Northstar98 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Simply an incredible changelog! Though regarding the Ropucha I being added to Ukraine and Yemen, has it also been added for the USSR? I only ask as I'm unable to test at the moment (some of my laptop's capacitors went bang and my new system isn't fully there yet). Edit: disregard, checked this and it appears to be present.

Hoirtel Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 So from the FAQ it looks like you have to run VR in open xr with MT? is that correct? I hadn't actually tried open xr yet as I was fine on oculus as it was... maybe I missed the point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunfreak Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 How many are affected by this? Quote DCS won’t start on a PC with CPU with 32 CPU threads (or more). I had to check my CPU and I have nice low number of 16. i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 3090, 64Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker62 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Thank You very much ED, this OB update is really an unexpected and very rich surprise. The download will begin soon, in the meantime I read the changelog and then we'll fly. That's pity for issues related to the SC. Anyway thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I sort of assumed that Open XR wasn't really for oculus users as its all natively supported, but never actually got around to trying it out.

Those CPUs have 16 cores 32 threads so no need to disable SMT. Disable SMT only if more than 32 threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
