Q3ark

The old tgp needing a restart was a bug iirc

Is that the window with the drawing tools in it?

When in VR the input window where you can write appears at the front of your view where the jester wheel normally appears. It’s a bit inconvenient but it’s apparently a limitation of the DCS engine.

Don’t you think the design teams and engineers have been through all this? It’s fun to imagine what would I do in their shoes but these people know what they are doing. When is the last time you heard of a screen failing in an aircraft? This isn’t new technology any more.

Grease pencil works in VR, I was using it yesterday. The only issue is the input window appears at the front in the same place as the jester wheel but that’s a DCS limitation.

Turns out I had set the aircraft wear to 45% when I created the mission file. Just for the fun I set it to 100% to see what that would do.... On one occasion the Pave Spike actually zoomed out further when i tried to go to 4X zoom which i thought was hilarious.

That’s nuts about the gun camera, forward vis out of the phantom already sucks with the rwr display and the equipment for the pave spike up there. mcdonnell douglas really didn’t care too much about pilot ergonomics when they developed the phantom.

For the people having trouble, what headsets are you using? I’m still using my old valve index and don’t have any trouble with the cockpit being too dark. also don’t forget the phantom is terrible for cockpit ergonomics, it is / was dark, with controls and instruments in dumb places (ger and flap indicators). There’s a reason they don’t make them like this any more.

Thanks for the reply. I went through the last few patch notes and didn’t see anything about changes but I didn’t think about the aircraft condition state, I’ll check the mission editor next time I load up dcs.

Anyone noticed that the pave spike zoom has changed? The below images show the current amount the image zooms in (left narrow FOV, right wide FOV) while in the tutorial video by RedKite which I've also linked, shows how much zoom you used to get when the F4 released. It used to zoom all the way in so you couldn't see the FOV circle. null

Dude the issue is the weapon list for stations 2 and 8 is huge and doesn't fit on the screen, a log isn't going to tell you anything and it's definitely not mod related. These lists were probably never envisioned to be so large but they are now and need a scroll bar.

Are ED ever going to address this issue? I know you guys have told them about it but they are clearly not interested. Perhaps it’s on the list behind all the super carrier work that needs to be done (5 years and counting) …..

That’s very fitting. In RN service she was called HMS VENERABLE and had a squadron of Corsairs on board.

This has been my observation too, something needs tweaking there.

The HUD could even have a fuzzy cover over it when we cold start the jet…. Also recommend adding optional fuzzy seat covers like in the f16

No dude, just stop.

Nah dude, fluffy dice or nothing

Ohh yes, if they’re on elastic instead of string they’ll stretch with g loading too, that would be really useful.

What have you guys got cooking? Stop being all sly

No dramas, you can also bring the manual up in the aircraft, I think it’s the M key by default.

That’s Jester moving the cursor, you can command him to move the cursor over each contact with the “jester context button” then lock a target with a long press. Check out the manual, it’s up to date and very well done.

I did the old disconnect all peripherals and reboot, it seems to have done the trick this time, i did multiple reboots without disconnecting my peripherals without it working, it might have been a USB conflict. On the subject of the CPU I have been getting issues with DCS freezing from time to time, sometimes up to 15 - 20 seconds i saw that line in the log too, I'm not manually parking CPU cores, that's windows and my CPU doing it's own thing. I'm going to try using process lasso to assign DCS to use P cores only, see if that resolves it.

Thanks for your help, here's the log, I have no clue what the polling rate of my mouse is, though it's not a new one, i have been using it for years without problems in DCS. dcs.log

I'm having problems with my mouse causing lag in the game. It started today, I've run DCS for years without problems. Whenever i move the mouse the game freezes momentarily, otherwise it's running smooth, I can't figure out what the issue is, I've made no hardware changes and it's not due the the recent update as I've had a few hours trouble free flying since that update dropped.

I’ve seen it once since the last patch, if it does pop up again I’ll get you a track file.
