Just to add a big THANK YOU here for the input in helping me pinpoint the issue. I updated the NVIDIA drivers to a version that came out just 4 days ago, plus I engaged VSync. Not too sure what did the trick but from constant 100% GPU load (per NZXT), I am down to 50%! And not only that but I have also slowly but surely been uplifting some other settings (I am back to High Textures) and adding incrementally other settings and I keep it at 60-70%. The picture slightly changes when I hit the fly-by view where I can see the GPU taking a much bigger hit but that is to be expected. Thanks again!

Thanks a lot! I see that there is a new NVidia driver this week which I will try and I will also try NZXT to see if there are any PSU issues So far, in other games, I have not identified hardware issues but of course one can never be sure

Sorry, only to add that all drivers / updates in system as well as OS (Win10) are fully up to date

Hi All, This is a problem I have with my 'backup' PC - main PC is running DCS like a charm. In my backup I had a very old version of DCS (I think 1.5) which I had kind of abandoned and last week I decided to re-visit by updating to 2.7. I have been using all kinds of tweaks for the settings I have found online, it is not the most powerful system but it still has a GTX1070 and strong RAM. No matter what I do with the settings, no matter what, still a few minutes in and I get a CTD, every time, all the time I am attaching here the latest crash log as it has been compiled in the system, if anyone has any insight I would be most thankful! dcs.log-20211120-102210.zip

Hello everyone and good to be here again after - Jeez - 8 and more years... OK. to get started with an extremely frustrating problem to the degree where either I will just throw my joystick out the window (not a likely option but desireable i tell you!:music_whistling:) or I will just quit FC3 only when I re-started playing it... So, I have not played FC or any other DCS product for a long time, long enough not to notice the DCS module and all the other changes:) On the other hand, I have maintained my X52 up to speed with all sorts of sims without any issue whatsoever until today when I bought and installed FC3 and, well, all sorts of erratic hell is breaking loose... To begin with, simply put, the buttons are just NOT working with assignments. I fly the Mig 29S, assign button XYZ to fire missile and I have to resort to cannon and WWI dogfighting as it never fires. Or, the axis, just do not work up to expectations to the extent where I pull a vertical afterburn 8+ g turn and my plane's reaction is more as if I pull the stick back on a 737 or - OK a bit more versatile- an MD80... What the heck???????? I do not load any other profile and keep the slate clean on my X52, the joystick works 10000% fine on any other simulation that I run so I guess either I have done something wrong with FC3 or I may just begin drafting the email for a refund! With my advance thanks, any suggestions?????????
