I had messed up quite a bit. I had to set the origing angle offset to a negative value, to be able to use head tracking for selection. But now it works. Thanks.

So I thought the module should be somewhat "mature" at this point. But unfortunately I just can't figure out how to solve this. I'm usiing a Varjo Aero and when Jester asks me what kind of alignment I would like, I cannot answer. The options for this question are not visible. I tried to look at earlier topics about this but I admit I'm too stupid to understand any of it. I would also like to decrease the size of the ordinary Jester UI somewhat.

I guess the problem for me was the update of the Afghanistan map. It's pretty huge as far as I can tell. So it would be nice to be able to download the maps separately while not blocking the rest of DCS. I tried to disable it in the new start GUI thing but that didn't work.

So with 13 hours of estimated download time I just wonder if I can tell the updater to somehow just update the core files. Later I would like it to update just ModuleXX or TerrainXX. Since I have a second install on a laptop with just the basic files I can see that it's update is much smaller.

So this is how it went. I made a home made haptic solution and went for the SimHaptic software. This was a huge improvment to the JetSeat I have which was just ... vibrating. The mini amp that drives the speakers is a Fosi ZK-1002D bought on Amazon. You can connect it via an audio cable, USB or Bluetooth. In short if I run it as a USB audio device i get problems. Now I'm using Bluetooth and it seems to work well. Not what I thougt it would be. Hopefully someone else will benefit from this info

So I've been fiddling around a bit and messed with the checkboxes in the VR Settings (DCS that is). The checkboxes are "Use Quad View" and "Track the eyes". I thought I would share the results to any Aero user out there. So I made some test with the Huey Cold Start on the Kola map. I just looked at what the fps were after entering the mission. None of the boxes ticked: 49-ish "Use Quad Views" 52-ish "Track the Eyes" 49-ish Both boxes ticked DCS crashes I the made the registry hack as per Settings Tips for OpenXR Applications: Varjo Quad View and Foveated Rendering – Varjo.com I only added the ForceFoveatedRendering stuff Now with "Use Quad Views" ticked I jumped up to 79-ish in fps.

Hi, so sometime after the latest patch (DCS 2.9.11.4686) I found that the startup of DCS World has been very slow: From the DCS.log I can see that the line after "DCSScene initialized" is written 8 minutes later. 2025-01-06 15:56:31.235 ERROR_ONCE DX11BACKEND (22784): texture 'KevinWakePattern812x1024.dds' not found. Asked from '' 2025-01-06 15:56:31.266 INFO VISUALIZER (23328): DCSScene initialized 2025-01-06 16:04:31.326 INFO VISUALIZER (23328): [17:04:31.587][Info ] OpenXR: Available reference spaces: 3 If I disable the VR it takes less than 0.5 s to go to the next entry from "DCSScene initialized". Using a utility called "Process Monitor" I can see that it looks like DCS is entering som form of debug mode, with entries like: CreateFile C:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin-mt\symbols\dll\AIFM.pdb PATH NOT FOUND As far as I know there are no directories below "bin-mt". The word "symbols" and file extension ".pdb" looks to me like something that has to do with debugging (CreateFile I guess is a call to set up a file handle, not actually creating a file in the general sense) There are tons of these entries with the result of either PATH NOT FOUND or FILE NOT FOUND Here are som other funny entries to paths used with CreatFile that obviously are not part of any directory or user on my computer. C:\Users\rspse\CMakeBuilds\e4d18293-5d1f-4412-b392-e89d5096585a\build\x64-Release-prev\bin\C101Core.pdb C:\repo\build\Codebase\F14AI\F14-AI.pdb E:\Razbam\M-2000C\M-2000C-Source\vs2022\source\AI\Release\M2KC_AI.pdb C:\gitlab\builds\xsp1w_sx\0\leap-v5-platform\libtrack\build\bin\LeapC.pdb I just wonder what has triggered this behaviour. In no VR mode there are no such entries. I'm running a Varjo Aero with the latest base software. I have also done a clean and repair of DCS. When DCS finally is up and running, everthing runs fine in VR. The same performance as before and mission load times are about the same. dcs.log

Well so far I came up with these settings in the Axis Tune Panel: Saturation Y 20 Curvature -10 (Yeah negative) But I guess it's highly dependent on the hardware you got.

Hi, I often find myself that I'm quite zoomed in on the TGP and have to adjust the cursor just a little bit to be on target. However it's really hard to nudge the cursor a small amount. So it ends up with me flying over the target or something else (usually fatal). I do have a winwing throttle so I'm confident that the hardware is good enough. I fiddled a bit with the axis curvature in the options. Also I can se that in the "Special" tab for the A10 there is "thrtl slew" and "mav slew" but I don't understand what these do. Of course it could also be that the slew rate of the TGP is the same regardless of the zoom level. So you would have to make a compromise between slewing at a fully zoomed out view vs a fully zoomed in view. Does anyone know?

So having received my base the other day I just thought I could share my impressions. I've fiddled around with the more "Analog" aircraft, Spitfire, Huey, F-14 and Viggen. And it's good. I would say that after a decent VR headset it's the best thing you could get. However it's more the combination of the two that's so good. One thing that I've not seen any mention anywhere is the fact that the joystick is pretty stiff when you start moving it from the center position. This makes you not overcorrecting the input - suddenly a hover in the Huey is pretty easy, the Spitfire is considerable calmer. Add to that feedback from buffeting etc. and there's a more "connected" feeling to the Aircraft. Although it's 2-3 times the cost of a decent joystick base, what you get is a "next level" experience.

I'm just curios. Why didn't Norway go for F-18 instead of F-16? The F-18 should have a better naval capacity with Harpoons etc.

I just did a short search to see which aircraft are applicable. The Norwegians have F-16, Finns the F-18. Swedes got the Viggen but that is quite an older design. Finland has an interesting history of aircraft, Mig-21 and Swedish Drakens. So maybe we could do a list of applicable AC in the -70, -80, -90 and 2000 for interesting missions. And of course what the Ruskies got, but that should be already known. There ougth to be some nerds out there who knows this.

Oh the push option was there. What I meant is the general commands for changing formation, go to.. etc. that you can give to your flight/wingman.

Well, would an allied commander use a fast jet to try to find a camp? Any camp boss should be able to hide his camp. If the F-18 was equipped with a IR pod it might be possible to detect a camp. Otherwise as an allied commander I would use a drone or a chopper to look for a camp. So NOT finding the camp is a realistic outcome. As for meeting the objectives, that's a bit unclear. In the documentation "1 Deployed".pdf I find the topics: Situation, Orders, Roll Call, Admin, Flight Plan, some maps with the route and a Score System. Here's some examples of what I found to be strange/unclear in this mission: 1. Why bring practice bombs on a mission that might involve live fire? 2. Why can't I give orders to my wingman as usual? 3. What are the ROE? Shouldn't I be able to attack the AAA that shoots at me (or order my wingman to do it)? 4. Should I attack the camp if spotted? 5. If I'm low on fuel, can I hit a tanker? If I'm not that proficient in AAR I should be able to RTB without stopping the campaign as such. 6. Is landing and rearming an option?

So I didn't find any camp. Why is'nt there a Radio option for NOT spotting it? Found the convoy and blew some of them to pieces. At this point low on fuel so I RTB'd by tuning in the Incirklik TACAN and went straight in. Landed and stopped at some F15's. Now the Campaign says I failed but I have no clue why? That makes no sense. IRL there would be a debriefing where you wen't through what happened. Now I have to play it again (and listen to exactly the same voice overs) and chasing some unknown trigger(s). There is nothing that breaks the immersion as much as replaying a mission. As long as you don't get killed you should be able to continue the campaign.
