yes, I did try..

My old PSU blew up a capacitor after the last upgrade, despite it was "mathematically" sufficient. This happened after I tested it and while my PC was off, in the middle of the night! A very loud bang, scared the hell out of my whole family...

I know it's a question to Oculus Tech support, but they so far failed to address it on their forum and in my ticket! I am having this issue: https://forums.oculus.com/developer/discussion/33743/cv1-oculussetup-exe-fails-ovrlibraryservice-terminated Did someone here have experienced it and found a solution? Is it maybe possible to install some "bare-minimum" drivers for CV1 instead? I want to try my new rift while waiting for 1080, to make sure it was not DOA. Thanks!!!

Nice chart! Do you have by any chance an older GTX lying around, to run with the same specs and see how much FPS 1080 adds?

Hi, thanks, all is correct. The originally indicated date was "August". I told Oculus Support what I hear from you guys and after waiting 3 days for a reply I got this: My apologies, we are unable to speak about other's orders. I can assure you we are working are to fulfill orders as quickly as possible. Make sure you keep an eye on your email for updates regarding your order!

Hi, does your's ship in the US? Ordered mine two weeks ago to Spain, nothing...

Sure it does! I just had to modify the monitor setup .lua file for my 65'' FullHD 3d plasma. I attached it. Btw, I notice no lag on my TV. I don't use the 3d often, however, due to ghosting and 1/2 the resolution... 3d.rar

Dear Mustang, Do you have a version of your great mod for 1.5.3 (current production build)? I found this in my logs: 01940.351 WARNING NGMODEL: Model 'vfs:///models//trees_166_2847.edm' uses old format, convert please. Coincidentally, that was the last line before my DCS froze on a MP server. Can't find anywhere an updated version... Thanks!

Hey guys, are Mig-21's radios still broken in production 1.5.3.53279? Did not fly it for a while, could not call ATC in quick RBSN mission (all stations were white in comms menu) and in MP (all stations were grayed out). Channel correct, radio on... Easy comms on or off...

Hey, nice pit, congrats! what's that on the right?

Was about to say the same, except Threaded optimization = off does help! And overclocking CPU does not make any difference to FPS in my case...

Hi Devs, Is there a way to turn off automatic comms menu after ANY radio message? I. e. wingman, tower or AWACS say something, the menu pops up, which I don't need. Also, when returning to cockpit from map or external views, mouse pointer gets activated for no reason. And what's the deal with Full Screen becoming windowed some few minutes into the mission? Have to do Alt-Tab or Alt-Enter...

Yes. The building blocks counted as "vehicles" got me confused ))

(SPOILERS) Flying it now. Killed everyone in compound, but vehicles count 30/36. I guess three are the surrounded tracks, don't wanna shoot them so as not to kill any blues. I need to find the remaining 3 vehicles on the map? My superman wingman does not see them either. Heli was shot. The yacht was interdicted, should I sink it? Was not ordered, but boats count 1/2... Flying like this for half an hour, nothing is happening. Progress 70%... Help!! ))) Ok. got it ))

Hi nuuthei500! Did you use DDU in Safe Mode to clean up your old driver? I have GTX 760 but with 2Gb, and it runs at VRAM limits. So 1.5 may be not enough. Try lowering visibility, preload radius, no Grass and minimal Trees, also try No Tree Shadows mod. One more thing, I noticed old driver 332.21 works better for our "old" card. I get significantly lower FPS in the "clouds" start screen with any newer driver. You may want to try it! And do use Display Driver Uninstaller when changing drivers))

No, if you put the ram.cmd in Startup folder (just drag it to Win Key - All Programs - Startup) it will create drive T automatically on boot. No need to do anything once it's set up once.

Sure. I found the idea on this very forum. It helped me with an earlier version of DCS, but I still use it. Even with lots of RAM the game (and now NVidia driver too) write some temporary files to a TEMP folder, usually on c: drive. Even with SSD this takes some time and creates micro stutters. The idea is to allocate some RAM as a virtual hard-drive and direct system variables TEMP and TMP to it. Now any software that needs to work with temporary files will do it super fast. The added benefit is that on reboot the "RAM-drive" is created anew, so all this crap gets deleted instead of accumulating on your system drive. Here are the steps: 1) google and download "imdisk", install it 2) take the attached ram.cmd file and put it in some folder (I had to zip it to attach) 3) create a shortcut to this ram.cmd and put it in your Startup folder 4) Reboot, see that T: drive is created. 5) Go to Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings - Advanced - Environment Variables and change TEMP and TMP variables in _BOTH_ locations (system and for your user name) to T:\TEMP (see the picture) Now you can delete contents of your regular c:\Windows\Temp folder and enjoy more space on your c: drive. I do hope this helps you! ram.zip

I had stutters in DCS while ago, which I cured by moving TEMP folder to a RAM drive. I use imdisk via .cmd in Startup folder.

Hi guys/gals with HMDs. One quick question. I read that zooming keys don't work in VR, but how about snap views? I use them with A10 to work with radios and CDU even on a monitor. Would be useful in VR too...

@tiborrr: Thanks for your effort! I totally agree with your conclusion that for multiscreen and VR there is some bottleneck in the engine. In fact, this bottleneck was discussed half a year ago in relation to A-10C FLIR/MAV bug, and I ran some tests: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2552722&postcount=212 That was with 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 versions of EDGE. Today I ran a similar test to yours to see if my ad-hoc solution still works. I.e. "load DCS with MINIMAL settings and then change them to high in game and launch the mission". I used a 3-minute track of my A-10C flying and used FRAPS, like you did. Here are the results (Min/Max/Avg): 1. DCS launched on HIGH/Usual settings, then I set all to LOW/NO and ran the track: 72/159/107 2. DCS re-launched on LOW/NO and I ran the track with these settings: 138/228/187 (75% gain!) 3. Set all to HIGH/Ultimate, re-launched DCS (important!), ran the track with these settings: 17/56/32 4. Now, set all back to LOW/NO, re-launched DCS(!), set all to HIGH/Ultimate, ran : 39/82/52 (60% gain) I know the settings took effect with no rebooting - based on texture quality, shadows, visibility range etc. So, some people's claim that you must always reboot after each change is groundless. I was not surprised to see these results again, as I did 6 months ago. I am surprised nobody else noticed this. I am now going to open a bug ticket and see what the devs have to say about it! So, there is a BIG difference (on my PC) whether DCS is launched with HIGH System settings or with LOW. I can't explain why it matters, but please go ahead and check on your side! Thanks! PS. I use an "old" NVidia driver 332.21 for my MSI 760 OC 2Gb, as all newer ones give me 10x(!) lower FPS on the "clouds" main screen. I see many people have this problem too... UPDATE: Turned out MFDs resolution only applies after reboot, so the high FPS was with 256. Well, I can live with 512...

Not sure if to post it here or in a Wish List. All knobs in all planes move in reverse to my mouse wheel (DiNovo Edge trackpad). Can it be fixed by a setting or a mod?

works great, thanks!

Hello. I use ButtKicker to feel the stall coming, and it used to work great in 1.2. But no more ((( The cabin shakes on the TV, but LF sound track is no different to that of a normal flight. I tested with P51 and Dora, but this must be a global bug. Please fix this! Steals the realism... Edit: Ah, ok, I had Diveplane's sound mods installed before. Got them back, all good. Only MiG-21 is properly buffeting without the mods...

Yep, thanks! Trying to optimize spotting vs. quality...

Seems to happen after the recent update, or I did not notice it before. Runway texture is "out of focus" until I am really close or zoomed in. I tried all the settings, can't get it right. Other static textures look fine...
