  1. AB-8B Nuisance bug, when pulling a high G turn the view jumps to where it's like my head is embedded in the canopy and zoomed in a very large extent. This is in VR with an Oculus 2. It clears up after 4-5 seconds.
  2. Thanks for all your helpful suggestions. As it turns out I did what I should have done first, which is run the repair utility. That ended up installing both maps for me. Thanks again!
  3. That's a good thought but I have just under 1TB free on my drive so that's not it. When you deleted yours did you also delete it through windows or just from module manager?
  4. They don't appear in that window nor do they appear in the list of available DLC to download when you first open the module manager. I deleted them through module manager then deleted the files in windows. First image shows homescreen with 8 items flagged as available for DL. Second image shows that only the aircraft can be DL'd. Third image shows what terrain is currently installed. null
  5. I had deleted two of my installed terrain packs, specifically South Atlantic and Normandy, and now that I want to reinstall the SA map it does not show up in the available list in the module manager. The icon showing the number of available DLC's is correct on the game home page, it shows 8, but only the 6 available planes show up when I open the module manager. Any thoughts on how to get the terrain DL'd again? I would have used windows snip ability to capture the screenshot but it doesn't work in DCS.
  6. Thank you very much toutenglisse! That works perfectly. Kind of fun playing around with code a bit which is something I haven't done in the last 10 years.
  7. Ships like the Tarawa carry long range 3D air search radars. Is there a way for them to give bogey calls, like an AWACS? I'm thinking of situations like an AV-8B off the Tarawa where there is not, realistically, an AWACS available but the ships radars should be able to give direction to a Harrier as to directions to intercept.
  8. After turning off mirrors, per others suggestions, the black flashes were completely eliminated for me. Even the overall fps bumped up a frame or two during low flying. I'm going to try some flights with adversaries and I'm hopeful that it will maintain playable levels of fps.
  9. No issues on my side over using screens. I only switched to VR because I kept failing at carrier landings with an F-18 and it helped!
  10. I'm assuming from your specs that you're not in VR which would make sense. When I play on just a flat screen my fps is pegged no matter where I fly.
  11. Yes I have this also when I am below 800ft AGL. It only has occurred on this map and happens irrespective of what the local terrain is. It was suggested to me to turn off mirrors to help this but I have not tried that yet. My system is pretty new and of reasonable specs (RTX3080, i7 11700, Quest 2 with cable, 32GB, SSD load.)
  12. Are listed assets like the Invincible flyable off of or are they just AI units?
  13. My performance below 800 feet was quite poor, down to low 20's fps, even out in the boonies with nary a building in sight. I even get blackouts where the view goes 20-80% black for a second or two. (It's suggested to turn off mirrors to eliminate this although I've never had this problem on other maps and I own them all) I love how the map looks but at low level it has worse performance for me than ever Marianas or Syria over towns. Specs are RTX3080, Quest 2 using cable, i7 11700, 32GB, SSD storage.
  14. I'll give that a shot. I find it curious though that I've flown literally every map that DCS has, at low level, and have never experienced this artifact before. I'm also surprised that it only occurs at low level. Question for those who are experiencing good performance; are you seeing this at low level, i.e. <800 feet? At anything above that my performance is rock solid also.
  15. So I made a quick run over the SA map. When in VR my FPS is capped at 36, not sure why and I'll play around to figure it out, but here's what I noted. (edit: The refresh rate is set at 72hz right now. I'll crank it to 120 tomorrow and see what happens.) System: I'm running an RTX-3080 graphics card with a Quest 2 headset connected with the Link cable with an i7 11700KF processor and 32GB of RAM loading the game off of an SSD. SA run was with an AV-8B. Flying above 800 feet or so I would always stay capped at 36fps. Dropping below 800 with ordnance loaded, specifically 4 MK82's and 2 sidewinder's, the FPS would drop to about 25. After ditching the ordnance the FPS stayed at 36 even down to sub 100 foot altitudes going over Goose Green. For a comparison I run the Marianas with an F-18, with whatever the default ordnance is for a quick flight, and stayed at 36 with occasional drops to maybe 31. Running the same flight on the Marianas without VR I stayed capped at 60FPS no matter what I did. The one big, huge, issue with the SA map is that I would get blackouts on the headset periodically where something between 20% to 90% of the visual field would go to black. I'm sure there's a term for this phenomena but I don't know what it is. I could live with the occasional FPS drop but the blackouts would be a killer. I'll try it again tomorrow after a fresh reboot of my system to see if it's repeatable.
