Here u go... this is your big mistake

U must be kidding me. I hope they thought of something better before making their 'free trial' experiment. gonna curse them forever if they didn't

The game keeps asking me to bind/skip at startup for each module I do not own that was installed during the free trial period... How do I uninstall them IN BULK.... if I put them in the bin from the module manager it restarts the game for each one... gonna take bloody ages... HELP! thks RESOLVED: Thks to @Northstar98 and @Bailey for their help. Removed them using DCS Installer utility below

Hi Baltic dragon. Been playing your M2000 campaigns and Av8b. Really gr8 experience, immersive, nice to have a story line and realistic scenarios etc so big thumbs up and thank you. We all experience bugs of course and with no experience in mission design myself but with my careers experience in system and product design it seems to me (might be awfully wrong here) that a lot of the quirks are due to triggers. Seems they may be too precise or specific in many cases and end up not triggering thus leaving the mission stranded or skipping parts. I hardly ever get through a mission where I get all the radio calls or have all the sections working as expected. Might be too complex or too precise, I don't know. The reality is players will do everything you expect them not to do and thus ultra generic fallbacks / safeguards could help get back on track in the story (like the plane is not where it should be, fired a missile instead of dropping a bomb etc). Might be that the mission builder is not flexible enough (if plane is not there then display a new message and get the player back on track...) and of course these things are easier said than done but if it is possible with the mission engine then I think it is worth spending time on this as it will considerably strenghten the missions and take player satisfaction to a new high Good luck and I'll buy every mission you do for the planes I fly!

Hi guys, was wondering from what altitude skilled pilots fly to create markpoints ... I tend to have to go quite low to be precise enough but am then exposed to AA defenses... Trying to know what the benchmark is

I was waiting for you to reply and started the ottoman courier with the Av8b instead... but still tried yesterday and this time it went through and jtac replied. Not sure what bug is in there...I did exactly the same thing on my side. I generally find most bugs are with communications throughout the campaigns. also...tune on a wrong channel means you do not get the message and it is game over... would be good if u'd get a reminder to switch to the frequency until u r tuned in (space bar) so that the mission can still progress Btw...on coup d'etat M1...the kneeboard is wrong re R frequencies ... numbers and frequencies do not match for checks channel. So far seem voice acting was best in caucus campaign. Gr8 work on these Baltic-dragon. Your campaigns are awesome

Hi, In mission 13 - Last Strike ... I am stuck with the Jtac not answering ... I am on ch3 on green. get the initial auto call out at wp3 and short dialog but when it comes to using the \ menu and contact them to check-in 15 I get no answer back ever. They call me in 'visual' once I am on them but never when I try to contact them on radio. Me wrong or bug?

For the life of me I cannot survive the 2 SU33s that pop up after claw leaves the bombing site (tunnel). They have tons of missiles, I struggle to even figure out where the planes are before I have at least 2 missiles chasing me ...plus they are launched from a distance that my magics can't match. watched a few YouTube videos and the guys seems to never really have much to do to evade the one missile launched after them...I dodge one, maybe two but then a 3rd always gets me ... Did they upgrade the Russian missiles lately??? Any tips welcome...driving me crazy and shaking

Great job Baltic Dragon on this M2000 campaign. Perfect learning pace, after the training missions, and just the right level of difficulty. Immersive storyline and great voice acting really add to it. Really well done. M2000 is my 'learning' plane on DCS (still a newbie) and this campaign has hooked me to this Sim. Merry Xmas to all

Hi Imacken. Indeed "i.e I need to recenter the VR position (ok just a keystroke but still)". So yes I recenter it every time from the hotas. Probably nothing to do with DCS but with WMR / SteamVR. I noticed that sometimes DCS starts with the right initial position (in front of menu) and a few seconds later resets the VR view to the wrong position where I can't see the menu anymore.

Not sure I understand your question but: 2000x2000 is a random number I used in the comment...it depends on the resolution of your headset. For Reverb G2 it is 2160x2160. However, in steamvr video settings you can specify the resolution per eye. Normally you would enter 2160x2160 for reverb headset but many specify a resolution that is higher than native resolution (upscaling) so that they get better in game resolution (for close objects in particular). I experimented with it too and was using something around 3000x3000 ... and the cockpit looked tiny so I had to change the 'force IPD' setting in DCS VR tab to something around 45 so that the cockpit looked the right size. Hope that is clearer

Damn. Pretty tough in tensed and close situations. And with the automatic lock...chances are you lock someone on your side tough to know 3 or 4 miles out with no labels

Hi, when multiple bogeys fly together and I lock on one of them using the VTB and TDC, I often have a need to switch to another of these bogeys (after they break formation one may become a bigger threat to me)... Is there a way to 'cycle' through them in the mirage? selecting the new one on the VTB is just too slow and you need to keep your eyes on the bandit. At the moment I end up breaking lock and using the weapons command to switch to boresight mode and try to reacquire automatically but it is not working well for me How do you do it?

hmm...installed the new release of open beta...in game IPD now at 56 in the mirage...up from 45! OK OFF THAT! ... nothing to do with new realease ... found out it has to do with the resolution used on your VR headset... If you use a higher resolution (say native is 2000x2000 per eye and you set steamvr video setting at 3000x3000 per eye ) then your cockpit will look very small. If you use native resolution then an in game IPD setting close your own IPD will look fine. It therefore seems that it is a scaling factor which you need to use if you set your steamevr resolution to a higher (or lower I guess) resolution. ... going to edit the 1st post to reflect that.

Yep, that what I was trying to figure out with this post and given the wide array of settings people use it seems that users just need to find the right value for them in the 30-60 range. Kind of important that people know this is not IPD and should not match your own IPD. More of a scale factor

Sorry but not sure I understand.... If your pictures are left eye / right eye then is it not completely normal? The left eye will see more to the left and less to the right, while the right eye will see more to the right and less to the left.

Argh...tried to rollback the driver to 451.48 ... would not install...says it is not compatible with this version of windows / Could not find suitable graphic hardware (got Win10-64 latest update and GeForce 3080). guess the driver is for Turing cards only

Hi, the home DCS page in VR has the menu window just below the wing of an SU33 (think). 3 days ago, my initial position in VR is above the wing for some reason... i.e I need to recenter the VR position (ok just a keystroke but still) to get back to the right location in front of the menu window... anyone got any idea how I caused this and how to fix it?

Just did...Still stuttering on my 3080

What VR headset u got Rogue?

I have to say I took a less scientific route than measuring cockpit... looking at the pilot's hand and throttle grip and they have to look of realistic size to me...all about perception

Weird. default setting it is a coffin like the real thing indeed but stick and throttle (and buttons) are really not to scale. What headset are u using?

Hi, if you are new to DCS then like me you'll wonder if you should go for TrackIR or VR. I did and chose TrackIR for price and fear of motion sickness. Some aspects of it bugged me and I decided to try VR with the HP Reverb G2. Trackir: It allows you to look around your cockpit easily. I did find that in acrobatic situations (dogfight) it was sometimes difficult to figure out where you were actually looking and find where the hell the opponent had gone. This is because trackIR multiplies your head movement so that 20deg in real life corresponds to 120-150deg in game. When over water or blue sky with you head looking up through the canopy it is not easy to find out where you are and when the opponent goes from left to right of your plane from under it it is not easy to get it back in your sight. I am sure practice will do though but after 30hrs of flying it was still hard for me. Another grip I had is the lack of 3D when really fighter jets are about 3D movement. Finally, cockpits looked too big/vast on screens. VR with HP Reverb G2. I chose that Headset because it has a high resolution which is really necessary with DCS. I have to say the experience has been amazing. It is much more immersive than on screen. Cockpit is just there around you, you absolutely feel like you are in it. I find it also a lot easier to follow other aircrafts around me visually. Overall it is much more natural/intuitive to fly this way. Sure the image tends to feel a bit blurry at time, especially with fast moving targets but the scenery is great and the full 3D immersion makes up for it. So far no motion sickness. Be sure to set the headset to your pupil distance (IPD), apparently it helps. VR is a little aggressive on the eyes but reducing brightness helps if needed. Not sure I will go back to Trackir but would say that if you are hesitating, I think DCS deserves VR. My system is i7 10700 @2.9GHz with RTX 3080 and 32GB of RAM.
