You can add the ground effect being reversed to the list, don't hug the ground at 600IAS!

Is there any new news when the REVERSED GROUND EFFECT will be fixed in the Hornet, Flew it only two times since the F-14 was released and immediately crash both times on a low pass and think this is beyond bizarre that your fixing and tweaking the Hornet for so long but never fixed the actual flight dynamic problem. Am I missing something?

FORCE UPDATE, NOT REFRESH go to command line and to the DCS folder, then Bin, run DCS_updater.exe update and get the update immediately, hope this helps

5GB and thought I was going to watch the download for hours, Looks more like 5min! WOW 7-8 MB/s download! SERVER UPGRADED GUYS???? Wow, super happy!

You should make sure your Nvidia card is set to Maximum Performance in the Nvidia control panel Ultimate Performance for windows 10 Make sure game mode is turned off Look into turning off your Security software firewall, Known issue with performance if you have a 4k monitor, turning your monitor off will help gpu Taking your sound off the 1080 and using the sound off your mainboard will help your 1080, sound is no different or better on either device. Turn off your Virtual memory, you have 32gig All these things should make a small to big difference

Looks like too much throttle on the CPU. Fix is how you look at it. 1. Open Task manager and use performance tab to see what your cpu and gpu is doing. 2. Lower all setting to minimum, Graphics, Distance, everything. Run the sim and note the CPU and GPU. 3. Turn up the Graphics textures and fly with only that improved and take note of the CPU/GPU. Add things Like heat blur and trees and take note of the CPU/GPU. Only you can find the tick, I think that your CPU has too many things going on and if you look at the performance of it right now, it will not be at 100% usage or close to it. The best way to configure a game is to start with lowest settings, My fix was the VR Shaders, AMAZING...... But your issue is your just pushing your equipment a little too hard. VR Shaders will fix or Ease up a bit on the graphics ;)

If you go to task manager, click on metered network and see what is app is using the internet, sort by usage by clicking ....ahh god, you know! Good Catch Sir!

Check, Thanks for the Clarification. Does the issue persist?

The CPU temp you were not clear, Water cooled does not mean anything, if you have a CPU Lid issue that is more common than most people think, any cooler will not do, If you checked the Temp than you are golden, but it was not clear as it sounded like you were saying that because of the water cooler you were sure that it was not the temp. Not clear enough for me rule that out for me yet, can you clarify or verify when you have a chance. Sorry but you do not know my expertise and I do not know yours. In our business, we need to be 100%. If you did check the temp, I am sorry I rambled.... I do that

That is why I said put in a test drive, DO NOT RELOAD YOUR HDD until you verify it needs to be done. That will give you the most important answer....hardware or software. Right now neither of us knows. If it is working Perfect on an old hard drive you reload as a test, watch how fast you will reload. If it is not, You do not want to put in the work, simply plug your original drive back in. But I feel that will be the fix, it is usually going to be the worst case with us right? We both know the deal, Verify verify verify.... we will find it.....er....You will find it, but I do make a good cheering section.

I have almost the same setup, I7-4790K 32gig ram GTX 1080 and the Oculus but not the s. I do not think it is DCS unless you have an addon module failing. I think in the end windows reload will do it. I have been a Hardware PC repair since around 1987 so at least we can make a lot of fun of each other while you fix. I would love updates and to hear the solution found. There is a problem, one of the things above is causing it. I want to know what but I am sure not as much as you do! Had issues with my setup and it was software.....does not surprise me (JOKING!!!). Hope I can help, two brains are always better than one. I have fixed 4 PC with ongoing issues, Everyone has come to me as a last resort. I always love a challenge and will try my best. Good Luck Sir, Standing by EDIT, a pc was Lid warp on the processor and I decided and fixed, One was GPU after 2 min of no mouse movement GPU was going to 100 percent... Bitcoin miner and fixed with reloading as it was to new for any fix to work One was video editing software One was Video driver update One was Geforce Experience, but that issue has been fixed by Nvidia, removed all driver at the time and did a fresh install of drivers only (cannot be your issue as it is fixed) Windows had something installed that was sending a bunch of info over the internet, did not even care what it was as I thought it was a trojan of some kind

Sounds like Malware or a bitcoin miner is installed. Sure sounds like you sir are in good need of a Reload, or your processor transfer compound is failing. 1. Check your CPU temp, Get the Free version of Hardware monitor of the CPU-Z website. It will show the Max temp reached as well as current. if 100 degrees Celsius at max you CPU is throttling and will cause issues. 2. While running, make sure task manager is open with the CPU and GPU usage, on the hiccup pull the VR off an look to see what spiked, CPU spike in utilization or GPU. 3. if CPU go into all the apps set in startup and disable all on startup to see if an app is running into the background. Another easier way is to pull up the Resource Monitor and click on CPU to show the high CPU usage up top, Under DCS app you should see the App using your resources for a split second or two just under the DCS app. 4. If undetermined the only way to fix is to check (if the temp is OK on the CPU) Throw in a spare HDD and reload that and verify it is the software that way. 1TB SSD HHD are now under $100 dollars so it is not that bad anymore. Traditional HDDs will be fine for this test. That will give you 100% the answer If you do the reload just reload windows, Video Drivers, Oculus and DCS (DON'T download any of the aircraft you purchased as you do not want to use up licences until verified) This is just to see what is causing an issue. On final reload on your main drive, write EVERYTHING down you install and Date and time you if it is a piece of software you are using causing it, you will have a much easier time finding out what. And do not install all apps on reload, one at a time as you need them so if an issue arose you will know what the possibilities are. The answers are all right in front of you, be methodical and you will find your answer soon.

I'm using Oculus, and I am very happy this great!

I do not see Frame Rate increase, but when I follow the scenery is soooo smooth! it makes a huge difference to me as the scenery will have a tick every now and then, not after doing this. Wait until you have a load and click it, Hope you are as surprised and Happy like I am

Don't be sorry, got me too!

are your wings out?

I never took anything you said as an insult, you gave me great info and appreciate you taking the time. You are working with what little info I gave you and all of your info lead me in a direction to finding the issue. You were a great help! I did not delid it YET, coming soon as I am happy that it is not going to get damaged but want it running right and cool. I agree 100% and think even if I was not planning to delid, a better cooler is logical. Why chance a $500 CPU because of a cheap ass heat sync. I agree that this is a must, not right now but it has to be soon and can not be put off long. You did far from insult me, you HELPED me a ton, Thank You for taking time when you had no reason to.

I understand very well what is happening, I understand what is dangerous and not... let me first explain what happened. 1. the issue is not a cpu cooler, The CPU "LID" is no longer conducting the way it should. (for this they use liquid metal for the best heat transfer possible if the heat does not leave the processor any heat sync is useless) it is not a cooling problem. It is a heat transfer to the Lid problem. 2. Stress test. You need to know what processor and tests the stress test run, it is real easy to overheat a processor if you try, Core Duo's had issues with floating point and if you ran a typical stress test in those days you had a good chance of burning up the CPU till the thermal limit was reached. 3. MY CPU NOW, I had temps that I did not like, 85 degrees is ok for a processor, it is not normal and not dangerous as you can run it for years without failure, it is not within the specs of Intel but that is just recommendations. I do not want my processor to go past 75 degrees at any time unless being stress tested. To achive this I needed to turn off the Turbo that will let the processor spike above the 4GHz limit and was getting it up to 96 degrees with video rendering but only 79 with all other intensive apps. After the Turbo was turned off, pc is 98 degrees with the stress test and 67 maximum with DCS and other intensive apps. The PC was hitting 100 degrees every day for months and I did not realize I was being thermal throttled and the processor is verified undamaged. I cooled it considerably but it is warmer than I want it still. I do not have the money right now to fix but the fix is, Remove Lid (special tool to do it with very little risk of damage. Remove Liquid metal from CPU and bottom of the lid apply liquid Metal (different method than CPU Grease) The Stock CPU cooler is fine, if not Intel would have a huge RMA issue, it is not made for overclocking and everyone knows that it is not adequate for that. My processor is much faster now it is not hitting the thermal ceiling and I will fix but as long as I am not harming the CPU and the pc is now much faster and working well, I can leave it the way it is and be very happy. End-user this would be a processor replacement and no tech is going to do this and be liable for the CPU. In other words, Every tech would say to anyone, the CPU is bad and needs to be changed. But this is not the case, it is fine and just needs TLC. If I needed the liquid metal and the pc was running hot, I would not be running it at all like the 2 days I was waiting for the thermal grease, Thermal Paste, Heat transfer compound, Thermal compound, every tech has a different name. I went as far as to turn off the turbo because it was slightly higher than I liked it but know it was still safe for everything besides video rendering that does not use the GPU but more CPU intensive. I do not have the money right now for $25 Liquid metal and $30 for the CPU De-Lidder. If I was the least bit concerned I would not have power in the pc right now. Like many other things in computers, there are many things that people think that are just wrong....Like Don't use a magnetic screwdriver to install a hard drive has to be my favorite statement that is BS. Temps to fail a CPU should be at 180 to 200 degrees Celcius unless it is poorly designed. Only wildcards should fail before. (I had better explain my screwdriver gripe before there is somebody calling BS. I had a Client tell me that he needed his drive wiped out. told him that I would format and fill it up with BS and then format it again and it will be clean but that was not good for him and I took an electromagnet and picked up the hard drive with the magnet for 10 sec holding the HDD in the air with just magnetism. Drive booted after!!!! I was stunned, then I wire-tied the trigger for the Magnet and hung it on a hook, drive slapped against it and I went to lunch for an hour, one hour later the drive still stuck in mid-air to the magnet and I put it down, unplugged it, reinstalled the drive AND IT BOOTED!!!! WTF?!?!? I was told not to use a weak magnetic screwdriver and an electromagnet could not kill this thing after an hour??? If I did not personally do it and someone told me that this happened I would call BS but I will always learn new things. Still blows my mind today. Sorry so run on but you have been soo nice to help me thru this..... It is truly a pleasure sir and if there is ever anything I can do, or if you come out to Long Island at all, I am an aviation photographer in the area and would like to say thanks in person over a great day.

The Thermal system in the I7 is set up to throttle the processor to a lower MHZ if the temp hits 100 degrees. I was at 80 degrees at idle!!! should be under 50 and 80 is HOT for full speed. After compound, hit 100 during processor stress tests, re-applied Hit 100 again, re-applied now at 97 after 20 minutes at CPU 100% Not happy but do not have the money right now, and if it is not going to blow I am ok with using it. DCS uses very little processor compared, temp started at 44 degrees and went up to 82max in DCS, I am ok with that, but may need to throttle the CPU when video rendering. 1. going to wait for the compound to settle, day or two watching the temps and not getting it hot 2. stress test again and see where the temps are at 3. check video editing, if it goes past 95 at any point I HAVE to buy a new heat sync, the transfer is the issue, not cooling. Thanks again Headwarp for all the help!

Thanks again for taking the time, Here is an update on the issue! I could not reply because when I started from scratch checking the PC I found that just running DCS took ALL FOUR CORES to 100C!!!!! Did not turn back on for 2 days until I got a thermal paste. Now it goes to 80C when flying DCS and it is BUTTER smooth!!!!!! I last checked my CPU temps about 1 year ago and now I can not cool it down. I can not run a CPU benchmark or the CPU hits 100c on the first core in 3 seconds. I hope it is not damaged but as of now I can not compile any videos or do anything processor intensive without having the Temps up. I have the stock Intel CPU cooler and am looking into a better option but at least I know what is going on, thermal throttling of the CPU. UGH, Thanks for the help guys and I am sorry as I should have looked at the overall system and not DCS. Benchmarks do not show the throttling unless I can see the speed of the processor, 100% processing power does not change when the clock changes so I did not notice the first 50 times. Sorry I wasted all of your time

Thank you all for putting in so much effort...... I am now up to 40FPS but had very bad shaking like I had the jitters when moving head... seems I got it all resolved so it is usable. I will troubleshoot more when I have some time but let me answer those who were kind enough to take the time for me. I really appreciate you guys helping me like this, Thank You soooo much Headwarp - speed slow on all aircraft, L-39, F/A-18, TF-51 but I do not fly Russian fighters yet so can't talk about those. I am running Open Beta and Installed the non-Beta and the same issue, so it is not DCS, mod ruled out This is the first computer that I did not build since 1985 but my son made it for me, great PC, Windows 10 and verified all drivers and used some older drivers for 1080 Founders edition.... Windows update is almost up to date but I cannot download the new update, see news about Microsoft, Not something you want to do right now. the software is taken care of, I have been in IT my entire life so I do have some knowledge, but you guys have always given the best info as YOUR post shows!! THANKS AGAIN! I removed driver previously and installed just the driver, also tried the clean install after removal, was not going to play with shadowplay due to all the posts about issues with DCS and VR but think that was in the past, still....with issues I am not going to take a chance. The pictures on the desktop were not idle, I was flying in VR and used my phone to take the picture, no pause or changes as I needed a few minutes of flying to show results. I have MSI afterburner and it does not help me as much as most. Pushing the clock and power give me a small increase, in testing rendering, went from windowed 500fps to 590fps and only translated to around 2 fps gain in DCS ASW, you nailed my thoughts on your post about not being there yet! BitMaster, SOLID info as well.... did it with the nonbeta install and same result, no mods, no skins, nothing, and fresh install. David OC | Great question, I am using 1.2, keeping it light OK, here are some of the things that helped..... for some reason, my DCS monitor was set to 4K (have a 4K monitor) but for Oculus, KILLING the sim! BIG FIX, Oculus tray tool had supersampling to 1 and changed to 0 and got rid of the "SHAKES" and gave me 10FPS more and became Silky Smooth at 40FPS That is where I am now, checked BIOS settings for Ram, CPU and all looked good, enabled Max Performance in Windows 10 power scheme (CAN NOT BELIEVE IT MADE SUCH A DIFFERENCE IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE IT YET, DO IT!) Those were the main bumps in speed, now jumping between 30FPS and 45FPS depending on the scenery, L-39 at Nellis before dusk with 50%clouds 4 dynamic aircraft taking off. VERY HAPPY it is so much better, not perfect but USABLE thanks to you guys. New User Never felt so welcome, Thank You so much as you gave me a lot to think about and helped a bunch even tho it may not seem like it. You guys got me going in the right direction. Remember, always Break Ground and fly into the wind, NOT Break Wind and fly into the ground!!! Pilot Rule - 422

Thank You all soo much for taking your time to help me!!! You guys rock! Svsmokey, I have seen the video and previously enabled all even cores, double checked this is still unchanged. Like your thinking.... I also left everything at default except the change to max performance that needed to be changed and had done so previously. Headwarp, Oculus Rift, Here is the individual cores (was flying P-51 in Nevada while taking the picture so it is not paused in this image....I also understand that Nevada is a HUNGRY map for the Sim but wanted to show that nothing is pegged still) BitMaster, if nothing is pinned I should have better fps or a bigger load on the processors, or at least that is how I feel about the info I am given... I am missing something and I can not figure it out.

Did a Repair and same issue, 22FPS with sliders where it is not painful

Thank You for the Reply Svsmokey, Safe Mode remove 1080 Drivers and did a clean install with just the driver, same result Delete fxo and metashaders folders and got me 8fps, that is where I am at now and I did it previous to running above numbers. Only mod is Civil Airliners Did not do a Repair to dcs yet and will try now, thanks

I have a i7-4790k at 4.00GHz 32Gig Ram 1080 Founders Edition 1TB SSD 30 FPS with EVERYTHING in settings turned off or to minimum settings Any Ideas why the GPU goes from 100% to around 50% when the Oculus is put on? Tried Drivers, edited Nvidia Settings for maximum performance, and Lots of internet reasearch and getting nothing. Does anyone have an idea?
