hassata Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 So, I should have aero enabled in windows 7 and checked in the game if I'm running a USB MFD? Havent seen the new GUI yet, but you want Aero enabled. So choose an Aero theme in Windows, do not check the new in game option if doing so disables Aero. Obviously you are running Windowed Mode. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
YeaImRota Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 It is not useless at all. With the previous version of World you always had to ALT-TAB out and in to DCS to get your mouse to click on the buttons in the sim. Having this Aero option enabled in DCS now prevents you from having to ALT-TAB first and focus is immediately good upon launching the sim. Actually, this only happens to me when I have DCS World disable Aero. When I leave the option unchecked, it's perfectly fine and I do not have to alt-tab to click buttons in the cockpit. http://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit Hoggit 1st Fighter Wing Weekly training missions on Tuesday nights, missions on Saturdays!

Nate--IRL-- Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 yes less video virtual ram is used from the card. I see, how much? Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
PeterP Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Nate , this is really depending on what you have on your desktop ruining,widgets ,multi-monitor/single and/or virtual display-adapter for USB ect. Aero On can help immense to speed things up when running a application windowed, but can be very useless when running a application Full-screen as it uses up V-ram to store a "image" of your running desktop to be able to switch back rather quickly to your desktop again. - but this used resources are missing for your fullscreen-application. So it can sometimes be huge or just less - this really depends on system and V-ram and also swap-files. Edited July 12, 2012 by PeterP
badger66 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 It turns off the windows Aero interface - a rather useless feature to be honest. Nate What exactly is this please , in laymans terms . I have it switched off in world , as I didnt have that option in the original setup ..... so I dont really understand what its all about . thanks in advance .
Nate--IRL-- Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Actually reading up on it it can consume up to 150mb of main memory - it might be of use to 32bit users. Badger it turns windows back to the basic theme while DCS is running. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
PeterP Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) And whats the point of doing that ? What you mean by "that" ? - disabling aero theme? - You can free up some resources by doing this while running DCS in Fullscreen . But you should keep it on when using windowed mode. People that have a powerful 2GB V-ram GPU and running at a singel-head at around 1980x1090 will see no real improvement that they can measure at all - as their CPU is in most cases the limiting factor and the GPU should handle everything easily with aero on or off. BUT if you have attached USB monitors and want to display data on them while DCS is windowed you have to use the aero theme - as the visual experience of the desktop is not all that aero does. Under the hood is much more going on and it also manages some software emulation functions that are needed for the virtual-graphics adapter that a USB-Monitor uses. I hope this answer helps.
