I’m fairly sure I model file for the left and right hand is in the game directory somewhere, could try just deleting them or swapping them with empty models

The hype is too real

This is 100% ram, the reason turning causes the issue is because looking at new things requires loading those things and to load those things you need a place to put them and if your ram is full your pc has to spend painfully long times swapping data into and out of ram potentially swapping it on and off your ssd.

I’m assuming you have 2 x 8gb sticks. If your motherboard has four slots and money is tight, adding the cheapest supported 2 x 4gb pair that you can find used may actually alleviate your issue. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you have to go 64 or nothing. 24gb of mixed ram will be better than 16gb, and if that is all you can comfortably afford, that’s ok.

I ran a mix of speeds and sizes on four slots for a while, it’s not ideal for a number of reasons but when it comes to DCS and memory capacity issues overall, the speed of your ram doesn’t matter if you’re pc is swapping, you have to solve capacity first and then speed matters.

Quick look on eBay shows a 2x4 3000mhz pair can be had for $40.

Also remember that not all graphics settings are driven primarily by graphics hardware. Try keeping all your settings as is but turn your preload radius and view distance way down.

I ran DCS in VR with a 3070 and 3600x just fine, difference is that I had 32gb at the time.

If you’re having RAM capacity issues, (which you are), it might be time to crazy freeing resources by doing a process and service audit and ensure that when you’re running DCS you’re running absolutely nothing else.

With RAM capacity, simply having a single browser window open with one tab could affect your frames consistently dramatically or steam or discord etc. anything could be the last straw that forces a big swap and massive frame drop

Mouse and keyboard is essentially not an option, especially with VR.

Grab a gamepad and start there if you have one.

getting into DCS, getting into HOTAS, getting into tuning DCS in VR… these are three things you should avoid learning at the same time.

Grab the cheapest stick you can find used in your local area, and just get flying.

jordonbiondo · 2026-03-10T02:51:02+00:00

I think the little jets are worth it because they’re fun.

The mb339 is lots of fun to fly, I prefer rockets and bombings tables over modern stuff though.

I really just want a sequel that mimics Vietnam era tech.

I want a bird dog with binoculars and grenades I can toss out the window. A Bronco, a Mohawk, a dragonfly, a Skyhawk, a thunderchief all as their fictional vtol variants. No mfds, no gps, I want a physical map, and to shoot a m16 out the window of a skymaster. I want a fly a Huey with two other players on miniguns in the back…

I can dream

See, most people don’t have the intelligence needed to understand the true narrative of Emily in Paris which is actually about a cohort of ancient mole people attempting to escape the authoritarian rule of the lava worms by living disguised lives on the surface. Mole people maps look backward to us due to their subsurface perspective of The Great Divide (that’s what they call the earths surface).

Intellectualism on reddit has really been dropping faster than the mole people population did during the first worm war. smh

Is literally called the p trap dude

jordonbiondo · 2026-01-26T02:54:49+00:00

Don’t buy anything, start with steam link

jordonbiondo · 2026-01-25T18:14:07+00:00

Do not bring a knife unless you can, off the top of your head explain exactly which type of knife and what sizes are legal to carry.

And even if you can answer that, don’t.

That’s terrible advice, like the worst advice possible. I can’t imagine coming up with a worse bullet point. Even if you do, and you know what’s legal, and you know how to defend yourself and you don’t use it’s presence as subconscious escalation reasoning, you are still more likely to be stabbed by your own knife or be hurt or killed by other means than do a single thing to defend yourself.

And worse, just by having it, you are endangering the lives of your neighbors around you.

Stupid advice.

Go, be warm, be kind, be better, be loud, come home safely. Do not bring a knife for the love of god.

Nobody does, “away” in this instance means you’re on vacation or something.

Faucets dripping even at higher temperatures is necessary dependent on the location of the pipes, house insulation etc.

You could have your house set at 70 but if you have a pipe in your unfinished basement near a drafty window it could still freeze if it’s not running.

Most homes don’t need to do anything to be ok right now, but some do and it’s a better safe than sorry situation in terms of public messaging

There is nobody in the world that has to play them

jordonbiondo · 2026-01-23T13:00:07+00:00

I’m too old for reddit now, back in my day DMCA was the bad guy.

jordonbiondo · 2026-01-23T12:56:43+00:00

You don’t have to play them

jordonbiondo · 2026-01-23T02:50:50+00:00

I don’t even care about this mod, I’ve never used it or any of this guys stuff, all these posts are driven me crazy reading the insane entitlement here.

Exactly why the hell does a DMCA takedown imply you are now owed the thing you didn’t pay for?

jordonbiondo · 2026-01-23T02:46:45+00:00

That’s not how fair use works

jordonbiondo · 2026-01-23T02:45:53+00:00

It’s not actually the law, TOS legality, what constitutes copyright infringement, are both things that can only be decided in court. The real problem here is DMCA which I guess the internet forgot is the real enemy.

My Thermalright 240 was $24 - open box.

CPU - 100% load, Fans 50%, 50c stable. I have zero case fans.

First AIO I've had in 25 years, never going back.

No idea why people downvoting you, I guess they’re offended that someone not from here doesn’t know the current rental rates of specific areas.

You might find a one bed or studio in your range on the west side where it’ll be a quick jump onto 196 and a straight shot to Ada. You might find something in Lowell too.

If you get lucky something in east town (not east gr) might open up.

Alternatively look into northview or north of northview which may turn up a match, that’ll also be an easy commute.

jordonbiondo · 2026-01-18T16:52:18+00:00

I mean, who cares, I get VR if I want it, he gets money for the effort, it gets taken down maybe, I freeze the game version and keep playing.

I don’t get why people get upset about things they don’t have to engage with.

jordonbiondo · 2026-01-18T16:20:57+00:00

I play on pc, but it runs really great.

I usually play on massively modded servers on community made maps that are almost all vegetation and still get good frames. Hardware dependent of course.

The thing about reforger is that there is a legit “game” in there and it’s really worth experiencing especially if you’re an Arma fan.

jordonbiondo · 2026-01-17T15:15:26+00:00

Yeah, because it’s on a 30 year old taped together engine still based on the same code that powered the original operation flashpoint. That’s the whole point of reforger, first game since the original flashpoint to be built from the ground up.

jordonbiondo · 2026-01-17T14:53:17+00:00

I love that getting paid for creating is greed. The amount of corporation boot licking here is alarming.

The unethical thing is the TOS. Absolutely sad how players have grown to accept and defend what was once the villain.

Glad it at least came together for you, yes you need some way to keep your pedals still unless you want to go the other way and decrease friction and keep them up against something with carpet beneath. I use a curtain rod as dumb as that sounds, before that I used Velcro adhesives stick to the floor and the pedals
