This is all a very interesting read and I'll probably take a bite, too.

You normally don't need to start DCS via Steam...if you got the stand-alone version. If so, just start DCS, go to the VR tab in the options and tick use VR or something like that. DCS should re-boot now and also will start the steam VR gadget, which you still need.
I assume you got all your modules in the stand-alone version functioning, so they will work also in VR. I wouldn't recommend going to steam with all that DCS stuff but stay stand alone and do the starting from there.
Exactly right Lt_Jaeger I checked USE Virtual Reality Headset and use mouse. DCS rebooted, started Steam and Vive. It all works great so I flew the
P-51 all day .... what a blast! Thank you so much!

I agree with Fri12. I run a G2 and a 1080ti and it's awesome with a lot of tuning.
Quest 2 with 1080ti would be very good. You can get a 1080ti cheap on Ebay.
G2 with a better card would be even better, but it's a hell of a cost.

Hi Matt, Gabby here, I sprung for the Vive Pro 2 and am getting started. Pissed about all the startup hassle at first but mostly my self induced pain. Now that I am up and operating I would like to inquire "after a bit of tuning". What tuning?
At first I was ready to box it up and ship it back. Now you couldn't drag it away.

Bought a Vive Pro 2, valve controllers. Now if I can find out how to get DCS started !
Just a simple little line ... ohh how I get myself in trouble.
Day 1: got it all assembled, really neat glass poles holding the 2.0 base stations, you must have 2.0, 1.0 will not work with Vive Pro 2.
Link box and cables a piece of cake. Fire it up and here I am in a strange "Home" room. I do figure out how to do the kids tutorial but how about finding a way to get into good ole DCS. I wrestle around and get my PC Desktop showing on the HMD headset. Yep, this must be the way they do it! there is DCS ready to go in Steam so I click on it and I know it is VR ready 'cause it has that VR header.
Yikes "What in the hell is this mess on my HMD display". Not the way to do it. OK, I'm out of time so off to bed at 2359.
Day 2: Stayed in bed 'till 0900 avoiding VR. Back at it at noon, I fire it up and Yikes , the Home room is upside down with a floor for a ceiling and all text is backwards like the picture is reversed.
I fight that monster for hours and it is a "no go" for fixing it. I have tried every trick I know, reinstalling steam twice and Vive also, now thinking of the hassle of boxing all this junk up and sending it back to the three dealers I got it from. Finally I decide to uninstall all software and drivers, take it all apart and restart my computer. Then I get the bare-bones instructions out and followed them exactly again and yippee, the Home room is back and the hardwood floor is on the bottom. Then I fool around with Steam and find it has a VR DCS in it but it is a very large program and will take hours to download and install. OK, install it so I start the download and head back to bed at 0300.
Day 3. I stay in until 1000 and get some breakfast very late ... damn good thing I'm really finally retired (on May 24th after 65 years of flying).
About 1230 I get the urge to look at it and there is DCS in Steam so something is going right. Well maybe not, it only has the two free planes and I bought $700 worth of at the Christmas sale. So I fly the P-51 after I figure out how I don't need the controllers and use my Warthog stick and mouse.
WOW, This thing is so great I can feel the motion. It is like flying a real Mustang and I have Mustang time. Three good startups, takeoff and landings feel like the real thing. The Mustang has a semi-active cockpit so I can use my mouse on some knobs and switches. Next I do the SU-25 and the cockpit seems to not have anything I can do the mouse with except I can get a weird cursor up that will not do anything so I just bind all the controls I can and fly it. .... not bad except the labels are harder to read than my sharper PC Monitor. Funny though, it is easier to fly and land and the terrain is more natural. The airports are easier to spot from longer distance. I found a VR zoom that lets me zoom in on switches, knobs and instruments so I can read them.
My question: is there anyway I can use the planes I bought on DCS 2D and use them here on Steam 3D?

Thank you all for your help. I am learning as I go. The rig I am putting the Vive Pro 2 on is all AMD and it is compatible with the Vive and Valve. Some have wondered.

OK, I have decided to buy the Vive Pro 2 and the Valve index knuckle controllers. Will that work and what part will my Thrustmaster Warthog stick and throttles play? obviously I have zero VR experience. Try to keep me ontrack, please.
Next would I add the sensors and make a room? What would that add to my VR experience as I will be seated most of the time due to health issues.
-
Yikes, that did it mhe "This thing is growing on me" so I think it is the one for me. Now should I buy INDEX knuckles and will they work on the VP2? I don't need to move around so I don't need to have a room.

My need is for the best VR for a not mobile sim oriented person. However I want to enjoy as much travel and worldly experience as possible. Reasonable cost is not a factor, Many thanks for your help.

Hello!
In the past I flew DCS with a Oculus Rift CV1. Last week I bouht a new PC (see specs below). My question is if i can buy a VR with more resolution than the Oculus Rift? What brand can you recommend??
Many thanks in advance

Me too!
I have no VR experience but I built 2 new rigs. An i7-10,700 M2 1TB with AMD 5700XT and a Ryzen 9 M2 1 TB AMD 5700XT. I am looking at a HTC Vive Pro Eye Office Full System . Say whoa or GO.... please.

And other issues too. Minor but fixable. No cockpit front panel flood lights which makes some things like the ADI flight director crosspointers invisible and no flashlight either.
I hope we get an active cockpit soon so we can turn our own switches on and off.
Flying the hard one. Thursday I flew many hours and had 12+ successful landings. I had the good ones at an altitude of 2200 when on the runway and it is best to be at 2500 at the marker. Today Sunday, is a different story, I flew 6 approaches and hit those altitudes and never saw the runway as ceiling was zero to 100 and visibility was nil to 100 ft, absolutely unusable as I was able to touchdown / bounce on the runway, go around or crash twice. the runway is 1573 ft elevation and I was contacting it at 2100 ft. So it is time to move on.

Well, today you don't need to, if you updated though, as they are exactly the same build.
Stable is stable, latest "public" release.
OpenBeta makes you voluntary beta user/tester, but fixes and updates are more frequent.
Lately it seems that most user mods and stuff is heavily geared towards beta, like in this discussion, so if one is on stable, on must wait longer.
New modules released, are "always" released in early access and to beta first.
So I cross my fingers for an update to beta next week, that will include the Hind and the Marianas.
If you do multiplayer, most servers will be on the latest OpenBeta.
I'm sure others can chime in as well.
Cheers!

By all means it's not perfect and I indeed fly in a forward slip. I don't know if jet fighter pilots would coordinate in this descent - probably yes - neglect on my part. The wind at higher altitude is considerable but near the ground is not at all that bad - so no need for crab. You'll notice me checking the HSI from time to time just to make sure I'm on the right path.
We would just fly the required crab angle all the way to flare and then align with the runway for touchdown. I am new to DCS but have many years flying.

OK sorry I didn't look before. I am running the stable release 2.5.6
-
I am running 2.7, not beta. If you taxi into left side of runway for takeoff there is no problem.
You are doing a great job N2YF and we only want to make it better. Is there a way to change the panel lighting so we can see the cross pointers on the ADI. They seem to be black and unlighted. It should make a big difference in our flying to see and use it.

I was finally able to land mission 7
The first time I got so excited I forgot to apply the wheel brakes and ran off the end of the runway, but hey I landed
I've successfully landed it 3 times so far.
I agree with @ia_pro1691 maybe breaking that mission into parts A and B would be better: Part A would be without the crosswind and rain and part B with the crosswind and rain.
Overall I am learning how to operate and fly the F-15 with your missions, so great job!
Yes indeed, N22YF is doing us a great service by making these training missions. I would like to leave a few bits of constructive comment that may help. On the hard challenge approach and landing some bugs appeared. I crashed at 5000 ft abeam the marker. Surprise, I crashed into the approach lights at the start end of the runway but I was at 3000 ft and the runway is at 1553 there.
Careful, when you taxi into position for departure on the unarmed relocation flight use the left side of the runway or your wingman will plow into you. That will cost you. At mission end I received this message: "You have committed Fratricide. You have lost all your combat scores."

Overall, these missions have been fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for to get started in the F-15C. I'm new to DCS and FC3 was the first "module" I purchased. Couple of suggestions for improvement would be either another "advanced landing" mission that isn't quite as crazy with the cross winds and such to practice the instrument approach with little to no visibility, or toning that down just a bit in that mission. I've yet to successfully get this one done. I'm also still struggling to consistently find contacts on my radar, especially at extended distances like 40+ miles. I know they are out there based on RWR, I'm scanning from 0 to 40-50K feet in different aspects and still can't seem to get any blips on the radar. This isn't specific to your BVR mission, but just playing in general. A longer, more detailed and maybe somewhat slower paced BVR and Radar lesson would be great.
Also, I can confirm Ozmadi's statement about the tailgating F15C. I did some high G, high speed maneuvering through the mountains a bit and both it and the F15E that was off to the side couldn't keep up and never rejoined, but it was a bit of an issue.
Yep, that is tough 1a_pro. Thanks for your input and I agree that the extra challenging low approach needs a bit of work. My suggestions are to slow it down by starting 20 miles from the Initial Approach Fix, advising them to slow to 250kts immediately, then 160kts/gear and flaps down at the outer marker.. Then check the times and speeds as it goes. It seems like the speed from the Outer Marker inbound to landing is very fast. Then in our training world the weather should be held to a 200 foot ceiling and at least half the runway insight. I flew to 200 and the windshield was covered with StElmosFire and nothing was in sight. In the real world a normal hand flown approach would be 400 and 1 mile and then on training day we would have to hand fly one to 200 and a half mile. That would be good stiff practice. I love these training missions and only mean these comments to be constructive. One more thing, the cross bars on the ADI were black and did not show up so I had to fly it as a "raw data" approach instead of a flight director approach.. Thanks N22YF for your great , fun effort for us to train on and fly.

Maybe you set a custom snap view? https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/Cockpit_Views#:~:text=The game now remembers this,view to this Snap View.
If you have Snapviews.lua in *your username*/Saved games/DCS/Config/View then temporarily remove to see if that is the issue. Folder structure will be slightly different if you running the beta. /DCS/ will be /DCS.openbeta/
Absolutely brilliant AdrianL. I knew there was a smart young man here to help me. It is back to normal. I cut the Snapviews and parked it in a new folder. All looks normal. Thanks

I have looked everywhere, that why I am here. What's needed is use R Ctrl Shift 4 or 6 to move to the centerspot and then rotate to the right 15 degrees. Then save it so that I don't have to do it every time I play!
Thrustmaster Warthog Joystick dead
在 Controller & Assignment Bugs

My Thrustmaster warthog joystick died. I was installing an extension on the stick and as I did so it made a couple of chirps and then the joystick column on the DCS controls disappeared. Now when I plug the joystick into that or anyother computer it is DEAD. No chirp and not recognized. I plugged it into my other computer which is running DCS with a a TMWH and it is dead there too. Has the firmware in the base been damaged? Can I reset/reflash the firmware? Can I send it to Thrustmaster for repair? Any help will be much appreciated.
