Nice promo vid! I did NOT see the transition from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to the (motley) deck crew coming. 8)

I would vote yes but only for the AC-130 Gunship. and I wouldn't want to fly it... just want the guns.

Yes we virtually can. VR. ;)

:thumbup:

Sounds good! ^see wot I did there?

Look at the voting results for this question... the majority are against. Let it go.

Boom.

It does.

Sounds like you need to downgrade to a trackIr. ;)

True. I'm sure if ED wanted, they could come up with a better fix.

Sell 3 of the monitors and go VR.:smartass:

I'm using the TM Warthog HOTAS with Oculus Rift CV1 and the A-10C almost exclusively. The controls are not an issue. Most everything is on the HOTAS, the comm menu ican be controlled byu mouse. Using the F keys is not as intuitive as I would like... but I always have my keyboard in the same place and it is easy to find F1 then move to the right and find the desired one. To quote Wrench: "VR is frickin amazeballs" :)

Thanks for that info Ironhand. If dropping the temp 20 degrees gets more realistic performance... then a simple work-around while we wait/hope for an ED fix, is for the mission builder to simply drop the temp. Unfortunately the lower temps are map specific... Lowest temp in Persian Gulf is +14.3c. Perhaps if ED allowed mission builder to select cold temps in all the maps independent of the month selected?

That thought has crossed my mind as well. Possible atmospheric modeling issue. It is interesting to note that, if you want to explore the maximum aircraft performance (due density altitude), in DCS, the Caucasus map is by far the best map to fly. Minimum allowable temp in mission editor: Persian Gulf +14.3c Nevada -1.3c Caucasus -12.4c I think I may have a way to possibly rule out the weapon drag issue... Will try find time to do some temp/drag testing later today.

See my responses in red.

+1

The Rift CV1 was not a great fit over glasses. The Rift S fits easier over the glasses but still snug... contacts are best for use with the Rift imo.

Clearly you had a tape deck strapped to your leg and the rock'in soundtrack made it all work! :music_whistling:

DAWS is a mod?

Hi Ironhand, Thanks for that. Fixed.

Formatting messed up in the above post... Here is a word doc with proper formatting of the above info. Vg Test - Copy - Copy.doc

For giggles, I wanted to see the relationship (in the DCS A-10C), between weight, G loading and AoA. I recorded 2 tracks. Test #1 was at aircraft max weight, test #2 was at minimum aircraft weight. Both flights start at 25k. I attempted (as best I could), to maintain barber pole while in a descending spiral, and at the same time pulling to and maintaining the steady tone. (manual says the steady tone comes on within 2 angle of attack units of stall) I accelerated while in the spiral following the barber pole and continued increasing the G loading to just shy of the chopped tone. Then I replayed the tracks pausing every 1k feet and recording the IAS, AoA and G loading. I did this at max and min weights. Here below are the results: Test #1 @ Max Weight Test #2 @ Min Weight Alt IAS AoA G Alt IAS AoA G 19k 330 6.7 2.7 19k 332 5.4 3.4 18k 340 6.3 2.3 18k 345 5.3 3.5 17k 348 6.7 2.5 17k 350 6.3 4.0 16k 355 6.8 2.7 16k 350 6.8 5.1 15k 360 6.6 3.0 15k 354 6.0 5.2 14k 366 6.8 3.1 14k 362 6.1 5.3 13k 374 6.8 3.2 13k 366 7.1 6.7 12k 380 7.0 3.2 12k 372 7.2 6.9 11k 388 7.1 3.5 11k 378 7.5 7.5 10k 393 6.5 3.9 10k 388 6.9 7.3 9k 400 6.6 4.1 9k 395 6.8 7.2 8k 402 7.6 4.9 8k 392 8.2 8.6 7k 404 7.1 4.7 7k 382 9.2 8.5 6k 405 7.6 4.8 6k 370 10.5 8.5 5k 402 9.3 5.6 5k 349 11.8 8.9 Formatting screwed up in the forum. See the post below with word doc and results in proper format. Notes: 1. IAS was read from the cockpit steam gauge. Alt, AoA and G were read from the F2 page. 2. See the attached track files. test 1 max wt spiral @ barber pole, maintaining max sustained G @ stdy tone.trk test 2 min wt spiral @ barber pole, maintaining max sustained G @ stdy tone.trk

I hear you on the r/l obligations... glad for whatever you can do on this issue. Interestingly some similar talk on the new F-16 module in a thread titled: "Is the viper under performing? An experiment on sustained level turns" There are some suggestions in that thread that the Viper may be suffering from an external stores drag issue... To which I reply, Wait yer flippin turn! :pilotfly:
