+1 One thing I want to add is the blast of having toe brakes. Never thought those would make such a difference but wow, the do (after getting used to them).

I choose answer C, which is: Do whatever is necessary to keep up DCS World.

Not a single crash with the F-4E here, but I've only used it with Caucasus and NTTR, so far (i.e. since release day)

Forgetting about some details of a module after a while is not only a disadvantage. e.g. I came back to the A-10C more than three times, and I always had to learn some procedures, systems and methods again. But every time it was worth it and the Hog felt even better and better, so I'm looking forward to coming back to my favourite modules after having had enough fun with the newer ones.

can confirm: without disconnecting, the AAR gets the Phantom's tanks (incl. external bags) filled up to the max before the tanker calls "transfer complete" (7 minutes of sweat )

this happened to me indeed. I disconnected once, closed the AAR door, opened it again, reconnected to the boom and very shortly after that, the tanker called "transfer complete" at 10.7k pounds. Thanks for clarification and the effort you put into this to get it fixed.

Yeah, I got a "transfer complete " at 10.7k pounds internal.

had the same two days ago and can confirm what Flappie said:

lol, really funny. but what ever helps... thank you and @Mr_sukebe for your help!

same here. Maybe I misused the "Jester Context Action" key before I tried to get an A2G lock, but I saw it once (in the backseat), that Jester's video source was off, and not "Radar". I switched it to Radar manually, and everything worked fine.

now it's getting interesting.... coincidently, yesterday I had to exclude a F-4E file from my antivirus software to be able to run DCS. So I tested with AV off afterwards, and that reduced the spikes, but they were still there (with Foldable view unticked). Now I just tested your suggestion @Flappie and the spikes are all gone completely when I press that icon (which is selectable in Foldable view). I know that this icon displays all keybindings. So it should show exactly as many as unticking "Foldable view" does, but the difference is like day and night. How did you know Flappie? Are there any insights you can give us about the differences between those two methods of showing all keybindings?

Will try tomorrow. Thanks for taking a look at this.

that's really helpful! The massive spikes are gone as soon as I enable that tickbox! (And they are back when I disable it. So enabling the foldable views is a perfect workaround for me.) thanks a lot! So it seems too many keybindings shown at the same time are causing problems on my system.

thanks @Rudel_chw you are right. never had a problem with a DCS file in 8 years. But today Avira moved some of them into quarantine. After restoring and excluding them from AV software check, everything works as expected again. thanks!

hi, somebody else experiencing this? Have lots of modules. All of them are working fine. Since this afternoon my F-4E has stopped working. Any ideas? (Tried antivirus software -> off, PC restart)

thanks again. I only have Stick, Thottle, Rudder, Mouse and a keyboard/Buttonbox on USB. Here is the CPU state when it happens. My CPU does not seem to be overwhelmed by DCS in general, but when those spikes occur I see the first two cores have very short spikes too. In DCS the frametime spikes are very odd (only in the control settings menu):

Thanks. Will check that tomorrow and post what I'll find out. Can you imagine a reason why that menu maxes those CPU cores? And what can be done about it?

We have 2024 and I have this issue with DCS for some months now, getting worse it seems. As soon as I return to game, everything works fine and smooth. Only the control settings menu goes crazy while flying in VR. Has anyone here found a solution for this issue?

A first impression I will never forget. Awesome simulation of an awesome plane. Thanks HB for making a 35 year old dream come true. It feels so good.

Well HB seems to be sure the F-4 launches tomorrow:

no edit: planed for tomorrow

that was Viper

Thanks for the clarification. My brain was washed by Top Gun (1), so I was not able to think of another Jester that is not Michael Ironside. - see my forum name?
