We are currently experiencing server performance issues. I run a small community server it is just a group of 10 of us or so, we are using a Dell R710. The computer is a little older but it still has good performance specs and sits well above the minimum specs for running a dedicated server. While the CPU of the server is perfectly capable of running the dedicated server, as single core of that CPU is not capable of doing so. We have 6 cores available on our server DCS takes one core and uses 100% of it. This isn't an issue on most missions. It is only a problem when we are trying to run Dzsekeb's Pretense missions (they are fantastic by the way). The pretense mission is a dynamic campaign using scripting. There is a high number of ground units pathing between different zones and we believe it is the high number of vehicles pathing that causes the issues. As you guys move closer to creating the DCS dynamic campaign I worry that this will get worse for more servers as there will be many more assets running, more logic needed and more complex code running on the servers. After reading your thread on Mulithreading it was suggested that if there are dedicated server issues to post them. I will be attaching our logs, machine specs and images of the CPU usage. I'm sure making DCS dedicated MT would be a daunting task but it floors me that even on a server computer that's worth about $1000 can't run a semi complex dynamic mission. 2024-01-15_11-38-57.mp4 dcs.log server-20240115-105315.trk

Hello all just adding to the bug report. I am on a Valve index. From left to right you can see me attempting to align with the circles concentric followed by just aiming at the boresight. In the second image of both you can see that the aim is off to the left. In this example I have the IHADDS rendering in both eyes but I had the same results with only the right eye.

That's a great idea too. Free is better than less. The main issue being that there needs to be a better way to pull people in. Especially people who are sim light and would really enjoy dcs but just need a good way to get their feet wet. -

Thanks for the comment! Sorry for my late reply to it work has been busy. It is nice to have people who actually RIO weighing in on this as this idea directly affects you. Especially as we look forward to the apache(GIB). -

The appeal seems limited to you. I know several people who would pay right now to ride in an aircraft. We don't know the cost so constantly saying it costs too much is just you assuming that it would cost too much. Iceman doesn't work in MP so he is not helpful to a RIO. Many many aircraft are about to come out that are multicrew and they are going to be empty. This is a great way to introduce new players get them in where they can learn the game get the sim bug and join. -

If you are flying them yes, but if you purchased the mod and cant fly because there is no pilot on you might regret spending that money. -

I believe the last sale was $65 which I was fine paying as the pilot but the guy who was going to just RIO thought it was a little steep considering he would only play it when I was flying the 14 -

Personal experiences are important and it totally sucks that your friends have not jumped in with you. I have had the opposite experience. I recently rented the F-14 and my friend and the reason I created this post was my RIO. At first he didn't know much of anything so we would let jester power up the back then he would jump in. Luckily I am a bad pilot so after several deaths he was able to learn the cold start, but we were having fun doing it. Made it a much less frustrating experience when your laughing and dying because your missiles won't come off the rack. I have friends that are interested that I am also trying to get in when a sale is on and maybe I will share your experience then. Yes and we have looked at that thanks for the link! Problem still remains as fun as my friend had sitting in the RIO seat, $80 USD is a lot of money to spend when you only plan to RIO and have no interest in flying the aircraft. -

Unfortunately we can have the specifics on numbers. However that is ED's job to figure out if it's feasible. My hope with this post was more to gage interest and hope ED have a look at this. -

That's also interesting. Personally I don't like to pay dcs unless I have at least an hour usually two. It is rare for me to pay less than 1 hour in a session, unless something breaks. -

I would say we go for that middle we cold start on a through the inferno, which is a great way to train. I also love the rescue missions, ready for that blackhawk mod lol. -

I believe there is an iceman ai that will fly in SP. I don't really know anything about that AI, or how it works. My two weeks of renting the 14, my buddy Rio'd for me the entire time... I don't even know how jester works. We only use quick action because we have guys who only have 30 min to play after putting the kids down and we don't want to exclude them. I think with the rts updates we will see more quick action servers, because they can be made better. If there was a $20 rio package I would have already gifted a couple of them, to try and get my buddies interested. I can't gift them a plane because they don't want to fly and don't want to learn right now. They do want to pew pew though . -

That's actually some really interesting information, as I have never played in a hard-core server. My friends and I host a private server with through the inferno maps loaded. You are usually over target within 5-10 min of takeoff. Then again do new pilots who are learning their aircraft join on those missions or do only experienced pilots come in? -

Awesome! Thanks for the personal anecdote to substantiate the post. I think fully crewed aircraft adds a level of immersion and fun to missions. Also I think it would bring more people into the game.
