Reported to customer support yesterday and just received a SimApp update today ..... it appears to be working now ... Not had a chance to play around with it yet ..... thankyou WinWing...

Thanks for your replies, i have been in contact with customer support via chat, the guy did his best to help but eventually ran out of ideas.... I'll contact them again to let them know that there is an issue with SimApp. Like you say the keybinding tab is able to contact the server and download user profiles ok, so it's not an issue with my anti virus software blocking access or my connection.

Recently bought an Orion 2 Base and F-16 stick with shaker. Vibration is working fine in game when using "Default" mode, but i'm wanting to change some parameters more to my liking. However when i select "advanced" mode the "cloud files" are not populating and i am unable to create a "New profile".... i also no longer have any vibration in game. Switch back to "default" mode and vibration works again. Using the latest SimApp version, anybody else having this issue in "advanced" mode ???

Really enjoying the immersion and "feel" that the Rhino provides, when you throw VR and the jet seat (Simshaker) in to the mix as well it's amazing. Mainly play the F-4E these days and can fly it by feel now, Heatblur have done a really good job of implementing FFB support with their module.

I bought one of "Wingers" DIY kits and assembled it in less than a day once my motors had been delivered. I have had daily use with it for about two weeks now and absolutely loving it. I was going to print all the parts myself but instead decided to purchase a DIY kit from Winger for convenience. I have to say that the quality of Winger’s kit was outstanding and the kit comes with all the required hardware to complete, the motors/control board are purchased separately. The Gimbal came pre-assembled as did the emergency stop button wiring and all the printed parts were very well made and slotted together with no problems. Had to open up the holes on the bearing retainers slightly with a drill to allow the bolts to pass through easily but that's all, everything just slotted in to place. The VpForce telem FFB software is amazing and injects many effects in to the joystick which allows you to fly by feel. The Heatblur F-4E is made for FFB and it's great now as you can really “feel” what the jet is doing. The Rhino works equally well with helicopters, you click the cyclic stick "Force trim" button and the stick holds it’s position just as the real thing would. If your comfortable using basic hand tools and doing a little bit of wiring than i would highly recommend taking the “Winger” DIY route. You can have a VPRhino up and running in about two weeks, which is the time it took for the motor kit from VpForce to be delivered. VPforce_Rhino_Manual.pdf Rhino Assembly Reference12.pdf

Made a point of saving my original "Saved Games" folder content and then generated a new one using the .bat file below. https://www.tenforums.com/attachments/tutorials/38713d1442867993-users-personal-folders-restore-default-location-windows-10-a-restore_saved_games_default_location.bat Any changes that i make in the Game options menu or edits in the options.lua are now being reflected within each other which wasn't the case with my original Saved games folder after yesterdays update. Unfortunately i now need to load all the individual aircraft control profiles back in. I can now download the individual FC3 modules and they are now working ok.

After the latest patch i noticed alot of content has been deleted from my Saved games folder located here C:\Users\myname\Saved Games. The custom scripts that i had installed for the Skynet IADS and the splash damage 2.0 script have all been removed. The SU30 mod and OH-6 mods have been deleted from my saved games mod "aircraft" folder but you can still see them as available in the bottom "module" banner in game. Seven out of the nine Churchill asset mods have been deleted from the saved games mod "Tech" folder. As an experiment i renamed my current "Saved games" folder expecting all my settings to go to default when loading up DCS for first time again. However DCS still remembered all my previous settings, also it did not generated a new "Saved games" folder. How was DCS still able to remember all my previous settings when i have in effect deleted my saved games folder by renaming it ?...... where is DCS storing it's settings now ?. Thankfully it hasn't deleted all my control bindings...

I've lost five modules that i know of, alot of my saved game folder content has also been deleted, Kola map crashes game and to top it all off quad views is no longer working..... renderng my Pimax Crystal useless ....... going have to figure out how to role back if this is not fixed today.

Also lost F86, MIG 15 anf F5 standalone modules

Same problem as the original poster here...

Thanks..... for some reason i thought that slider was only if you used SteamVR so i never bothered with it...... I'll give it a try,

Thanks for your replies. Just to clarify in Pimax play under the "Games" tab i have a "Render Quality" option which defaults to "Maximum" (value of 1) ...... is this where i increase the resolution by clicking customise and increasing the slider ??.

Yeah you were right i was inputting parameters that could not provide a solution..... as soon as i increased the "run in" speed parameter from the default value to something like 450kts..... it then calculated a drag coefficient for me. Thanks for your reply ...

I'm running a Crystal on an RTX 4090 and use OpenXR Toolkit to upscale (CAS) the image to 3500x4142. Still playing around with Quadviews companion, currently running Horizontal/Vertical focus size at 32% FOV, Foveate Res 180% and Peripheral Res at 6%. I have until recently been upscaling higher but i'm finding the new Razbam F4 a bit of a performance hogger in VR so have had to drop the res to the above settings to try and maintain FPS at 72...... at all times. I was just wondering what resolution are you guys running your Crystals at ??..
