Thanks I managed to get it all working - only issue is on MSFS with a quality wide preset I am maybe getting 4 or 5 fps improvement (DCS gave me around 20!)
-
Thanks for the reply: 1)so for the control question I am actually using a Virpil stick (also have a few other devices connected via a hub!) so when u say select “load profile” at the top do u mean I then need to select a saved profile to load or by clicking the button it loads up what was bound on that controller previously? 2)so in terms of trying FR with MSFS what’s the best way - have been told all I need to do is in the openXR in game menu I need to enable FR + preset then select a preset from below and it should work or is there a better way?(will leaving the quad view option selected in openXR app if it doesn’t interfere)
-
thanks for the advice will give it a try after I have tweaked DCS - I am told the best way to set FR up in MSFS is simply to select FR in the openXR in game settings and then just select a preset in the same menu - is this your experience or is there a better way?
-
thanks will try these settings..... also unrelated questions (and no idea if you play MSFS) - the FR is done in a different way on MSFS although the apps used are the same - just wondering if all the apps remember your settings for each sim or do you need to set everything up again as you switch between sims? - also does have the quad app installed mess up the FR for MSFS?
-
Thanks for the guide very helpful! 1)was unaware of the tally mouse companion app but will give it a try - assume this just lets u tweak the quad view settings - also are your preferred setting much difference from the stock settings? 2)for quad view setup i realise u need to restore all the open XR in game menu settings to default - is the recommendation that they are kept as default once it’s all setup - or are u able to lower the resolution from 4000x to 3000x for example or add in some sharpening and it will still work correctly?
-
thanks got it working! couple more question 1)I know you have to reset all the options in the openXR (ctrlf2) screen to default - once its all running should I drop the resolution in the openXR options to 3500x (from the 4000x) and also is it ok to enable something like FSR sharpening when using it? - also in the openxr settings is there any other way to navigate it except with the f keys? 2)finally noob question - have a new few devices connected (virpil stick throttle and some rudder) - spent a bit of time assigning the devices to the right axis and then saved everything to a .lua file however the next time I played the bindings seem to have mostly disappeared and when I try and load the profile not everything seems to be restored - just wondering what I might be doing wrong if you can point me to a good setup guide?
-
Thanks for the reply 1)when u say goes straight to VR assume u mean when u check the VR box in the far right VR menu it restarts the sim in VR? 2)if yes that’s exactly what I did - I had Pimax VR running open VR and also the main pimax software all running and it just restarted the game back into 2d even though the VR box was ticked? 3)any idea what might be wrong or if I am missing some other software (heard of some other software called composite (not sure of exact name)) or do I just need the same apps I use for MSFS ?(currently not running steamvr or windows mixed reality do I need any of these ones running?)
-
just setting up my crystal for DCS and just wondering what programs I need (is it the same as MSFS - x2 XR tools) or something else - and when in the main menu how can you switch across to VR?
-
1)also running a 7950x3d and I was about to mention the solution of setting the bios to cache (have never been able to get the other solution involving the game bar and optimizer to work!) - surprised this one is not working and it worked well for me on MSFS and some other games........ 2)also when I tried to run the the MT.exe I get an almost immediate crash - is there any way to fix this? (note am running the SMT disabled)
-
reading the thread with interest (just building a new PC for MSFS and DCS). 1)will go with the 4090 (as a fly 2d and VR) but just wondering is there any consensus regarding whether the AMD 7800 or 7950 is better for DCS/MSFS? (not don't mind paying the extra if it will give me better performance across both sims) 2)also assuming the issue with the Asus motherboards and AMD CPU's has now been resolved with a firmware update - or is it still worth considering an intel? 3)Had big issues getting the new MT to work with my olf i76700 assume it will run equally as well in MT with either the 7950 and 7800?
-
thanks was unaware! 1)I believe the echo sound mods are in the saved games folder so will leave them...... 2)so for the repair which one do you recommend is this the full slow one or something else? (assume this would detect the sound mods and also might require them to moved) - should I try first just a reinstall of the super hornet mod or is this unlikely to work? 3)not familiar with OVG or JSG - which one would you recommend and is easiest to use? (really just have the super hornet, sounds and some skins)
-
just ran the update for normandy 2.0 and as a result my super hornet is broken(although did back up all the old legacy hornet folders) so just wondering: 1)to fix it do I just need to "reinstall" the x2 mod and core mod folders? (overwriting any files) 2)know its the wrong thread but also have the echo19 super hornet sound mod installed - will this still work correctly or need a reinstall? 3)for future DCS updates will I just need to manually reinstall the super hornet mod files or is there another fix?
-
thanks managed to get the discord working now - what channel are you on? also in terms of the locked fps strangely its now unlocked itself but the stutter has returned (although less than before) - as I mentioned the only thing I (knowingly) changed was the threaded optimization (which initially seemed to cure the stutter)
-
its strange the only settings I have changed when it seemed to be running uncapped (with stutters) is the thread optimization (this caused the stutters to vanish) and max frame rate (to 1000) strangely when I did this there was some kind of projected frames that was hitting 1000 but the top box was rock solid at 32! (have now disabled max frame rate) - weird thing is that it does not feel like 32 fps(but very smooth). 1)is there any way to confirm the MT is actually working? 2)will try the nvidia fps counter see if it also says 32? (should fraps also work?) 3)are there any in game settings that might cause the fps lock at 32? (I never use vsync) also just tried to join the DCS discord channel and can not seem to post or view anything on any of the channels (all greyed out) - can I have instructions on how to use the "help room" please?
-
the above is correct (although I think you can also put them into the main install folder) - while most of mine now work I had a few (VFA102 for example) where many of the planes appear with the front 1/2 in black not sure if this is a bug or due to different versions of DCS being used.....
-
its very strange as the 32 fps at the top (assume this is the current fps) looks like its fixed (almost as if there is a vsync on that locks your fps to 32!) 1)is there any setting that might cause this behaviour? (strangely with the thread optimization off the fps jumps around 60-70 but its a complete stutter fest). 2)where can I enable the nvidia fps overlay and will give it a try? (assume fraps will not work). (edit this is all in 2d)
-
so (testing in 2d first) had a stutter fest and run the slow repair (no difference) but in my nvidia control pane if I set my max frame rate to 1000fps and enable threaded optimisation seems to help and removes the stutter - however strangely using the fps counter (ctrl+pause) at the top (in blue) it shows fps now as almost locked at 32 and T as zero and below its say gpu bound with a "theor FPS of 1410"! - whats going on and what is my real FPS (it certainly does not feel like 32?)

resolved Multithreading very poor performance - fixed with slow repair
mac22 replied to egon83's topic in Game Performance Bugs
thanks - actually did all that and the MT still does not work for me (message regarding CPU bound appears) have a i7 6700 and it seems some different CPU's will not work with the MT - there is already a thread on it "MT CPU Bound Renderthread, CPU Main Thread" -
thanks for the confirmation will give it a try then! also in terms of using the super hornet do you have to build a mission using the planner or are there any SP missions(like instant action) that come with the pack?
-
just about to give this a try "This mod does not replace the ED legacy Hornet but overwrites the ED F/A-18C to combine the SuperBug." but just want to check : ) if your overwriting some 18C files are you breaking the 18C or will it still work as normal?(i mean all the SP 18C missions)
-
getting the same and lots of stutters on a i7 6700 with a 2080ti (already ran the slow repair) strangely my fps has gone up by 20+ at least but huge stutters......

mac22 replied to egon83's topic in Game Performance Bugs
ok i now get what you mean - have found in my saved games folder (not install folder) I have the scripts folder (this seems to be virtually empty?) and also I have a mods folder (with my echo19 sound mod and some aircraft) - are you suggesting to disable the mods I just need to rename the "scripts" folder and I can just leave the "mods" folder unchanged to disable the mods and then I can just run the repair? -

mac22 replied to egon83's topic in Game Performance Bugs
thanks will give it a try (starting with the slow clean up) assume you mean this? also for the mods only really one I have is the core sound mod - could this really be causing the conflict? (also will check how to install but is there a folder where these mods sit so I can check if I might have installed anything else?) thanks - by uninstalling are you talking about the mods? will try the clean up first - yes non MT works fine MT is a complete stutter fest and unplayable...... -

mac22 replied to egon83's topic in Game Performance Bugs
I am getting the stuttering mess!(trying 2d before VR). When you say slow repair do you mean on the dcs updater file in the bin folder? Also should I try and remove any mods? (mainly just have a few of the sound mods) - but what is the best way to remove these? (what folder needs deleting) and whats the best way to bring up a fps counter in dcs?
