I use the standard passive clip as well. No need to hassle with charging or battery. Always works great. I have the camera straight in front of me on the top of my TV on the same level as my cap is when I look straight ahead (cockpit and real live, it is pointed directly at it. I found that gives me the biggest range of motion before loosing track.

Thanks, now this is stuck in my head….. …and somehow forms a medley with “unknown stuntmen” ….

I absolutely love it! Two questions however: You used some time acceleration for showcase, right? Or can we expect actual fast cloud movement with winds? Does it properly sync in multiplayer? (Both/all parties need the mod of course)

Electric Jet - Viper Steam Gauges - Mirage F1 Warbird - Corsair Helicopter - Mi-8 (Some are actually close ties. Ask me tomorrow and you may get a slightly different list) I love different Aircraft for different traits and the mood of the day determines my company.

I got some basic 2.5" Sata SSDs. I don't think you necessarily need the fastest PCI4/5 M2 SSds for a good experience. As long as it isn't an 'ol spinning HDD.... Saved games / OS and DCS are on fast NVME SSDs though.....

I have two dedicated 2 TB SSds for flightsims. One for DCS and one for "the other". But since "the other" moved to streaming with the 2024 version (which seem to work well for me), I got some headroom for DCS. Friendly reminder to whom it may concern. SSDs shouldn't be filled to the brim. 75% max at best...... otherwise they will age fast (wear leveling etc....) ...and get slow....

Is there a spot of bright sunligjht somewhere behind you? that can throw off the tracking. Otherwise the only idea I have it to make sure that the reflectors or IR-Leds are properly aligned with the camera..... Are you using an active head piece with IR leds? Maybe one is broken..... or battery is dying....

just giving options. No judgements. I myself, would upgrade storage of course.....

@Europa there are ways to deal with that. Like Symlink or Virtual Drives (both functions of windows). But ultimately you need the physical storage (preferable SSD) for DCS.

What happens when you press the re-center in the TrackIR control screen? Still doesn't properly center?

Uninstall maps. Otherwise - no. ...and it will further increase in size with new maps and modules incoming. So either skip some of that or live with the storage needs.

That’s exactly the point. I can think of a list of things I’d like to have in DCS that is longer than a Germanistic student’s thesis, but it is all about priorities. Not mine mind you, or yours, but what is important and suitable for DCS as ED seems fit.

I know. But taking apart theories can also be interesting. I’d argue that for most helicopter it is impossible even theoretically. Other than fixed wing aircraft, helicopter are very limited in regards to speed (and I don’t mean by power or by run up, but by the blades going super sonic) and g-forces. To successfully do a loop you will probably run of one or the other or both.

Very theoretically, yes. In practice - no. There is a reason that a Bo-105 is used by Red Bull for stunt flying. It is light and sufficiently fast and powerful. But most importantly it has a rigid rotor head. And despite that, it still burns through spare parts at an alarming rate. A Robinson e.g. will never reach sufficient speed, nor has it enough power to ever do a successful looping. Others may get there once, but will be a case for heavy maintenance afterwards.

Then you probably can’t really tell if the TADS has an impact (which it has). You just happen to stay over the threshold for v-sync to step down. Any evaluation of performance impacts should be done without any fps locks in effect (like v-sync or fps caps). Otherwise it’s pointless.

Bin mit nicht sicher ob das funktioniert, wenn hotplug deaktiviert ist. Werde ich mal probieren!

What people often fail to realize is, that often FPS limits are enforced by CPU and reported as CPU limited. So if you want to tell what is really limiting your output frames you first need to make sure that no limit is enforced. VR (same as V-sync) usually tries to lock the fps at a given refresh rate (often 45 fps for a target output of 90 by reprojection). So if you were not able to reach that before your GPU upgrade it may have been locked @30 (reported as CPU bound even though the GPU was the real bottleneck.

1. can‘t tell without seeing it 2. Probably too heavy and not at the right altitude. You won’t reach M2 at sea level….. (not even close)

Meinst Du den vielleicht den Kopf im Spiegel? Für head tracking mit trackIR brauchst Du im game selber gar nichts einstellen soweit ich mich erinnere. Das funktioniert per default wenn TrackIR läuft (muss VOR DCS gestartet werden).

That‘s not confusing, CPU is working much harder in VR than in 2D. The VR tax is even bigger for CPU than GPU.

Are you using v-sync?

Only problem is, I don‘t own any WW devices and have nothing left to disconnect. This website is simply a typical MS product - crap…..

Indeed the BE has some advantages to it, that the vacuum cleaners don’t. Including but not limited to an afterburner…. The L-39 is a fine aircraft, I have nothing against it. But when training is your goal you have to make a decision. There have been lethal real world accidents caused (or supported) by the fact that the accident pilot has transitioned from eastern instrumentation to western standards (mainly the attitude indicator). Usually in the DCS environment I have no problem transitioning across aircraft (west and east), however I very rarely fly in real IMC. I did a night flight in heavy clouds across the whole map once in A C-101 (so the whole flight from T/O to landing was IFR). Without AP and the poor inherent stability the DCS FM offers, that was a VERY exhausting and frankly quite scary task. I can easily imagine how a Russian Attitude Indicator would have killed me…..

Then I would definitely go for the C-101. It has one caviat though - it has no AP, only FD. IFR can therefore be very exhausting. (that would be a point for the MB-339 when I think about it. But the systems failure simulation is the real crown jewel of the C-101 if that is your cup of tea.)

The free T-45 could also be an option. It literally IS a navy trainer.... (and therefore carrier capable, which the others are not)
