to correspond to what I am experiencing ! Would explain a lot.

    I run win10. Just tried openXR and damn, this is a serious improvement ... Just wish there was tool similar to fpsVR so I could see it quantatively rather than my own impression. But still my question holds, for those with a system similar to mine, what can I expect to be able to run in terms of DCS settings and Pixel density ?

    2x8Gb G.Skills Ripjaws 5 + 2x16Gb G.Skills Ripjaws 5 I upgraded recently, but except the size all specs are the same, latency, timings, frequency, ...
  19. lucky-hendrix
    Thanks, Indeed I will try OpenXR & report back. but I feel like my problem is deeper than that. Do you remember what setting you used back when using SteamVR? (to have an apples to apples comparison ) Did you ever have steamVR crash often? Because Even if a lower a lot the settings, while I can have frame times under 15ms 95% of the time, I will still see moments where I see frame times that jump to 40-60ms every second and still have SteamVR crash on me after a while.

    Hi Guys, I have recently upgraded my GPU, and thus I wanted to try DCS in VR again. However, it seems to me that my performance are quite under what I should be getting comparing to what some other are reporting in various places over these forums. I have already went trough a general tuning of my system, clean up& small OC to get the most of my hardware, and when in non-VR all seems fine. However in DCS I have trouble obtaining correct performances, I know that DCS is notariously difficult for this, but still, as I said above, I often see post in these forum that suggest I should be able to get fluid VR with at least OK-decent eye-candy. My VR headset is a HP Reverb G2 & I have read about the report of issue with the V1 cable, and I am wondering if some of my problems couldn't be explained by this. As Even in much less demanding tittles (IL2 for instance) even if my frame times are very good most of the time, I will start to see red spikes in the frame time, and very often SteamVR will crash within 1hr of play. So here is my config : CPU : I7-7700K GPU: RTX3070Ti RAM : 48Gb DDR4 @3200MhZ VR heaset : HP ReverbG2 What should I expect in terms of performances in DCS ? Currently withe Graphical preset 'VR' in DCS; DCS pixel density 1.0; 100% pixel density in steamVR Global settings; I have to reduce the 'per app' pixel density for DCS to 60% to have something playable, and even then I still have occasional stutter and SteamVR will crash after a longer play. I usually 'benchmark' by starting always the same instant action mission : 'On Alert 5' on the Persian Gulf in a F-14B

    A while back I did this : Still Using it, quite cheap, and frankly very easy to use & fast in game.

    Hi all, I am planing to upgrade my PC config. as I play DCS (also IL2 & MSFS2020) in VR on a HP reverb G2. and I would say that most of the time performances are marginal. Here is my current config : MB : Asus Z270-A CPU : i7-7700K Ram : G.Skills Ripjaws5 2x8Gb 3200Mhz DDR4 GPU : Asus GTX1070 Dual 8BG SSD : M.2 500Gb Samsung 960Evo PSU : Corsair Hx650W https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7YmpBj I was thinking that I could get the biggest improvement/value by upgrading only the GPU & RAM. I think my CPU is still 'decent', obtaining a significant upgrade in performance from tat side, I would probably have to change socket (i9-9900K is the best I could gate keeping the same socket) but then I need to also upgrade the MB, so I don't think it is worth it in terms of Performance upgrade/cost. So I am hesitating between upgrading to: 32Gb Ram & a RTX3080 (10Gb Vram) Or 64Gb Ram & a RTX1070Ti (8GbVram) Which do you think will give me the best bang for buck ? I going the 3080 way, do you guys think I should change my PSU ? Pc part picker says the build will consume 555W so, in theory enough for the PSU, but not so much margin... Thanks a lot guys!

    Hey guys, I know it is a bit off-topic, but can someone help me to use VRK with Xplane11 ? (or is there a thread on another forum somewhere else for this ?) I have a rift CV1 & I use VRK without issues on other steamVR tittles (il2). But with Xplane the kneeboards aren't rendered ass soon as the sim is started (they are rendered fine the the SteamVR home environement), I start Xplane with the "Launch Xplane in VR with SteamVR" option on steam tough, sso not sure whaat else I could do wrong ?
