Prelude

Yes eventually I did receive them. The packaging was great. He missed two items I ordered (Cardigans) but he made up for it by reimbursing the price of those items and sending me the 3D file to print myself. I'm happy with the product so far, but it would have been nice to have a heads up that it would take about 8 months to arrive...

Wow thanks for compiling all that! And I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing it. Nice work!

Problem solved. I had to get DisplayLink software. Would be handy info to have included in Cubesim's install help videos.

So after about 8 months of waiting, my Cubesim MFDs finally arrived! First thing I noticed, it's missing the backboards to mount them to the desk mounts. Guess I'll 3d print my own. Second and main issue right now is that the screens will power on, show the Cubesim splash screen, then go straight to a blue screen that says "no signal" and then go black. Windows Device manager sees them "USB-VGA-17" (no device drivers) but they don't show up in Display Settings.

Further experimentation, it's an intermittent issue. Same server, same players connected, sometimes I"ll load in and get 40fps pretty consistently, other times I"ll load in and it's instantly a slide show.

I opened a support ticked and attached the log file.

Thanks for the reply, but no my PC isn't rebooting on its own. I have tried rebooting it before joining the server to make sure it's not some weird glitch.

The performance graph I was looking at did show the CPU as being the bottleneck. (i5 9700k, overclocked) but if it was only a server problem, would the issue not go away once I back out of the server to the main menu? Because it doesn't stop being a slide show even when I'm back in the main screen. Rest of system specs are: 2080ti, 32gb ram, m.2 nvme, Windows 10, OpenXR

Hey this problem seems to happen intermittently, but happened three times in a row tonight even after complete PC reboots. I boot DCS and it runs fine. Usually get around 30-60fps in single player. Even in my sqn's servers I usually get good performance. Today I tried to join 4YA servers, and every time I loaded into the server my fps would instantly drop to 3-7. Total slide show. It has happened before on other servers, but usually a reboot fixes. The even weirder part is if I exit to main menu after joining the server, the FPS even in the menu remains low. Anyone else had this issue?

Well I got a reply and at least it wasn't a supply issue this time.

Just found this thread after a Google search of "Cubesim delayed." I ordered mine back in November and when I emailed in December for an approx ship date, he said Jan/Feb timeframe. When I emailed him again in Feb he said they would be shipped by the end of Apr. Now almost midway through May I'm emailing him again. 6 months without even a shipping notification (which I'm assuming will take about 3 weeks in itself) seems unusually bad to me. How hard can it be to build one of those things? I know he had supply issues, but even that considered, this seems way off to me. Getting frustrated here at the shifting promises.

There are probably about 100 different poll options, it could be there. But those are the top most voted.

Well ED, looks like the vote is in. George is out, Wagz is the new Apache AI copilot.

You were right about the drive. Although it was installed on an SSD last year, he switched the install folder to a different SSD and its been working just fine. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks I'll pass this along to him and we'll see how it goes
