    Wanted to give the Quest 2 another go (I have a G2 and use only that one for DCS)... oculus link not working...I so bloody hate this. Seems there is always something else that breaks under windows. But honestly...having a USB cable connection that doesn't connect...we are reaching new lows . Shame on you oculus.

    DTC?

    Is there a way to pre-load a list of custom waypoints into my aircraft's system before I enter a multiplayer mission...i.e similar to my custom kneeboards store a list of waypoints saved into the saved games/DCS.openbeta/Kneeboard ? With 10+ waypoints to enter manually in VR before starting the flight, it is a lot of digit punching and time spent before every mission. Got to be a better way to have them pre-loaded no? PS: I am not talking about the mission creator doing it himself...just too much work for him + variability of multi-player showing /no show etc so really talking about the player doing it himself.

    Frankly, given the time I spend on DCS I think the maps are cheap. The aircrafts are quite reasonably priced when you think about the amount a dev there is for them and the limited amount they will sell. I'll dutifully buy their maps because it is necessary income for them and the amount of work that goes in a nice map is enormous. Can't wait for the Falklands map from razbam to arrive...will be nearly 3yrs of work for 1 guy and it looks beautiful...They do it for the love of it more than for pure commercial reasons it seems to me.

    Yes, I have the smallest deadzone possible. Enough so that it does always rest on the dead zone if I am not touching the stick or just have my hand loose on it. On my virpil I think it is 2 for me. Then u have a better / more precise response when doing air refueling

    Gosh is that not too heavy for the platform??? looks awesome...and BIG! Reliability is indeed a key point...got to be running like a tank. F14 pilot I see!

    u do not need to air refuel on the campaign. it is optional. The mirage is tough for AAR... put FBW in ground attack mode and maybe axis curves at 15...that should allow smaller adjustments at the tanker...AAR take a lot of practise and patience but like learning to ride a bike...once you have it, it gets easier and easier. Have fun

    Did you ask ground crew for ground power? Think some comms do not work without ground power or engine. A bug indeed.

    Anyone has a sense of how much improvement can vulkan bring to the engine on multithreades cpu? (nowadays everyone has 10+cores it seems). Reading comments, people see it as the saviour/ holy graal that will double your frame rate ... guess nothing that dramatic but what can be reasonably aimed for?

    With something weird like this I would start as clean as possible... i.e default settings on the GPU control panel then have the steamvR settings as used by @speed-of-heat and default settings in DCS. Need to find a config that does not do that to start with.

    Not sure anyone has had a chance to test the motion platforms from Next Level. Designed for cars but they advertise it for flight sims too ... haven't seen a single feedback from users though. If someone had a chance to try the Motion AND the traction platform I'd love to hear feedback? Seems super cool but then it always looks cool on the sales leaflet

    Well it really is a personal thing. I don't feel 'in the cockpit' at all on a screen (I had a 3 screen setup so big real estate). VR gives me 3D for real (with proper depth) which makes all the difference to me. Then I really feel in the cockpit and I can see my 3D body in the cockpit and If i get up my chair I instinctively duck my head not to hit the canopy frame

    Would be very surprised if that's not better than a laptop! Let us know though
  14. Brainfreeze
    @Harlikwin... glad you figured out what was affecting your settings but, now that you have 90fps, is it better?
  15. Brainfreeze
    Ok got it now... DESG the WP5 first then once the LST picks up the laser from the drone, a long press of the WP increment HOTAS button will move the designated WP to the lasered spot. Works indeed anyway in this mission because they are very close. Thks for. the help @Sedlo
  16. Brainfreeze
    Ha...does make sense! Haven't tried but will trust you on this. Will revert to PD=1
  17. Brainfreeze
    Steam SS eats less FPS than DCS PD. Massively discussed in the forum. hence better 100% and PD<1 than 70% and PD at 1
  18. Brainfreeze
    BTW... you should set your 'custom resolution multiplier' in steamVR at 100% (u r at 63%). Then use a <1 PD in the DCS VR menu. Even though with a 3090 u should still be fine with PD left at 1 and 100%.
  19. Brainfreeze
    ok will try again... last question... you need to click the DESG on the MFD in order to get system to AUTO drop right? I mean no other method (not easy with NVG on :-()
  20. Brainfreeze
    They do but they land too short or too long. what altitude are you went you arrive / just before you pull up?
  21. Brainfreeze
    I have a question about M3 (night low level LST GBU bombing)... I am arriving low level to avoid the SA-8... i.e 150ft ... rise up 3 miles before... but GBUs keep missing target because, I think, they need to be dropped from higher altitude in order to be able to steer themselves. Am I wrong there? Waht altitude are u guys coming at and are you hitting tgt?

    I tried a quest 2, aside from my g2 and it’s ok. Won’t use it if the g2 is around but can definitely do the job. my gear ( in signature) gives me fluid / no stuttering. Am currently using motion vector but really not necessary either. Think upgrading from laptop is definitely worth. Going overboard is not. But a man got to do what a man got to do...

    Seems too much effort and money for marginal benefit. All this hardware will be out of date in 12months time and the benefit of the highest gear today is maybe 20% better for twice the price of the next one below. Proper settings will gets you to the right place and give more benefit than the underlying hardware. You may be pretty pissed off if poor settings give you unsatisfactory performance after spending all that money and effort. Aka some users on the forum have very high specs and not happy with their VR. I have lower specs and very happy with my VR performance. DCS will improve in the next 12months and then hardware will too and so on for the following years. Get something you like now and is better than what you have today and enjoy the progress year on year. It is the journey that matters

    Latest beta update crashes a lot of things actually...better not update yet
  25. Brainfreeze
    Thanks Imacken. I am not using these exact numbers, just using SS on steamVR and <1 PD in DCS. Came out with a combination that works well for me (qualitiy/fluidity)
