OK I appear to have solved the issue. after several un-necessary reinstalls and a lot of searching, I appear to have stumbled across the fault by accident. so it may have been this or a combination of things I had setup that it didnt like. My IL2 game is on steam. Just for the record. I reset and re-installed Oculus Tray tool, and made sure ASW was 'off', (supersampling on OTT is PC dependent, but I have that set to 1.5 in any case) still wasnt working, adjusting IL2 settings provided a few extra frames on its own by configuring settings, but not enough for smooth play. Seeing as there are many ways to boot a VR/VR supported game, and Oculus software relies on Steam Vr also. I started experimenting with different boot up methods. instead of booting through Oculus and allowing that to open steam, I loaded steam and Steam VR, and booted it IL2 through Steam VR. instead of relying on Oculus to start the process. Seems Oculus software failed to load Steam VR correctly somehow (Just for IL2, all my other games and apps work fine booting through Oculus), my PC appears to have been treating IL2 as a background task. even though in task manager, it was on the primary list. I have reset all my Steam VR settings to default, and am using OTT now to configure the sampling and graphics., so VR resolution in Steam is just set to 100% even though my PC can totally handle more. So the process I followed was: Open OTT (Tray Tool) Open Oculus Boot up Steam VR in Oculus Load IL2. Its a faff, but that process appears to be working. happy 80FPS all day today... I have also managed to max out the settings in IL2 as well, and it still runs 80fps, so its 100% a software issue and not hardware. However, and I never fully understood this, but in the IL2 settings I am now using MSAA, instead of FSAA.

Salute, I am pleased to present my first scenario based DCS mission "Downed Pilot". I have tried to incorporate planes for all roles (Really sorry FT but I could not find anything for the I-16 can we tempt you into something else? happy to adjust the mission for you). All we need to do is to find a night to host it on? Suggestions welcome. Thanks to DD_Fenrir for assistance with some of the techie bits. I hope the scenario works, but as it is my first go at this sort of thing I am sure you will forgive me if it does not quite go as I think it will....... The full mission briefing is shown below; PILOT DOWN Last night whilst returning from a mission, Captain Bruce Williams (call sign "Brewster") was shot down but ejected safely. His data shows that his plane crashed North East of Pokyesh (Grid Ref GH1141). Captain Williams also activated his personal tracker which shows he headed South East during the night covering approximatley 12km. His track is availble on the mission map. His last reported position was at 04:00 this morning just North East of Achigvara (Grid Ref GH12). No further track has been recorded so we can only assume that as light started to break he has gone to ground in this area. We will therefore focus our seach in this location. A search zone has been marked on the mission map. The Captain is one of our most senior and experienced pilots and know he will deploy SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) training. He will fire 2 ORANGE flairs when he has visual contact with the search teams and also set off an ORANGE smoke canister. The recovery helicopters should land close to this position. Capt Williams may also place some sort of ground marker to assist with the pick-up point. Look out for anything unusual in the area. Once you have landed, Captain Williams will break cover and come out to the LZ. He must be recovered at all costs. The enemy are active in this zone both in the air and on the ground and will be out to stop his return. Good luck Gentlemen. High Command and Captain Williams are counting on you to pull this off. TASK ASSIGNMENTS ============ F14's from CVN-75 "Harry S Truman" and will provide air intercept protection. F16's from Senaki-Kolkhi will be tasked with air intercept and ground attack to remove the threat from the ground to air defence systems. OV-10 "Bronco" to provide close air support to the recovery team and tasked with surpressing enemy ground search teams. F5-E "Tiger" is tasked with hitting local area HQ's and assisting with attacking ground targets. AH-64D "Apache" will escort the Huey recovery team and offer additional protection. UH-1H "Huey" will be the main recovery team that lands and picks-up Captain Williams.

some pix The scale model tanks looked really good.

I will try to be out of bed in time for this one ...

Sounds wonderful Colin, excited to give it a go. Thanks for the work and time you put into it.
