[Oculus Rift and DCS World Discussion]

Perhaps, FB just owns OR, OR is its own entity and could easily fail while the book of face continues. My point was that to take two weeks to figure out shipping and give out actual dates and then not deliver again means customers leave.

 

Not my problem. I've had my CV1 since March 28. :lol:

[Oculus Rift and DCS World Discussion]

To not deliver again would be company suicide

 

Considering we're talking about Facebook here, that statement is a bit silly.

[P-51D cockpit build]

So far, this has to be the most interesting simpit project I've seen in the last few months. I like it that you've picked something not everyone else is doing. Following the path least traveled seems rewarding.

[Oculus Rift and DCS World Discussion]

Those that are dreading the shipping slide. The way I see it, it gives ED time to get things working right in DCS World. Also it gives Nvidia and AMD time to launch their new video cards at Computex. This summer is going to be an exciting time.

 

Also about the poll, I pick option D. FREE, I was shipped a free CV1 that arrived March 28th because I was a DK1 Kickstarter backer.

[My VKB Black Mamba MkIII arrived today... Unboxing Pics!]

No, VKB Mambas now "is history". The end. :)

 

Gunfighter is a new concept of joystick - a modular one.

 

Looks very promising. I'm looking for something new to build a simpit tub project with. This looks like a solid start.

[Oculus Rift and DCS World Discussion]

Just quickly hopped in 1.5 with my CV1, So far the resolution looks good. Better than DK2 did for instruments. I didn't have any of my controllers mapped or setup, so all I did was check out the main menu and the TF-51 on a hot start in the cockpit looking around. The initial head location and orientation was incorrect, but it was really cool looking around the cockpit. DCS World 1.5 sees the CV1 and the CV1 knows DCS World 1.5 is a 1.3 SDK enabled game. I'm sure things will only get better in the next few months.

[P-51D cockpit build]

That instrument bezel looks great. Good build quality.

[Gadroc's A-10 Build]

Yep. It's an AVENGER 180 setup.

 

Donno why they use the Avenger and Centurion names in their product. It leads to unnecessary product naming confusion. They're Icarus screens in 180 and 270 degree variants. Better just to call them Icarus 180 and Icarus 270.

Not that smart to mess with trademarks.

[If somebody is curious how warping and blending is done - timelapse]

I trust you are aware that Immersaview is already using the Warp product name for warping software?

[Hotas for left-handers?]

I'm left handed and always think this is a silly question. HOTAS requires dexterity from both hands to properly use. It's not merely a matter of preferring a dominant hand. If anything the throttle requires more dexterity than the stick because of all the other controls and switches on it.

[Side monitors "stretched"]

You need to setup multiple custom cameras to fix the distortion

[anyone know those guys?]

Let me guess, this guy found out how to abuse ModelConverterX?

[DCS World 1.5 and 2 Discussion]

Personally, I use DIMMdrive. I have 48GB on my X58 machine.

[Deadman's A-10 C Cockpit Build]

I'd be interested in doing a build using the plans. Any idea if Flim's VRpit kit will work ok with this? I have one of the kits sitting in my shop.

[New material for flat and cylindrical displays]

Over 180 degree setup limits it to just flight sim use. Regular games are limited by their lack of advanced camera control. Your setup will have to be flight sim specific if you go beyond 180 degrees.

 

Depends on the room you'll use it in and the ability to control ambient light. A black pearl coating like this screen is specifically designed for ambient light rooms. If you have total control over the light in a room you could just as soon go with a white or gray screen. Screen material used is situational to the end use location.

 

The main difference is that when you rear project the projection does not have any issue with the simpit you end up using blocking the projection, because the projection is behind the screen. In general, rear projection is more expensive and requires a much larger room to implement.

 

Being blinded in any scenario, I don't see that as a possibility.

[Using a real helmet]

If I want a good mix between real life and sim I'll use a pair of David Clark H10-13.4.

[GAMETRIX KW-908 JETSEAT]

I have one of Flim's VRpit ACES II kits from this forum. Not built it yet, but will probably in the next month or so.

[Oculus Rift DK2 + DCS World: How to get it working.]

The thing with DK2 though is if you have problems reading gauges or callout, just duck in towards what you're trying to read to get closer to it. Unlike DK1, DK2 has positional tracking that allows you to look around.

[GAMETRIX KW-908 JETSEAT]

I see three different options -- KW-901, KW-905 and KW-908. What are the differences and what would work best with an ACES II replica seat?

[Whoaa.... Hololens by Microsoft]

Confusing AR with VR shows a lack of technological understanding. They're not the same target audience.

[VR/AR space is getting crowded]

AR and VR are not the same market space.

[Windows X, Free upgrade for the first year.]

It's Windows 10 not Windows X...

[Forum page too wide and threads show as unread...]

What resolution are you guys running desktop as?

[Hoover Dam]

The first two photos are shot with an Australian camera.

 

I have a friend with a B-52 simulator. Typically fly out of Nellis and use Hoover Dam as a bomb target. Really close to Nellis and it's easy to find. His setup is in FS9. Can't wait to see this in DCS 2.0 NTTR.
