I understand pain only too well and hope yours eases soon and you can enjoy the rest of your life. Your ship mods are pivotal in dcs in my opinion. Take time to recover and don't over do it.

Update: I think its the Syria map as I tested with Persian Gulf and hardly noticeable. Will stick with this until new GPU.

I've noticed that when viewing through the HUD of F18 not looking at instruments, I gets slow. But when I look across the left, right or behind the plane, everything is smooth. I had quite a number of AI planes and thought it was that but after removing most of them, its still the same. I know my GPU isn't the greatest, but never experienced this.

They stopped making the 4070 for the 50 series. I forgot to mention I will be upgrading from a gtx 960 4gig card so I will have a nice experience with a good gpu. I will keep looking and make a decision and go for it.

Its a thought. I will check them out. Thanks

I get stuttering. I haven't overclocked my cpu and will be trying that. I will be getting new components as and when to rebuild my rig so that I will be able to run MT. I can still fly using the older version so will enjoy that until its built. Funny though how my brother can still fly the f14 and both rigs are identical.

Well Lucshep, That was certainly in depth and informative and I thank you for it. I will take the jnfo you have given and check out prices. Much appreciated

I think a 4070 ti super is just out my reach.

I have rounded up my choices and would appreciate some inpit. RTX 3060, 3080 or 4060? I have seen that more VRAM helps. I don't want to overkill as only running 1080p.

Nythawk, I have the latest version for my testing and the older version which is 2.9.7.58923. This one works with my GPU so I am able to fly.

I am using and older version as cannot run MT. My brother has same version and works fine. I will have to do without the F14 until I can get a better GPU and it will work then. Tried a repair but wont do it. Its all great updating but at the expense of leaving others out. Have expenses and they take priority at mo.

Hi Guys I am having a terrible time with this. My brother and I have the exact setups and I keep getting this message :- Authorization is valid for 2d 23h 59m The following DLCs are not authorized and will be disabled: F-14 I have Microsoft Defender and I made sure after the 1st message, I excluded DCS folder from virus checking. I also replaced the Common.dll file but still keep getting it. I checked my module installations and it says it is installed. I go to ME and F14 etc is greyed out. We are both using the same version of DCS and his is working OK. Any help would be great.

Its OK guys. I will have to wait until I can upgrade my rig and hopefully MT should run better. Thanks for your input

Hi All I have 2 versions of DCS ST and MT. I have to use the ST version at the moment because I cannot run the MT very well with my setup (will update at some point). I wish it was possible to update single modules ie Hornet or Map instead of updating the whole core. The MT runs but its not flyable. I suppose I will have to wait until cashflow is easier

No worries Richi, I am always interested in anyones input. Anything to help is always appreciated. Cheers

Richi, I was always looking at 27+ inch monitor but a lot of people were commenting on the pixelisation. I have a problem with my eyes due to an illness and I cannot focus on small icons so always 1080p. And they were saying anything over 24inch, you start noticing. Its very difficult when there is nothing to see comparison images on 1080p with different monitors Cheers for the input Nuggetz, it looks a bit big for the space in my rig. Will keep in mind. Cheers

Getting new might be a better option, at least you know what you are getting and as you say, some prices for second hand is stupid. I've used ebuyer a lot and have decent prices. Been looking at cclonline. Cheers

Many thanks Pavlin 33. I am going to take the slow approach and check whether the mods etc are causing a problem. I am going to increase my pagefile as well and see what happens. I do feel that my gpu is very outdated but it runs ST fine for what I want. Draconus, I have i5 6600k, 32meg ram, 960gtx 4gig and 4 ssd drives. If anything, I would look to get a better gpu.

Many thanks for the info LucShep I will look out for these if poss. Had a few problems with ebay but will check it out. That was the info I was looking for. Cheers

At the moment, I have i5 6600k, 32meg ram, 4 x ssd drives, 650w power supply, 21inch monitor which will be upgraded to 24inch. I don't use VR.

Hi All I tried to run MT the other day and it was disastrous. So I uploaded my Log file and was informed that my gpu was outdated which I realised. Also, a couple of mods might be causing crashes which I will look into My question is this, any ideas on gpu to run dcs MT at 75-90fps at 1080p. I posted before but now the ballpark has changed. I create missions but not too intense with 2 clients and the rest AI. Cheers

I thought as much Bignewy. I might try and look for something better, second hand or new. Any suggestions so that it would run DCS MT smoothly at 60-75fps 1080p? Cheers

I am going to clear all logs and start MT up. Then a 1 plane flight if possible. I will upload the log for anyone to check. I still think its down to my rig but I can't spend big money at the moment as too many jobs need sorting. I have rolled back to a working ST for the moment. I will have a look at Enter-Alt. Cheers

Many thanks for your reply AKA_Clutter. I realised my mistake last night and too knackered to reply. This has been a life saver for my missions. I will save the images so I won't forget and the mission as well. All my stuff got deleted by accident from my tablet and its a job getting all the mods and files. Cheers for your help

The shipping trigger mission that AKA_Clutter gave me works a treat as long as you only have 1 group of ships. I have tried to activate a 2nd group with no success. They just start off at mission start. I've tried adding a 2nd trigger zone for the other group of ships but no go. Is it only for 1 group or is there another way like Hold and late activation? Cheers
