That timeframe would work just fine for me. 
Any other āSpikersā interested in joining?

I didnāt do thatā¦. but I will this morning. It seems I still have much to learn!
Not sure how related, and Iāve yet to have time to try the latest drop, but with the previous version I enabled SMT/HT[1] (I have an AMD 5900X) and things were noticeably smoother. Feels like with DCS things change so often that something that used to work (DISabling SMT/HT) no longer does and visa-vis. YMMV.

Unfortunately I wonāt be able to join until after the littles get to bed; Karenās on the coast teaching all weekend, so Iām solo.
Did a little testing last night and was pleasantly surprised by the ground AI updates. Not sure if it was unreported part of the update but my convoys route finding seems way better. No longer are convoys getting stuck in cities and on bridges. I was able to sneak up on several groups reasonably and was not instakilled by multiple BTR-82s. Iām curious to see if the Apache is now more viable.

You are quite right. Your app still reigns superior. Bravo zulu on kicking out a new version so quickly sir!

So it seems the trick with disabling/enabling CPU cores I used when the first 2.9 update dtopped, fixes the stutters for me with MT executable. I wonder if ED is going to ever fix this.

Same. MT is a big improvement over the default exe.
And our feathers were ruffled over a delay. Shame

So, what is the drill here for this? Via Task Manager or something?
Yup. When you start the mission open Tadk Manager, go to details tab (2nd one from the right) find DCS World process, right click, set affinity, disable half of the cores, enable them back, repeat for the second half of the cores, done. In the end you can do this with only one core, for me itās the last one but YMMV.

Canāt you set an affinity mask directly on the EXE? Sounds tiring to have to do it on the process level.
Maybe you can plug in a PowerShell script to apply the mask and have SkateZillaās Utility run it after starting DCS.
I didnāt even look at the new launcher yet. With all the reports of bugginess, I just added this to the extra commandline args field in Skatezillaās updater utility:
--no-launcher
If people start saying it is as good as Skateās thing, Iāll give it a chance
Perhaps I am being too dumb, but why exactly do you need a launcher? I have two icons on my desktop, one for VR and one for 2D. If I want to play the game I just double click them. What is a launcher good for?

If youāre a poor like me, it allows you to change the graphics settings (including presets) before launching the game. I need that for VR vs pancake use.
The mask alone would not work, since the trick is to disable and then enable the core. But perhaps the script that automates it would. But it has to be done after you load into a mission. So no much less work anyway.

For me its because my DCS broke years ago and would not start any other way than to be launched from Skatezillas app.
This app update has been in the works since October,
it was being held back because things were integrated into it for DCS that werenāt public at the time.

Does it keep reverting to easy comms for you after youāve unclicked it? (does for me on each restart).
