Attack the Tokyo Maru. ..

I have moved the DCS original .zip file out of the root, as to DCS finding the textures somewhere else, nobody else has flagged this as a problem so I will continue to try and track down the cause. Many thanks for suggestions.

At a fixed manifold pressure (and mixture), engine shaft power generally rises with RPM and peaks at the maximum permitted RPM. Accordingly, thrust power at the propeller, Pthrust=ηp Pengine, is also maximized there. However, in some cases a small RPM reduction (with a constant-speed prop) can increase net thrust power if the drop in helical/tip Mach moves the blades out of the transonic regime and boosts propeller efficiency enough to outweigh the modest loss in engine power. This is more likely at higher altitudes and higher true airspeeds, where the speed of sound is lower and tip Mach numbers are higher.

I don't use the DCS FPS Limiter. I've been using rivatuner instead. Finer adjustments (ie, not jumping by 5fps) , and I can make changes to it if needed in realtime without having to close mission.

So far no, none of the elevators of Enterprise or Essex SCB125 are animated. We're currently trying out lights for night operations and some MOOSE based showcase for the mod at large. No plans to animate the elevators currently. Cheers, TeTeT

Great news!!!

Yeah sure, it tricks your brain. I got totally used to it with my standalone HMD. But to describe the effect better - i would call it the "old man" filter. Everything reaction time based get's "stretched and smoothed out" in time. Something like this. Stuff becomes more unresponsive. It becomes extremely obvious in helicopter takeoffs, like with the AH64. I have a full HOTAS in a seat, so i have to work with all arms and feet to coordinate a clean takeoff with cyclic, collective and pedals. You have to do a lot of work with micro corrections and my fist takeoff with the PSVR2 was quite an experience after years with of streaming VR. @Qcumber Yeah, you have to take your whole system latency into account, add HOTAS device input latency and so on. In the end you'll have that huge latency chunk of VR streaming in the middle of that data pipeline, which is a massive bottleneck compared to everything else. Based on some old numbers i remember it's ~15ms if you are running with DP and controllers over USB. With streaming you end up with 60 ms and more (VD numbers do only show what is relevant to the VR streaming part), don't forget that DCS is CPU bound and you are putting extra work with streaming on it. More realistic would be 80 to 100 ms even with highend hardware.

So.. neue Frage Da DCS ja nach wie vor nicht in der Lage ist den Trottle wie in der Realität nur via Achsenpositionen nachzubilden was den Start und das Abstellen betrifft und dafür wie es aussieht Schalter braucht hab ich da auch 2 Stück davon gefunden. Nach dem Start mit JFS is das Triebwerk ja auf 25%.. und wenn man mit der Maus dann da über den kleinen Hebel am Schubregler fährt kommt der Befehl "Schubhebel OFF/IDLE". So weit so gut. Mein Winwing hat jetzt 2 Buttons da auf der Achse. BTN1 ist ganz hinten am Anschlag, und wenn man über die Position hinaus geht ist dort BTN 30. Ich hab es jetzt mal so belegt dass "Throttle OFF" auf dem BTN1 liegt, und "Throttle IDLE" auf BTN30. Aber da tut sich gar nix. Weder startet die Maschine weiter, noch geht sie aus wenn sie rennt. Hab dann den BTN30 mal als "Throttle OFF/IDLE" auch definiert, auch hier, keine Reaktion im Game. Ich muss nach wie vor mit der Maus auf den kleinen Hebel klicken damit das Ding angeht bzw dann auch wieder ausgeht Hat das wer von euch hin bekommen dass das dann rein durch Bewegung mit Hilfe der verstecken Buttons klappt oder ist das einfach noch nicht implementiert?

Thanks guys for the walkthrough. Managed to do it finally !

Kann es sein dass das Manual für den Apache seit 3 Jahren in Deutsch nicht mehr aktualisiert wurde? Oder bin ich zu blind die aktuelle Version zu finden?

Наткнулся на синхронный перевод того видео с запуском. Спасибо доброму человеку!

Понял, спасибо! Скачал кампанию отсюда. Там не 18 миссий, а 16. Судя по нумерации файлов, отсутствуют миссии № 2 и № 3.

You should be able to run the game at 0.8 image quality with the quadviews, which should give you a solid 60 FPS, depending on the map.

Yeah exactly. The fix is done and will be available as soon as new Phantom builds are published and make it your way. That has not happened yet but will hopefully soon be the case

Here's the missing axes that I plan to report. I've also found a few bugs (clock and KM-2 instrument). Please check if I forgot anything.

Well, the last F-4E patches from Heatblur are from May 21st. The fix was confirmed June 30. So the fix might have made it but the HB patches are still to come. Let's w8&c

So the fix might not have made it? Issue is still present

This is the new “industry standard” - eternal early access. People keep buying EA because that’s all there is. It is not a matter of patience because the full release will never come, or come when the game/module is outdated and irrelevant. The warbirds sim market is currently at a low between the tides. The previous major product has moved on to Korea era, and while it has a Mosquito its outdated interface, ridiculous key binding scheme, and no clickable cockpits, make it a no-go for me. There are some new sims preparing to enter the market, but they are still not ready - the competition will be most welcomed! I actually came to DCS just because of the Mosquito module, as soon as it was announced. Non of the new sims will have a Mosquito for many years ahead - the DCS module is all we will have at a high sim level. Luckily, my other “must have” is F6F Hellcat, and this is expected to be offered by at least one promising new sim. If they make it in time, I may consider not getting “early access” from DCS.

Sorry, I know it's a little bit off topic, but will the MIG-29 available with such a German paint scheme ?

Albania

A lot can be reused in the works but it's still new external model, whole new rear cockpit, FM, DM, MP synch code, liveries...

Не, не охватил. На всё интересное не хватает времени, симулятор наш огромен! Скриптами много ништяков уже существует. Включая полную подмену ATC. Но скриптами.

At a steady 72fps, VD has a latency of about 35-40 ms which includes game, encoding, networking and deciding latencies. I presume that with DP the only major latency is game latency? So with a maximum game latency of 13.8 ms (to maintain 72 fps) the overall DP latency would be about 20 ms. Am I working this out correctly? I don't know what the latencies are through oculus link cable, but the bitrate is 960 mbps h264 vs 150 mbps HEVC10 with VD. So I presume the latency would be a bit less with oculus link!? Do these latencies affect eye tracking? Is the tracking better through DP vs a link with compression?

Comparing the Quest 3 and the Crystal Super on a system with a 9800X3D and a RTX 5090 is … silly I think. I have a 9950X3D (which in games I understand is comparable to 9800X3D) and a RTX 5090 - and I have both the Quest 3 and Crystal Super. The difference in is huge. I understand that Pimax has a pretty low requirement for the Super on their website. Personally I think that is misleading. I personally wouldn’t run it on a system without a RTX 5090 and a good CPU. Maybe a 4090. I have a system with a 4090 too (see signature), but for me that is unsatisfying… You CAN run it on a lower end system, and obviously you do. But I think it is a waste of money because you are missing out on what the Crystal Super has to offer, why it even exists- and you might as well spend your money elsewhere. I understand your concern, because first - the Crystal Super is super expensive- and paying for a RTX 5090 is very very expensive too. Is it worth it? For me - yes. But I am an older dude, Flight sims has been my hobby since 1983, and the investment didn’t bother me as much. 15 years ago I could not have afforded it. Yes, you can super sample the Quest 3 more with a RTX 5090 than with your 3080. It will run a lot better of course than with your present graphics card. But still - physically the Crystal Super has 327% more pixels than the Quest 3 to show…. But with your 3080 you don’t get the experience that is intended with the Crystal Super. What should you do? Don’t know. It’s a lot of money. Maybe enjoy what you have, or try to get a “cheaper” second hand RTX 4090 and enjoy your Quest 3 even better. The Quest 3 gets quite an uplift going from a 3080 to a 4090. Especially since the rest of your system is good.

Ты летал кампанию Arctic Thunder за F-16? Там взаимодействие с наземным персоналом сделали почти божественно. Естественно скрипты, но это показывает то, что в теории возможно.
