Hi Tripod, Thx for the quick temp(?) fix, my throttle is alive again. Does yours still work? Cause I’m curious if this fix will last. Maybe an account of what happened can shed some light on what might be the problem. I haven't got the faintest idea what could be wrong. I've been using my Warthog since april 2015 directly plugged in subsequently 3 different mobo's (MSI Z87-G45 gaming, Aorus Z390 Pro and Gigabyte Z490 Gaming). No problems whatsoever, even after a mandatory firmware update in august 2019 (bought the F/A-18 Stick). This week I finally bought the TPR rudders. So I installed new drivers with all Thrustmaster devices plugged in (including Warthog Hotas, MFD's and Cougar Hotas –still works great after all these years - remember the Falcon 4.0 Superpaks?). Only when I switched form the F16 to the F/A-18, I noticed the Warthog throttle was dead. I plugged it in my other PC (Aorus Z390 it has the F/A-18 Stick firmware update and ‘old’ drivers). The result was confusing. The device wouldn’t start, unless I took off the ground plate. Unplugging and plugging in without the ground plate had random results (with the ground plate screwed in place it was dead anyway). Finally I managed to update the throttle to firmware ver. 23. Even with the firmware ver. 23 the throttle was dead in my Gigabyte Z490. Now it’s plugged in a non-powered USB hub together with 2 MFD’s, the TPR, a keyboard, a Logitech USB Unifying Receiver and a cheap USB-A - Bluetooth 2.0 dongle. I hope the throttle keeps working, cause it's a long trip from the Netherlands to Canada and back. Cheers Hectic

I stopped fiddling with ProcessExplorer. Setting core affintity didn’t seem to reduce cpu frametimes. Setting DCS process priority to ‘realtime’ also didn’t improve frametimes drastically, maybe barely noticeable. I could be fooling myself (placebo/wishfull thinking etc.). But I created a shortcut to cmd.exe to run DCS in realtime priority anyway. Type in the targetbox: %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start "" /Realtime "F:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe". As soon as stocks and prices are back to ‘normal’ I’ll update my 9700k@52_1080ti _32GB_NVMe combo to something more capable to drive my HP G2…

Hi y'all, I'm still struggeling to reduce cpu frametimes. Anyway, I recently stumbled upon an suite of up tp date tools: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ I'm experimenting with ProcessExplorer. It lets' you set a processes priority and affinity and more. Cheers.
