Well my initial quick and dirty test showed HT ON caused stutters where there should be none. FPS were the same and all I just noticed more spikes in the frame counter just sitting on the runway in Kola with the apache in a MP Mission.. I am going to try and run without HT enabled for a bit and see how it goes overall..

OK I see but was there any testing conducted to see if this is fact the case. I still see in VR it can cause stuttering?? so that is why I asked.. I will do some testing then.. I will report back what I found.. now mind you a very much grain of salt with my findings and conclusions lol!!

well if you wouldlike help with your issue maybe post in a seperate thread as not to clog up the OP's thread but initially do you use user made mods and your settings might be too high.. also try a higher pagefile.. also post your specs and settings in DCS ..

Hey could you please post your logs and system specs?? Like I said but apparently it does not matter to you I get barley get real bad spikes and if I do usually they are not too bad as to where it ruins gameplay. I play on MP servers. So saying it DCS causing it well if that is the case why am I barely affected?? I only say I dont have problems not to insult just maybe somebody will see why I dont and some do.. there has to be a reason. and as you found out it was not 2.9.6 as the older version you say had the small issue so I think maybe something with your PC..

Hey Guys, I seen an real old post where it states to keep HT On in DCS while using MT. Now I was wondering has anybody did any testing to see if this is still true and if so what were the results of your testing?? If nobody has done the test I guess I could check into it just was wondering what would be the best way to go about it with DCS?

well if you run speedstep it will declock when just idle or doing minimal work.. if you do not want it running max all the time..

Well if it compressed and DCS needs to uncompress it too use it sure there will be a hit. I guess just have it like a regular install and see for yourself.. me I would not want it compressed regardless how much space it takes up.. I had experimented with uncompressing files that are zipped in DCS regularly but not sure if it helped and I guess you would need to run some test to see if it helped.. I forget which files are zipped but unzipped they made the game even larger then it was at the time by alot.. so if those files are doubly zipped I guess it would take even longer to unzip them so they can be used.. IDK try uncompressing what you compressed and see what the frametimes and such are.. I found the files that are zipped it is in the textures folder.. here is my location K:\Games\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\textures.. this is seperate from what you zipped and they might be double zipped??

well it depends on the cost of each card and I see you run 1080P so either card should be fine.. depends on the cost at this point.. I had both

Have you tried contacting Pimax directly?? I have not heard anything but what I did here they were having issues with the panels for the non local dimming.. I think it was a supply issue..

yes it makes perfect sense.. thnx

Hey Thnx for the info. so if I got a better cpu do you think the gpu usage would go up, differnt question that whta I am seeking just wondering now if the usage would increase with a better cpu?

Well, yes I mean in the past I could of swore I was in the 95-99% range but that was a different GPU. I now have a 4070ti so maybe that is why I am so low. But that is not the reason I ask. I am trying to get an overall baseline of what gaming rig playin DCS GPU Usage is at.. I am trying to determine the best settings for when I test my OC and such what a average GPU Usage can be.. I use OCCT and in the standard test I can select the GPU USage and was going to base my usage off of what was averaged out over as many users as I can get to let me know what their usage is.. I mean even if you dont fly DCS any game will do I am just trying to figure out what would be a good real world usage of the gpu can be.. thnx

Hey All, As the title says I am just looking for some info. I would like to know what GPU USage you have during gaming in your heaviest of scenes or MP servers.. If you have a screenshot that will be fine but you just need to tell me what it was when you looked at the GPU Usage.. just gathering metadata on what normal gameplay usage could be.. For me I was getting like 52% GPU Usage according to windows performance monitor.. I could have sworn I seen it higher in the past?

Hey That is good news hope it works forever

Did you use DDU to uninstall the drivers?? also do you get any video glitches during gaming. Also what is the temp of your GPU when playing DCS?

try turning off hotplug device maybe??

IDK, a log file could be helpfull, sysspecs. I have no issues with maintaining above 60FPS and I fly in VR. with wehre I have it set I avg above 80FPS and sometimes on 90FPS, I do not get stutter.

Well it is a good idea if you play on those BIG MP Servers like Contention as they do use alot of RAM. if you are just playing Single player in semi smaller mission it probally is not needed.. Either way only the end user will know if it is worth it or not once they do the upgrade.. but do not expect FPS Increases or the like.. Glad it was worth it for you.. EDIT: Also the best way to know if you need more ram is to play your missions and then check RAM usage..

Well I am sorry but I guess the way it was worded was not correct. but to me and the way it was worded ment that I will not get the Master Caution when doing a cold start. but I was just reporting it as I thought it was broke on the MT.exe that is all.. But if it is how it should be that is not a problem still nice to see some fixes for the Viggen..

This was said in the updae notes. but when I goto do a cold start the master caution still throws a warning upon flicking the 1st switch, is this supposed to happen or not?? Either way it is happening the master caustion still comes on in a cold start? this is the MT.exe thnx

Well that is the thing as there is No effect when on the carrier or taking off from it..

that is not it either.. it is just DCS.LOG..

well Actually we were wondering if there is supposed to be an buttkicker effect when taking off on the carrier?? I played a mission on carrier takeoff but did not feel any rumble and was wondering if the ground roll was supposed to be the carrier takeoff sound effect. It works when I test it just no effect when taking off from a carrier..

Hey A.F., on an unrelated issue I ended up reinstalling Win 10 and when I installed SS the sound was back for the roll on ground effect.. maybe try and uninstall and reinstall the Sim Shaker program. also make sure you have the updated version,. I had gotten a responce from Andre and he asked which screen so I showed him lets see what he says..

this one the green graph line showed. is there supposed to be a catapult launch effect when going down the deck in the buttkicker?? I was just ingame and did not hear one but there should be an effect..
