Wingnutt270

I’m not getting the performance I would expect when playing in VR, are there any DCS specific settings or tweaks or a guide for improving performance? I’m getting a fair bit of studdering and 1-2 second freezes when in VR. I’m running a rift S at 1.3SS. Messing with the trees and grass doesn’t seem to make any appreciable difference in performance, or really any other settings for that matter. Dialing the SS to 1.0 really doesn’t seem to make a difference either (except stuff is uglier of course) System: WIN 10 Ryzen7 3800X @4.5ghz EVGA RTX 2070 XC, water cooled running 2150/7500 clock/ram 16GB DDR3200 1TB SSD.

It was the INS. I was forgetting to set it to norm instead of nav to Allow for calibration.

Ok maybe this will help, it shows the issues Im speaking of all in one shot. Im in AG mode and have have GBU10s selected. As you can see I have a building targeted with the TGP, and am almost on top of it at this point. The TGP indicator in the hud is still in the center of the hud despite the TGP being pointed almost straight down. The bomb drop indicator is off to the side and the slider never moved down to signal the drop, the time to release timer shows 19 seconds, and has shown 19 seconds for the duration of the bomb run, it never changed. So basically I have no visual cues as to when to drop the bombs or where the target even is, since neither the TGP indicator or any of the hud symbology will give the correct information.

Lets start over with the problems, this is getting a bit OT. Yes I can put it in CCRP and it snaps to the waypoint that is selected and I can move the waypoint around with it, yes, that works. UPDATE: as of today the TGP will no longer lock on to buildings or ground objects at all but I saw there was already a post about that. I can set it as SOI and move it around, that is not a problem what IS the problem: lack of symbology on the HUD showing where the TGP is pointing, there is a little box in the center of the hud hat pops up, I assume thats the TGP.. but it doesent move when I move the TGP around, it stays put. The bobm release indicator does not work for dumb bombs or LGBs when using the TGP, there is no countdown, the release slider never moves down, and the drop line stays pegged to the right or left of the screen. Regarding the line being stuck, its STUCK if its on the left side, I can fly a full circle and it will never move, it will never be in the middle no matter what. I only plan in VR but Ill see if I can get a screen shot to help explain.

Been messing with this a few days, noticed the following. CCRP doesnt work, at all, dumb bombs, laser guided, it doesent matter. When using the TGP and locking a target, the CCRP line/drop indicator always stays pegged to the left or right of the hud even when the selected target (designated by TGP) is directly in front of the aircraft, the "release" line never moves down indicating when to release.. its just not functional in any way shape or form. I cant get it to work as intended -at all- and this is very very far from my first DCS rodeo.

I upgraded my processor and now every time I launch DCS the activation windows for A10 and FC3 pop up. I can hit "retry" and the activation goes through, but even after clicking OK the windows do not close, and can only be closed through task manager. This happens ever.single.time I run the game now. please advise

Ok I got it working, sort of. But now the struggle is that there seems to be no hud symbology whatsoever for where the TGP is pointing. I'm in VR so maybe its just missing in VR, because On the video I linked there is an indicator, but I sure am not seeing it when I play.

I followed this video: And it makes sense right up until I try to actually bomb something. I cannot control the TGP when in AG mode, it just follows the CCIP. when NOT in AG mode I can set it as SOI and slew it with the radar cursor controls just fine... with he exception that the box indicating where its looking stays in the middle of the hud no matter where I'm pointing it, making it very difficult to use in general. So even if I somehow manage to get the pod pointed at something, as soon as i switch to A-G it jumps off of the target and goes to CCIP.. What am I missing here? what is that video leaving out?

Running rift at 1.5PD and cant see a damn thing, even swapping around external views to see where the other aircraft is so I know where to look and I still cant see anything.... How many years has this been a problem?

I tried that but if I edit the font any lower it goes away completely. For example I changed it from 15 to 12 and there was NO dot. EDIT: Editing the file seems to break it. If I change the font at all it no longer works. I changed it from 15 to 12 and it vanished completely, changed it back to 15 and its still gone. I'm editing it in notepad, is that possibly breaking it? Ive repeated this 5 times so far and get the same result. if I extract the original from the zip it works fine, but if I edit it at all it stops working.

Defiantly works, but the pixel is HUGE when the AC are rather close.

Negative, this is completely different, its not the rift's resolution, the F18, P51, AV8, A10 (A and C) have legible and readable cockpits under the same settings. Even if you zoom in on the panel its illegible, very very blurry SEE ATTACHED

The cockpit labels are fuzzy and completely illegible in VR, even with HMD res set to 1.5 in the rift. is there a fix?

YES. Its as though the plane spawns partially buried and explodes as soon as you hit FLY

Read my post, I didn't set it to waypoint 0, it just goes to waypoint 0 when I add it to waypoint 3, or any other waypoint. That's the main issue, I add the bombing task to waypoint 3 and as soon as I apply it it goes to waypoint 0. :huh:

I took a break from a bit and came back so I'm a bit rusty, but I used to be able to get the mission editor to do what I wanted pretty well, but I'm having an odd issue with bomber commands. Scenario: Set B52 with Mk82s, takeoff, 2 way-points gaining altitude towards target. way-point 3 add carpet bombing or any sort of ground attack bombing command, dosent matter. Issues: first off despite setting the bombing command on way-point 3, it shows it from way-point 0 (takeoff) I can delete it and redo it over and over to no avail it just goes back to way-point 0 no matter what I try the result is the same, the bomber arrives at the bombing way-point and then turns for home, does nothing. Ive tried: making sure the bomber has enough distance to get setup for the run. switching the ordnance from AUTO to iron bombs. tried switching to a B1B. no change no matter what. see attached demo mission. I feel like i'm just forgetting or missing something, its been a while. rws.miz

I used the torrent today for the update and it worked excellent.

The Replay system might as well be removed from the game, it functions so poorly as to be completely usless.

Search for "Throttle Designator Controller "left, right etcetc THAT is the control for the slew, and you can map it to a hat switch. NOTE: YOU MUST BE IN AA MODE. if you are not in AA mode the cursor will not move.

That is how you move the little designator square around.. yes.

Is anyone else randomly having the big X across the radar sometimes, despite it still being active and working?

He says something after mentioning AUTO mode that is muttered/gibberish.. ??? So in AUTO mode it will NOT automatically dispense chaff/flare when you are fired on? Because I thought thats what it was for.:joystick:

How long ago was it mentioned?

unpacked size is almost 20GB.. I'm pretty sure it re-downloaded the entire game.

I love the M2000, too bad I cant actually fly it because I switched to the Standalone version of the game because the steam version flat sucks. Is there any chance of ever getting my plane back? I paid (full price) for it and can prove it, or is it "buy it again, sucker" ?
