Bought this the other day and I'm loving it. Only just completed the second mission - wow. What an amazing piece of work. Nice one

I use a 4k Asus Predator, however for DCS, I use my Rift :-)

That's exactly the link - cheers SkateZilla :-)

OK, fixed my issue. I put a line in an autoexec.cfg file that sets affinity across 4 of my cores which stops the single core bottleneck. Apparently DCS will do this automatically for some machines, but for mine it was locked at a single core - the autoexec.cfg line has sorted this!! Happy days. I'm just glad I found a workable workaround that is hassle free :-D

Fantastic - never knew that! Cheers mate.

Apparently some are set to all cores and some are not. Just depends on the system I guess. Mine is set to only have core 0 checked. I have found a fix though, means adding a line to the autoexec.cfg file. I cannot find this file in my save games/DCS/Config folder - has this changed now?

Me neither - It's all set correctly in BIOS, all set up correctly in Windows so don't know why DCS does not run all cores off the bat. Maybe an X299 chipset issue with DCS?

Hmmmmmm. Thanks for the heads up on this. Must be a BIOS setting I missed or something. I'll look into this tonight. Cheers guys.

I had probs on my new rig - microstuttering and spiking frame rates. I have 32 gigs of RAM and couldn't figure out what the problem was. A mate of mine suggested I look at the performance bottlenecks. I opened up task manager and CPU, then looked at individual cores. My prob was not RAM or GC probs, but only one core being used to process DCS. That was causing the issue. Went back into task manager, details tab, right click on DCS exe and go to affinity and set all cores (only seems to work when in 3d world - not GUI). This spread the workload across all ten cores and now I have no bottlenecking and the whole sim is smooth as butter - in VR and in all scenarios (constant 45 fps in VR). So, question is, why no multiple core support? Why do I have to set affinity up in this way? Can DCS not do this automatically?

Hey Crowe - How are you!! Long time bud......... I solved my fluctuating fps by making all cores on my CPU available - it seemed my FPS was caused by a bottleneck when the CPU core was being maxed out - turning on all cores for DCS fixed it and now I get a constant butter smooth 45 fps in the rift :-) Credit to Jimmy 'Pathfinder' Olsen for the fix :-)

Ok a friend of mine fixed this issue for me. Pathfinder - you truly are the man and I thank you for this. So, start DCS in VR. Go to task manager, open all cores on the CPU part in performance.Now go to details and right click on DCS.exe. Now go to infinity and select all cores. OK out and back to DCS - a very constant and rock solid 45 fps. I have to do this every time I start or restart DCS. Surely this issue can be resolved by Eagle Dynamics. Cheers :-)

Mine's unplayable - almost at least. I get 45 fps then spikes down to 12 or 16 then back up to the late 30's and 40's then back down to 12 again - constant up and down of frame rates. I've tried everything to sort it but it just won't work. I have no idea what to do. My machine should kick this games ass....... but it doesn't. Specs: Asus ROG Rampage VI Extreme x299, i9 7900X (all 10 cores at 4.5GHz), 32 GB Corsair Dominator RAM, EVGA 1080ti Hybrid, Samsung 950 Pro 1TB, Samsung Evo 850 2TB.

My DCS crashes every time I try and exit.

Ah thanks Lemoen. I'll have a look at this later when I get back from work. I assume this problem will be fixed soon!!! Cheers :-) I actually turned off MSAA in game settings and turned it on in NVidia GC settings (application pointing to OB exe)

I'm getting really spiking FPS in 2.5 when using my rift. With 2.2 and 1.5 I was getting a constant 45 FPS not matter where I was in any map. With 2.5 my FPS is like a yoyo, dropping down to 19-20 ish then ramping back up to 90 and back down to 20 ish. This is causing problems with stuttering and the game play is very jerky. My systems specs should be able to handle this: Mobo: Rog Rampage VI Extreme Chip: i9 7900X, all cores at 4.5 GHz GC: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid RAM: Corsair Dominator 32Gb SSD: Samsung M2 950 something or other..... So why can I not get DCS to run smoothly? I've lowered some settings to try and accommodate these probs but I should be more than capable of running this sim almost maxed out.....

DCS has never looked for files in Saved Games before and copied them across into a new install, at least as far as I'm aware. I'd imagine it only updates the game files in the ED directory. I'd suggest manually copying over the stick profiles. And yes, save old files where necessary but naming them differently.

I got one ;-)

Seems to have sorted itself out now. Don't know what I did to fix it but whatever it was worked!

I know this isn't flying related but it could translate to problems in game (I've not tested it yet). I have an EVGA GTX 1080 ti FTW3 Hybrid card and I have a 32" 4k Acer Predator in one of the displayports. I have a sony TV at 1k that I want to plug in. This has to be plugged in by HDMI. I have one HDMI slot on the card which the oculus rift is using. So i bought a cable with DP on one end and HDMI on the other, that way I can have the HDMI monitor plugged into on of the DP's on the card and keep[ the rift always plugged into the HDMI on the card. I want to run my 4k monitor at 100% scaling for games. When I do this with both monitors plugged in my mouse is stuttering. If I change it to 150% (recommended) scaling then the stuttering goes away. When I unplug my 1k monitor, there is no stuttering at all in either 100% or 150% scaling. The issue seems to be scaling across 2 resolutions. Is there a fix for this? My other option is to run the 1k monitor off a second GC - I have an extra EVGA GTX 680 Classified that I can plug in and run the 1k from. I've already done this and there was no stuttering at all on the 4k monitor at both 100% and 150% scaling.

Oh it is bud ;-) Cost a bloody fortune lol

I have just bought an awesome system - overkill some might say but I was trying to future proof my purchase as much as poss. Got a 10 core 7900x at 4.5 GHz, a 1080 ti, 32 gigs of Ram and much much more. I'm able to get a constant 45 fps with most settings maxed out and it is an amazing experience. Some settings were throttled back a bit though to enable the smooth 45 fps constant.

UPDATE This was actually not a DCS issue. A reinstall of TS fixed this for me. Cheers.

I all versions of DCS, my sound stops in the rift after about 5 to 10 mins of getting in the jet. All instances so far have happened in the A10C both in DCS 1.5 and DCS 2.0 I have a default headset (Corsair Void RGB, wireless) I use (set to default in windows) and I use Oculus traytools with the audio switcher set for the rift to override these defaults as soon as the Rift software starts. This works great, and I can see this actually happen when I have the playback devices window open. However, after about 5 - 10 mins, all sound stops in the rift. It may not be a DCS bug as it also freezes all sound from teamspeak, but it only happens when DCS is running.

This was the prob. I had my scaling set to 150% on the 4k monitor. Set in to 100% and all is working as expected. Thank you so much Bearfoot :-)

I've just got a new gaming PC with the Rift and am trying to set it up properly. One issue I'm noticing is that the mouse pointer has an odd look to it. Doesn't matter where abouts in DCS it is, the mouse looks the same. UI, game, ME - just like the pic below: I'm wondering if this is a resolution issue. I have a 4k gaming monitor to run the PC and native resolution is set to 3840x2160. I have tried changing this but it makes no difference. I have other issues such as screen tearing and low fps but I'll figure those out once I get the mouse figured out as I think they are all related issues.
