@BIGNEWY can you please pin this one? Thx.

Setting the burst altitude hasn't been working for a long time, if ever did. Here is the thread from 3 yrs ago.

It's an awesome pack for beginners. But as soon as you decide to try any FF aircraft, then its hard to go back to FC3.

Sorry to ask, but what does "fixed open height" mean? From wiki:

Did you maybe used any stats app, like Riva Tuner (part of MSI Afterburner app), to actually see the fps? If you didn't, can you do it again? Would be cool to see the actual different in fps between these 2 CPUs.

Hi there, would you also consider doing such mission on some other maps, maybe Gulf or Syria?

Recently I have upgraded GPU to MSI 4090, but I'm still with 3 years old CPU i7 10700K. And as far as I have flown (and driven sim racing), it is still good enough for DCS, with no VR and with VR (Quest Pro). With i5 13600K I would maybe get 15-20% gain, which is almost negligible. Maybe with 13700K and 13900K I would get up to 30% gain, but based on the investement, NO thank you. I would say its worth waiting for the 14th gen of Intel CPUs. PS: I also overclocked 10700K to 4.9GHz few days ago, and there is 5% gain over default settings.

They 1st have to put out of EA Block 50, and polish it, looots of things are still missing or are not working properly. Come back in 10yrs

Does Snowplow button (function) work now? I don't think it does well, at least while on the ground.

The problem of DCS (and most of the game out there), is that the load is still not spread out evenly. So 1 or 2 cores are overloaded, while the rest is almost idling. There is still a lo of work to do regarding MT, to make use of it in full potential. So, despite 7800X3D (or 7950X3D) are overall gaming kings, in DCS and specially in VR, the best option is 13900K atm.

Another interesting video, comparing 7800X3D and 5800X3D. Is it really worth spanding that money for a newer CPU?

7800X3d is better then 13900K in almost all games, specially in flight sims. Up to now, I was buying Intel CPUs for 25 years (since AMD 300, overclocked to 450). But now, I am not so much convinced any more into Intel. Latest AMD generation did a major step forward, and I'm starting thinking going back to AMD. 7800X3D is so tempting.... But maybe as of now, the Intel's CPUs still have a slight advantage in DCS, specially in VR.

Is it possible to change these params in the file and changes actually take place without restarting the game? Didn't try that, that's why I'm asking.

ENGLISH only here! Thanks.

Not so much speed, but in your case, the amout of it. 32GB should be minimum, but I would recommend 64GB (2x32GB DD4, CL16). And also make sure you create the pagefile on your the fastest disc. I still have it set of 32GB. About sticks, I would recommend only 2 the same ones in slots 2 and 4.

Taxiing to the runway.... damn... 15-20fps LOL And also 20fps during in the air: Clearly CPU bottleneck! That's also DCS issue. while Multi treading is not yet optimized!

This is how it looks from VR, when standing still, have to fly, will do it later.

Why? I know here is some theory explained, but is this really the case? @Hippo did you also do it?

Did you buy 13600K? I am also considering it, and I bought 4090. I think the upgrade is surely worth it, if having the best GPU out there.

In my understanding so far, when fps drops from 72 to 36, it's because of CPU, not GPU. And this is also not the problem of the CPU it self, but ED, which (still) puts too much work (load) on one single thread (core at the end).

Peddles on the TWCS throttle

1st of all, thx, I turned sigs on. 2nd of all, you dip into 30s? That low? Damn... I didn't expect that. So there is something wrong with DCS optimization of cores usage. ED still has a lot of work to do regarding Multi Threading. I doubt I am much worse with my CPU in VR, will try it tomorrow, and let you know. ps: please install MSI AB app, its good for optimizing your GPU by using Undervoltage, and seeing specs on display (not in VR, but you can see them on monitor while flying). I am really interested the power consumption of your GPU. There is nothing about power consumption in that file you provided.

Multiplayer is not a problem, its not your CPU doing all the processing (unless you are the host). I fly mainly online, daily on PvP G.S. server for example, with 64players, or some 4YA servers with heavy missions with no problem what so ever. Yes, please, check some offline mission now when u have an overall monster, how's the system holding up running some heavy stuff.

I have Pro. So far, I don't find CPU is limited in VR, it seems it's only struggling in heavy missions, which has nothing to do with VR.

One more question, how much work is there with these "water" type of coolers? Do you have to open, clean and replace the coolant? If so, how often?
