Recluse

You can use a switch vs. momentary button on your HOTAS. I use my Speedbrake switch for the Laser and it continues to fire as long as the switch is in the position mapped to Detent 2

Hmmmm there were some F-15's buzzing around in that mission, but they were far away. Come to think of it, I didn't turn on the ASE page to see what it indicated. I was surprised the SA-5 didn't blow me out of the sky if it was detecting me, but I was pretty well masked by terrain. Going to have to try this again and see, Good information on the F-15 possibility.

Thought I would ask here before posting in the BUG forum (and recording a TRACK). I was flying a mission where there was an SA-5 site (I built the mission, so I am sure of the SAM type) but I got a warning of an SA-15 radar tracking. Bug in the voice sample? SAM database still a WIP? I did check the mission file to see if there were any SA-15's ANYWHERE, but there were NOT.

Thanks guys! I am just going to have to hop in the front seat if I want to see pretty pictures, or have another human in there to show them to me.

Ahh ok, thanks. So the Pilot View of the TADS is basically repeating the CP/G view who has control of the Sensor. That makes Sense, I guess. I am surprised the controls are even active for the Pilot MFD then. I get the W N Z selections on my display.

When I am in the Pilot seat and using GEORGE as gunner, I bring up the TADS in my Left MFD to see what he is targeting. Even when I hit the Z button on the display to ZOOM all the way, I can barely see the targets. Is there some other way to zoom the TADS in the PILOT MFD? I am most likely missing something...

I have mine set to the Right Eye as well, but it seems overly large compared to the way it sits in front of the cockpit frame in 2D. I will try to capture some images to explain what I mean. Others have complained about this, so it seems to plague a number of VR users. I found it got a little better when I DECREASED resolution...but, obviously, I want the highest resolution possible that allows good performance.

How is your IHADSS? Even when running well, I find it seems overly large/far away and I have trouble seeing the Altitude/VVI unless I look to the side or up

WOW!! I don't even go that high with other modules. For Apache, I settled on 80 Hz/1.0 (90 Hz/1.4 for other modules) But my specs aren't as good as yours: RTX 3070 i7-10700K 32 GB RAM SSD Indeed, I found that the Textures Medium was the key. (Have it at HIGH for the other modules)

Did you turn up the Lighting Switch? Worked for me in VR See this video:

It has ALT HOLD (not implemented yet, I think Matt Wagner said in his latest video on Post-release questions) and ATTITUDE hold on the FORCE TRIM switch. See Manual page 63 (In the manual both are shown as "TODO" so maybe neither one is implemented yet)

This is my understanding from the video.

Watch CASMO's tutorial. He explains that the lock is a pin that slides into a hole in the wheel. So after castering, the wheel needs to straighten out before the pin can drop in and lock it.

Having same issues. I have Rudder Pedals, but maybe they are a little out of calibration. Still I watched Casmo's video and he seems to be able to easily taxi straight with tail wheel locked. I also start spinning when I get the collective up to 35-37 or whatever they say in the Taxi/Transition training mission even with tailwheel locked.

Me too! I turned off the Monocle Frame in the SPECIAL tab and that helped a lot, but the IHADSS symbology is still a bit too BIG EDIT: Lowered my Resolution, and IHADSS is looking better sized. (And everything else still looks good) Might turn the Monocle frame back on and see how it looks now.

Hmmm, I went to do this and I saw another folder metashaders2 with access date of yesterday... does this get deleted too?

It did not run well on my Quest 2/3070. Got a little better when I cranked the resolution DOWN from my usual DCS settings. One thing I found was that the IHADSS symbology seemed way too LARGE I had trouble seeing the Altitude as it seemed to be occluded by the cockpit ironwork and the IHADSS seemed to overflow the area of the cockpit glass. Maybe there is a setting for this? I also found the monocle piece that looks like a mirror sticking out that shows up on the right a little too intrusive, but it might be better if I could get the framerate up a bit. EDIT: Turned monocle frame off and it was a little better but still symbology looked too big. Might try the LEFT eye and see if it is any better. Well, I am going to watch some videos and read the manual in case I missed some settings.

So I jumped in and took off with a boot full of left pedal and then managed to get going and flew pretty easily. Then I checked the settings and saw that I had that FFB INSTANT TRIM on. I changed it to the Central Position Trimmer mode, and was all over the place. Of course I hadn't bothered to map any TRIM controls or learn how to use them It seems to me that the FFB Instant Trim setting is kind of a cheat code for flying.. Hovering and landing, not so much

OK got it! I figured I was missing something!

I misunderstood... content removed. See Nealius's post below.

I saw this image on the RAZBAM discord. For AV8B NA Harrier, of course... The "improvement" looks to me like a WORSE image closer to reality rather than an "improvement" to FLIR quality in DCS. Not sure what to think about it.... LEFT = NEW Right = Current

Thank you for the reply!! At least it confirms my thoughts. I found some workarounds using lesser used HOTAS buttons that don't interfere too much with normal functions when being used for Menu Nav, but I may look into some other utilities. DCS Menu Nav is true gift to VR users!!!

That WORKED!!! Many thanks!!!!

Thanks!! I will give that a try!

My experience too. I tried mapping the Recenter VR view, and it works if I am a little off in the Menus or Controls Screen, but once I get into the F/A-18, the view is down and to the right. Hitting RECENTER VR puts me back there every time, so it MUST have gotten saved that way somehow and I cannot figure out how to reset it. I did save the view with RALT-NUM0 when it was correct, and I COULD retrieve it with LWIN-NUM0 to recall the SNAP VIEW, but that was only as long as I held the key combo down. Every time I exit and re-enter the cockpit I get the skewed view. I cannot seem to change the @#$ default view.
