That's a very nice gesture IronMike. Not all heroes wear capes

@Heatblur do you guys have any new pictures or other media to share? Thanks in advance

Even the Su24 at this point seems to be an impossibility within DCS World. (since they are still in service). So no, unfortunately I don't think this will happen

I used the F14 mostly in the Air to Air department. But the few times I've tried it it is surprisingly accurate and easy to use with "dumb" bombing. If I remember correctly Jabbers made some really great videos on the subject back in the day, check out his channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/Jabbers

One google search will tell you that's a heavy GPU benchmark. You should be getting much better performance in DCS World (I used to have the 3570K, and while it's a great processor, it really is long in the tooth)

I disagree. While Petrovich is missing voiceover lines and the ability to autonomously dispense flares/chaff and maybe give out callouts, ED have stated that they will not be making a contextual wheel for Petrovich, and in all fairness he doesn't need one, however I think a contextual wheel will be required for George to become a useful AI co-pilot gunner.

It all depends on how smart they make "George". If he is left at the level of "Petrovich" then I forsee significant problems for people who will want to pilot the Apache alone. Hopefully they give him a contextual menu like HB have done with their "Jester" AI.

Thanks for this. I've undervolted to 1.2v at the chip (both CPU and Cache) and am running a 5Ghz overclock now, everything seems stable. I'm hitting 84 degrees peaks, with the CPU mostly being at or near 80 degrees with this overclock (under full 100% load) Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to test in DCS World yet, as I've somehow managed to snag a nasty eye infection a couple of day ago and now can't do any flying in VR.

Yeah, thanks but no thanks. Let me put it this way, if DCS World at some point in the future ran natively on Linux, I would migrate in a heartbeat and never look back.

Can you please elaborate on this a little bit? I can't make heads or tails of what you wrote here? When you say rudder trim, do you mean YAW SAS?

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna go with a simple reseat of the AIO pump first and the take it from there. I will only disable certain chip features as a last resort. I think the main reason why I'm seeing temp spikes when OCing is because I didn't really bother to clean the backplate of the pump properly with anything other than a dry paper towel, and probably mishandled the plate and the CPU top with fingers. Gonna take proper care with it now, and hopefully it will be all good. I will report back.

Yeah, no worries there. Mine did ship with the plastic, and I did take it off Still, better said than sorry I will do a complete clean up of the case, and carefully clean and re-seat the AIO pump back on the CPU later today. Making sure I don't overdo it with the paste or anything. i9-9900KF variant. (It's basically the same thing as the K, but without the integrated graphics chip). So far I have seen absolutely no improvements, however. I have not tested at all. Just had time for a quick take off and landing, and like I said I did not do any kind of overclock on the i9, while the i5 had a solid 4.8Ghz overclock. I do feel a slight improvement in whole system responsiveness, but it's probably just placebo effect. No idea how it will perform when overclocked as I noticed some strange temp spikes when testing even a simple overclock to 4.6 Ghz. When left on auto, the CPU doesnt spike over 70-75 degrees even when under load.

Yep it's probably something like this. Thanks for the tip.

Well I got my CPU an installed it yesterday. However I did not try it yet in DCS World. (Been having too much fun revisiting D2R) I tried a basic overclock, but the temps are spiking to 80degress in a simple stress test, which I do not like at all.... I might have to reseat the AIO PUMP or something, because if this is the case then there is no way it can go to 5 Ghz.

You have WW2 flak guns, but within the AI Game logic of DCS World, they have the equivalent of modern infallible search radars, which relay the positions and vectors of incoming aircraft within milliseconds of said aircraft changing course. Not only that but the crew operating the flak guns are world class sharp shooters able to accurately and precisely lead targets and time their fuzes for the exact altitude to the last millimeter. In general the AI Gunners\AA logic needs to be "dumbed down" significantly, it's as bad in modern DCS World units as it is with the WWII stuff. At least in the more modern stuff it can be sort of explained away by better equipment but it's still way too accurate.

No need to actually reinstall WMR, just put on your headset before you start SteamVR or DCS World, once you power up your headset and look around for a bit.

I'm gonna have to experiment with this a little bit. So far I've been using speed for heat's guide and just left it on SteamVR per app setting. Thanks for the replies guys.

I imagine it would make it very awkward. I haven't been flying jets lately. Mostly helicopters, or rather mostly the Hind. I'll probably put it back in one of these days when I get tired of the choppers (which probably won't be anytime soon, as I'm still crap with most of them, so I got a lot of learning to do yet) If you regularly fly both, I don't think it's a good idea to remove the spring. The backplate of the pedals has literally over 20 screws and it takes forever to unscrew the thing and screw it back together. The whole process though is very easy, unscrew the backplate, remove the spring (using pliers), screw the backplate back on. Voila.

I'm a fairly recent owner of the G2, so could you please elaborate on which is better to use and why, or rather what is the difference between the two? I assumed that they did the same thing, analogue to ASW in the Oculus software.

According to wikipedia the price of one eurofighter is 122,5 million dollars. The price of a METEOR is 2.8 million dollars, and the price of an AMRAAMC is around 500k. I think that if the mission demands it, you're gonna want to carry as many as possible to protect that precious airframe. (Not to mention the poor SOB who has to bring it home )

Let me get this straight Motion Vector (reprojection) in Steam VMR is not the same as Steam VR motion smoothing?

Still sounds like you have an issue somewhere, unless you are running some settings way too high your system should be running pretty well. Could you possibly post your in-game graphics options?

@Northstar98 some very good suggestions here. Including @BIGNEWY so he takes a look at the thread and maybe passes on some of these suggestions.

Yeah it looks like we were maybe talking around each other, while actually agreeing. My point was that while degradation might occur within chips, performance degradation is not a thing per se. In any case, if you take care of your whole system (mostly with regards to proper cooling), use unlocked chips (mostly intel, no idea if AMD does those) and don't take your overclocks too far, there is very, very little danger of a CPU failure occurring. I've never had it happen to me, and I've been doing this since when you had to use a pencil on your CPU to make it overclockable.

Yes all of those could become problems if you practice bad hardware "hygiene" especially with sub-par cooling, but the result of any of those three issues becoming critical is chip failure. Not chip degradation! A chip either works, or it doesn't. Your chip might downclock due to inbuilt safety measures, but those are usually disabled in overclocked chips, so that in the event of an actual failure, that chip....well fails. You know what would convince me? An actual benchmark of "old" vs "new" chips. Where you can consistently show a difference. I've only seen this one video, where the differences are within the margin of error. (Sometimes in favor of the "used" cpu) P.S. The longest I've had a chip was an i5-3570K, that thing worked like a dream overclocked to oblivion for a full 5 years. It's still alive in a my friend's hand-me-down PC, which he uses only occasionally I grant you but still.... (I actually gave him the chip, and the mainboard, and the ram when I upgraded years ago).
