Hey Guys, I ran into what appears to be a bug of some kind. I was flying a mission in PG/Foothold and was on the deck of the Tarawa. now the thing that seemed broke was the helicopter took off upon going in the gunners seat and I was unable to set the Apache on the deck it would stay at 10feet above the deck and the message kept saying water underneath unable to land even tho I was directly over the carrier.. Now I am able to land on the Farps and airfields it just did not go back on the deck on the Tarawa and took off automatically even tho I did not initiate the takeoff.. This was with me in the CPG seat and getting George to fly. I will post my log file if it might help. but this was not a good thing as I wanted to change my loadout and I was unable to do so. Even when I came back after the mission was over the same thing happened. I did not save the track file but I can get one if needed. hopefully this can be rectified.. EDIT: It appears the recording of trk files is broke while on the tarawa.. you will notice while watching the trk file it appears I am over a farp which I am not.. so what do we do now? dcs.log Foothold_Persian_Gulf_Modded-20240813-135538.trk

Ya, well whatever it was the log stated it should not happen on a end users PC. maybe DCS is broke. maybe try a clean slow repair or a total reinstall?? I tried that benchmark and it ran horribly..

I did but it did not click that you reinstalled.. well then it has to be a faulty LAN Port/cable or card.. have you tried to ping the servers or run a trace route?

what is the cause of this error: 2024-08-09 21:06:15.879 ALERT DX11BACKEND (16072): Error: Can't find precompiled shader for effect ui/ui.fx:DIRECTX11=true;USE_DCS_DEFERRED=1;. Recompilation process will take some time, please wait (this situation should not occur on end user PC, if there is no manual shader editing) Are you manualy editing the shaders or similar?

did you try a clean and slow repair of DCS or a total uninstall reinstall??

well then try to Flush the DNS servers.. usually if the servers do not show up it is a game update on users end.. you sure you have interent 100% and it is not limited?

update the Game

that would be awesome

OK I will check into it thnx cheers

hmm I did that like you stated and when I hit A nothing changes??

did you take them out of the start position if a cold start?? you need to use the keyboard but I guess it could be mapped the the HOTAS?

what did you end up setting it at? EDIT: I seen a post and they poster stated to set the M-Range @500. which seemed to have worked.. I will have to check the manual to see how to set the Auto range up.. would that work better Auto Range??

in the VR Options in DCS do you have VR enabled??

you asked this in anotehr thread here??

Well I guess you answered your own question of course unless I missed something??

Hey guys, I was reading another thread and it was mentioned to get 2 drives one for Windowsd and a 2nd for Games and such. Well I bought a M.2 500GB and put windows on it and I have a 2nd M.2 drive I have my games on. Now my question is where should I put my Pagefile and should I move the saved games folder to my games drive?? I know they say you should put the pagefile on the fastest drive and that would be my games drive but there is games on it would that not interfere with the speed of the pagefile?? And if I have the poagefile on the fastest drive should I move my saved games to my fastest drive as well or dont that matter where it is.. it just seems like data flow will be jammed up no matter what I do. or should I just get another m.2 drive for the saved games folder and pagefile??

Are you talking about the BK LFE ones?? also for guys who do not race what is a lada and who is silverstone?? EDIT: Well I seen what a Lada is I am guessing siverstone is a track or similar??

Well it was just a friendly suggestion and I did give you an answer maybe try what I suggested.

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??
