What a welcome surprise!! Such an Iconic warbird!

Also WW2 AI is yet to receive the newer dogfighting AI fast jets now have. So in addition to over performing the AI just makes silly decisions and does not know how to actually fight the planes according to RL period tactics. But this is ED's responsibility not mag3's, and supposedly is in the works.

They didn't call it the ensign eliminator for no reason. Flight model feels great.

I found the mirrors in the Corsair cause a big time performance hit. More so then other aircraft in game.

As the springs in the stick start to wear out it can drift off center introducing unwanted control input. No one prefers using deadzones but it is a way to correct for worn out joysticks without having to buy a new one or change the springs out.

Performance is horrible, breathtaking visual slideshow at 15 fps here.

So i recently updated to windows 11 and the issue went away for several weeks but it just came back, I had my game freeze my whole system in the mission editor again today. This is with track IR running however, I will try replicate the issue without trackIR but in the past I have been able to get it to freeze without running trackIR I just didn't save the logs at that time as I was trying all sorts of potential fixes, and pulling my hair out. I will try and post it again if it happens without trackIR just to rule it out. DxDiag.txt dcs.log

2025-04-17 21:27:04.445 INFO DXGUI_WIN_ADAPTER (Main): ChangeDisplaySettings failed! Result is -1 This seems to be the culprit.

Game is still freezing as of update 2.9.15.9408 logs attached. Can someone from ED please weigh in on this issue Multiple threads have been started, across both Russian and English language forums, several people on discord have encountered this same issue. I have been through the ENTIRE Crash trouble shooting guide, with no success. This issue is completely sapping my enjoyment of the game. dcs.log

Me too

I'm experiencing full PC freeze when DCS starts. A solution that has been working for me is to, before opening the game, delete metashaders2 and FXO files in saved games folder, perform a short repair of DCS and finally perform a cleanup from the launcher, and then DCS runs great for me. I Its only a workaround though, the last major update (the one that introduced save functionality) clearly borked something, that or its some kind of driver issue or both, the new NVIDIA driver has lots of issues with multiple games. My latest log is attached which is from a session where the game froze shortly after starting, shows no errors. The log analyzer in DCS discord recommends rolling back GPU drivers. dcs.log

No effect on the freeze for me, with or without park control. The logs also don't show any cores being parked. It freezes with and without trackir for me as well.

Very interesting, so I used to use the task manager to uncheck and recheck affinity for all cores in the DCS process, and that would instantly net me 20 - 30 FPS. So you might be on to something. This was before when I could get passed the main menu though. So I will give this a try however the problem I see is that, once the freeze happens my entire computer locks up, all im able to do is restart. But I might be able to do this before the game completly loads and freezes.

First thing I tried. Before renaming my entire saved games folder. No effect in both cases.

So this solution is now working for me as well, however I must also restart my computer between sessions, then I can do a repair and cleanup, and finally it will run. This is problematic however since I will have to rebuild shaders literally every game session, and DCS lags quite a bit during that process. Seems like a corrupted file path is created each time the game is started, which then causes it to hang the next time it is run without doing a cleanup and repair.
