Open Beta - latest upgrade: Planes simply crash into any obstacle or plane - even your own waiting in line to enter the active runway

TACAN works - but no plane - also static object not visible

same here - strange Nevada - great - FPS in the upper 40s Persian Gulf - good - FPS in the upper 30s Caucasus - bad - FPS in the lower 20s and stuttering badly - with some planes (like the L-39C) it drops into the lower 10s :( Please look into this - Thanks

Latest beta 2.5.3.23954 / Caucasus / F-5E Custom NDB beacon on a Russian Mobile Command Post at 355.50 sends the message (beep..bebeep...) - after the first time talking to ATC (like 'permission to start-up') the beeps are gone - the NDB stops working. I did not test other maps/planes 005 Senaki-Kolkhi - Gudauta.miz

multimonitor - drop down lists open up on the left (dark) screen instead within the mission editor runing on the center screen Running DCS OpenBeta - latest patch installed (18th Oct. 2018) Unpached DCS still OK

Steam or regular (open beta) version - something screwed up the controls. Another issue: F-5E - Trim does not work - unable to set take off trim

Driver Versions Hi DrNo First - it's nice but :smilewink: I aint no Mr - just HarryDeere41 The drivers - no secret -simply the latest drivers NVIDIA puts out on the web. Keep up the good work HarryDeere41

My words ..."If your sim behaves badly – it is not DCS’s fault!" - not totally true - read https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=215421

Here is how I got it to work :) ED Forums » English » Digital Combat Simulator » DCS World 2.5 » 2.5 Open Beta Bugs and Problems » Multi-Monitor Support » Triple Screen Performance

First - fantastic sim! Flying over the caucasus and the persion gulf is awesome! My two NVIDIA Ti 1080 with SLI connector show fantastic frame rates and a 'silky' smooth ride. On the same PC - with the same hardware - the same settings - the same version of the sim - the nevada map is un-flyable. You can almost see the frames arriving at the screen - lots of them even missing - so object do not move - but jump across the screen. Turning down the settings to 'medium' made it possible to get some motion into the sim but at what price... So I tuned down the 2.5 general release for the nevada desert and fly the caucasus & persian gulf in the open beta - full hog. Here my question to the developers - are there any plans on feeding back the knowledge of the caucasus & gulf map into the nevada map? Any other suggestions are welcome - but do not forget - the same hardware - the same everything - at the same time - the same version - just two very different results - two great maps - one not so great. Well – what do I say! A BIG FAT спасибо/thank you to the ED developers! Now the Nevada map is performing! The same silky, smooth ride as the other maps. With one of the last updates (I checked the release notes and probably overlooked the issue) the problems with the map have been solved and it is pure pleasure to fly it.

“How well does DCS World 2.5 scale when using two 1080 Ti's (in SLI mode) at 1080p x3 or even 1440p x3 at higher settings?” Plain & simple – fantastic! Planes behave different – much more realistic to me! EWorld apart from my first 660GTX to the twin Titans. But it was hard to find any information on what works and how…and with current hardware. Therefore, I decided to share my experience with the community. Putting the hardware together was not a simple task. I tried TrackIR – great product – but I feel sick immediately - VR not being an option, again I get sick quickly – so I went for the 3-screen experience. At first, I thought, “Why don’t I buy a Titan and stick it into my 4 year old PC…” – For starters – the case would not fit the card… (Using the saw was not an option) and I decided to build a brand new ‘up to date’ rig. In the last 6 to 8 months, some very good hardware has emerged on the market and all the pieces have to fit together! Here the details (and some “small print info”): The motherboard (Asus ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming) and the CPU (Intel Core i7-8700K (3.70GHz / 12MB)) have to fit together – both support the 8. Generation socket (LGA 1151 / H4). For CPU cooling I use a Corsair Hydro Series H115i PRO RGB. Power is crucial for the Titan graphic cards – two PCIe (8x 6+2-Pin) are needed – for EACH CARD! Every card uses up to 250 watts. With 500 watts gone just for the graphic cards I decided to go for the Corsair RM Series RM1000x - 1000W. With approx. 60-70% power usage, the fans are not constantly running at full speed and heat is acceptable. Now I needed a computer case with enough space (very important) so the air can circulate. I did not want to cramp the cards into an old case just to save a bit of money – it was/is not worth it. The cards heat up to (normal) 87° Celsius when flying. I went for the Corsair Crystal Series 570X RGB. Great case – fits also the CPU cooling fans (I had to swap places with the case fans – front case fans to the top – CPU fans to the front). Fantastic case – thanks Corsair! With the Corsair K95 RGB keyboard, the Corsair M65 Pro RGB FPS-Gaming-Mouse and Saitek X56 HOTAS Stick & Throttle night flights are truly awesome. You can fly in a dark room. Then there is the Asus ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Monitor connectors (currently) offered by the card are 1 x DVI (forget it – don’t use), 2 x HDMI and 2 x Display Port (DP). At first, the plan was to connect all three screens to one card using the HDMI for the center screen and the two DPs for the side screens. How silly of me. Let me explain why. It is all about Frame Rates (FPS) – or Hz. If your screen is 60 Hz – it can display 60 FPS or Frames per Second. The human eye is fooled starting at 30 FPS – 40 FPS to be safe – the more the better. I treated myself to 3 x Asus ROG Swift PG278QR capable of 144 Hz in ‘normal’ mode. Then I found out that HDMI standard is only supporting up to 60 Hz - only DP can transport higher FPS rates. If I was using 3 individual screens it would be possible to run different FPS but to use DCS you need to ‘fuse’ the screens (3 x 2560x1440) together to one big virtual screen of 7580x1440. This is accomplished with the NVIDIA Surround tool supplied with the card driver. The virtual screen can only have one frame rate – in this case, I was facing 60 Hz… Being keen of seeing the final (fantastic) result I ordered the second Titan – placed the SLI interface (provided with the motherboard – the motherboard has to be SLI compatible) and build my big virtual screen of 7580x1440. Important note: use the best cable to connect your monitors! Why? Again, it is the FPS! Measuring the FPS with a tool on the computer shows you the number of FPS produced by the graphic cards – never ever the FPS actually arriving at the monitor (through the cable). You go cheap on the cable – you lose more FPS than you might think – and you can hardly measure it. The monitor does not talk back to your measuring tool on the computer. I use 3 x 4K/60Hz certified DP cables and reach (hopefully true) FPS of up to 142. Beware - If your monitor is not able to display 144 Hz, you will simply not experience them. Now came the task of ‘how to tell DCS…’ After having locked me out of the application successfully (could not press the OK button as it was placed ‘out of range’ on the screen – my mistake, I started to edit the configuration file (the graphics section only) directly. The file is here: C:\Users\...your user name…\Saved Games\DCS...\Config\options.lua At first, I configured three cameras and the width of 7560 . Great view – but my cockpit stretched over all three screens like a big banana – I could not fly like that. Then I figured that this could be due to the aspect ratio setting. The aspect ratio is an imaginary, diagonal line across the screen. This value calculates by width divided by height. In my case this was 7580/1440 = 5.3333333333 ["graphics"] = { … ["aspect"] = 5.3333333333, … ["height"] = 1440, … ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "3cameras", … ["width"] = 7580, This produced the final and awesome result! Beware – you see not one screen but 3 camera views – one to the front and two to either side of your cockpit. Like in reality, the sides are more or less tilted downwards to the left and right of your side screens. After 2-3 landings, you get used to it. Checking the runway for any aircraft is like in real life Finally yet importantly – reset the Monitors to factory default – DCS does the rest. Closing thoughts – would not try it with only one Titan. If your sim behaves badly – it is not DCS’s fault! Fantastic flying – Thank you DCS Team! Feel free for any comments & questions HarryDeere41

First - DCS is awesome - extremely realistic - simply awesome! The Persian Gulf still makes it hard for me to go to sleep – and not to get up after 10 minutes and go flying again… The only thing strange to me is, when I am talking to ATC - same voice - perfect English. Would be great if ATC speech would be more 'localized' - In the Caucasus region Russian ATC is great and airfield names are pronounced correctly (Great to have some women voice too!) but I speak no Russian so I keep it on English. English however is too perfect - what about a Russian native speaking broken English with an accent. Also in the Persian Gulf - what about different native Arabic speaker pronouncing the airfield names correctly and speaking English with an Arabic accent? It is strange to me flying to places like Lar Airfield and be greeted by an English/American guy on the radio. Ground crew the same - in the Nevada desert, personnel is American - but in the other regions available in DCS, it is (probably) not. If this wish is not fulfilled - null Problemo - DCS is awesome - keep up the fantastic work guys.

Problem fixed - Thanks guys! Persian Gulf Map - Fantastic Job! Glad to get to know how to fly the plane in the Caucasus - Desert airstrips with crosswinds & turbulences prove to be adventurous - and short some times ;)

Thanks NineLine ;) cool clip - exactly the point - find that guy with the plug in its hand...

Night landing (22:30) - Airports turning off runway lights on final After the last ATC call on final approach (...check landing gear...) the airport turns off the lights ...just to turn them on as soon as the wheels have touched the ground Tested Gudauta & Batumi / MiG-29S
