Crash

Just ran 3Dmark Timespy and Port Royal and temps are fine on both GPU and CPU. When I quit the game last night and took the headset off the monitor showed the Il-2 hanger screen with a Windows message Il-2 not responding. I dont know anyone with a 3090 or 4090 but as 3Dmark ran fine its not a hardware issue. I am now looking for a VR test/benchmark app.

Having a re-think and will probably start from scratch again as I need to have a friction adjustment for the collective lever.

sounds a great thing to do Delta

Dont forget to update GBS before trying to join a server.

That didnt solve it, however following a suggestion on th Il-2 forum I used display driver uninstaller and have just had a 20 minute flight on WW server I got 80-90 FPS constant so it looks hopeful.

Try double click.

try this TeamSpeak3-Client-win64-3.5.6.exe

Just had a very quick fly with the Zenmaster OC off and it seems to be OK in GBS and DCS. Will do more testing.

I have now got the Win10 media creation tool on a USB stick and will have another go with VR with the Zen oc software off. If that doesnt help then format and new Win 10 will have to be the way. If that dont work then its a new MB and back to Intel.

Will try tomorrow. Got to go binge drinking tonight Cant get worse!

It runs fine on flatscreen and doing photo editing. from what I have read VR NEEDs 5GHz and it used to run fine. If I reinstall Win10 and then change the MB to Intel if it has the same chipset as present would I still need to do a complete windows install?

So I decided to give DCS in VR a try to see if it ran OK. It didnt. As as I am not enjoying GBS in flat screen mode I need to do something about it. I dont have a restore point on my C drive so my options are limited. option 1 format C and reinstall Windoze and all my other stuff. Costs only time. option 2 go back to Intel and get a new MB. Reinstall everything. Costs some money BUT I am not that impressed with AMD bios and the overlocking arrangements. So IF I have to do a new install of Windows I might as well go back to Intel Any thoughts? Current CPU Ryzen 5900X and an MSI carbon MB.

sounds good.

3.1.8 at the moment

Hello Bucky Same as it was a long time ago. some of the old names are now missing but we are still doing it.

Have you seen this Colin?

WHY? The MSFS I can just understand, but the other two. shakes head and walks away.

Has nobody else got any thoughts? Please chip in.

There are so few of us who fly GBS anyway. I cant do Wednesdays for either sim but lets keep Mondays for those who want to do DCS. I read Fens we need to talk thread again and it seems that nothing has changed, I also looked at threads from 15 years ago and we had a lot of Canadians and Americans flying with us then JP,Artie,Pooka,BadAim,Tonar, Steaks and many others. The time zones havent changed.

No Colin quite the opposite. I need an excuse to really start with DCS and I hoped that one of the nights would be swapped. Would the DCSers fly on Sunday or Tuesday? Has anyone asked? What about a trial period to see if numbers improve.

To be honest Col, I cant see why no change was an option. DCS flyers who dont want to do GBS on Tuesdays or Sundays would get an extra DCS night, I dont know why they would vote for no change. I dont think it was a choice of dropping either Monday or Thursday. Still a bit miffed.

what did you mistakenly buy?

Still a bit disillusioned about numbers and i dont feel that 3 or 4 people are enough to do coops. I still want to do DCS but offline isnt as good and although I might be able to do 1 night a month on Thursdays that isnt a satisfactory solution. Does the vote to keep the nights as they were mean that DCS on a Sunday or Tuesday are out because people cant make it?

I found corrosion issues on some of the soldered joints , so I have decided to move the Leonardo to the main body and change some switches for better ones. Pix will follow when the deed is done.

You cant beat a bit of stupid PS check the PSU requirements, sockets etc.
