@Firecat - Is there a way you could add a line to where we are on the waiting list? Maybe like a -------------between name #29 & #30 if the 'now serving' was currently #20-#29? It may just be an easier way for us to see where we are on the list with shipping instead of checking through the thread to see when the last group was announced. :)

You've been exceptionally informative Miles in this whole process so thank you for that. I know we are all eager to get our hands on this device but I think its fair to say that none of us would have had the resolve to 'do this right' like you've been doing in building/rolling this out. Its been a pleasure to come here daily & see the progress! I'm on the initial slow roll out list & will have bandwidth next week/weekend to test this if you are looking for a volunteer on that list. :thumbup:

Hey Miles/Firecat First wanna say that SUPER EXCITED about this product! Can't wait to get my hands on this (or should I say get it on my hands!). I was wondering to the timing of order fulfillment. It sounds like go-live shipping will be happening here in the next week or so but I was curious to the cadence of shipments? Will this be in 10/wk or 20/week batches? I'm in the top 100 & will buy on the day I'm allowed but I'm in the tail end of a new pc build so wasn't sure if I need to allocate funds to this within the next couple weeks or if this is a month or more out based on where I'm at in the list? Any insight is greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work guys!!!

All good Firecat. I didn't receive a PM either but appreciate all the communication your providing in helping Miles. It hard to keep up with how fast this thread is moving now but appreciate being able to find your posts & have a clear understanding of how this is progressing from a release standpoint! Ready to purchase when my number is called!!

This is great news Miles!!! I'll keep an eye out for that PM. Ready to pay/test when you're are!!

Miles & Firecat, If you could add me to initial roll out list I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd got some good bandwidth over the next couple of months to put PointCTRL through its paces!!!

Long time lurker. Miles count me in for one of these!

Decoy - I'm about to pick one of these platforms up here in the next few weeks. Would you be willing to share your SimTools profile with me? Would love to have it to test the platform out of the box & make tweaks as needed to my personal preference. Not sure of forum rules but if you can't post in this thread could you PM it to me? TIA!

Thanks so much for the reply. Once I read through the whole thread & got my answers but I appreciate the added context above!

Just getting back into DCS & flying the A-10. Does anyone have any good settings for the rudder input that I could use? Everything I find that may have picture of their settings seem to be pretty old & the pic is no longer available. Thanks!

Read the whole thread & got most of my questions answered......guess I should start with that next time! Thanks for all the great detail you've provided!!!

Just stumbled across this thread as I'm just getting back into all things DCS during the holiday break. I currently have Oculus Rift & I've been pondering a motion platform for quite some time now.....and this looks like the perfect price point to do so without spending $3K - $4K (I was thinking of going with a V3 NLR platform) as the entry level price to do so! A couple questions if you don't mind: Does the platform come with side/center mounts for a HOTAS setup or is that a separate cost? Want to be able to use it for Elite Dangerous as well as DCS (Hog & Harrier). How loud is it? I will be flying mainly at night or weekends when the rest of the family is asleep. This will be down the hallway from their bedrooms but curious to how loud this would be in a family home environment. Will be mainly using for flight sims...so would it make sense to go for the H2 or H3? Wondering if the H3 would translate in the Harrier or E:D when hovering & rotating. Not sure that can be answered here but curious. TIA for anything you can answer here! Hopefully I will be joining the motion platform family soon!

So does the framerate counter give the FPS per eye or the overall render? I had to scale back my setting from a monitor setup & I'm getting about 45 fps in DCS 2.0 (not over Vegas). ' With a new computer build underway & hopefully some upcoming improvements to VR by ED this could be a very fun summer!!!!

Thanks Derek! Big fan of your work man. Never dove all-in on sim racing but with the CV1 I may have to give it another try! Any VR racing sim recommendations? The issue I'm having is actually in v.1.5. It seems there are times when it gets close (off a bit to one side or another) but most times it starts in that 'above cockpit' position. I've tried resetting my view in Oculus but that doesn't have an effect. Most times I'm having to manually reset the view...but I do wish I could just save it & have it there each time.

Hey everyone! Just got my CV1 recently & finally got a chance to try DCS with it. First off THIS is the experience I have been waiting for in sims since I started playing falcon 3.0 back in my youth! Its absolutely amazing to be IN the cockpit & not just being a part of the viewing experience on a monitor. If this is 1st gen.....I can't wait to see what is ahead! But enough with my gushing about VR. I'm still trying to find my way around the best DCS VR experience & one thing I'm having a bit of difficulty with is that when I come into the cockpit before the missions starts I'm literally sitting a few feet above the cockpit. So I found that NUM 5 re-centers you in the cockpit & if I use RSHIFT & RCTRL with the num pad I can move myself into the best seating position for me in VR. I've tried the 'save view' with RALT + NUM 0 but when I come back into the cockpit after exiting it....its not the same position I saved. Is this a known issue, bug or am I doing something wrong? Is there a 'load view' function I'm missing?

Best wishes for your Mom my friend. Hope she has a speedy recovery.

That a smart idea with the trackball. I'm sure its a hell of a lot easier than pushing a mouse around. Plus Im sure reptition of locating it while in VR will get easier with practice. May have to channel my inner Karate Kid!

So does anyone know if the consumer version will have some way to 'peek' at the outside world without having to lift up the OR? It's great having a clickable cockpit but getting my hand back to the mouse off the HOTAS has me on the fence about picking this up. Anyone know or know from their DK2 experience?

Love the app boarder2! With DCS 1.52 going to public release today will this mean that this app will work with 1.52? Will there be an update to the app or with this happen by default? Keep up the great work!

So I uninstalled 1.2 the other day as I was running out of disk space but still have 1.5.2.48726 & 2.0.0.48763.61 installed when it comes to DCS. Is there anything I need to in regards to 1.52 becoming public release? My main directory says "DCS World OpenBeta" for 1.52. Do I need to reinstall or anything?

Does any have a US-based company that can laser-cut plexiglass? I'm interested in building this but don't have a company (that I know of) around my area that can do this. Any suggestions from those that have done this already?

For some reason my Beta is still 2.6.4.30 & Alpha is 2.6.5.31. I'm assuming I can unzip 2.6.9.43 into my bin folder for both installs & it will do its thing to update those versions right?

Need a little help here. So I noticed that none of my Updaters are at the version level on this page link. Is DCS_updater 2.6.9.43 for Stable, Beta, Alpha...or all 3? Thanks CJ

Nevermind...fixed.....:)

I cant get the latest update to install unfortunately. Keep getting an "application cannot be started error.
