Mr. Big.Biggs

My guess is it’s such a utterly ridiculous question they are still laughing! Its a friggen cartoon boat fellas!!!!

This plane it a treat! I stand corrected. No need for a speedo on the hud. The plane quite honestly tells you what it wants and needs. Just don’t piss her off by yankin her stick. She’ll throw you every time!!!

Was messing today with settings for my index. Has been crystal clear (within tolerances of course) both inside and outside, but running 45 fps pretty much solid both single and multi player. Only hitch was ghosting of planes that wiz by making it hard to vid even a model. Today I turned resolution in steam down to 75, refresh rate 90htz. In dcs turned pd down to 1.6 every other pertinent on high. Had slightly less clarity in cockpit but still very readable. A fps that fluctuated between 60 and 90 and absolutely zero ghosting of fast moving objects. Had an absolute blast in the just dogfight server! I was the chrome and lime green cat kicking ass! Give it a try. May work for you. Regards

Spent all day trying. Embarrassed to say I don’t know yet how to put wings in bomb mode. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Nothing better than watching two techno geeks fighting. Hit him with your flute!!!

Will give it a try. Will also try a different hat and report back. Didn’t know if maybe it was a known issue. Thanks

What are you using for screen? I was in nirvana Until Friday. Got a software update for my index and problems city again. Deleted fxo and shaders files per usual. Sheesh

So I have the yellow tdc cursor mapped to a push button hat on my virpil cm50 stick. In joystick test it reads just fine. When radar screen is clear (no traffic) i can wiz that baby all over the place. As soon as a target appears, ot gets balky and difficult to move over the target. Acts like the switch is failing but never happens on the joystick test or with clear scope. Any ideas?? Thanks

Always learning. Thats why I like this place. Cheers!

Yep I had a bogie 45 miles out hot on my nose and jester kept locking a target 60+ miles off my 2 o’clock flanking Right with a friendly in pursuit. Had no choice but to break off and ended up taking a missile up the ass. I got out, jester wasn’t so lucky. How do I explain to his digital family that his incompetence got him killed and not my desktop??

Perhaps but what exactly are you missing or noticing at 45 that you are not getting at 60fps? Smooth is smooth, are you sayin the picture is clearer at 60. Thanks

That was going to be my next observation. Throttle lag on the F18 is brutal. Real or not I have no Idea... Cheers!

Gotta be honest with ya. Im now at 45 fps. Butter smooth with no crashes or hiccups. 90mhz. Refresh, Most every setting at high that isn’t some form of duplication. I think at this point the only thing to be improved would be the resolution of the index. I am pretty sure at this point its there. I guess what I’m saying is our headsets are not 2k and once smooth and crash free just aren’t able to get any clearer. Maybe Im wrong.

I’m just talking about flat out gameplay. No theories, wants, wishes, egos or slight intended or inferred. Simple fact is I haven boltered 1 time in F14, period end of sentence. Trapped the F18 once.... Never touched dlc and irrelevant to my observation. Additionally, even though it is a government operation, I guarantee they didn’t create the case 1 landing to make it more difficult for pilots to land so an irrelevant egocentric argument. All good tho

Thinking out loud. Flying into a head will increase the speed of wind thus amount of lift under your wings but could potentially decrease your relative airspeed. The opposite is also true no? Strong tail wind along with fast relative movement of the plane decreases the amount of wind going under the wing decreasing lift?? Kind if like flying a kite. When you pull it upwind or hold the string, it stays put and climbs. However if the string breaks, the kite “flys” downwind but looses altitude and hits the ground. Not suggesting I have your answer, just trying to think thru it....

Thanks for the reply!

Only “clowns” I know were left out of the loop because they cannot keep their mouths shut!

I only enter multi player servers with pings less than 100 on the server listings board. My ping to whatever location the “ping test” connects to is 33ms. Today while pursuing an opponent they were rubber banding and zipping all over Gods creation. In the crosshairs, oops, on wing, nope over canopy now back to the crosshairs ect. How do I know if its me or the opponent that is lagging and trashing the scenario? If its me, I want to find a fix. Thanks

Correct, I’m 100% positive in real life the Reo bombards the Pilot constantly with stupid quips while not actually providing useful information.

That’s what I found. My system seems to run better steam 100. DCS IPD 1.6- 1.8 On a side note. I Have been running a mild OC on my GPU using MSI afterburner with excellent results. I watched a video today pointing out that Afterburner has an Auto “test and tune” that essentially tests and over clocks itself. The caveat is it optimizes everything but the memory OC. Ran the utility, manual added 500 to my memory clock and wowza!!! Solidly above 45 at 90hrz, and most pertinent dcs setting at med or high. Smooth, clear, no hiccups and very little ghosting of passing aircraft. Interestingly, I was quite happy beforehand with the F14 in caucuses and Persian gulf. But noticed when I ran Normandy today for first time, much doubling of objects On ground. (Double telephone poles ect). The above change cleared all that up and still solidly above 45 fps even in a busy multi player. Getting there!

“Would like to use in game asw 1-4? Can you explain the what, where and want of this statement? Still trying to familiarize myself with the bazillion adjustments. What will this accomplish? Thanks

Fwiw I wear my glasses in the index and the field of view is wider than the field of view of my lenses. In real life, at some point I have to turn my head to see clear at the periphery anyway so no biggie although I do have lens inserts on order. Although a relative rookie, I seem to have it pretty dialed in with outstanding cockpit clarity, no stuttering and only the slightest ghosting when a plane flys by opposite. That’s not to say its 4k photorealistic! Im happy but acknowledge their are others equally pleased with the other options they have chosen. I guess the question is can your Pc drive both the FOv and clarity? Good luck with your journey, it’s really fascinating!

Because its easier to land an F14 in Dcs than an F18 or because 7 months ago they said they were planning a tweak? Not sure I follow....

Thanks so much!!

Apologies if it’s already covered as I cannot seem to get diddly with the search function. I am only rendering the F18 Helmet mounted display in my right eye. Is this a known problem with a known solution? Thanks in advance!
