Major Corvus

Varjo Base update today (3.7.2.13), and the Varjo is back to full funtionality and the best it's ever been on the RTX 4090. Buttery smooth on the High preset and completely stutter free. DCS has never looked better

Yeah I'm getting this one too. I'm glad to see that it's not just my rig

I have just encountered the exact same issue as this. Almost exact flight parameters and the exact same lights on the failure warning panel, with the same fuel issue. I was able to land before fuel starvation, but without lights or primary instruments. No track file.

Yes, this one worked for me too

That's done the job thanks. I'm just so used to seeing TDC and binding it. You are a splendid person indeed

Yes, that's what I've had to do, but I can't bind the analogue stick for this exact purpose as you can on the A10 and similar. I've had to bind a hat to it which I'll probably need for something else in the seemingly realestate heavy HOCAS of the Apache, and I've got a perfectly good (well twitchy af) analogue stick going spare. Unless they're simulating how the cursor opperates in the real aircraft, then I'm hoping it's an oversight

As of the title. I am unable to map the TDC cursor control to my Thrustamaster Warthog TDC. The only TDC cursor option in axis settings is ‘as a mouse’, which I cannot select on the Throttle column

Same issue with me too. I am relieved that it's not just me. Thanks for raising this problem

You sir, are a figurative life saver

Hopefully yours won't get stuck in Hong Kong for 5 days like mine did. Oh and don't trust the FedEX tracking website, it lies like a cheap watch! Good luck

Mine arrived today, and after a a tricky set up I have finally got it to work in DCS. The clarity and visuals are excellent but not 4 times better than the G2 (which I also have)as could be infered from the price. I had an issue with weird distortions in DCS, where objects in the cockpit would move contrary to the outside world, and this was a total immersion killer. However, it seems that I'm not the first person on these forums to have this issue, and by utilising the DCS VR Debug tool I was able to flip the display in each eye, which (somehow) fixed the problem instantly, and it now looks great. The motorised automatic IPD adjustment is a nice feature, as is the cooling fans that blow lightly across your eyes, plus it's a very comfortable well balanced HMD. I'm not sure that the price compared to my Reverb G2 is worth the upgrade cost, but it's a high quality piece of kit and I look forward to fine tuning it in and getting the most from it. Lastly, a final weird downside for me, is that the image is now so clear and well rendered that it's made the map outside the cockpit look more "gamey", which kind of detracts from the immersion for me. First world problems eh?

I fly on Alpenwolf's server too, and usually on the red side as they will more often than not have the fewer players. Not that I'm any good, because I'm not, but I find that ensuring that you go into a fight fast and with plenty of fuel to burn is the only way, and then play them at the vertical game. Another quirk of this particular server plays into the hands of the Fishbed at little bit, as Alpenwolf is very strict on the weapon load outs that you can take. This has obviously been done to balance the sides (otherwise the blues would just send waves of Viggens and clusterbomb the reds to death)and as a result only rear aspect ir aim missles are availiable for both sides. However there is an exception for the reds, in the form of the usually woeful R3-R. I like to keep a couple of pylons free for this missle on the Fishbed, because with it you can gain a front aspect lock and fire your weapon at an oncoming F5, and whilst your adversary is thinking "ehhh?! WTF" it's to late for them. I only know this trick because I have fallen victim to it myself, and it's a nice little ace up the sleeve for the 21

I had nothing but problems with DCS in VR after I ill advisedly updated my PC to Windows 11. To compound matters, I accidentally deleted my win 10 restoration files so i couldn't revert back to Windows 10. Following the most recent mandatory Windows 11 update, which left me unable to access my own PC's settings app, I bit down on a very bitter pill and carried out a full clean install of windows 10. My advice to anyone considering updating to 11 is this; walk away and don't look back.

You could do all of that, or you could move your head left and upwards a bit then press your recentre view key

This is why I love flying in VR. I just lean my head over, probably in the same way the original pilots had to. It all adds to the realism

Firstly, great mod I love it. It's only a small matter, but I have noted a definite break in the engine sounds when starting up and shutting down. On shut down for instance, there seems to be a period of silence between the initial shut down of the engine and the spool down. Plus when the sound of the engine spool down starts, it cuts off abruptly before the engine fully spools down to silence. This issue occurs every time, but I have also noticed that on occasion there is also a break in the sound during afterburner selection. This second issue I am unable to replicate with reglularity, it just happens from time to time. These issues aren't game breakers, they just detract from VR immersion a bit in an otherwise great module Thanks

Issue resolved. It seems with these two modules it was some kind of conflict with the VR hand controllers. The controllers themselves were not bound to anything, but if I switched them off the problem went away. So after a bit of testing I found that if I disabled the hand controllers in each of the affected module's control bindings menu, this issue went away but I was still able to use the controllers in game.

I've checked them all and rebound them just in case, but all bindings are sound

I'm going to blow some well deserved smoke up some well deserving backsides, by saying congratulations so far on 2.7. The clouds are utterly superb in VR, better in my opinion than MSFS 2020, and couple this with the far superior flight model and the whole experience in VR is just sublime. Additionally, and I don't know if this has been intentional or not, but the shadows of the clouds on the landscape, has added a whole extra layer of beauty to the maps. Valleys look deeper and the sensation of altitude is more pronounced. Well done ED on raising the bar on an already amazing sim....now fix the VR hand controllers ;D

I play exclusively in VR so I don't know if this is an issue related to VR or if it's repeatable on a flat panel too. When I use the 2 Heatblur mods that I have, the F-14 and the AV8B, when in cockpit view the pitch controls don't work at all and the roll axis only intermittently. However if I switch to any external view the controls work just fine. Yaw axis through my rudder pedals seems unaffected, and all my other mods work great as usual. I use the Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas and the Thrustmaster Pendular peddles.

I have had a reply on my ticket and they have clarified that it is a bug and is earmarked for a fix. So fingers crossed it won't take long

I have had this same issue for as long as I've been playing DCS. Over time I have found that when not using the hand controllers, I place them in my lap with the handles facing towards my junk. This has the effect of making the in game hand avatars face away from the stick and in this position they rarely seem to automatically grab the controls

Not only has the pointer lasers gone, but the thumbsticks no longer work, so I can't rotate dials or even flick a switch off once I have turned it on. I only ever play DCS in VR and it is now completely unplayable. I hope this is just a bug that's been flagged for fixing, because without hand controllers DCS is finished for me.
