I had the same issue and I wished I had read the above before. I even re-installed DCS!! The solution posted by "Russiandivxclub" works perfectly well. You do NOT need to leave the DCS Beta, ONLY the Steam Beta

Thanks Glen, appreciated!

Hi Glen, As with the Serpent's Head, great campaign many thanks. I have a question please. After finishing the "normal" version of the Persian Lion campaign, I jumped into the Increased Difficulty version and loved the extra bits for Missions 1 and 2 (meaning the Time on Target for the first and the Fly close to the track for the second). However, for the next three missions I have not seen any difference. Is that correct? Thanks again Glen and many congratulations again on this release, John

Many thanks @baltic_dragon. All understood and great to know you are looking at it. Fantastic campaing. Difficult, but a very steep learning curve, so lots of sweat, repeating every missing minimum three or four times, but all good fun. Cheers!

Guys, I am looking for advice please. I have tried Mission 10 like 7 times, and no matter what, I get shot down by a missile launched from the island before Bandar Abbas. I have tried flying very close in formation to Cajun, far from Cajun, release chaff/flares, take evasive actions... and no matter what I do, I ALWAYS got shot down by THAT missile. Any suggestions please? I see I am not alone, which is a relief, but I do not see any replies/suggestions. Hopefully @baltic_dragon may give us a clue please? Cheers!

Dear ED, Thanks a lot for keeping up with the product and for moving ahead with improvements. Some of them may cause trouble but I am sure in the end ED will have a great product. I am afraid that with the new release (2.7.0.5659 Open Beta) my VR crashes all the time. It starts with micro stuttering, then it becomes a big stutter, and the I get kicked out of VR. I have an Intel i9-10850K, 32GB of RAM and an NVidia GForce RTX 3080. Prior to this patch I was fine, though now I cannot play (litterally). Any help would be much appreciated please.

@StevanJ and @Fri13, you both ought to meet in a server and play against each other a couple of matches @BIGNEWY, thank for that man. As you can see, there is plenty of frustration in the air (me included) about the new controls in VR. I believe that is because we all love DCS and we are very much into it, so we just want to sit and enjoy it a lot. Looking forward to the fix!

Yes, this is the other problem with 2.7. not only the "green laser" is gone, but now you can hardly turn knobs. It is practically not possible. I have reported this to Customer services since I cannot really play. So maybe if they receive more feedback on this, ED would fix it soon. Cheers

Guys, you are totally correct about the new gloves. It is nice in principle but now turning knobs is close to impossible. And I have another problem I hope someone could help with plese? In various opportunities when I try to push a button, or turn a knob, the gloves end up grabbing the stick and the plane then goes flying nuts (I have lost missions because of this issue). Is there a way in which one can de-activate the option for the gloves to take the stick and/or the throttle? I am fine pressing buttons and turning things around though, so I wouldn't like to cancel those options. Thanks in advance for any help on the matter. Best

Hi all, I am wondering if I could get some help please. I have a problem with the Gloves in VR, since in various opportunities when I try to push a button, or turn a knob, the gloves end up grabbing the stick and the plane then of course goes nuts (I have lost missions because of this issue). Is there a way in which one can de-activate the option for the gloves to take the stick and/or the throttle? I am fine pressing buttons and turning things around though, so I wouldn't like to cancel those options. Thanks in advance for any help on the matter. Best, John

Dear Sir/Madam, Many thanks for the 2.7 update to DCS which was very much expected. I have tried it via VR in Steam, and please let me provide feedback on a couple of bugs please: Turning the knobs is close to impossible. I have an HP Reverb G2 and while previously I used to see the "laser" from the tip of my globe, so I could see clearly where I was pointing at, now I cannot see the "laser" I am afraid, so it is rather difficult to see where you are pointing to. But most importantly, while in the past it was very easy and straightforward to turn knobs (with the help of the pointing laser), now it really is very complicated. Almost no control there I am afraid. When in Air to Air refueling, I make contact with the hose, with then immediately I receive a message saying "fuel completed", but I received no fuel at all. Finally, is it possible to not allow the "globes" in VR to control the plane joystick and throttle? I have had various accidents since while trying to press some buttons in the cockpit, the VR globe "grabs" the joystick so the plane starts moving all around the place. Thanks a lot again for your work, and looking forward to some patches on the above, John

I do have the Super Carrier module already and would be very keen on Flying the Serpent Head's campaigns (1 and 2) again, this time from the SC. And fantastic news about "Rise of the Persian Lion". Totally ready for it!!!. Campaign 1 of at least 2 or 3 campaigns I hope. Please do keep moving on with your great work and with very best, John

Glyn, Serpent's Head 1 and 2 campaigns are wonderful pieces of work. I am kind of new to DCS, so after learning some of the basics of flying and arms along many (really many) hours, I decided to be brave and go for your first campaign, mainly because it was for free so I thought: I loss nothing. And it really was a fantastic experience. For both campaigns my hands sweat a lot in some missions, I failed and had to do some missions three or four times while some I did on the first attempt. Very vivid experience. I truly loved it. Great story, no just get on a plane and shoot, but all being a sequence of logic events and with nice dialogues. Many congratulations and I would be more than happy to buy your next campaign (very much looking forward to it actually). Take care and with very best! John

Fantastic. Thansks Teeps and Rob10. We all learn new things by the day!

Sorry guys...I know what it was. The coordinates provided are DD MM SS Decimal SS, while the precise coordinates in the HSI data are DD MM decimal Minutes. That made the trick! So N 44 13 18.27 should be N 44 13 ENTER 30 45 ENTER

Hello there. I am having an issue with the mission I am afraid. I am able to enter the precise coordinates of the 4th hangar, and the height, not a problem. But the bomb does not hit the target. I have followed the bomb, but it hits near the runway, but not the hangar. It is not that the SA knocks it out, but it is as if the "coordinates" were not completely correct. Anyone else with the same issue? Any clues? As a note, I am entering the coordinates in precise mode, four digits at the time for each one. For instance: N 44 14 ENTER, 18 27 ENTER. For E 43 06 ENTER, 13 67 ENTER. I have tried twice already with the same outcome. Help would be appreciated please.

Hi All, I posted the below in a similar discussion. It is the product of a significant amount of hours trying solving the problem, so hopefully it would help

Hi Guys I had exactly the same problems as you have described above with my new HP Reverb G2 when playing DCS. It was very frustrating since my PC specs are very decent (i9-10900K, NVIDIA 3080, 32GB RAM) and while playing I had a very significant amount of stutter all around the place to the point of the game not being playable. Well, not without a plastic bag on the side ready for an "accident". After spending a good number of hours checking various potential solution (like the motion smoothing in this series by eaglecash867) and after contacting the SteamVR team, I managed to get to a point where it is possible to use my Reverb G2. Please see the suggested solutions I got from SteamVR below. I have the feeling that playing DCS with the G2 is not at its optimum at the moment, and it won't be solved until someone (Eagle Dynamics, or Steam) develop some significant improvements, but at least the game is playable. A bit frustrating not to have it at its full potential, but better than feeling totally sick due to stutter. The Steam VR suggestions: Hello, Thanks for reaching out and bringing this to our attention. Sorry to learn about the difficulties you've experienced with your Reverb and SteamVR. After the recent detection issues are you still able to launch the Windows Mixed Reality portal and have it detect your headset without issue? To begin troubleshooting, please opt into both the SteamVR and Steam Client Beta. · To opt into Steam Client Beta, open the Steam Client and go to "Steam" > "Settings" > "Account" and enable Beta participation. · To opt into SteamVR Beta, find Steam VR in your Library, right-click and select "Properties" > "BETAS" tab and select SteamVR Beta. You should also opt into the LKG Beta for Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR. You can do this the same you would for SteamVR. Right-click in library "Properties > "BETAS" > enable Beta LKG Build. After completely opting into all the Beta builds, go ahead and retest the issue. If the issue continues, try resetting and re-installing SteamVR USB devices: 1. From SteamVR, choose "developer" then select the "developer settings" tab. 2. Then, choose "Remove all SteamVR USB devices." Unplug your headset from your PC, then restart your computer. 3. Once rebooted, reconnect the headset to your PC. USB devices will begin to install. Please be patient, it may take several minutes. And then, the one that helped the most was: Hello John, Thanks for following up with us. Resetting your graphics drivers may help. Please use Display Driver Uninstaller to fully remove the graphics card drivers from your system. Display Driver Uninstaller is a free utility that will remove any old or corrupt driver records which can cause devices to misbehave. You can download this software here. After this, please re-install the most recent driver available for your device and re-test the original issue. Let us know how things go. Attach an updated SteamVR report with your response if you continue to have display issues with your headset. With the DDU link being: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu There are plenty of disclaimers in the DDU, so please read them carefully and do follow the instructions carefully. There are plenty of instructions that you need to read first before using the application so read, and take print screen photos of the instructions. I am not sure exactly what of all of the above made the trick, but in the end now I can play DCS with the G2. With still a bit of disappointment though, but I do not need the plastic bag anymore. I hope this helps.

I received my new HP Reverb G2 last week and I have been struggling a lot to get it working in DCS (SteamVR version). After various tries on options, finally it runs but the image is a bit blurry, and not crystal clear. It is as if "two programmes" were sending the same image at the same time but with a tiny difference in time. The buildings do not look clear but a bit blurry. It is as when you are in a hot day in a road, and the road and everything around looks blurry. Well, that is what I am seeing in DCS with the Reverb G2. Not what I was expecting from the videos I have seen of people playing with the G2. I have just found a discussion in which using a Debug tool may help, so that is my next step. I believe I have a very decent machine, so at the moment I am very dissapointed. My specs are: Intel i9-10900K, NVIDIA 3080, 32GB RAM

Hi Agathos, I wonder if you finally solved the problem? I got a new HP Reverb G2 and I have the same issue you are describing above. The image is a bit blurry, and everything looks duplicated by a millimeter, as with "ghosts", as if there were two images one right next to the other by half a millimeter. Blurry. It would be great to know if you solved the matter. Thanks!
