Hi all. I've built many a system myself - but now's the time to let someone else. As title really. Flying @4k (no VR YET). The system will have 64GB RAM and be paired with a 3080 until its MLU. They can both destroy AAA playstation games, I'm looking for recommendations for DCS. I'm not looking at Intel as I intend to upgrade the processor in a couple of years time and want to stay with the same socket and not bother with the motherboard shinanigans. Just take out and put in. I can't upgrade my current i7 to it's newer sibling for example. The company I'm looking at has the 7-9800x3d as £87 more than the 7-9800x3d. (GOD those numbers are confusing. Don't get me started on ZEN and AM sockets)! The 7800x3d is £42 cheaper, but I'm not thinking about that one. I've looked at benchmarks but open to suggestions. Any thoughts and recommendation MUCH appreciate. MrR.

Thank you for your VERY quick reply. Keep up the good work

Bizare one this. Only noticed the other day. REALLY HAVE tried to find key conflicts and am happy to be corrected if it's working as intended. I fly exclusively in the front. George transits for me while I target, then I take over to fight and dodge. Left MPD T1 = c-scope. When I turn OFF george with the c press, it toggles OFF the C-scope. Like I'm pressing the button. Never done this before. I turn c-scope back on with my cougar button, and lo and behold when I turn George off again ............. IT goes off again! When I press C on its own to turn George ON, the button is NOT pressed and c-scope isn't back on. (ruling out the key bind duplicate). The C button it would seem is only programmed for the George toggle, and there is NO key bind for T-1 (I use cougar MFDs). Any ideas? I have also just rebound the George key and he still turns it off. It's like he's been programmed that way. BIZARE!!!! Why does he tinker with my front seat panel. "Why the c-key?" I hear you ask - it's part of a macro I use. Swap to George and then show the action circle. Video to demonstrate.

I fly 100% in the front. 80% with George flying for me whilst I target and tell him where to casually fly using the menu system. I take control for take off and landing and any quick actions. Often I'll also fly like the FA-18 - flying manually AND targetting. That is interesting ! My macros are set to assume the comms rose is up and starts on flight mode. Sometimes the macro may skip a selection. Many a time I've turned off my flares by mistake. Having each command seperate would be SO useful. +1 please.

+1 Scanning through this I was thinking about mentioning the "other" sim too!!!

Gotta say, +1 for George. Bob is fine as an arcade mechanism, but George is ... so much more refined. On my part, flying on the rotorops server with a 20 minute shuttle to the action he crashes 9 times out of 10 half way there. Sometimes into a building, sometimes my joystick accidently sliding down (yes I know, don't work when you could be staring at a screen for 20 minutes lol)! Never have a problem in the Apache.

Funny enough, that's EXACTLY what I've just done! Great minds hey!

Well. Well..... Disgusting. I can't say much more, but you don't just delete a whole important chunk from a map. I haven't read it in entirety, but where in the road map does it say that once people have purchased something, it will then me taken away from them? mmmmmmm...........

Me too! Would love to have all commands as seperate keybinds. I've got macros for different commands - all working on the assumption i'm starting at a set point on the command rose. Sometimes I may not realise I'm in a different command (in hover for example) and the macro turns off the defensive aids (not good)!! Being able to program seperate binds would be great!

No science - but I zoom in to the map before coalition selection. Then pick side -> slot and it's been fine. I haven't poked the bear by trying to use the sliders quickly or anything.

I've managed to fly in every time today. Zoom in to the map on the coalition page. Click join --> 10-20 second pause. Select aircraft from the down ( 5x today it was snappy and quick - just now had a 10 second delay). Pick from that list and I'm in. Once in, >70fps. Yes - works for me and probably not for you, but hopefully it'll help someone!!! Good luck all!

It's really really laggy for me. Join coalition and then click a drop down --> lag. 20 seconds and the list will appear. Repeat again with sometimes 1 minute waits, and then the game will eventually crash. Haven't MP since the update. Single player = GREAT. EDIT: just tried rotorheads. As long as I don't click a drop down, I can scroll to the slot and I can get in. Hope this helps with a fix. Edit 2: scrolling didn't work. False hope. Twice now I've zoomed right in to the map on the coalition screen. Waited a bit. THEN gone to the slot selector. Seems to be more responsive this way. I think it's loading some map texture or something.

Thanks guys. I've done that for AVG and Windows defender. I don't know what this is though as it's a Windows Security thing. (I have excluded the DCS game folder in both). I'll try and see if I've missed something.

As the title really. This past week or so, DCS has taken even longer to load up to the menu. (Yes installed on m2 SSD). On the 15 years of DCS message - in task manager, the Windows security Antimalware Service Executable goes to very high and an even higher % of CPU than DCS. I have seen there has been an issue with PUA:Win32/Packunwan and that it is affecting: E:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-4E\bin\HeatblurJester.dll. Once DCS is loaded the Antimalware goes back to 0.1% and very low..... Could this be an issue? I have tried allowing it within protection history, but it never "saves". Any ideas? TIA - happy flying!

Always user error! Thanks.
