  1. I've had DCS since 2016 & purchased many of the modules but I've felt for ages that 've never utilized the full game, i just faff about mainly. Main reason is that performances wasn't great in VR. So now for the first time I'm really starting to get into DCS properly because since the MT update performance is really great & i can play at 80FPS. This is only going to improve & all of a sudden I've started to invest way more time in this game & very motivated to learn. Only really the clouds aliasing bothers me. 

    Just thought i would share some positive feedback.

    The problem of DCS (and most of the game out there), is that the load is still not spread out evenly. So 1 or 2 cores are overloaded, while the rest is almost idling. There is still a lo of work to do regarding MT, to make use of it in full potential. 

    So, despite 7800X3D (or 7950X3D) are overall gaming kings, in DCS and specially in VR, the best option is 13900K atm.

    Based on bench-marks? 

    In-fact just found this..

    CPU does not really matter anymore since we got MT. It was limiting factor in ST. That said I have 7800x3d with 4090 and CPU frame time is 3ms.

    Trust me It matters else i wouldn't need to upgrade.

    So you are running DCS at what FPS in VR during missions?

    3ms CPU frame-time sounds impressive & I'm almost sold on getting one but if its 3ms @ 40fps over the sea not so much.  

  5. I think that's the general consensus, i guess the problem for me is they are not so good for a DAW. With the 79503d it splits the CPU cores, so half a for gaming & half for productivity. Not sure how well that actually works in reality though. I'm tempted to wait for the next gen of intel & see what they do.  

     

  6. Trying to decide between i9 13900k & 9 7950x3d or 7800x3d.

    I would be upgrading from a 5800x

    What complicates things is I use my PC as a DAW so having more & fast cores is a necessity. 

    I have a 4090 RTX card. 

    IL2 is another game limited by CPU but I'm not sure any of these cpu's would help it. 

    I also play FS2020 but due to its poor framerate not that much. 

     

    I suspect even these new processors are the limiting factor in these games rather than the 4090, any VR users on here have these CPU's?

    The default position in VR also seems to be high and left, making the gunsight even more awkward to use that it probably has to be.

    Let's see how ED tweak it.

    The default is wrong. You can move the position of the pilot with one of the camera positions in vr although i have to reset it every mission. This also means you can cheat by sliding the camera across to the middle. I actually prefer to lean over.

    I think there's a issue with reflections as well in that they appear to be reflecting a generic skybox and not the actual lighting.  For instance, in these screenshots taken at sunset they don't appear to be reflecting the sunset, but rather a blue-sky mid-day sun.  There doesn't appear to be any of the orange hues of the sky actually in the water, resulting in a sort of odd paradox between what the water's doing and what the sky is doing.  It just looks plain funky given there are no light sources to be causing this effect on the water.  Oddly, it seems like it hits this the closer it gets to sunset.  Up until sunset the lighting appears to be fine.  

    Edit: I do want to point out, this screenshot appears to be set up with the old clouds.  When I took a look at the mission, I noticed it did not have a cloud setting.  So this may in fact be a bug between how the sim is currently using old and new clouds.  The water may be attempting to reflect the new cloud engine while using the old clouds in the sky.   I'm attempting to watch the same effects with a cloud setting to see how the water changes.

    I see this a lot at night, really odd looking reflections on the water.

  9. Yes its all very blurry & low resolution in vr, the lighting & shadows is much better on the ground but looking at the clouds its like I'm partially sighted.

     I'm wondering if there is some sharpening issues as well as it can look very blocky when the cloud interacts with the ground.

  10. Clouds jittering. They move about like they are a separate superimposed image & shake in the distance, this makes me nauseous. 

    Dark banding in the sea.

    Clouds banding stipes these meet with other stripes at 110 degree angles.

    Very blurry clouds in distance wit heavy aliasing 

    Multiple CTD

    Sometimes vapour trails only appear in one eye in the distance.

  11. I'm getting a bug where I get a flash of darkness every so often. Its hard to describe as it seems like its just 1 frame but i would describe it like a negative 'inverse' image. Its very jarring in VR. I had this on my old pc & now my new build is the same.
