jackd Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) I just got a new GPU, Gigabyte Aorus 4080 Super Gaming OC. The game runs fine, but i tested a p51 (bought version), using the F2 key for a side view noticed a weird prop display position behavior. It' position moves forwards and backwards along the first part of the engine compartment, pulsating about 6 times per second. This was not with my old Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3080 ti card .... so it might be some settings issue. MSAA on or of makes no difference, and i like it off since the prop haze is less. I am not handy to record a video of it, dunno how, got no experience installed (had problems with it in the past)..

rob10 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Are you running ST? Prop weirdness is an issue in ST (sounds like what you're seeing) that's likely not going to get fixed since MT will be the only option in the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackd Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 (edited) what is ST? MT? something to do with my 4080 super RTX? Guess nothing to do with sounds .. Only i have sounds switched off as i use a steinberg UC22, all worked Ok with my old 3080ti RTX card. Edited February 23 by jackd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackd Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Thanks all, just figured it out. I must run DCS.exe from the bin-MT folder, than it's gone .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackd Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 (edited) Just updated DCS. Prop error is still there with DCS.exe normal version, but the DCS.exe from the bin-mt folder no longer works: Stuttering game play, and a white flickering border around the game window. Must be with some NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super settings issue. Tips welcome! and thanks for looking. ADDED: NVIDIA control panel settings ............. just found it right here at the downloads: thanks Sn8ke Pizzkin. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3333850/ DRAWBACK ... DCS.EXE from the bin-mt folder takes twice the tim to start that the normal one ............ FIX BADLY NEEDED !!!!!!!!!!!

DCS.EXE from the bin-mt folder takes twice the tim to start that the normal one this fix will not help the prop issue but perhaps the long load time. ensure you have added exceptions to DCS folders in your security software. 1 AKA_SilverDevil AKA Forums My YouTube “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” — Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackd Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 (edited) Thanks, alas on my system Avast Premium is controlling these. PS i can't really see different security behavior regarding security between the two DCS.exe versions. I have a strong feeling my 4080 super RTX's settings in control panel have to do with it ... Just installed the latest NVIDIA drivers, but the pulsating prop is still there. A friend has a 'normal' 4080 GPU, but he does not have this pulsating prop at all.

Art-J Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Prop thingy is strictly DCS ST related, so no amount of driver tinkering will help in this case. One just has to play in MT mode to solve it for now and that's that. I would, however, investigate that game startup time issue now, 'cause ST will be discontinued sooner rather than later and we'll all be left with MT for better or worse. Search around "performance bugs" section for hints, tips and tricks. Game and mission loading times should not be all THAT different compared to ST mode.

jackd Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 (edited) Thanks Art. Funny is though the prop thing with the 'normal' DCS.exe is NOT with an RTX 4080 (non Super) and my former 3080ti. I have windows 10 64x LTSC and 64GB of DDR5, just installed the latest GPU drivers. I'll give windows 11 pro a try soon; just bought a license. BTW the bin-mt DCS.exe is staggering at times, but not always on my win 10 system.. The game window is surrounded by a white flickering thin line at startup. Makes me still think it's a specific adjustable NVIDIA RTX control panel thing. ADDED ... just tested DCS with Windows 11 pro. SAME BEHAVIOR, only it seems that the bin-mt DCS exe runs OK, but takes twice the time to start also. Edited March 2 by jackd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Yes, the title "DCS ST" means it only happens in DCS ST. A fix is in the making. 1 1 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But PLEASE don't remove it until MT performs at least as well as ST does on all hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 That's not up to me to decide, I'm not from ED. I guess you're talking about the parking core issue? Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
