it used to be goggles in hog as I recall, I tended to avoid night missions until I got an Aero, I'll try fiddling with the gain

so I did something to my night vision somewhere along the way and I cannot sort out what, I've tried uninstalling mods and doing a repair to no avail. NVG is no longer looking through goggles and is just a filter across my entire vision, the HUD (and other light sources) are so blown out it makes night flying pretty much impossible. any ideas?

I will second that it's a waste of money, very cool in concept but none of them, regardless of quality or phone screen or anything really actually feel like VR the way a legit HMD does. Take the money you would have spent on these and put it toward a quest2 or a used G1 or something and you'll be much better off. EDIT: I will the say I used a google daydream phone based HMD to watch movies on an amtrak a couple times way back in the day and it was passable for that task, but still nowhere near as good as even Gen 1 dedicated vr headsets (vive, cv1, etc) and they would be fully useless for playing on DCS on.

I have the same issue, though really I'm not finding that I need either with the aero getting pretty stable 40-60fps kind of amazing considering how much I struggled to maintain those same numbers with the Index

well even if I wanted to fsr and nis crashes DCS for me for some reason, I'll try dipping the resolution override down a little and see where it lands me. My real issue is I think I have a bit of the dreaded smear/ghosting going on with my HMD, gonna play around with it for the night and reach out varjo about a possible RMA

DCS crashes if I enable FSR and then lower the resolution in the openxr menu below 100% (which by my understanding you need to do for it to actually apply upscaling?) anyone else having this issue? just got my aero today and the image looks amazing I'm just trying to cut down on the ghosting

as I understand it that's how it works IRL, single eye projection is accurate.

I see hmd.hlsl what do I need to edit in there to correct the nvg issue?

I'm having this issue too! been trying to narrow down which VR enhancement bodge is to blame without luck.

I just used sticker sheets of hook and loop off amazon and it feels totally secure to me, its never detached or needed adjustment, it helps that the vpc throttles are just a big flat square with lots of surface area, another model of throttle could have less surface area and hypothetically be less firmly stuck.

I don't have a solution for you but that's adorable and I love it.

oh I don't mind at all, any excuse to show off my eternally under construction simpit is a good excuse.

yeah definetly not for a stick, but I use velcro for my throttle, mfds and some button boxes and it works just fine

I just used velcro and its been holding up perfectly for over a year now, throttle is rock solid.

my understanding is that is the resolution for the mirror image displayed on your monitor of your vr view, I have mine set to its minimum.

Lshift-F7 is not opening the menu for me for this version, I believe it is installed and working I have the files in my directory and i installed it using open mod manager like I do for everything else, is there a settings file where this hotkey is set that I could check?

my dude, give these a look, they really help https://www.etsy.com/listing/1170534558/f18-hornet-toggle-set-11-toggle-covers?ref=yr_purchases

I too eagerly await our God King of structured testing to elucidate on this matter.

between these: https://www.amazon.com/Bump-Dots-Visually-Impaired-Assortment/dp/B07HCPR6K2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=KJ7IRY1YAMKA&keywords=tactile+bump+stickers&qid=1648406046&sprefix=tactile+bump+stickers%2Caps%2C58&sr=8-1 and these: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1170534558/f18-hornet-toggle-set-11-toggle-covers?ref=yr_purchases you can make the VPC control panels very vr friendly, I use mine every time I fly and always in vr.

thats awesome, just ordered for my (someday) incoming aero. Wish I'd known about these when I got my index lo those many years ago now, I've always been very careful when cleaning the lenses but despite my best efforts the soft plastic of the lenses are no marred by a bunch of micro scratches.

actually I think I just sorted it out, opened it up and I had not fully pressed the connector that runs to the other panel all the way in, I will leave this post up so future generations can benefit from my posting before thoroughly investigating the issue. Thanks for the quick reply VBK, you continue to be my favorite simgear maker!

I've noticed my vkb SEM setup (the landing panel and the civilian air panel with the two rotary encoders on its face) seem to lose usb communication frequently in between sessions and need to be replugged to function again, its not a big deal I just turn that usb port on and off (I have a big powered usb hub) but none of my other 15 or so components require this. anyone else noticed this behavior?

I'm going on a year with my MCG and I still love everything about it, its a million times better than anything thrustmaster makes, and while I've never owned a virpil stick I've played with my buddies and the VKB (while much bigger) feels MUCH higher quality by almost every metric. I've never sampled winwings sticks so I can't comment on them.

I bought and returned one, coming from the index I found the pimax ergonomics and comfort to be very lacking for its cost

a small quality of life improvement that I've come to really love is the aftermarket fan I have installed in my index's frunk, I tried to use a pimax for a bit and aside from a host of other comfort and fit issues I had with it I *really* missed my little eyeball fan.
