Frame Rate Counter

[RogueSqdn]

Within the past week or so, the RCTL PAUSE keystroke for the frame rate counter is no longer working.

Try LCtrl-Pause

[RogueSqdn]

Controls screen still says RCTL.

It won’t even work if I program it to a joystick button.

Strange, 

 

go to saved games dcs config folder, rename your inputs folder ( keep it as a backup )

 

then restart dcs and test with default controls, does it work?

 

thanks

[RogueSqdn]

I have tried that and it does not work. 
 

I should clarify that it will work as a voice attack command but only once I’m in flight. It will not work in the UI.

It has never worked for me assigning to a controller button.

I use LCTRL+Pause

[RogueSqdn]

LCTL PAUSE unfortunately won’t work either.

I believe I've tracked this problem down, and I don't think it's a DCS issue.

 

A few weeks ago, I got the Razer Huntsman v2 Analog keyboard.  That was around the same time I started having this FPS counter issue.  I disconnected the board and hooked up an older Razer Keyboard, the Blackwidow v3 Pro, and no longer have the problem.

 

Looks like Razer needs to work on their firmware, at least in regards to the PAUSE key.  The Huntsman v2's mute light doesn't work either.

 

EDIT:  I still can't map it to a joystick button, but the keystroke works now.  There must be some DCS issue picking up this command when mapped to a joystick button.

Yes, it's never worked for me on any HOTAS, either. Good job VR headsets have nose gaps!

I always used LCTL PAUSE, but with today's change (2.7.0.5659) RCTL PAUSE was assigned and I had to reassign it to LCTL PAUSE.

the nVidia GPU control panel can add an FPS counter to anything.

This issue seems to have fixed with 2.7, and the movement of several commands to UILayer.

 

Personally, I think everything from the General category should be in UILayer, as well as Active Pause.

Can you put me in the right direction where to find that on the NCP?

It’s in GeForce experience  not in the control panel, you most lightly have GE already as it’s used for updating drivers etc. simply go to settings and you can set up the FPS counter, if you want some better info, you should install MSI afterburner and you can display FPS, GPU, CPU etc all with the flick of a button, gives you a good idea of how hard your pc is working with DCS

[Lange_666]

No GE here. I'll update manually and only selected parts. Most of the nVidia drivers are not to be bothered with as they don't offer any thing extra, and certainly not for older cards. If they come with new drivers it is mostly support for new games or for a new type of card and the extra stuff those new cards can deliver or bug fixes for these.

I do have MSI Afterburner but i only run that when i really want to know something. The less stuff that runs in the background, the less problems.
