If a package is only 10GB or 20GB then why do I need to have an extra 195GB just to allow me to download the 20gb? At least help me understand.

Hi! What modules do you have_

[bengo]

Update crashes each time. I've rebooted but still the same. 

[gulredrel]

What an impressive list of changes. Time for reading, download will take a while.

What map and module is that?

[Rufuz64]

It's Single Player on Caucasus with a TF-51, a short go around as a track file (our benchmark, so both screen shots show the same track). But it's even worse on Marian Island.

@Rufuz64 Did you enable quadviews and eyetracking in DCS VR options? They are new

@Rufuz64 Cool app! So you basically add your entries in the log, and then test?

2 flights and both times DCS crashed pressing F10 Map.... Sigh

F10 map was stuttering before this patch but now its worse it just crashes the whole sim...

 

same issue here. you got a solution?

[Gunfreak]

Haven't flown yet. Have to wait until tomorrow.

But doing a free cam flight over Kola.

I get this thing.

Never seen that before.

Don't know if it's related to Kola or the "terrain optimisations " from ED.

La actualización falla cada vez. Reinicié pero sigue igual. 

Space on HD?

[Rufuz64]

I wanted to stay with Mbuccia Quad View / TallyMouse Companion because there are no settings for focus size and foveate / peripheral resolution in DCS.
Now that I have switched on QV and eye tracking in DCS, things are working better again. Unfortunately, not quite like before.

I'll keep testing...

Oh no.. improved spotting dots present Even disabled in options..

Hi,

Latest patch made some funny cargo bug with the Chinook.

Loading Cargo that is stacked up on each other in to the Chinook, will move all crates in to 1 place and clip through the air-frame. Then the chinook tips over forward

This is done by stacking cargo with CTLD, then loading 1 crate with the native Cargo system.

We created a small benchmark track for our VR workshop at the Open Flight School. We simply run it through and measure with CapFrame. This allows us to see exactly where the bottleneck is and what happens when we change the settings.

This is true, and I have everything except for some of the campaigns.

Did wonder if it was dynamic, be pointless downloading everything if you didn't own it. I only got a copy of maps, Supercarrier, Flaming Cliffs, couple of helicopters and five aircraft although that will be increasing shortly as there's a couple of helicopters I want and couple of maps

Yes that annoyed me too: now there's a (relatively) huge black square in the sky whereas normally there would be a faint actual aircraft visible...

Like someone mentioned above, I guess a lot of textures for Kola today.

QPro user, both eye-tracking and QVFR options are disabled here.

I agree, I have headroom for higher res with Varjo Foveated. Would like to keep that ability.

In my testing the Pimax native Quad Views was giving me micro stutters. I reinstalled mbuccia's quadviews and it works smoothly and it allows me to keep my old settings or use TallyMouse Companion. No need for Pimax XR, just reinstall mbuccia's quad views and it will use it instead.

I've not got QV turned on but my mbuccia QV doesn't seem to be working, even though DCS settings says the layer for it is there.

Have the new spotting dots on and see nasty black squares in the middle of aircraft even after I can see the wings.

How do you even turn on pimax  Quadview? 

I've basically set up my piamx crystal, and Quadview a year ago and not touched anything since.
