  1. Yes I‘ve tried that but it got messy sometimes so I don’t want to take any chances and be the reason why my team gets disqualified or sth. like that. Anyways, I actually got it to work via a stable install which I then changed to the openbeta as suggested. I used the DCS Update Utility for that. It doesn’t rename any folders so the install and savedgames folders still look like the stable version. But it’s not. Therefore I created different shortcuts to my desktop and renamed them. Thx for the help!
  2. Hi, I´m trying to install a second OpenBeta on my computer but I run into the same issue as the others above. Yes, I want two separate installs of OpenBeta. The reason is that I´m part of a competitive team which takes part in leagues and events. Those leagues mostly have the requirement of not allowing any mods, custom flare/chaff programs etc. It´s super annoying to clean and reinstall between matches, events and casual flying so I really want a second isntall which will become my casual one to work around that. How do I choose my own install path for that second install? PS.: I´m no IT guy so I´m in need of an explanation for dummies. Thank you in advance!
  3. @nikoelThank you very much for this guide! The OVGME version didn´t work for me (SteamVR was still starting up) so I tried the manual version. SteamVR didn´t start anymore and at first it seemed like it would work properly since the mirror on my screen showed the hangar, menu, movement etc. but the VR screens inside the headset remained dark. The solution is simple but doesn´t really make much sense for an average PC guy like me. Even though I followed your guide closely and cleaned and repaired everything with the DCS Updater Utility I had to completely delete the "options.lua" file within the saved games > DCS.openbeta > Config folder. Before doing so I ran the game without VR and made screenshots of all my settings. After deleting it, DCS on start up then asks to login (my data was still filled in) and creates a new file. Now it worked. I applied all the same settings I had before and expected it to stop working again followed by a long search for what setting would cause it but instead it just kept working fine. I hope this helps and thanks again! Huge FPS gain for me (1080ti). Best regards TAW_Mago
  4. I am very sorry for the very very short notice but RL came in between and I won’t make it. Got my 2nd vaccination and don’t feel too well. :/

  6. RIP and thank you for helping our community to get where we are today!
  7. That is not the point. We don´t argue about that. The point is the desync it is apparantly causing. If you look at the distance the missile is traveling and in your mind you pull the line of the flight path straight towards the F-16, it looks like the missile was in reality flying straight towards it. Might be coinsidence but what ever it is, sth. is obviously off. Please at least interrogate! Thank you in advance! Cheers
  8. Update: Problem solved by resetting BIOS, and then set the following: PCIe to Gen3, disable CPU C-States, enable motherboard-limited PBO, not more. I also reinstalled Windows again just to make sure. After 4 months this finally helped. I hope it does for everyone else!
  9. All good @fbfan64! I appreciate every tip and people willing to help! @speed-of-heat I tried to deactivate them which didn´t help but maybe they have some background tasks I cannot identify as related to them. Will try again with them deleted. If that doesn´t help, would you recommend reinstalling windows or wouldn´t that change anything and not worth the time?
  10. Thx a lot for the response guys! About the suggestions of @fbfan64: 1. I got both Windows and DCS installed on SSD´s but separate ones. Should I still move the directories to the same SSD as DCS? 2. I´ve added the folders and .exe files to all kinds of exception lists I could find on my norton antiVirus (not sure if there is another place to find such lists in windows). 3. Since my windows is installed on an SSD as mention above I guess I can leave this out or should I move them as asked in answer #1. above? @speed-of-heat 1. What rgb software did you use? I use armoury crate/aura sync for the tower and AMD Cooler Master for the CPU cooler RGB. Should I delete that stuff? I guess I´ll try. 2. I already did monitor the task manager and there were several movements. Hard to tell. One which caught my eye repeatedly was a task named "dwm" which apparently stands for 'desktop window manager'. I tried to close it but it is a task which windows cannot operate without. 3. I could reinstall windows if that promises success but I´m not sure how to "recover" it. Again thank you guys for taking your time! I´ll go out for a walk. This stuff is waaayyy too frustrating xO
  11. Hi @speed-of-heat I just stumbled accross this, searching for a solution for a problem I have since I got a new computer. Above you were asking if his CPU and GPU drop at the same time. That is exactly what happens to me every very few seconds. Nobody could tell me what is happening so far but since you specifically asked for this my hopes grow again. Could you tell me what solution you were aiming for there? It happens for me both on screen and in VR (much more severe). Due to this I´m grounded for month´s now.... Strange thing is, I deleted, downloaded and reinstalled DCS again and it worked perfectly in VR for hours until I turned it off and next day on again. Didn´t change a thing but it was back to old behavior. I hope you can tell me what is happening because I´m quite frustrated after trying all kinds of things.

  13. You are most welcomed to the ED community DEKA! Haters gonna hate. Don’t let them pull you down! It’s their only way up. Your module was in an almost complete state unlike most other modules. Not saying tuning hadn‘t to be done but that’s totally normal. That was a great accomplishment there! Your JF-17 itself also is. Keep up the very good work! I‘m looking forward to your next module!
  14. I don´t know about the first one but the second one probably was notched for a moment and when reaquiring him it was too late to make the turn. Desync could also play a role here.
  15. Thanks for organizing this very enjoyable event! I´m looking forward to the next one! Greetz TAW_Mago

  17. Thank you very much for organizing! I had a blast! Greetz TAW_Mago
  18. Hi Alpenwolf, I know you said "2- Each player can sign up himself only." One of our members would like to join as well but has no account here yet. He will follow up as soon as he is home from work. He would be: TAW_Smokey - Gazelle Sorry for asking for an exception and thank you in advance! Friendly greetings TAW_Mago
  19. Oh I tried it on my mobile now. Indeed it is working! :) On Windows Explorer as well. Just Chrome and Firefox are not working properly atm. Didn´t think about that before.... Maybe a problem with my Windows 7 or sth like that. Anyway thanks a lot to both of you! Now I will have a nice evening. :thumbup: Greetz Mago
  20. Okay in this case I can stop searching for it. Thanks for the quick answer! :) I see a map on this website but not the old one. So no airfields and no indications of blue or red and so on. Is there a trick I didn´t heard of or is it just not functional atm?
  21. Live map? Hey gents, probably a stupid question but is their any way to see a live map of the blue flag server right now? I know it is in testing stage right now but some guys of my squad flew just yesterday and I was wondering about how they knew what to attack and wich are our bases and so on. Until now nobody could answer me. But another buddy told me about an application for the live map. Does the download still exist somewhere? Thanks a lot in advance! :smilewink: I love your work!
