BMGZ06

I just got my crosswinds several days ago and they are nice for sure. I am still trying to figure out the best tuning for them though but I can tell on the ground I have more fine control taxing around and then keeping it on center line during take off. The TFRP's were not as nice and I was all over the place. The build quality of the MFG's are damn nice as well. They feel high quality and they seem like they are pretty tough. I was amazed I got them delivered in 4 days to California from Croatia during all this madness in the world. I also ordered a new Green HOTAS stick spring from Sahaj at the same time as the pedals and the spring is still not here after 9 days. Not sure if it is just USPS and their incompetence.

Ya I had to disable and enable it again then after restart it finally went to 90hz. Thanks guys for the help!:joystick::pilotfly:

So Steam VR updated and now even though the HP reverb is set to 90hz in windows MR when I launch steam vr it restricts it to 60hz with no way to change it. Tried multiple restarts and nothing works.. Anyone else seeing this?

I could be wrong but clouds are not nothing in the game. They do it via volumetric rendering since they are 3D and dynamic. I am sure this requires a lot of resources. So they are likely more difficult then say ground textures. That said you may want to look at lowering some settings since you CPU is pretty old now and turning down shadows and turning off SSAA and MSAA may help a lot to see if the FPS gets better. with my system you can see in my signature I can fly through clouds without much issue but I also have SSAA, MSAA off and shadows set to low.

I just got these new but why did you ditch them?

Ya I am going to but I dont have enough room on my current nvme so i got another one coming to install both versions on it and that drive will be solely for DCS. No other garbage on it.

I use a reverb also and I tried beta today and it ran horrible in multiplayer but single player i could fly instant action without much issue but still not as good as release version. I went back to release and flew in multiplayer for 2 hours with no issues. My settings are not low either. I hope they fix beta for VR as I really want to take advantage of the newest improvements. The only issue is download speeds when updating back and forth from beta. The speeds were in the low single digits but if i go download the installer from the website and run the download for new install i get 30-70mb/sec.

I tried to run openbeta today and in multiplayer my frames were getting to low teens in a server with 26 people and it was a slideshow at the airbase with two guys on the ground in hornets and one flying over head. As soon as I flew away from the base and by myself the FPS went back up to 40-45. I had SSLR, SSAA and MSAA off, shadows on low, heat blur low, civ traff off. as well as mustangs registry edit for DVR and the autoexc.cfg with track and hotplug set to disable. I also ran DCS in High priority. I have Nvidia CP all tuned for performance as well. I had to reinstall release version.

I am trying to install the open beta and I am getting less than 500kb downloads through either Torrent or HTTP. This has to be fixed. I have 1gb fiber and it is working just fine so internet is not the issue

Weird I have not noticed this in VR at all. Must be too busy looking at the FPS counter.

You are both right. I just did a search for ATT and there is a local outage that impacts people in different ways. I am able to connect to dcs webpage here and there but then it goes dead. They have no idea when it will be fixed. I have ATT fiber for more than a year with no real issues at all. I was lucky I guess. Oh and MaSTIFF you are not far off with that worthless Gavin Newscum comment. He is slimebag and I wouldnt put it past him.

Cant reach DCS website or login to game Since last night I have been unable to reach the webpage and when the game launches it says website not available and that I have less than 2 days left for authorization or something to that effect. I can not access the webpage to submit a ticket and their is no log in my file folder showing the problems. My internet works and I can reach other websites just fine. Failed to get authorization data. Error code is: 503 Using saved authorization.

Did you set the Reverb up for seated or did you do the room boundaries? I did room boundaries finally and it seemed to help. Not sure if it should have. But I was getting frequent tracking issues with seated setup only. Maybe try it and tell me if you get improvements. If not then I may just go back to seated setup. It could be placebo affect for me.

I don't no worries. I have been been able to get the Reverbs running pretty well now with a few simple tweaks. Most of the time it is solid 45fps with reporjection unless there are more than 3 or so planes flying in a dogfight around me. That has do with optimization since others with Rifts and Index's say it happens to them as well. I will take the higher fidelity with a lower average FPS over higher FPS low fidelity headsets any day.

I cant get to their website or when i start DCS up is says DCS website not available

I have tried that and it did not seem to help. I have since found some relief and increased my RAM today which helped a bit but in the Hornet the FPS can get to the low 30's on the Nellis AFB parking area. Or when I fly a mission like a 4 v 4 the fps will drop to the 30's or lower with all those planes flying around. I am also running the 2.5.5 stable release. The Tomcat is pretty also the same.

are you saying you have no deadzone and a 3 saturation for x and y or a 3 for curve?

Well you are doing better than me. After a week I still cant hook the f18 to any tanker period. I almost got close once...if you consider 20ft close. I am having hard times get the speed and stick movement right. Ordered the softer spring for the Warthog stick. hoping that less resistance in the stick well help.

I checked and mine is also 19gb and I am playing 2.5.5 release SP.

She is from the 50's and doesn't believe women should do man things.:smilewink:

Too LATE! I already blew my money on new RAM. Was this an excuse to buy more RAM? Maybe. Will the RAM be awesome? Most likely.:thumbup:

Order 2x16gb of Gskill Royal today(Need to stick with the RGB Bling). I didnt want to try my luck buying to more 8gb sticks since I have had issues with them not working when buying pairs instead of quad kits.

I am wondering because I finally got my system running well in SP instant action and training in VR with medium to high settings and SS at 120%. Normally do not have any dips below 45fps. I tried my first mission on Caucasus with a 2 v 2 and as soon as the SU's came into view my FPS started to tank. Also had issues on Nevada map once I got close to the parking area with all the planes parked up. Looking at the planes parked FPS was below 30 and looking Vegas it would go up to 50+. I noticed ram was well over 13.5gb most of the time. I have DCS set to high priority and not running anything other than steam VR WMR, and Voice attack along with Hardware monitor and EVGA precision X. I even set Windows defender to run at low priority at all times. I love the SIM and it has been great flying around since my FPS has improved in instant and training missions. The SIM is way too addicting. My girlfriend feels abandoned now.:music_whistling:

I may go to the Pimax 8kx but my concern is how much horsepower it will take to drive them to their max res. I have issues with my rig running the reverbs at constant 45fps with decent settings in game so it looks good still.

The peak it hits in DCS normally is 58 and that is mostly due to the fact that I undervolted the CPU to 1.27v with LLC set at medium so it doesnt allow it to add crazy useless voltage. It cuts down on heat and power usage.
