    VR Titles

    Try "Aircar" from Steam. It is free and is a "VR experience". It is not a game, just a hover car that you fly around in a futuristic city. It was designed from the ground up for VR. I use it to test my G2's video, audio, and controllers. You can also plug in an Xbox controller to your PC and use it to control the car. Here is a link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1073390/Aircar/ Hope this helps
  2. I realize this is an old thread, but has anyone figured out what DCS Supercarrier uses to determine the assigned approach times? My friend and I have flown a custom mission twice that involves a night Case 3 landing. Both times we were given approach times in excess of 40 minutes with no other traffic ahead of us. Does calling "inbound" closer than 50 miles help? Thanks
  3. I am starting to use NVGs in VR. Sometimes the NVG display is the "goggled" mode other times the entire display is green. This has happened in several different missions, both single and multiplayer, with no changes between each play session. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
  4. As a temporary work around, I have been using the "Notes" page on the kneeboard with dictation. For instance in a case III landing: 1) Bring up kneeboard 2) Say "show notes" 3) Say "start dictate" 4) With kneeboard still up I call the CV with "inbound" 5) As the CV responds the kneeboard page will switch to the ATC page 6) Say "show notes" to bring up notes page then dictate radial heading, altimeter setting, DME range, assigned angels, and time. 7) Say "end dictate" It is clunky, but does work.
  5. It is a bug that came with the 2.7 update. Vaicom is aware of it and will fix it once ED has patched several other issues with 2.7. I really miss this feature as well. We just have to be patient.
  6. Another company to check out for prescription lenses is VR-Wave. https://www.vr-wave.store/ I have had VR-Wave lenses for over two months on my Reverb G2. Their customer service is the best. The true test of a company is how they respond to problems. I noticed a small defect in the lenses after using them for over six weeks. I contacted VR-Wave and their response was immediate. They resolved my problem with minimal downtime. Throughout my entire experience with this company they never failed to impress me with their outstanding customer service and product!
  7. What would be the best way to transfer my Vaicom Pro/VoiceAttack to my new computer? I will be moving my current DCS beta and the saved games folders from the old computer to the new computer. The new computer will be using the same HOTAS hardware, but of course Windows 10 will be assigning new GUIDs to them. Thanks for your time
  8. Opting out of SteamWMR beta solved most tracking issues for me.
  9. Thanks for sharing this info. Great timing, as I am expecting my new system next week.
  10. I have had similar issues with my G2 since 2.7. I believe this is due to issues inside DCS, as I do not have any tracking or jittery problems in Aces High, AirCar, or BeatSaber. I did not have any tracking problems with DCS 2.5. If you are questioning your hardware I would suggest trying another program that is optimized for VR. AirCar, for instance, is available free from Steam. It is a "VR experience" and not a game. Good for troubleshooting your VR hardware. The SteamVR issue is causing a "critical error starting SteamVR" message when trying to start DCS. For me I found that I had the basic version of SteamVR and the beta version of SteamWMR. Opting out of the SteamWMR beta and going back to the basic version fixed this problem.
  11. Try starting WMR first, then close SteamVR leaving WMR running, then start DCS. For me DCS will start up SteamVR then perform as normal. Hope this helps
  12. I followed SR's advice and started WMR first, closed SteamVR (which opens with WMR), then start DCS. DCS restarts SteamVR and everything works normally. I am using the non-beta version of SteamVR.
  13. Thanks SR. I have the same problem using the non-beta version of SteamVR. This start-up procedure works for me until the issues get sorted out.
  14. Thanks guys! I created the autoexec.cfg file and added the disable track recordings entry. No change as far as shut down is concerned.
  15. I cannot find this file anywhere is saved games or in the DCS program folders. Do I need to create this?
  16. Did a little more testing. With the pagefile adjustments, DCS closes immediately from the menu screen. When a mission is loaded (I am using the same mission...F-18, Supercarrier, cold start, Persian Gulf) it then takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes to shut down from VR. Occasionally DCS will shut down immediately from VR with the same mission loaded (I hate intermittent problems!). Starting from a fresh computer boot does not seem to make a difference. I think there is a memory leak somewhere or the cache is not getting cleared. Still better now than without the pagefile adjustment.
  17. Think you hit on the solution Flappie. I checked my page file size and it was showing none. I adjusted fixed pagefile min to 48000 (1.5x32GB) and max to 128000 (4x32GB) on my m.2 SSD. DCE starts faster and shuts down immediately, both in VR and 2D. Thanks!
  18. I have had the same issue since 2.7 update. Added 32GB RAM, deleted programs to make more space on my M.2 SSD, overclocked CPU, short/long repair of DCS, and cleaned up all background programs....no change. Long shutdown in VR and 2D. I did notice that after the first small update of DCS, post 2.7, the program shut down normally once, but then the bug returned. This leads me to believe it may be a core DCS problem.
  19. I did this same fix to install KB5001330. After Windows installed the update and it repeatedly reported I was up to date, I reconnected the headset. Windows now tries to re-download and install KB5001330. Think we are just going to have to wait for Microsoft to pull out its finger.
  20. I use the stock F/A-18 SuperCarrier Cold Start mission with the Persian Gulf terrain for my fps testing. I just sit in the cockpit and watch the computer performance as the two F/A-18s get catapulted off in front of me. I am planning on trying some CPU o/c today and see what I get.
  21. Thanks for the reply. I have been researching o/c the CPU. It has been many years since the last time I did it.
  22. I am using an i7-9700K at 3.5G. My RTX2070 is an 8Gb card o/c to 1620Mhz. FpsVR showing GPU load around 80% and CPU load at 20% (one of the reasons I have not o/c the CPU).
  23. Same here....no radio replies from ATC, AWACS, or air tanker shown on kneeboard. This started with 2.7 update.
  24. Same here. No ATC or Air refueling instructions being captured. Started with 2.7 update.
