FUMS - Processor Affinity tool what is the recommendation? to use the tool and limit dcs to just a few hand selected cores? how do you decide which ones to chose?

i’m sure it was discussed, but money, revenue and roi profits are very strong forces. not many companies can resist.

New built solely for DCS not defending. just correcting a few of the statements. like i need to do here. while your statement is possibly true (they offer a lot of short term introductory offers and discounts), it’s a statement of FUD. in actuality, iRacing has stated they have more paying members now than ever before. i get that it’s not your thing. thats cool.

why pay extra for a DLSS card when you can’t use it for anything? and might not be able to use it for anything next year either?

New built solely for DCS technically, you never own any software. you only license it. in the case of iRacing, the license is for the online use. like a SAS company. if you ever go back online with iRacing, all your content will still be available and ready to use.

also consider how many devices you are plugging into the same usb “controller”. you may have a lot of physical ports available, but the controller can be overloaded. this can cause performance issues. if you have a lot of devices, or few high bandwidth devices (VR sensors for example), you should be plugging them into a usb card with its own controller.

Nvidia Slowly Becoming a Monopoly? most hardcore pc gamers have no brand loyalty. they are after performance. they buy the fastest cpu and the fastest gpu. the brand on the box makes no difference.

New built solely for DCS it can be expensive if you want it to be. same as dcs. it can also be fairly cheap. as there is free content cars and tracks of different types. same as dcs. if you buy everything, yes, that adds up. same as dcs. it all depends how much you want to spend

there is always latency and interruptions in a system. which prevents either component from being able to run at full speed.

buying used “last gen” gear is definitely the ticket. you can get 80% of current gen performance for less than half the cost.

the company producing the product will always say that. it helps sell. the reality is, there are not many software titles that support it or get a boost from it.

DCS on ssd theoretically, because there would be less contention on the single ssd and some requests could be done in parallel. but in real life? no, you’ll never notice an difference in speed with ssd. i wouldn’t bother with it. it’s not worth the trouble.

if i can leave the keynote with $300 still in my pocket, i’ll be happy.

DCS on ssd everything on ssd if you can afford it. if not, at least put your OS and swap file (default windows installation)

they can only invest what they have or can borrow. which isn’t much. if you don’t invest, who will?

yes. they are a “for profit” business and have investors that require a return.

we can prevent this by choosing and purchasing more AMD cards.

Nvidia RTX cards and DCS - ? does it require special coding support at the application level (in dcs), or will it “just work” ?

you can email and ask.

DCS use of Pagefile windows uses the “free” memory for buffers and various housekeeping duties to increase performance. there is not a single modern operation system that is designed to not use a pagefile (even your phone uses one) but of course as you know, you can turn it off.

that’s because some of the changes in windows 10 are around general and even game performance.

windows is designed to use a page file. why disable it?

i am sorry to hear this. life lesson - sometimes, it costs you $50 to save $20. hang in there. tell the seller you want to back out of the transaction and file a paypal dispute. then go buy your gear from a reputable seller.

windows is designed to use a swap file (see msdn and other docs for info). just let it do what it needs to do. trying to prevent it from working the way it’s designed is asking for trouble.

Helicopter Sale - Group Buy legality? oh brother. dcs is a great sim and real people worked really hard on it. why not let them have enough to pay for lunch?
