Finally, after setting my buttons about 800 times with modifiers, switches, xbox controllers I finally came across this post and have now actually got something that works.. For anyone struggling the binds referred to are called Set Hand Controller Swap, and Toggle Hand Controller swap. They are not alphabetical so don't come up adjacent to each other, they are also in the HOTAS category. but do not appear in either of the hand controller menus. Sometimes you just gotta love the way DCS does stuff... It might be in the manual but I can never remember the really long pathway into the core files for the manual.... so yeah...RTFM... There are one or two YT videos showing modifiers which I can honestly say I tried many, many combinations and they just don't work. Seem very buggy and conflicting unless you hold a button down.

How do you run the MT client without openxr? I would like to try the oculus runtime.

I've tried this and for some reason only the aircraft are supported in saved games. Terrains are not. Syria hadn't ever supported this at all so even if you added the folder it didn't work. Finally they have caught up!

Yeah, an entirely new engine in full release would surely qualify for a major version number change. I think the world map will be linked to vulkan, would make sense that this comes at a similar time.

I have to agree with this, usually disappointed with perf and appearance of the "big civ sim", among other things. I think DCS is looking and running great, not perfect but the hard work is clear and progressing well. I do expect there will be a DCS 3.0 at some time, and I expect it will be awesome. Think of the things we do know about in one package... completed multithreading, completed vulkan, world map. Include some new ATC, maybe a few new GUI options, enhanced weather (just wind needed really). What a sim this would be...

Thanks for the information. I am not really experiencing perf issues like that. I am sure its DCS engine based, system is running so well, but just that final bit of fluidity needed for smooth VR in MT client only. The ST client is the smoothest I have ever had DCS, and at the highest settings. Its actually quite crazy. You are right I am not experienced with RAM tuning and would prefer to settle with what I have and move on if there isn't much to gain. I have little time and many other projects/rabbits holes. That being said if there were gains to have I probably would spend the time learning what I need the some of process which is what I did a few years ago when overclocking my i9. However I'm not into benching etc so once I was happy and it was stable I moved on and haven't gone back since. Having said all of the above it does appear like we might be soon getting a new AGESA, which will allow much higher memory settings... possibly 7200 C32 even. Wait and see, might be worth diving into after all. I guess it will be down to what my CPU can handle.

My 7800X3D system is now just over two months old and running quite nicely. It has now been partnered with a 4090 and I am enjoying some serious DCS VR power. However using the MT version I still can't quite get everything to run 100% smooth, often some very minor terrain stutters which I think must be engine related. I say that as this CPU/GPU can really take some settings punishment! It laughs in the face of shadows and visibility range. I am very impressed. A question for anyone that knows DDR5 tuning. I applied buildzoid's secondary timings to my Kingston 64Gb 6000 C36 kit and this has worked well. Totally stable and a definite improvement across the entire system. However, from what I read about Hynix DDR5 I feel like I should be able to get this to c30, but thinking it can't be as easy as just changing the first timing to c30. The voltages are now part of the buildzoid profile so not sure what else I would need to do. The second and third values of the primary timings are also unchanged (38-38) so maybe these need tweaking too. Anyone know of good guides for this?

Its the oldest textures in DCS, even Caucasus has had an official update. There must be something planned as this map can look quite bad now... and as its small a super high res version could be a bit more achievable. I have seen the mesh on the mountains in Sinai.. want that everywhere!

Confirmed - it works.

The general assumption that we would all want more low fidelity aircraft on over less high fidelity is just his opinion presented as fact. I couldn't disagree more with this. He makes a great CW server but the consistent videos about DCS "gaps" and "playability" is rediculous. It's clear he doesn't have any clue about friendly co-op play or even.... Single player... These are popular, probably more popular. In fact it seems that flying airliners and GA aircraft is even more popular. Each to thier own, stop trying to split the community up.

I have seen this too.

Light at the end of the tunnel.

Please make the tooltips possible to toggle while in game (like the labels). If we are in multiplayer and trying to help another player over the radio it would be really helpful to see what the switches are called without having to have this always on or off. Would also help learning new aircraft and mapping all those buttons!

I think the AB sounds just need a little more low frequency to be a bit more immersive but not louder per say. Also the aircraft does need a bit more low frequency in general to add feeling. Such as the cockpit shake when going through the engine start procedures. Also for anyone that has transducers it makes a big difference, and no I don't like SSA. Many other aircraft have subtle low frequency noises which really add to the feel and immersion of the aircraft.

I also have this (MT) very long time on initial logo loading screen. Seems OK after that although I see less loading screens than before. Possibly a bit quicker than before. I was wondering if I needed to let saved games regen.

Thing is it's not about trust, it's about how secure are those links as they can be redirected. Anyone in this day and age knows that cyber crime is real and common. Being careful means not clicking file links in forums. This. It's a sad world and the internet can be a dark place.

I agree, what's wrong with the documents section on this website? I can wait until it gets released properly.

Jeeze it was a question about the Ryzen 7000x3d series in the correct thread. You're always pushing your 5800 and DDR4 it bears no relation to what any of us are discussing. Go to a 5800x3d thread.

Yes, just create the missing directories.

We are all focusing on the F15E development and well, maybe ED want to get the core engine all nice. This is a huge release for the platform and I would fully respect a decision to get everything working well for this module. Just wish they could have waited a bit to light the hype fire...

Seems a lot of hype for July release, there is only so many videos I can watch. What good is five cold start videos two months before release? I hope they were trolling us but seems an odd troll. They should say two weeks, when it is actually two weeks away. That would be funny and honestly what I thought they were doing last time....

So after quite a while I have some benchmarks to post. Nice little improvement all benchmarks done with the same 3090. Old system is i9 9900KS 64Gb DDR4 3600 C18, new system is 7800X3D with 64GB of Kingston fury, this is rated to 6000 C36 but for below tests it is running without expo. Expo is making no difference at the moment due to GPU bottleneck. Shame capframe X doesn't let you make these bar charts with the average frametimes rather than FPS. The individual analysis tabs show a decent lower and more consistent frametime on new system. I can also feel this at all stages of flight, the whole thing just feels more fluid and responsive. Didn't expect that. Tests done with plasma torture track, high preset, 2D, 1440p. Tested ST and MT on both systems.

You will be very very GPU bound. I've gone from a i9 9900KS OC'd at 5.1, to 7800X3D using the same 3090. The 7800 is very very GPU bound now whereas the 9900 managed to load it to between 80-98%. EXPO makes no difference for me here, due to GPU bounding. I have some stats to post later.

Somebody else pointed it out in this thread couple of months ago. I watched it back and saw. He also says he gets asus's "refurbished" or returned boards. Not a good move.. might explain some problems? Maybe not.

Dunno if it fixes it or not yet, but I expect that setting the SOC low enough would half fix it anyway, and dont think any of the bios updates fix the borked OCP unless they just left that out of the change notes.... Doubt it will get tested aside from the user base, but we got nothing else to do but try it and be vigilant. He did put the ram in the wrong sockets. It was in the video.... Just saying...
