  1. Thank man been doing that all day. Temps seem fine. GPU never breaks 60s . Cpu around 50s (360mm water block on there) I dont get the whole 0.00 video card memory used thing. My other system had a running number as world loaded into memory. It was also incredibly smooth. This pc doesnt look as good lol . I got it just for dcs too. Im going to run the usual tests like you said and see where that goes. Ill report back after . Thanks for reply. If anyone has any idea of why vid card memory usage is ALWAYS at 0 (when using right ctrl print screen) please shout out. ty I ran a latency checker and its always above 1000us but usually in yellow. Never green. A few red bars here and there. It wasnt any of the usb ports that I can tell. I think this is looking like some crappy driver issue tbh.
  2. Whats up all. Just upgraded to a rtx 2080 ti / 10700k. Im seeing 0 video memory usage (right control /print screen 2x). I was expecting a some performance boost. But this is worse than my 8700k/ 1080 ti /rifts combo. Im wondering if i have a defective component somewhere. Has anyone heard of any issues like this? I googled it and no results regarding 0 video mem usage. Aside from that its not that smooth. There is noticable choppiness which I wasnt getting in free flight before. I tweaked it pretty much exactly as before (no msaa) , toned settings down, still performance issues. I just put the pc together today so Im hoping its something easy to fix. Id hate to return it all. Its literally an entire new z490 build . My settings are identical to many who posted here regarding optimal settings. crap
  3. Hey thank you. Just out of curiosity, (I see that you are using rift), what recomendations would you have to what I should assign the RZ axis on the throttle ? Its a really cool control that I used alot in elite dangerous. All the profiles Ive seen have this axis assigned to zoom (which I cant). I was thinking rudders since i dont have any and not a fan of the twist
  4. I just wanted to say I figured out the problem. Because Im using rift, the conventional zooms dont work. (I tested this without rift and it works fine). Something to do with fov which is fixed in vr. Found a vr zoom (ran across it on a search) so thats a good workaround for zooming .
  5. Heya thank you much for reply, yes thats the one! There is 2 diff.lua files. One for joystick and one for hotas. I think (like you said) I have to make modifier buttons. Let me try that and thanks again.
  6. Hello , Im having several issues. Just got hornet and wow! Using it with rift really looks incredible. Right now im just trying to set up controls. I got 2 lua files for joystick and hotas (t16000m) and I would like to use them. Im just not sure how. Its not intuitive. I moved the files to the fa18 folder in mods directory and was able to select the lua file in load profile but it does nothing. None of the controls show up (or work). I have steam version. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have. Also I started trying to manually add controls and for zoom in and zoom out, I would like to assign t16000m hotas joystick z axis. However when I press the z axis (either + or -) dcs does not detect it. It does detect when I press buttons.
  7. Hello, I have been a dcs customer since the first blackshark. I have purchased that on standalone (before steam) and also purchased a10 warthog. Ive had to recently replace a hdd and have lose these games which were purchased years ago when they came out. Is there any way to get them back? Also I have purchased p51d and mig 21 on steam (7 keys and 15 keys remaining for those two). Is there any way to have all my games in one place under steam (or outside of steam in standalone)? I am looking into purchasing f/a 18 but very worried I am not getting a permanent game and that like ive lost a10 and blackshark , Im not willing to pay 80 dollars for a temporary download dependent on hardware longevity , unless someone can let me know I am doing something wrong to try and get these games back.
  8. Hey.. If you have ever been into flight sims, past or present, DCS products will prove to be shockingly good.
  9. I love the p51. But in a dynamic ww2 setting. Not making waves here, just a little input :)
  10. cpu already overclocked heheh.. 4400mhz i7 2600k. not the best but not the worst.
  11. hey guys I got it to work. Thanks for all the help. Anyone notice a performance drop with helios on? Any tips on getting around this? Thank you.
  12. Chichi you have been a great help (plz dont apologize for my stupidity) and I thank you for your patient responses. I just didnt get a chance to reply because RL took over :( .. Also, going to watch that tutorial soon!
  13. Ive set up my monitors working properly. I made a very simple profile with 2 mfcds, and 2 mfd's i got out of the tool box. Ive added the a10c interface, and Profile editor gave me the message "your dcs a-10c configuration is up to date". What is it that i have to do to get the mfcd buttons to work in game? Ive been at this pretty much all day and feel like a blind rat. Manual only says to please help!
  14. What im trying to figure out is if i can load up the helios crap on the 5760x1200 display, which is unseperable because it is part of surround, and have a 4th monitor just so helios will run. I want to keep my 3 monitor setup pretty much the same, but WITH the button functions that helios can provide (like adding buttons to my mfcd's for example). EDIT.. OK ... it just clicked.. I cant use sli which is fine i think.
  15. If I install a fourth monitor does all the helios stuff have to be on that monitor? I love this thing where I can turn off the huds in the primary monitor, but Im not used to the missing buttons :/
  16. I ran into trouble already. I only have 3 monitors, and all are being used by nvidia surround. For example, I loaded up the LOZ SM V2.1 module (per your advice of downloading a module and seeing how it works), and Im following the instructions in the manual, and when I try and start the module in control center I get this message : "Can not display this profile because it has an invalid monitor configuration. Please open the editor and select reset monitors ..." Ok I do that, and it only shows one 5760x1200 monitor (which is the 3 monitors being run in sli surround), and the end result is I still can not start the program. Can you plz tell me what I have to do at this point ? (or is it not possible to use helios with my setup which is for all intents and purposes a single 5760x1200 monitor?
  17. +1 I couldnt find it on google either :/ Thanks m8 (see? I WAS missing something heheheh ) I also linked this thread on their forums, incase anyone is searching for a manual there 8-)
  18. I dont see any manual there. Just some copyright , system requirements and tips for Touch screen users. Ive been looking for 40 minutes ! lol
  19. Is this the entire "manual" ? Touch Screen Setup Windows 7 has great built in support for touch screens, but not all of the default options work well with Helios. It is highly recommended that you follow these instructions to property setup your touch screens for Helios. Note: Not all monitors are recognized as touch screens by Windows. If your touch screens do not respond to these settings, but still work to move your mouse around you need to follow the manufacturer’s directions for setting up and calibrating your touch screen.. In particular TouchKit based controls do not require these steps. Associate Touch Screen with Monitor Windows needs to understand which monitor is your touch screen. If your mouse moves on another screen when you click on your touch screen you need to execute this step. From the start menu select “Control Panel” then open the “Tablet PC Settings” control panel. Click on the Setup button and follow the instructions on screen. Take special note to press enter without tapping your touchscreen when the message is displayed on normal monitors. Disable Input Panel Tab Windows 7 has features to help you use your touch screen as a primary input device. Unfortunately these can get in the way and cause problems when using Helios to play a game. We can disable this input panel tab to prevent it from showing up when we don’t want it. While you have the “Table PC Settings” window open, click on the tab labeled “Other” and then click on “Go to Input Panel Settings”. Now uncheck the “Use the Input Panel tab” option and click the Ok button. Disable Auto Right Click By default Windows right clicks when you touch and hold on a touch screen. This is great for interacting with Windows explorer or other regular applications, but causes problems when you are trying to hold down a lamp test or MFD button. Luckily we can change this behavior as well. From the start menu select “Control Panel” then open the “Pen and Touch” control panel. On the Pen Options tab click on the Press and Hold pen action and then click on the “Settings” button. Uncheck “Enable press and hold for right-clicking” then click the OK button. Switch to the Flicks tab and uncheck the “Use flicks to perform common actions quickly and easily”. You can also uncheck “Display flicks icon in the notification area” if you want. Next, switch to the Touch tab. Click on the Press and hold touch action and then click on the “Settings” button. Uncheck “Enable press and hold for right-clicking” and then click the OK button. Now close the Pen and Touch control panel by clicking the OK button. I click on manual and i see System requirments .. ok File system layout.. ok Touch screen setup .. ok Where is the manual?
  20. OK guys thanks you. I have been gone for some time . I just installed the export file without MFCDS on .. AWESOME! More fps:) Now.... to figure out how to work helios...:cry: BTW , searcheverything is so damn helpfull when working with directories, searching for lua files etc. http://www.voidtools.com/ Probably the single most useful tool I have ever come across for w7.
  21. I was under the impression that helios had to do with touch screens. I downloaded it, and checking out the manual now. I think I can do "Here is all you need to know.." bit easily, but the helios is still confusing.
  22. Oh i already know how to do that. But I only know how to do it with mfcds. I tried moving over other stuff but they dont appear in game. I moved the MFCD's by editing the 2 mfcd lua file that already existed. I simply changed the size and location (moving each one over to their positions on their own monitors. Will helios work with dcs world ?
  23. ...on my screen? I have multiple monitors . I also have track IR but it acts a little funky when looking at the side panels some times. Especially ones in the back.
