Fly a different mission ... I tried the A10C REAL, is that the one you are using ? The 2 on 1 instant action and i couldnt fly it at all ! I flied several others and finally changed the some of the graphic settings from High to Medium,especially the visual range and the cockpit to 512. that made a huge difference, and I dont seem to miss the added whatever the settings gave me ? just a headache (lots of studdering). BTW 60 FPS is not the real test, look outside the aircraft, do a fly by with the ground as the background ( my fave), scan around the ground, use the Mirrors (that I gave up on). The real test is how it looks and feels especially the ability to fly smoothly with that little bit slipperyness you get when everything is working as it was intended... and it doesnt studder as you are lining up for a kill shot !! I have a $250 graphics NVIDIA GForce (2018) card and 32gig of memory on the mother board. While I am at it can anyone tell me why the A10C's can keep up with my SU25T at 900knots along the tree tops ? this is in the Dogfight mission under instant action. C'mon !!

SU25T HUD glare after recent Upgrade :helpsmilie:SU-25T is the one I am flying, bad glare stays on the HUD no matter what ... I tried Devrims english cockpit and the install is always complex since I have ENGLISH folders in 2 different places. Im getting a big mess in the cockpit textures when I choose English. Can someone explain the install of MODS, what folder do they go ? I actually tried in SAVED GAMES where the other ENGLISH Cockpit folders are located, and in the LIVERIES folder under DCS. When I change a folder name under DCS for SU25T it appears under the Options menu "English" "OLDENGLISH" etc. for the SU25T There must be some instruction that i have missed over the years about installation of MODS. Does anyone else have this issue first with SU25T glare since the recent upgrade, and then using the latest Devrim English cockpit and glare fix ? My workaround is to use ALT-F1, so hard to see in that plane anyway I dont feel like Im cheating, but its not the same thing without the cockpit. And just for fun teh SU27 does not show the ENGLISH cockpit in OPTIONS any longer, but the cockpit is in English ??

You would think that all of the notifications about this upgrade would include the critical information about how to freakin get it installed ... grrrr "you just have to wait" unless... or perhaps ?

Is the update automatic ? i dont see any link to download update.

Im experiencing COCKPIT Textures missing as well, SU25 and SU27

Im missing all cockpit textures in 2.5 for the SU 25t, SU27. Just started 2 weeks ago. Was fine until then. The A10C seems very good, cockpit and skin. I do turn down the Brite & Contrast toggle on the left & right MFD (display screens). Notice I am trying NOT to rely only on acronyms. The SU33 seems also particularly fun to fly, very responsive and clear cockpit.

Why does the Control Command List for A10C SIM HOTAS not explain what the command does ... refer to a .PDF file that has different lingo and other seems unecessary. Ctrl -up , HOTAS TMS FORWARD, what does it do ?

A10-C cockpit and HUD seem less than perfect... agree with (ECHO) echo179 Also I didnt see any improvement on the A10 Hud by changing the .LUA Hud Text Size (cant recall the details). Is there a similar thing for 2.5 ?

hmmm i have 3 cockpits to use, none are available ? Also where can we find how to tell when ECM is ON with SU33, and when NOSE STEERING is ON in any aircraft.

Achronyms ... what is PFM ???

LIMIT FRAME RATEs UPDATE !! Since then - more frustration with the new 2.5# version. Nothing seemed to make sense why the frame rates could be significantly better and still have the stuttering and even locking I was getting... LIMIT FRAME RATE, Turn on VSYNCH. This seemed to get things to a new level. Im using 72 as max limit, using RIVA to get there, also MSI afterburner. OLD Post - Someone here recommended PROCESS LASSO to control system resources and dedicate CPU and MEMORY to individual programs. Works very well. not hard to figure out. However feel compelled to recommend to anyone who has not already done so, and as obvious as it seemed to you all, ( i didnt want to believe my card stank) to UPGRADE your VIDEO CARD I felt that I had adequate hardware since I had purchased a "gaming system" but sadly found later that my video card was _ _it ! There are only so many things I have time to keep up on. After a little research I purchased a $200 (or so) card that has made a wild difference and I actually now look forward to playing DCS... and will actually take on the A10 learning curve now. I recall a mostly software solution back in the day of MECH WARRIOR, and I just stuck with that plan. But the card has made huge difference. I do however still notice the ROCKETS flooding the screen brings everything to a stop. My quick solution to that without re-writing the assembly code... was to hit the trigger firing the rockets & immediately press F2 or F3... then back to the cockpit. Never overlook the obvious. I had an NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX ?? something... that was my problem, I didnt distinguish the model # I upgraded to NVIDIA GeFORCE GTX 1050 Ti Went from 8 - 25 FPS (frames per Second) to 25 - 80 FPS with even more aggressive video settings in the DCS Control Panel. I mention this because I hope it saves someone out there some time trying to make this all work to a level that is actually enjoyable, and so you dont have get out your AMP meters. Just a small screw driver... and maybe some tape... and a paint brush... and perhaps some rubber shoes...OW !!

Top speed for me in the A10C is about 350, but playing in the SU27T Dogfight those A10s are not limited to 350, they turning at 700 + according to my wing shaking speeds of 750+ in the SU25T.. and they seem to be on my tail at all times ... what is that about ? Are we to assume there are hot rod A10s on the enemy side ? Software glitch ? What is the top speed we should expect from the A10C in the SIM?

It would be great if you little princes (its a book) would be clear on the settings you use, no ACRONYMS, no abbreviations or shortcuts. PhysX processor on Nvidia GPU means ? The Acronyms are really frustrating.

What "sorted" it out ? What was the issue ? I am having same ...

I feel the last 2 years of trying to make this DCS experience what I remember when it was 2D and not so complicated (2005... FUN!) Is being started again with more tweaking and more tweaking. Does anyone share their DCS SETTINGS screen? and Graphics Card Settings Screen? What a struggle and after upgrading to 32Gig memory, the newest 2.50 is like starting back at square 1. Not getting any improvement at all, only lots of stuttering and its back to "must be the Joystick " theory. Or my settings. I am using a 2016 Gaming system from DELL. The ONLY way I was able to make any version of the DCS experience playable was to use Process LASSO and designate each of the 4 processors to specific functions and high priority to DCS . I wish I could See what I saw on Youtube with some great new videos. Im just not getting close to that, rather moving backwards.

I have tried repeatedly to engage "H" with the F15...which is clearly labeled in the commands list (like other aircraft) to HOLD Altitude... I have engaged this many times even let the aircraft fly for several minutes until it crashed into the sea ... what is happening ?

http://bitsum.com/processlasso/ So far this has been the best improvement on higher quality/smoother game play with DCS 1.5.7. Easy to use also. Still cant manage to get where I want to go. Anywhere between 11 and 50 FPS, some aircraft are better than others.... MIG29s is by far easiest to fly and smoothest, why is that ? F15 has the most stutter. External views are the most satisfying for me, the FLYBY (F3) is the Standard I use, 11 fps to 50 fps. If I can fix that I would be a happy guy. I know the SKY and the ground are major differences, but its gotta work or its NO FUN. I have noticed that mirrors and close up cock pit position cause the most interference, even though in some cases the FPS stays reasonable. The most frustrating is when the VIEW and positioning movement slows down, you cannot control the LOOK & Shoot feature or the VIEW movement, or the radar LOCK reticle. I did realize finally that CTRL F1 is a rather good feature to use when head movement is hard to control. I could never understand what that command was all about, except that I cant look down to see my instruments nor follow enemy aircraft out of view.

Error loading profiles to VoiceAttack Just to follow up, Is 2.0 the paid version ? or how do you take advantage of the 2.0 version if it produces errors ? DCS version 1.5.7

Please be clear here, you need a BETA version less than 2.0 to import any profiles ? PLease explain the difference in these 2 pieces of software. Also please let me know the folder structure or weather that is critical ? Do all Profiles have to be Imported to VOICE ATTACK ? I have installed Vaicom under the Voiceattack (the 2.0 version) folder and I added "Apps" which seems to be a must according to the instructions. I also downloaded the SU25 and SU27 profiles, and it is unclear if those need to be in a specific folder. I am also receiving the same error loading profile ... error in .xml (18,12), for any profile that I tried. Thank you

And that doesn't seem to affect the targeting retical ...

I just discovered the CTRL ] and SHIFT ], which gives a high and low speed, but nothing in between ..? thanks

Related, how can you change the speed of the targeting retical movement ?? Make the action smoother, and more even. Mine seems to accelerate and jump past the point I am searching for. Really frustrating. I am using keyboard and JOY STICK HAT to check if one is any better, they move the same... thanks !

These look useful /// are there more updates since original? Perhaps you can help me understand the difference in identifying a weapon on a chart like this, or in the help, or even in the load out screen, compared to on the HUD. I have english Cockpits for SU27 and 25T, and more often than not i cannot understand which weapon pops up on the HUD reading the identifying characters. Is this just experience ? or is there a better way to figure out the names on the HUD. I also notice only 3 Air to Gorund Missles,,,, thought there were more, the "29T" on the hud - TV guided -

Im trying to create a weapons load out in a mission - using the RE ARM REFUEL screen... is there a way to do that ? Ive done before but many years ago. for the SU 27, the 25T is the plane I am flying currently. "Ground Crew" "Rearm refuel" request

DCS 1.5 Graphics Settings working better It works - F3 fly by is back to normal... the main thing that affected this I believe was changing the Trees Vis to about 1/3 from Max (8694 now.) and VSYNC on It was however a longer than expected process so I thought I would just list all the settings since I was to see that from someone here but have not. Im sure everyone will have different results. If I can figure out how to put a screen shot in here I will. I did play with the visuals and graphics for a long time, including resetting my graphics card and more. My desktop is also the same res as my game 1920x1080. I will list the settings in order since the attachment feature will not work for me. left side- HIGH HIGH MED ULTRA OFF MED 1920x1080 1.7777 1 screen 1024 every frame 8x ON OFF NONE right side- 0 8694 150000 4x Off VSYNC {ck} FULL SCREEn {ck}
