    New Controller Hardware

    in Jim's Place

    Posted

    I've been a baaaaad boi....
    VKBF-14+FFBVPForceRhino1.jpgVKBF-14+FFBVPForceRhino2.jpg

     

    That's a VPForce Rhino base, a 20cm Virpil cranked extension, a VKB MkIII adapater and a VKB F-14 grip.

    Still waititing on a VKB Black Box controller to allow the grip to connect to the PC and then I will be obliged to indulge in some rather brutal furniture modifications (calling my woodworking skills carpentry would be an insult to the trade) to (a) provide a solid mounting surface so it doesn't throw itself around like some demon-possessed jack in the box, (b) provide an arrangement that will also trap the office chair roller wheels so as not to propel me away from the PC whenever I try and use my rudder pedals and (c) allow full free and unrestriced movement to the stick (currently the desk and the chair occlude it's movement).

    Time for a little surgery...

    Issues With The DCS Server

    in DCS Series

    Posted

    2 hours ago, FoolTrottel said:

    All done with reinstall, but it does not look like it made any difference, or not much... CPU load while running DDServerPersianGulf-1000hrs is still very high at 12 to 14%, even with no one connected.

    Could be that it is caused by 'new stuff' running by Rog...  I cannot tell.

     

    Thank you FT for all your hard work. I owe you a beer next time you're over here.

    With regards performance for some of those flying the F-4 it should be noted that Heatblur pre-empted todays patch with a bunch of changelog notes specifically for the Phantom; it makes enlightening reading. Here's some snippets that could explain a few things, particularly those I have highlighted in bold:

    Quote

    Performance: Major improvements to Radar raycasting performance, especially on busy MP servers

    Performance: Radar thread affinity changed - may increase performance where the main thread was saturated on busy servers or missions

    Performance: Fixed Object Cache being over-saturated causing severe performance loss on busy missions with thousands of objects

    Performance: NEW: Added special option to reduce radar performance impact - can improve CPU performance on lower end CPUs at the cost of some additional visual noise and clutter on the radar screen

    Performance: Fixed INS, ADI and other various system bugs with the “Reduced Tickrate” option enabled

    Performance: Refactored some JESTER code paths that may have caused lowered performance when an enemy was nearby

    Well gents, after months of head scratching, software fiddling, driver updating, setting changes, etc, I think I've finally cracked it with my CTD and BSOD issue.

    Thanks to everyone for chipping in over the past few months with ideas, threads, articles, moral support and welcome ridicule as I've got more and more fudged off.

    Last Thursday, prompted by Kev's suggestion (cheers!), I ran the rig with the new pair of RAM sticks removed, leaving the original older pair. For those online at the time, you recall it was the first time since the upgrades I had a evening without DCS crash or BSOD.

    Today, after some testing, it appears that just by switching the locations of the old and new modules, I can run the full 64GB and the crashes are gone. CPUZ shows timings all match and I ran some RAM stress tests without a single error.

    After putting DCS through its paces in VR, both online and offline, all seems to be well and the smoothest it has been.

    More importantly, the weird resolution noise / deterioration I've experienced in VR since the upgrade has completely disappeared and I've reset the slices registry entry back to default.

    Finally, hopefully, I can enjoy my Thursdays again :salute:
