  1. As the title says, the VOIP Talk command is not mappable to joystick buttons - only to keyboard keys.
  2. Unfortunately the issue is still present in DCS 2.9.0.46801.
  3. @USSR_Rik Single monitor - resolution 3840 x 2160
  4. @USSR_Rik I am NOT having any issues with SAVING the adjusted view - this is still working fine, as it always has been. I modified my FOVs a long time ago and I checked that SnapViews.lua still contains my custom FOV values - they are there. Before reporting this, I even deleted the file and then set the FOVs up again, and then checked the file again, because I assumed that the file format may have changed. The issue we have is that the stored FOV for the default view is NOT LOADED anymore automatically from SnapViews.lua since Update 2.8.8.43489. What I found out however is that pressing { Right Ctrl + Num 0 } triggers the loading and after that everything is working as expected - but this is only a workaround and not how it was working before Update 2.8.8.43489.
  5. @USSR_Rik Old behavior: 1. Launch any mission in any aircraft 2. In the default cockpit view, change the zoom level 3. Press and release combo {RAlt + Num0} -> the camera orientation and zoom level are saved 4. Restart DCS and launch any mission with the same aircraft 5. Press Num Enter - the zoom level is restored back to the saved value New behavior since DCS 2.8.8.43489 Open Beta: 1. Launch any mission in any aircraft 2. In the default cockpit view, change the zoom level 3. Press and release combo {RAlt + Num0} -> the camera orientation and zoom level are saved 4. Restart DCS and launch any mission with the same aircraft 5. Press Num Enter - the zoom level is not restored back to the saved value Current workaround: 1. Press Right Ctrl + Num 0 twice 2. Press Num Enter -> the saved zoom level is restored Suggestion for additional improvement beyond fixing the bug: - Automatically apply the zoom level stored for the default view after spawning - This would remove the need for the player to press Num Enter each time after spawning
  6. Very annoying bug... I hope this gets hot-fixed asap... I found the following workaround: Press 'Right Ctrl + NUM 0' twice After that the saved FOV is restored and everything works as before the update - this must be done at the beginning of every flight!
  7. This is the perfect solution and should be added for all modules!
  8. Solution and potential bug in DCS After trying all sorts of stuff I finally found a workaround for the huge performance loss I experienced after the 2004 update. Since I'm pretty sure other people will run into the same issue after installing the Windows update I am documenting my findings here. Also I believe my observations are pretty indicative of some pretty deeply hidden bug that could be the cause for all kinds of severe performance problems. That's why I think this should definately be looked at by a developer and be made into a bug report. Consequently I will recap my observations here: I am running DCS with VSYNC enabled, i.e. my options.lua file contains the following setting: ["sync"] = true Additionally I have an autoexec.cfg file inside my DCS Config folder which contains the following single line: options.graphics.maxfps = 60 Limiting the maximum FPS to 60 should not really have any effect since my monitor is running with 60 Hz anyway and as stated above I also have VSYNC enabled, thus the framerate is capped at 60 by VSYNC already. I kept the autoexec.cfg file with the maxfps setting anyway because depending on the inner workings of the engine I expected it might have a positive effect on the frame-time stability. I should also note that I have had my configuration this way for a long time and never experience any issue / negative effect until now. Now - meaning the update of Windows 10 to Release 2004. I am 100% positive that nothing else changed with my system during that time, meaning there was no DCS update, driver update etc. in between. After installing the update my FPS went from a capped 60 FPS (which my system pretty much reaches 99% of the time) down to 30 to 35 FPS. Now I noticed that if I remove my autoexec.cfg file my FPS are at a stable 60 again. This means that the options.graphics.maxfps = 60 option in combination with the 2004 update was what caused the huge decrease in framerate. The behavior is completely reproducable on my system, meaning when putting the autoexec.cfg back into the Config folder FPS are back down again.
  9. Horrible FPS and stuttering after updating to Windows 10 2004 After installing the 2004 feature update FPS in DCS are extremely low and unstable for me. I'm running an Intel i7 8700, 32GB of RAM and an RTX 2080. My system usually easily hits 60 FPS, especially after the latest DCS Open Beta Update performance was pretty good overall. However after installing the 2004 feature update DCS barely hits 35 FPS. I already tried all the usual stuff: reinstalling the NVIDIA driver, different driver versions, deleting shaders, enabling and disabling the new GPU scheduling feature, etc. Nothing seems to have any impact on the bad performance I'm experiencing... I also tried to reapply / reset the NVIDIA driver settings as BigNewy mentioned - to no avail. So far I only noticed this reduced performance in DCS.
  10. +1 :thumbsup: I also would love to see double seater variants of both the Hornet and the Viper in DCS. Even without any additional functionality they would increase overall variety. I would even pay for these double seater models if they came as an expansion for the current modules.
  11. I was unable to find a keyboard binding for the rudder / yaw trim switch, seems like it is missing...
  12. This is just the default viewpoint, you can change it permanently by first adjusting the zoom and / or viewposition as you like it and then press Right Alt + 0 (on the NUM-Pad).
