Re VR, If this is true I will be over the moon! Fingers crossed. And thanks in advance ED.

I'm about half way through OCN and loving it, just as I did with Kerman. You really understand how to make compelling campaigns that have a good mix of challenges and complexity and unrivalled immersion imo. I'm learning so much about correct procedures etc, but can still complete/enjoy missions as I go - with all the mistakes I make along the way. Find myself rationing playing OCN to make it last!

Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU. Loving your FBO series of missions. Great way to improve skills, learn planes and have fun. One thing - I can never seem to get the tanker in refuel training to acknowledge 'intent to refuel'. Is this broken or is it me? I request refuel after spawning and it doesn't extend basket. Distance from tanker makes no difference either? Thank you

You were right. I needed to change the coordinates format. Learnt something today, thanks @rob10

I will check this. Thanks @rob10 and @RaisedByWolves Almost certainly my error by the looks of it.

Not sure if this is an error introduced in updated Syriah map, but the coordinates given for the VIP target appear to be for an unpopulated area just outside the target's town? I changed WP 4 to be the target coordinates. Then set WP 4 as target in flir. It shows as correct coordinates in FLIR but it is an unpopulated area? Is this an error or my mistake again? Thanks Has anyone played Mission 5 since latest map update - does it work for you? Thanks

Yes. I also hope it works well in VR. Will also wait and see.

I can hear this direction so clearly in the VO now

Hahaha! That's so funny. It said turn left and then left so thought I was heading correct way. Plus, as you say, flight lead was taking off from that end. What convinced me I was going in correct direction (should have read runway number) was that I was stuck behind the slow-moving taxiway vehicle - which I assumed was there to guide me. Looking forward to taking off! If this is even close to as good as the Kerman campaign I'm going to love it. Thanks for your help, Have a great rest of your week,

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AiZ6bvYaMpz7hf1DU4xuoEGXI7RlAw?e=jJUrFq Track file for you. Thanks

I can confirm all the above criteria are met. I have repeated the first part of the mission three or four times with the same result. I'm using MT DCS version if that makes any difference. If you are, then agree it must be something my end. I did complete the Kerman campaign and all was good, so I am familiar with the triggers / conditions / radio etc (I know F18 needs enter on UFC unlike Harrier). Thanks for your help. I'm away from my PC for a week so will pick this up later with track files etc. Sure I'm missing something obvious – so look forward to taking off soon! Thanks, Have a good week.

Just retried mission. Made sure to press enter after selecting comm 2 channel 2. Tried switching back and forth many times. No F10 menu despite being requested to contact tower. Looks like it’s a bug. Please investigate. I’m on the latest open beta multithread version. Thanks

Thanks. I was aware of the ‘enter’ bug before trying. So I’m pretty sure I did press enter. I switched channel several times and came back to channel 2 after. I will check again just in case.

Thanks for your help. Re mission 1 1) Autostart - now works (think it was something to do with throttle not being fully off). 2) comms menu - these were mapped in comms panel section not HOTAS. Comms menu now visible in flight (thanks). 3) F10 campaign-specific menu - not triggering as intended. I hold short of runway 05. Given instruction to contact tower. Set correct channel on comm 2. Enter. No F10 menu so unable to request takeoff permission. (See uploaded screens). Thanks.

Hi, just purchased this after loving the Kerman campaign for the Harrier. Stuck on mission 1. Use Autostart and it fails (right engine parameter). Autostart works fine on the instant action cold and dark mission. f10 menu disappears after requesting engine start. Have tried both easy comms on and off. Kerman campaign worked flawlessly. Not sure what's going on? help appreciated - would love to use this campaign.

@Flappie thanks for the update (also seeing this behaviour). Are you able to tell us if the team are confident on improving MT VR performance further? I get better VR performance now in missions like DCS liberation (no longer need to run it on separate server – so nice improvement). But I now have to turn off all shadows and it's still a bit jerky low level. I guess we'll always want more, right? Thanks

Yes, sorry – comment was meant for @Hootman9104

@Hootman9104 There is a plugin that works with open composite to remove the apache rotor to avoid the MR issue (does other things too). Might be worth giving it a try if you use MR? I’ve had to stop using MR with MT as I get frequent crashes with MR. But I miss how smooth it could make things flying low level. Good luck!

@rss0900I have a similar setup to you (but with AMD CPU not intel). Before MT, I found a significant performance increase by moving away from steam VR completely. I now use openXR direct thought WMR. You can download the WMR tools to adjust settings. https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/openxr-tools-for-windows-mixed-reality/9N5CVVL23QBT?hl=en-us&gl=us If you have the disk space, you could try running DCS on the standalone version (not steam version) and you 'might' see an improvement also. Since MT, there is some odd behaviour (as others have noted) and my CPU runs very hot (much hotter than when stress-testing it with benchmarking apps) so there is some optimisation to do. I only see a slight (few fps) gain with MT over ST at the moment. But it is a slight gain.

@BIGNEWY Crashed CTD VR latest OB. Files uploaded. Hope helpful. Crash log dxdiag.zip

MT VR locked to 45 fps (ST = 39-41 fps) | CPU bound (Reverb G2, 32GB RAM, 3090, AMD 5900x (12/24 core), Rogue strix x-570) Motion reprojection: OFF Nvidia CP Max frames set to 1000 Open XR toolkit: Disabled CPU running very hot. Hotter than multicore cinebench stress test. Track file, dxdiag, log and screenshots from hardware monitor etc attached Update: Some of this may be GPU bottleneck - will try some tests with low graphics settings also. DCS diag info.zip

Thanks for the update/fixes. Looking forward to trying/testing MT VR again.

Thanks @phillik747

@NineLineI get negligible improvement in VR (G2, 3090, 32gb ram amd ryzen 9 5900x) But MT improvement is significant in 2D. (I've already reported this and uploaded logs etc in discord and forum). I'm interested to know if ED are aware of this VR-specific issue, and if it's related to AMD CPUs? I'm assuming VR will also see significant gains with MT at some point down the line? Many thanks.
