I thought it was already on performance but it wasn't, it helps with the extreme drops but it still is not up to the level of other modules. Is there anything know about what this option changes because I can't see a difference? I hope once Vulkan is implemented these perfomance problems will be less of an issue,

I know its an old thread but I also have very low fps in this cockpit compaired to other modules, even with the resolution set to 512. Is this a known issue or is there something I can do to fix it? When it just released it was the AG rader but its not the case now. Have not flow it for a while, my specs are: Ryzen 2700x, AMD RX5700XT and 32GB ram.

I have a similar problem with the GBU-12, they keep missing the target. I used them without a problem before but recently it misses every time. Codes are correct, droping at correct altitude and speed and use the trigger with 15 seconds to impact. Feels like something is not aligned because the bomb is reacts to the laser. Maybe it is something different but it sounds similar.

Thanks for the links I will have a look at it!

That’s definitely true and learning the planes and tactics is a large part of the fun! :book: But I think that some small quality of life improvements and a better in game training will help new players a lot when getting started, which should result in a larger player base and more sales of high fidelity modules. But I don’t want to be negative I’m really in love with DCS, I thought I would spend a few hours in Flaming Cliffs before I got bored of it, but it ended up taking all my free time and I don't even care. :D

Hi all! I wanted to share my opinions as a new player who started DCS without any serious experience with flight simulators or knowledge about planes to maybe point out some things that can make DCS more beginner friendly in the future. I played around 150 hours in 3 months and went all in with several modules, from the warbirds to modern day, I spend way to much money but I have no regrets! Years back I tried DCS with the free Su-25 and did not like it, everything was to sensitive and had a hard time understanding the training missions so I uninstalled the game. But when I got my Oculus Rift S I started looking for a flight sim again to fly in VR and I gave DCS another go and bought the Flaming Cliffs 3 module, and I was disappointed to find out there where no trainings missions for the F15. So I started watching the Grim Reapers on Youtube and after finishing the F15 tutorials I got hooked on DCS. After this I bought the Hornet/Persian Gulf map bundle and got more serious with it. But I think its really important to get the trainings mission right, as a new player I had no clue about what to do. I did not even know what the process of firing a missile was or how bombs are dropped form a plane, most of you guys where properly into planes before starting DCS so you knew a lot already. But seeing terms as IFF, CCIP, TACAN, IFF, RWS, STT is really intimidating in the beginning, and with the beginner plane having a Russian cockpit did not help either. I think this part is really crucial to get new players to keep playing, don’t only explain how to do it but explain what it does and how it works and maybe add (or replace) a plane with a English cockpit. I am now at a point where I can use (almost) all of the weapons on several planes and now I have my second “problem” with the sim and that is the lack of structured content. The Flaming Cliffs module has several campaigns and missions but most high fidelity planes have a simple campaign with a few missions on the free map, and is more of a create your own sandbox style game. Which makes it hard for me as a noob because I don’t know how missions are structured or how several mission types work, yes I can place a tank and drop bombs on it but that is not fun when you do it for the 100 times, I'm not asking for a Ace Combat style campaign but something to keep it fresh. I would also like some better filter options on the user files section to find the missions I want to play, for example filter A2A and A2G mission types and difficulty for example, this will be a relatively easy change to develop. And my last point is the performance, I know you are working on improving it but this is something what most game devs overlook. Adding new and better graphic options are great for marketing and trailers but 90% of the player base cant run the game at those settings. So increasing performance isn’t the sexiest update but more players will benefit from it I think. I don’t want to make this post longer than it already is so I will stop here, but I want to say that DCS is really impressive and the community is really friendly here! Especially when coming from the toxic community of several racing simulators. And I want to thank the Grim Reapers Youtube channel because without there video’s I still did not know what I was doing!

I noticed my GPU is jumping from 0 to 100 all the time sinds the update, before the update it was more stable. Maybe someone else already mentioned it but could have something to do with the performance loss.

Looks great, Amazing how much detail!

I started DCS during the last sale and the bought Hornet, F16 and later the JF-17 (I know that I spend way too much money :) ) But I fly the Hornet way more than the F16, it feels more complete and easier to learn and I like the cockpit layout more. I'm definitely not a expert but if I have to choose again I would go for the Hornet. And I find air to air refueling much easier in the Hornet, but the F16 is the best looking plane ever if you ask me :)

I bought the F16 and gave VR another try and it ran perfect in VR a steady frame rate with 1.4 pixel density and 2x MSAA, even on a busy airport. I also changed some settings in the Radeon software, turned off anti-lag, radeon, chill, freesync and enhanced sync. Freesync caused screen flickering when I was flying on my monitor so maybe that setting reduced performance in VR to. Just wanted to let you guys know what I've changed :)

Same without anti virus and on a other pc, gues its dead then. I was hoping for a magic fix, thanks for all your help!!

Both the reinstall and the sfc scannow did not work: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

I installed the trackir software and the USB driver that comes with it if that is what you mean? After doing that it wont show up in the device manager or devices and printers.

Hi, my trackir stopped working a while ago but now I started flying again so I wanted to fix it but I was wondering if someone has got a similar problem with the device. When the trackir is plugged in it nothing happends, it does not show up in the device manager and the leds are off. But the back of the device gets warm as normal. The last time my pc recognized it my antivirus warned me and after I clicked ok the device turned off and never worked since. I contacted support but it they could not fix it remotely and it was outside of the warrenty and was to expansive to get fixed. Has someone here had a simular problem? Or has a tip where to start? I reinstalled my pc and tried it at several pc's but without any luck, it feels like there is software removed from the device but I don't know if thats even possible.

So I'm not the only one struggling, maybe they will improbe vr performance in the future, back to my monitor then. on Thanks for the reply's :thumbup:

Sinds I bought Flaming Cliffs 3 I'm hooked at DCS and bought the FA 18 and Persian Gulf map but I struggle with VR performance, especially with the Hornet, I searched alot on the forums but I still have some questions :huh:. I Use a Oculus Rift S, AMD RX 5700 XT, 16 gb ram, and a Ryzen 2700x. My main question is how can I achieve a slightly higher FPS? On the forum I see a shader mod for example, (I cant get it to work in the newer version), but are there more "tricks" I should know? There are also alot of tips for settings on Nvidia cards but nothing for AMD cards, maybe there is a setting that kills my framerate? And my second question, is there a way to get anti aliasing in VR without the massive performance hit? Most of the tips I found on the internet is setting a specific AA setting in the Nvidia driver but there is no similar setting in the AMD drivers. I hope someone can help me with this, I just need it to be a bit more stable :helpsmilie:
