Hi guys, I have just done another climb test with the latest flight model update. The results are very interesting! The original test was this and I have added the latest figures in BLUE: Reading in the NFM-400 performance manual you get the following data for a climb with these conditions: Engine = 408 Drag Index : 17.7 GW at start of climb : 22,000 lbs (7200 lbs of fuel) CLB Speed : 300 KCAS / .75 M Max thrust climb, this is 109% / 710 degrees C JPT for the -408 engine Test carried out in ISA conditions, winds calm EXTRAPOLATED DATA FROM THE CLIMB CHARTS VS DCS : TIME TO CLIMB - DCS - NEW FM / FUEL REMAINING - DCS - NEW FM / DISTANCE - DCS - NEW FM SL to 10,000 ft = 0:48 mins / 0:25 / 0:35 / 7040 lbs / 7094 / 7016 / 3.5 nm / 2.5 / 3.8 SL to 20,000 ft = 1:42 mins / 0:54 /1:27 / 6850 lbs / 7010 / 6855 / 10.5 nm / 5.1 / 9.1 SL to 25,000 ft = 2:30 mins / 1:13 / 2:04 / 6770 lbs / 6967 / 6771 / 16 nm / 7.1 / 13.2 SL to 30,000 ft = 3:24 mins / 1:35 /2:57 / 6660 lbs / 6922 / 6671 / 24 nm / 9.6 / 19.8 SL to 35,000 ft = 5:00 mins / 1:56 / 4:25 / 6580 lbs / 6881 / 6545 / 32.5 nm / 12.0 / 30.1 SL to 40,000 ft = 7:34 / 2:24 / 7:46 / 6430 lbs / 6836 / 6363 / 53 nm / 15.3 / 54.4 Comparing the BLACK figures to the BLUE figures Razbam have done a really good job at making the flight model more in line with what NFM-400 says is possible. The fuel burn in particular is very accurate as is the distance. Unfortunately I know the FM change may annoy some people out there that were enjoying the really powerful engine/low drag FM. On the positive side, the overhead break has become more realistic and doing a VNSL is also much better now.

The fix to get the lights to work was to put the lights in as a GROUND UNIT - FORTIFICATION, not as a static object. I read that fix on your other thread. Many thanks!

That looks pretty good! Also the water isn't ridiculously dark like in DCS now.

Plus the initial release was 2 weeks later than planned....

Hi guys, I updated my Nvidia drivers on saturday and played DCS. Shut the pc down and then yesterday tried to start the pc up but windows will not boot. The error code is a SrtTrail.txt BSOD error. Automatic repair does not work and it keeps trying to reboot without success. I feel like a fresh reinstall of windows may be the only option. 1) has anybody had this error before? If so , how did you fix it? 2) through command prompt I can get access to my files and copy them onto a usb pen. I'm planning on copying: - DCS saved games folder - rs mapper for my home cockpit switch and button settings Is there anything else I should copy before I reinstall windows and lose all my stuff?

I used to get this crash on loading a 2 and mission, every single time since I updated to 2.7 . Today I updated my Nvidia driver (to the one that came out yesterday) and have had not a single crash in 1 hour continuous mission loading. On top of that it seems that the super carrier mission CQ (instant mission , caucasus f14) seems to work smoother. Got a Reverb G1, 2080Super, 5900X CPU, 32 gb ram.

Chocks still in place?

Oh man, that sucks. I guess it's too late to return the card? You could probably sell it and not lose too much money at the moment, the 2nd and GPU market is crazy right now. I was hoping to maybe buy a 6900XT but after reading numerous people's complaints I'm having 2nd thoughts.

Any news on the issues you guys had? Are they solved now with the new drivers?

if I set my Reverb to 60 hz it goes away and the gameplay is smooth but 60 hz gives me headaches (caused the screen flickering). 90 Hz I get that ghosting effect but it gets better when I switch reprojection to "forced always on". I have tried everything to improve my frametime but not making any progress.

Hi guys, thinking of upgrading my 2080 super. Can't make up my mind whether to try and grab a 3080ti when (if?) they come out or try and get a 6900XT. I have AMD 5900X cpu so SAM should work with a 6900XT. Just wondering whether anybody here knows if SAM actually makes any difference for VR performance in DCS? I have a Reverb G1. Thanks!

This! I have the exact same problem, it's like a "ghosting" effect on objects. It happens when I look sideways. I'm sure I didn't have this prior to 2.7. Also, the new clouds are a hog on my system. If I use the preset clouds of the top row I'm fine, any of the other ones and I notice significant stutters.

Did you figure out what the problem was?

Is anybody else having more crashes since installing the mod? DCS crashes whenever I try load a 2nd mission in mission editor(first mission loads and plays fine). Trying to figure out if it's the mod or something else?

Yeh,close up the water looks good. But when you fly above it , even as low as 500 ft, it is too dark and featureless. Especially if it's in the shade of a cloud.

A few months later now, any updates on VR performances with 2.7 with the 6900XT vs 3090?

When I use the NVGs in the AV8B the green circle (nvg vision) appears quite small, as if the nvgs are too far away from your eyes. It's great that I can see around the NVG circle but I would like it to be a bit bigger. Is there a way to do this?

That fixed it!! Thank you. But I dont get the lights at night time, not sure why.

Wow! Thanks for such a quick and detailed reply! I was sad to think I was not able to use the static template. I will try the fix, don't care about the integrity check. Thanks!

Is anybody else having issues with the static template for Kobuleti? I can load the template in mission editor but if I click on an object or load the mission to fly it I get an error and DCS crashes. This is the error message :

I read that the mod has been updated already to work with 2.7

What do you lose by doing this? I can think of the following: - kneeboard pages - mods - saved missions (?) Do you keep your control option keybinds? Is there anything else to consider before doing this?

Using a Reverb G1 VR headset, terrain object shadows to default. So with 2.7 I noticed that the shadows of objects (like trees) seem to appear/disappear in a line as you fly over them. It's hard to explain exactly what I am seeing but as you fly along it's very noticeable that object shadows seem to disappear as they pass below the aircraft/a Field of view. It's as if the shadows disappear when the object is about 0.1 nm from the aircraft and creates this weird effect as if something is moving in the corner of your eye. Did anybody else notice this? Is there a setting I should change to fix this?

Ehm...not sure, never tried. I don't remember seeing the mouse under the USB devices in RS Mapper.

Is it reasonable to believe that the performance boost some people are seeing in VR is because of the lower quality clouds? So it stands to reason that if they fix the low quality and improve it we can expect VR performance to go down the drain? Personally I can't really tell if my performance is better...it kind of feels the same as 2.5.6 without a shaders mod. 2080S card , 5900X & Reverb G1. The water does seem too dark though, as do the shaded areas under the clouds. Turning the gamma up makes everything too bright when you are in the sunny areas.
