Have you recently updated nVidia drivers at all? I know it's been creating issues with p3d, not sure about DCS though.
Looks like it’s 2.7 DCS was rock solid until I updated. Looking at the forums plenty of others in the same boat. It is a beta after all so will just wait it out.LimaDelta said:
After waiting a bit I've decided to give it a go. So far it's been downloading all day at a heady 0.7MBps. I'm hearing conflicting reports of performance gains or losses, so I thought I'd try it and see. This will at least make the new hardware decision easier, one way or another.
It's finished. Only 22 hours in the end!LimaDelta said:

It's finished. Only 22 hours in the end!Only had a quick fly so far. Clouds are definitely going to add a lot more realism for sure, not noticed much else so far, but the performance seems unchanged for me, no better, no worse. Happy so far.

My reply above contains "so far" three times, which really annoys me looking back.
Anyway, Back to DCS, the main reason I went back to the Beta was for the incoming Hind as much as the clouds, otherwise I would have happily waited until the release version was updated. After the disaster which was the last big update I sacked off openbeta. I haven't had any crashes yet though I am getting the dreaded Rift S black-screen-of-death (though 2.5.6 did that too sometimes). I'm going to reinstall the Oculus software again later today and hopefully that will fix it again.

Been neglecting my Rift a bit of late since I purchased a DELANCLiP I miss the VR but not fumbling around on the keyboard !Anyway, Back to DCS, the main reason I went back to the Beta was for the incoming Hind as much as the clouds, otherwise I would have happily waited until the release version was updated.
