Is there a way to disable Voice Chat while in a server? Im trying to resolve a matter I posted here: Thanks

Theres a bit more to the issue than that but thanks. If I can just disable it, that would resolve the matter.

I said "Specials" tab above in error and corrected it to "Audio", but NO that check box is Greyed out and can not be toggled while in a Server, but thanks.

Apache specific question, I am having difficulty with conflicts between 2 sources of Radios, SRS and DCS Voice Chat. I am setup with SRS just fine in the Apache, and to get to the point, I want to use the exact same pushbutton on my Throttle for Push to Talk for Intercom use. Problem is, some servers I go into don’t use SRS, so they resort to DCS Voice Chat, which is fine by me. Only problem is, with both SRS and DCS Voice Chat using the same HOTAS button for PTT Intercom, and I jump in a Server that is actually using SRS, it creates a conflict when I press the button for Intercom. I thought I would just find a way to disable DCS Voice Chat while in Game through its GUI, but I didn’t find a way to shut it off either there or using the “Audio” tab in options. Any idea how to simply disable DCS Voice Chat in game? Thanks,

Its simply horrible!

So your flying on a server called "Contention"? I was listening to the Podcast and it was mentioned that you flew on Rotorheads, and mentioned Tuppers name as someone you fly with frequently? I went to your Discord and really didnt see any pinned info for fundamental info.

@Raptor9 Thank you for explaining that, makes sense now, thanks.

While on the subject though, when you see something TRACKING you (Dashed yellow line from IT to YOU) does that mean it is specifically tracking YOU or could also mean it might be tracking another Friendly in the vicinity? Ive had communication with other friendly fixed wing in the area where i would call out Im being tracked by an enemy fixed wing and they would respond that its not me he is locking onto, its them? I get confused then if its me that needs to break off my engagement and find a place to mask or its the friendly fixed wing that is being focused on by the enemy?

@SkateZillaThanks for the feedback. I had been running MSAA x4 with 2.8, I spent alot of time with this new rig awhile back getting the settings dialed in to prioritize no stuttering. Frame times were a major monitoring part of that and I succeeded at MSAA x 4. I will test with MSAA at 2x and see how it goes. Thanks

Im running MT

Well,, you seem to have succeeded, and I envy you! I would like to do the same but as you can see, where I wasn't struggling with stuttering and have had exceptional frame rates and times in 2.8 and 2.9 with DLSS on, later to realize that my MFD text was crap because of the upscaling, I now have a different dilemma. Back to crisp MFD but a bit of stuttering (Frame times a bit high)

@SkateZillaJust as a quick test, I put DLSS back on and to the initial settings I posted,,, watched the frame times (NOT FPS) and they were pretty steady at 8.33. then I turned off DLSS and enabled MSAA at X4, and turned off SSAO + SSLR + DOF and frame times were worse and averaging 11~14. As I recall, staying below 9 or 10 was recommended to avoid stuttering. So, I dont get it, I was afraid of going down this rabbit hole.

@SkateZilla I hear ya! Keep in mind I was doing well in 2.8 with similar settings, so when I configured 2.9 and frames were still well over 120, I thought i was fine until I discovered the MFD text that you gentleman have kindly pointed out. Now that DLSS is OFF and MSAA is back to 2.8 settings, I discovered some noticeable stuttering. And to be completely honest, Im not mentally absorbing all of the impacts of these individual settings no matter how many utube vids I watch or discussions related to them, they just kinda go over my head. And I dont really understand which settings I should cut back on to get the highest quality Video I can get with a 4090 at (3840 x 1600). Im ok with frame rate drops (not primary focus) as long as all is smooth and as clean and crisp as I can expect with this hardware. Thank you,

@SkateZilla @SharpeXB Thanks guys, DLSS off resolved that. I did enable MSAA 4x also, I was running over 120 FPS in both 2.8 & 2.9 prior and I locked FPS at 120, now frames are about 80 with some noticeable jittering. I will try and figure that out next. @SharpeXBI disabled SSS before because i was getting weird shadowing wit hit on, but thanks. null null

Since 2.9 update, I havnt been able to get my MFD text to be as sharp/crisp/legible as I had it in 2.8. I tinkered with the new graphics settings but have not been successful. I wound up turning the Sharpness slider to max as well, but no luck at the highest settings or lowest or anywhere in between. I have a 4090Ti and I was fine before the update. The Viper screen shot probably represents the concern more than the Apache. I have the latest NVIDIA Driver and have done repair. Please advise. Thanks,

No, its still a wild ride! I have patiently trimmed her out to the point where it was just about holding steady as a rock, then engaged ATT,,,, sit back and enjoyed the ride LOL.. sometimes I would have to disengage because it would just about crash, sometimes, it would settle out.

Yup. same here

Glad you solved your issue, but it poses a question. it was always my understanding that if you have old mission from a previous version of DCS, you should open the old file in the Mission Editor and then simply save it and that would update the mission file so it could run on the newer version of DCS. Am I correct?

Always sumthin LOL,,,, thanks though

I have it working now, What I find interesting is that I selected that entire "Keyboard" Column multiple times since yesterday, and once selected, I clicked on " reset Category to Default" and it did NOT place a "TAB" keybinding in the "Multiplayer Chat-Mode All" So I didnt think I had to ADD the "TAB" key to that line because it didnt install it there by default, and still doesnt? So I ADDED it manually,, ,now all is well. Thanks for the lead!

Thats how it used to work for me as well. So like right now, I jumped in a fresh server, Chat window is up by default, I hit TAB,, and no change, window is still up? null

Hmmm,,, ok thanks. I assume something has changed because forever i have been only cycling the "TAB" key to Show/Hide,,, no fuss with that LOL EDIT: That didnt bring the window back either? null

I used to be able to cycle the Chat window on & off by simply hitting the "TAB" key. I dont remember if there was another default keybind for it in 2.8 but either way, thats how I cycled it without any fuss. I see now that the keybind for "Chat Show/Hide is "LCtl + LShift +Y" which is fine for the moment, but when I hit ""LCtl + LShift +Y", the Chat window goes away (GREAT!), when I want it back, I again hit "LCtl + LShift +Y" again, but nothing happens? No Chat window? Now I am able to bring up the Chat window to type in a message for Allies or All individually, but not just the chat window for viewing current messages? Thoughts? Thanks, null

I will have to note the conditions next time I experience this

Yes, I get this with the Hellfires myself,,,I dont know what it means either, but it wont rifle until the message clears
