when the sim's FM is demonstrating the ability to routinely do such things that in reality are avoided because of likely death then yes it does demonstrate an FM is wrong.

No sim is perfect, but DCS is the better.

Truly a magnificent sight to behold, very significant event which the pilot basically exploited the simple trade off of speed and altitude to pull a 1g manoeuvre that all aircraft can technically do (it only becomes critical if you make a mess of it) But of course on certain forums this is not such a significant feat, a low level full aerobatic routine from take off in a He111 performed by any amateur sim pilot is a matter of routine.

Ah, a barrel roll.

what is a tonneau? I only know them as soft covers for the backs of pick up trucks.

Just upgraded my rig, went for an i7 4790k on a z97 chipset, GTX970 4GB, 16GB DDR3 RAM, no overclocking done yet but DCS is butter smooth in places I got stuttering before (over towns)

I read it as the problem was discovered by the British, not caused.

But the British only build the forward cockpit area, Germany build the centre fuselage section.

That I did not know, and the world starts to make a little sense again, thanks guys.

it does seem a touch unfair to have activation limits, by our nature gamers are going to upgrade hardware, suffer hardware failures etc and reactivation seems to be asked for 'any' change, do we actually have to buy the modules all over again if the activations run out?

I'm not a helo driver but understanding what a rotor brake is it sounds like a start of the engine with the main rotor braked (held fixed), which makes little to no sense to me and as the vid shows it puts a massive amount of instant torque on the drive.........why do it?

I know this equipment quite well, it is a release, I have a *cough* small collection of this sort of stuff, 2 MBU-20's and 5 MBU-12's (use the same com block)

it is simply a release for the 2 pin plug connected to it.

You can try to overclock the monitor, mine OC's at 75Hz no problem.

Don't forget DCS paint drying.

I can think of nothing more boring than exclusive shiny jets and BVR combat.

Consumer level Virtual Reality head mounted display, awesome bit of kit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculus_Rift

Something really curious about the pics of the crescent bay lenses is that they seem to incorporate 2 separate screen connectors, a screen for each eye?

Mk IX is being done by ED for DCS WWII and Mk XIV being done by VEAO.

Perfect time to withdraw from service a supreme ground attack aircraft, especially when the worlds current big threat comes from a fanatical religious army who have tanks.

Not sure what you disagree with, it seems to be what I said i.e. HOTAS and cockpit.

Best solution is to map the HOTAS decently, learn more about the cockpit systems and recognise them, you then no longer need the keyboard and can push it to one side when playing the sim.

Getting a bit 'clutch at straws', who on earth is going to try and get max turn performance with power at idle, bombs and tanks attached? lets see the list of stall speeds for the 190 with all those configurations and compare it then.

Not even close, it's $600 -$750 for a device that doesn't even have support, at least the oculus is aimed at the consumer market therefore the consumer software market is building support into their titles and the Oculus price point is targeted around $300 -$350.

Wow!.....someone at oculus really pissed you off, commercial VR has been around for decades and costs multiple thousands, Oculus are achieving exactly what they set out to do.
