Bigscreen Beyond (BsB) settings advice
hiltonbomber replied to hiltonbomber's topic in Virtual Reality
Thanks for your response. I will try those settings tomorrow. When I first loaded up I was getting 90FPS, but then it's dropped since and I'm not sure what I did. The only difference being the first run was just a "quick flight" start up and fly around scenario, and the next time when FPS dropped significantly, I was doing a single player campaign. So the additional content may be an issue so yeah, additional RAM will help I expect. A 4090 and more ram is on my radar, but the cash is a problem at the moment, but yeah, definitely want to upgrade the PC. Thanks again. I'll reply with my results. Do love the headset though. -
Hey all, I'm just after some advice/guidance on some settings for VR, particularly using the BsB headset. I'm running an i9 10850K 5.2GHz CPU 32GB DDR4 3200MHz ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 10GB card. I'm currently running it set at 90hz refresh rate and getting about 45fpm. The visuals are amazing and I'm aware the GPU is a bit light on for the BsB, however just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on settings that I can use to improve both visual quality and fpm. Oh, using steamVR and Open XR. I love VR and this is a huge step up from my G2 both in terms of form-factor and visual quality. I can actually ID aircraft on their shape now without labels. Thanks all. Look forward to the advice. BTW, only had the headset 2 days, so as far as a review is concerned, it's awesome, but give me a few more days/weeks to get comfortable with it. Cheers legends.

Incirlik Air Base, exit fenced area too narrow
hiltonbomber replied to Chacal_IX's topic in Bugs and Problems
I've noticed the same issue. I folded my wings but still couldn't get through. Maybe didn't line up properly. I've been turning right out of the hanger and going down and entering 05 at the first intersection for takeoff. Still more than enough runway. That's not the point obviously. So is this a bug, as a result of the latest update. It was fine prior to that. If it's a design feature to keep out the F16 rabble, can we at least get a button to open the gates and then auto close them once through. -
Fabulous campaign btw.........so far at least. So I've just got back into DCS and been flying your campaign and loving it. Then earlier this week DCS released an update. As a result, when I taxi from hanger to runway 05, I turn left out of the hanger as usual but then the first fence gap is to small, and rips my wings off. Boom. Fireball. All bad. Restarted mission and tried with wings folded. Nope. Still went Boom. So I taxied from the hanger to the right and exited the compound to the second intersection along runway 05. Still plenty of distance to take off. Anyway, just wondering if the update has somehow upset the campaign parameters, or is it's the Syria Map, or DCS itself so thought I'd start here. Cheers. Pronto

Campaign Requires "Activation"
hiltonbomber replied to hiltonbomber's topic in F/A-18C Rise of the Persian Lion Campaign
Yes. That was the problem. I hadn't realised I was on the wrong beta version. Goes to show how simple a solution can be at times and how easy it is to overlook some basic settings. Thanks heaps to all for your assistance. I've back on the USS Abraham Lincoln after completing the first two missions. Hopefully get some time to go on to the next ones soon. Thanks again. -

Campaign Requires "Activation"
hiltonbomber replied to hiltonbomber's topic in F/A-18C Rise of the Persian Lion Campaign
No luck getting this campaign to run. DCS was telling me that it couldn't authorise "Marianna Map" and this campaign. Once I uninstalled them the authorisation message doesn't come up anymore, but now I'm not able to use either map or campaign which is very frustrating especially after having paid for the campaign. No response from ED as yet either. I'll keep looking into solutions. -
Authentication Issue - Campaign "Activation" Issue
hiltonbomber replied to hiltonbomber's topic in Installation Problems
Thanks. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Cheers -
Campaign Requires "Activation"
hiltonbomber replied to hiltonbomber's topic in F/A-18C Rise of the Persian Lion Campaign
I don't run any AV on this particular PC and I've got DCS set in the allowed list of windows firewall. I will double check though later. Cheers. -
The game is telling me that ALL my content that I've purchased is no longer current and once in game opens a window giving me the option to purchase all these modules. Some of them are modules I've already bought and paid for and others I haven't even looked at. My computer is showing the same time as my phone and it is all automatic determined by my internet connection so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm also having problems with a campaign I purchased via the Steam Store. F/A-18C Rise of the Persian Lion Campaign. It's telling me that it needs to be "activated". This is something new. Not sure what's going on here but there is something. If I choose to just close the "activation" windows everything works like normal, but without the campaign pack. I'm running Steam Edition and Open Beta and purchase all modules and DLC through the steam website.

hiltonbomber replied to hiltonbomber's topic in F/A-18C Rise of the Persian Lion Campaign
Yeah I've done that. It was working fine until recently. This campaign is odd though as to why it wants to be activated. I suspect the problems with authentication and this campaign needing "activation" are all inter-linked somehow, but just don't know how. I will raise a ticket at ED. Cheers. -

I'm running DCS Steam Edition and purchased this campaign as DLC via the Steam Store. It has installed no worries, but when I got to play the campaign it tells me that it needs to be activated. I have never had this issue with DLC from Steam Store before. Can you help out, what am I doing wrong? Cheers
