Apache 64

Hi guys, I'm getting my first VR glasses tomorrow. I've been reading along here for a while and am wondering if I can even install Quest 2 with the current problems DCS has with this headset. I'm using DCS as a standalone version (no Steam). What do you guys think? Is it not working at all at the moment? Does link cable or wifi make a difference? Is it currently possible for me to get the older Oculus software version on an initial install? Would be great if you guys could help.

The bug has been reported. But as you have already noticed, it takes quite a long time. I don't understand that either. After all, this feature has been working since the first day Apache was released. But you can't give up hope. @Wags..any news on this one?

That would be nice:

Hi all, Bug does not appear anymore in DCS 2.9.3.51704. Many thanks

reported? anyone?

The tail rotor does not casts shadow anymore. If the engine stands still there is tail rotor shadow but if it has minimal speed, the disappears completely. That was no prob earlier. There where shadows all the time. Have attached some screens frome the actual version and some older ones. Actual DCS Open Beta: earlier versions:

Sorry

I feel with you. Unfortunately, nobody at ED seems to be interested in this. There have been no improvements or fixes to clouds and weather for ages.

... and now for the Apache too...please

Simply awesome!

Many thanks for these fixes / improvements and the pilot boddies for the Hind. Hopefully you could implement the same for the Apache soon. Would be really great. Thanks and best regards

The same for me. If you activate ATT-Hold in a normal trimmed straight flight, the helicopter leans to the right every second. More and more and flies right turns.

I was afraid of this And as already mentioned: it also disturbs in non-VR

Tested it with OB 2.9 and now it is fixed. Does not happen anymore with different settings. I was hoping that 2.9 would solve the problem. And it does.

I have added some simpler steps to reproduce the problem and that it is only MT. What additional input can I provide since it is still on "need more info"? thanks

... and to clarify again: i don't refer especially to VR. It's way more important for TrackIR or other head trackers. We do not need boundaries in our 6DOF view, we need to "loose" our head in the F1 view like in all your other modules too. Thank you

...that would be so great if this would happen (and not only in VR). No one needs the own head in the F1 view, like in all other DCS modules. (or at least optional)

Problem still exists. I can reproduce it quite easily. When you go to the exterior view, the rotor head is animated flawlessly. In the pilots cockpit view (F1), select on one of the MFDs under VID to TADS. Switch to the exterior view (F2) and you see the rotor head flickers and disappears temporarily. If you switch VID to NoVid, in the cockpit, the error in the outside view disappears immediately and permanently until you activate VID again. I also see the error in various online streams. Additional info: MT ONLY ...no problem with ST version.

What a journey...came from here (1986) Amstrad CPC ...do we discuss framrates enough Can´t thank ED enough for making my dream come true.

Known MT Bug:

Thats the way it works. I thought that was clear. You need a deadzone for the used stick and you have to wait not too long on the edge for the second input to change the display. But you MUST wait a millisecond at the edge. It will not switch to the other screen in one fluidly movement trough the edge. If your pause is more than perhabs half a second or you start the movement on the edge, you must "double move" the stick within short period of time to switch to the other display.

@Lord Vader...sorry for the late reply. Had to build a new rig because my old rig died Unfortunately I can not provide a track, but as soon as I see the bug again I will make sure to save a track.

AI Kiowa does door slamming during simple way point flying. They open and close as if he uses them as air brakes (or does he flutter like a bird?) Track attached. AI Kiowa door slamming.trk

The Apache in DCS has no visible heat blur / heat flickering like other helicopters or jet turbines in game. Would be great to see this on the Apache too.

The rotor disk or rotor cone no longer corresponds to cyclic or collective movements. It is always flat and horizontal. No inclination forward or to the side. No more cone with more collectiv. Nothing. The only movement you can see is the rotation and the blade pitch angle. No track attached: should be easy to reproduce. No idea from which version this occurred for the first time. Seen in the current Open Beta DCS 2.8.5.40170
