Just wanted to say thanks to team ED for delivering one of the best updates of the year with the introduction of DLAA/DLSS etc. I flew in VR online last night, something I rarely do in multiplayer due to the frame rate issues, and when i do i normally downtune the graphics and everything else to make it playable without stutters and freezes. Last night I forgot to do this adjustment, and it didnt care. The DLAA settings allowed smooth gameplay whilst maintaining visual fidelity, something I had to chose between before. Now it appears I don't! The new shadows are just superb, give a real depth to the environment which wasn't there before, and at times it was that good I could have said it was real. Some croppped VR screenshots. By far not the best visual quality you'll see, but for my 2080S to cope with a G2 at this grx setttings I am happy. Still going to get a 4080Ti though

Someone asked for Lynx FRCs, this is the response that they got... https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/585514/response/1422291/attach/4/LYNX AH MK 9A Doc 2.pdf?cookie_passthrough=1 so yeah even if they did have the time, it would have probably looked like that. I would just like the additional SW rails from the outriggers to make it at least look more GR7.9 externally for screenshots. I couldn't care about the system differences, it does everything I need it to.

When I'm in 2D it states GPU bound, so it does have some purpose. I know I'm only on a 2080S 8GB card, but I would have expected at a tiny improvement from my previous CPU, considering I've also bumped up from some medicore 32GB DD4-3600, to 64GBs of DDR5-6000

I'm still having issues trying to get any increase in VR performance compared to my 6700k with my new 7800X3D, both are achieving only 21FPS with the G2 headset. In 2D the difference is chalk and cheese, from 40-45fps to 80-90fps, I've tried both OpenXR which I was on before as well as going back to SteamVR. Both are showing CPU rendering thread limits using the DCS FPS counter.

I went from an unstable 45fps to relatively steady 80fps in 2D, but I was getting 20fps before and after the upgrade in VR. I'm on a MSI 2080S 6GB card, so if anything I'm GPU limited, but the DCS FPS counter is showing CPU bound (Render Process). I'm using OpenXR with my HP Reverb G2 (V1 cable) no issues with power supply or anything. And in Xplane12 (poor VR track record) I went from 8fps with my old setup with bare minimum graphics settings, to 45fps last night with half-decent settings, so I know it's not my headset/PC conflicting. Terrain textures low, shadows off, MSAA, SSAA, AO etc all down to the lowest/off settings - the stuff I know chews up VR headsets for breakfast and it's still not any better.

I just built my 7800X3D on a X670E with 2x32GB-6000 CL30 yesterday. Upgrading from a 8year old 6700k with 32GB RAM, it's night and day flying in 2D. In VR, however, its a different story. 20FPS and it's showing CPU bound the entire time in the MT instance. I hope this is resolved soon.

Hi, also noticed this on the British AAC 663Sqn default livery from ED. Hope this is fixed, or at least someone can provide guidance on how to resolve.

you must've tagged me by accident in the OP - I got a notification and was like 'eh?!' I don't have the Tomcat, wish I did, but I don't have the time to learn it

Yet we get a non-existent trim reset? Surely it just takes a quick remodel of the existing 230gal tank and edit the parameters to only accept 120gal and add it to the loadout options.

The current "torpedo" tanks are huge and unwieldy, and the 230gal capacity is a little too much for knife fighting in in most of the DCS user-base situations (one would hazard a guess at). Plus the look a bit better than having a canoe strapped to the outside.

Looks epic, looking forward to it

was this released?

Any changes to the above with the new 5.2 driver? Has it made any difference to the performance/accuracy of the virtual hands? I go the LEAP controller for Christmas but haven't had a chance yet to test it out yet, (Family staying with me at the moment) but keen to try it out.

one is wire-guided missiles only with IR, one is fixed forward firing cannon/rockets no-IR, one is A2A missiles no-IR, one has a 3rd seat for a minigunner out the side with no camera at all. All have the same kit just moved about the place with difference capabilities/weights

I'm not at home to try at the moment, but just thinking that I can't even see the aircraft model that sits in the hangar (SU-27) or the menu screen when looking around. It's completely empty! Will report back when I get home again.
