All Activity

Whilst I haven't tried this myself, I would consider the Quest 3 and use its pass-through feature that enables you to mix VR and the real world. For all other cockpit switches that you do not have physical switches for, use the Quest 3, HTCC and Slugmouse. As I said, I haven't tried this myself, so it would be prudent to seek the views of someone experienced with the Quest 3 and pass-through. Or ditch the Win Wing kit and go Quest 3, HTCC and Slugmouse - fully VR. As I like to fly a variety of airframes, I find that this is the best option.

It is really good advice to watch some videos on basic helicopter principles first, them some flying tutorials. Of course nothing keeps you from diving into the deep end and just hold-my-beer it in DCS. I mean, you can't really die. But I would recommend the first approach.

Там тесты без пилонов и с пилонами.Тесты скорее всего проводили без задушенных по T4 двигателями

Hi, I have been DCS F18 for about one year now with v large quality screen and Wing Wing HMD ,DDI' throttle and stick so all up normal high end set up. I am tempted by VR and want to know what is the best set up for the way forward. Quest 3 seems good but how do I utlise the wonderful DDI and instrument set up in front of me. Cutting face mask to look down nose seems not for me maybe and the look thru I am told is not great ( especially compared to the w/wing panels in front of me so I am asking for advice and have narrowed my choice to the following but am I right or wrong as there is good money at stake here. 1) Quest 3 and use look thru or try and get point control but I am retired so I may be dead by the time it arrive 2) Second hand Varjo Areo with "Slugmouse" but not sure what tracking programs I need to add to this. 3) Something else ??? Is the second option the best long-term as I may then sell on my existing set up if this option is future-proof for the next five years maybe

The main problem with different helicopters is that US/western helicopters have their main rotor turn in the opposite direction than eastern/some european models. In DCS that would be the Huey, Apache, Kiowa on one side and the Gazelle and Hip on the other. That's not a problem per se, but you need to apply anti-torque pedal to the opposite direction, which of course messes up your muscle memory (especially if you are not already proficient with helicopter flying). The basic stick and rudder (and collectice) skills you need for a helicopter are fundamentally different from fixed wing (well, before ETL or transition speeds - beyond that it becomes similar). You need to constantly balance the three inputs. There is no inherent stability.

Вот вот

I did also pick up the Huey and Apache, as they were both on sale, if that helps? I saw a documentary about British Army pilots in the 90s, where they did a short course in a Chipmunk before going straight on to the Gazelle. Guess that was too much to hope for, eh!

Thats the core problem. Especially if you like to fly in a squadron it takes a lot of work to create good content to use those shiny toys, especially if you want to make it accurate in terms of real life strategies. Some day you feel like repeating yourself over ond over again. For me personally this is not an issue, since I´m quite new but I talk a lot to veterans who often skip missions because they´ve done it to often in the same setting. The potential is nearly endless but making the math they are often disillusioned and loose their faith in DCS getting finally there. With Cold War Germany we got a new playground with a lot of potential and also Afghanistan and Iraq added so much possibilities. But to create good content for those maps is a quite difficult job and you often hit walls in terms of immersion when you hear the atc or see AI bandits doing DCS AI things and therefore some of those veterans look for the better while accepting the lack of viriaty and visual fidelity. For me that is sad, because my expecience increases propotional to the number of active players.

I would reccomend DCS Retribution/Liberation to players who are waiting for dynamic campaign. It's IMO one of most infuential mod for DCS, and definitely worth trying, if You are into more immersive scenarios, but be advised, that enviroment with tens of AI planes, emphasizes all current issues with DCS that have to be fixed, before ED make their own DC. Some are mentioned taxi bugs, lack of sirious ATC, or AI killing themselves midair and bad fuel menagement, those to be alleviated first before DC. Also some AI modules have terrible AI, from bad BVR strategy, to crashing into the ground as wingman. You dont see those in scripted/paid campaigns or in small missions/training, but in anything resembling military operation, they are striking

It is also very old and has not been updated since the currenthill assets came into dcs officially.

Thank you man appreciated

There are a lot of differing perspectives being voiced here. One of ED's mantras is 'manage expectations' and this is, to some extent, a catch-all defence. Personally I think that ED is outstanding at creating super high fidelity modules but I feel that the 'game' is almost tacked on to the modules rather than the other war around, the same goes for the DC, instead of having an organic game driven by a dynamic campaign wherein you choose your FF modules to interact with this dynamic environment, we actually have a lot of beautiful, shiny toys that we (sometimes) struggle to find a use for and yes, this is purely my opinion. re. the DC, I simply hope it is released in my lifetime

I think there's an issue with DCS and Quadviews. The change in light/brightness and contrast can be seen also in day time with quad views and the big square outline in the foveated area - which is discussed elsewhere. Not so obvious, but it is there. Overall, in DCS, with or without Quadviews, I have to lower DCS gamma setting to 1.9 or else things look too blown out during daytime. I have not played much night time yet with my Super. I have been playing other games, like Le Man's Ultimate racing, and it looks good when driving at night. Also Skyrim VR with a Light mod that makes the nights and caves truly dark unless there are light sources nearby, also look good. They don't use Quad views. So I don't think it is hardware related. I will check out iRacing, which use Quadviews, and see what happens there during night driving-

No worries, our vision will be tailored specifically for DCS, we will share more about that when we are ready to. thank you

Please dont bump historic posts if it isnt going to be helpful. If you are having issues yourself I am happy to try and help. If you are still using the Quadro P4000 you could have a bottleneck. Either way please make a thread with your dcs log and dxdiag so we can try to assist you thank you

Copy, but I hope you got the point that your actual vision for a DC and how it will be unique is the core of my post.

Indeed, the vsTerminus Videos are awesome. Unfortunately he quit making videos a while ago, but the Mi-8 tutorials are still great! (and as Lace correctly pointed out, applicable to the Gazelle). (btw. the Mi-8 is the Helicopter that I learned flying on in DCS. Of course that is personal bias, but I would choose the Hip over the Huey everyday. But this is also because I'm a sucker for the switchology in the Hip. No coldstart is more satisfying than the russian bus....)

Возможно еще и без пилонов

I just want a MiG23 AI units that doesn't look like it's from a Duke nukem 3d game from 93. The 23 would be the main Soviet fighter for east block and arab nations until at least mid late 80s. But it looks so bad i refuse to use it. So I don't have the main soviet made fighter of the 70s to mid 85s. It really shouldn't take that long to make a AI unit. Same goes for the AI Su17/22 the main tactical fighter bomber for the east/arab forces from mid to end of Cold War.

Yes I too highly recommend vsTerminus. Furthermore he focused on the Mi8 which require the same direction imput for the yaw axis. Don't forget to use the flight controls indication and be soft on the controls, choppers don't like at all aggressivity

Тут тогда снова возникает вопрос, как быстро догонит МиГ-29 у земли B-1B...

Так на ПФ тем более

I saw that it will be in October, so perhaps very soon :), so far, no template for MiG-29A FF: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/texture_templates/filter/aircraft-is-mig-29/apply/. By the way, has anyone checked whether the model is also encrypted and cannot be opened in Model Viewer 2?

It seems that every time someone complains about performance issues with AH-64 the 'best' answear is to Disable the HotPlug Well it seems that this sale will not be the time I'm buying Apache module!

Ну так разгон идет на режиме ПФ, а есть тестограмма полета для сравнения ?
