Has anyone noticed a difference in the DLAA/ DLSS ghosting since the update?

This all looks pretty tasty!

Very disappointed in the spotting bug. Overall feel and looked better in vr though. Hopefully the spotting gaffe can be a quick patch. It was fine before the update.

A quick question about the release version, I saw "2.9.8.1107 MT" at the right bottom of the corner.  "MT" suffix will be always displayed going forward?  Thanks.

same issue here. you got a solution?

Nope but add me to the f10 crash list.

I kept getting the F10 map crash when running cfrag's Expansion mission after installing DCS update. Never had any issues running the mission prior to the update.

Switched to TTI Syria and no F10 map crash.

Switched back to Expansion and disabled stopGap script from loading in mission editor and after that the F10 map no longer crashed the mission.

Hi

 Please does anyone know if there are any fixes for the trains in this update ?

Can the trains now be deactivated and dissapear like in the old ST Version.

Can the trains be deactivated and dissapear in this new MT Version ?

Thanks

Good patch for me.

Installed in less than 20 min.

Played ME in VR and I would say my first impression is there is a performance boost. 

DCS 2.9.8?? So 3.0 is closing in....Curious what this magic number will bring...:)

3.0 will be reserved for the implementation of Vulkan and the DCE I'd imagine.

That new TF-51D handling is awesome.

What's changed? Nothing in the changelog for TF-51D.

That's a big update for that map, can see why some peoples downloads have been 250GB.

Someone has mistaken the uncompressed files size 250GB for the download size around 120GB.

[Bounti30]

I only speak for myself but this new update is a real disappointment.
No performance increase, processor Core 0 saturation, and spotting dots is horrible in VR.

Core scheduling is managed by the OS not by the application. And offloading anything to core 0 is a bad habit of windows in the first place. I would have a deep look in what else is running in the background if you have performance issues on a specific core.

Possible culprits that can affect performance/smoothness:

- Antivirus
- Power service
- RGB-Software
- Monitoring Software

just some examples. Personally I would get rid of any service that isn't positively needed.

Speaking for myself (as many have said) I see regained performance and an absence of stuttering so, for me, in terms of gameplay I have returned to the halcyon days of pre. the previous 2 patches.  No problem associated with the download nor F10 anomalies and none of the issues experienced by some VR players.  

Many thanks ED.

Ha ha I spoke too soon, I cant access the F10 map now in any mission from instant action to any of our server missions, it just does not show up at all, have re bound the keys tried other keys assigned to it, cleaned and repaired multiple times, removed all mods, 3 others in my squad so far have the same issue.

DCS is broken

Post update of Pimax Play I was one of the lucky ones that had great image quality, pretty much solid 72FPS and the floating sensation of the headset had stopped. I was looking forward to the patch yesterday for even better performance. 
I am grateful for the patch and all the hard work from the developers.  Sadly this morning I have noticed a reduction in FPS especially lower altitudes and dogfighting enemy jets. The floating sensation has also returned.  Switching between F10 and F1 places a big hit on FPS but F2 retains 72FPS.

Having tried various combinations with Pimax Play, QVFR, QVC and DCS (QV & ET enabled and not) I have settled on Pimax Play QV enabled with DCS QV&ET enabled and no other apps.  FPS remains reduced at lower altitudes but floating is minimal.  I feel like I was better placed pre ED patch in terms of performance but do welcome all the new features and fixes especially the F16 radar.  
 

If anyone has found the trick to maintain performance as before I would be most grateful for your advice. Thank you.

Did you fly it?  Both the TF-51D and the F-16 have new rudder code, and it's very broken. 

[Esac_mirmidon]

What is very Broken?

Please elaborate
