i do not see any problems in graphics setting inside DCS. below are my settings from nvidia. compare them to your settings. the artefact you are talking about is usually AA. but screenshots do not do your observations justice.

heh. i have gotten good at going off the runway with new planes soooo.

i will test. i will probably test with F-16. AV8B is not configured in controls at the moment. i will let you know.

roger. of course freeze is a symptom of many other things. i mean even a huge pre-load radius can cause freeze. especially on the ground. as a test look upwards at sky when on ground to see if you get freeze.

there is a fairly famous report during the Operation Desert Storm a phantom fired HARM hit a b-52 in front. the tail gun radar was emitting. https://theaviationgeekclub.com/b-52-maintainer-tells-the-story-of-in-harms-way-the-buff-that-had-its-tail-blown-apart-by-an-anti-radiation-missile-fired-by-an-f-4g-wild-weasel/

i did not test but i would guess the ground is not properly modelled. a recent pic from google seems to look like any other smooth tarmac honestly. however it seems like this area is not intended for AC. kinda small it looks like to me.

hello. there is a really good publication titled Multiservice Brevity Codes from Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA404426.pdf in your example "MICKEY HAVE QUICK time-of-day (TOD) signal" HAVE QUICK is a radio mode. A UHF jam-resistant radio. another good resource for all F-16 blah blah. https://www.f-16.net/

good suggestion from rebel. also see if there is any sort of disk process going on like in my case i had my windows desktop backgrounds in slide show. it was an unwanted disk read. however i lean towards rebel's suggestion as best choice.

hello the track on my computer does not have any visual artefacts. this likely points to your computer. upload your latest dcs.log which will show your DCS graphics settings. then if possible share you nvidia control panel graphics settings for DCS via screenshot.

i would also suggest a repair. dcs_mt_manifest should be in all the folders concerning terrains.

hello another topic here with workaround

i suggest posting a new topic. that way we can get to the bottom of the issue fresh. the solution in this topic is not working.

i use a utility called DCS Update Witching Utility by Bailey (DCS v2.7.7.15038). there are several buttons that backup inputs and configs as a zip. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315428/ it works with the latest DCS version.

hello. i am unsure if this is this issue. you have a bunch of this in the log. 2024-11-17 11:30:54.592 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [SWD] Bedroom 1 2024-11-17 11:45:11.498 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [SWD] Media Room 2024-11-17 11:45:12.526 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [SWD] Media Room 2024-11-17 11:45:23.724 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [SWD] Bedroom 1 are you running the dedicated server properly? https://www.serveracademy.com/blog/how-to-host-a-dcs-server-full-step-by-step-guide/

when you say refuses to load... do you mean it does not download? or does it not install? i just tried the link shared and had no issues. but i did not try to install it because i have no issues. if you look in apps on windows, you may see many instances of various versions. this is from WIN10 null

lol

i have seen this before. not often. honestly i just ignore it. i have never seen it from the cockpit. i rarely fly around in any view except cockpit. perhaps this is why i rarely see the artefacts. do you notice any other graphics anomalies?

i know this CPU has had its share of problems. i read an article yesterday that may surprise some users. https://www.xda-developers.com/intel-core-i9-14900k-deteriorated/

i am not experienced with winwing or virpils. however, the hardware guids will change in windows with a new windows install.

i did not go through all the posts on this thread after i posted. forgive me if it has been suggested. sometimes RAM could be simply be reseated to correct issues.

in case it helps, i did this document back in 2021 when i got me current computer. https://pcwiseman.com/downloads_files/DCS_New_Computer.pdf

hello. please post your dcs.log found in \Saved Games\DCS\Logs it will have helpful information.

hey Ram. it could be that your AV is blocking access to the file. have you added exception in AV? if you are just using Microsoft Defender, add these exceptions. null

hello, are you running it with openxr toolkit? i believe that was added natively yo DCS a few months ago. meaning no need for the switches in the shortcut.

not sure that this would cause stuttering. you have this in the log. 2024-11-03 16:20:53.591 ERROR ASYNCNET (7648): HTTP request https://stat.digitalcombatsimulator.com/gameapi/stats4 failed with error 35: SSL connect error also in logs 2024-11-03 16:19:56.492 WARNING EDCORE (Main): CPU HAS PARKED LOGICAL CORES (this can be source of stuttering and reduced performance especially on hybrid CPUs with P/E-cores) try without pausing any cores
