The US _did_ have an equivalent HMD (VTAS) deployed at the same time. They decided not to deploy it widely, though. The key word here is "dogfight". The US knew BVR combat was more important than dogfighting performance and prioritized that instead. Doesn't matter if you're even or disadvantaged at close range if you can win consistently at long range.

> An old mig29 should beat with no problem a modern F-16 or F-18 or mirage2000 in dogfight. We don't have to speculate- actual trials were performed! So: - Prior to the deployment of AIM-9X and western HMDs, it was indeed extremely capable in a dogfight. This advantage disappeared in 2002. - Pilot workload is higher than the western aircraft. - Fuel range is a significant limiting factor. Great plane to have a dogfight in through the 90s. Not the best choice to go to war in. So I'd say: > An old mig29 should beat with no problem a modern F-16 or F-18 or mirage2000 in dogfight. Is a false claim. But if we tweak it a bit: > An old mig29 should beat with no problem a F-16 or F-18 or mirage2000 of the same era in dogfight. Yeah, I think if there was a skilled pilot in the MiG-29, this is a plausible statement.

Bumping this- can we get a response from ED? Even a "seen"?

This is all very confusing

Updated: - My buddy provided more information from testing the Bigscreen Beyond. After some tweaking, it's proven good enough to move into the recommended section- though like all VR headsets it has a number of caveats and tradeoffs to consider. - With the terrain changes in 2.9.3 we've found that you can push preload radius much higher than in previous versions. Updated guidance to encourage users to test higher preload radius settings.

I am making an AI powered GCI bot for DCS. It uses fully local speech recognition and voice synthesis with no Cloud APIs or monthly bills required. The voice synthesis uses modern technology that sounds very human-like, similar to a commercial voice assistant or some newer AI voice clone technologies. You can learn more at https://github.com/dharmab/skyeye - the bot is not yet ready but I am making rapid progress and I think you will all be able to try it before the end of the year. I hope I will be able to make a demo video in a few weeks but real life always takes priority of course. So no promises! I do not check the DCS forums very often or use social media so forgive me if I don't reply. But feel free to follow updates to the GitHub repo!

Updated: - I purchased a Meta Quest Pro, and spoke to a buddy who has been using a Pimax Crystal and Bigscreen Beyond. Based on our findings, the guide now has more information on VR headset recommendations and tweaks specific to Meta headsets. Guidance on MSAA with VR is also updated. - Added a short section recommending some good headtrackers, and an anti-recommendation for buying NaturalPoint TrackIR due to high price and lower refresh rate compared to competing products. - Guide now clarifies how to find your Saved Games folder depending if you upgraded from Open Beta or started on Stable. - Updated guidance on SSD free space.

Updated: - Added recommendation against using Steam when playing in VR due to widely reported performance issues - Added a safer version of the antivirus tweak Spudknocker posted on his YouTube channel, with a cautionary note about the risks when using mods or playing multiplayer.

I've been working on a Performance & Settings Guide for nearly a year now, combining both my own original research and verified information I've gathered from various DCS Discord servers. Click To Read The Guide Did You Know: - You can reduce DCS World's disk usage by over 100GB with no performance hit? - You can pass through your HOTAS and keyboard into your VR cockpit, even on headsets as old as the HP Reverb G2? - You can set up separate graphics profiles and launch shortcuts for 2D and VR? - Running low on disk space can reduce game performance? - Enabling DOCP/EOCP can increase CPU performance by over 10%? - Setting preload radius too high OR too low can cause problems? - Raising LOD Switch Factor can make ships look better? - Resizing your kneeboard pages to fit your display can improve performance? - The AMD User Experience Program is incredibly cursed I make an effort to update this about once a month

This is consistently reproducible by repeatedly pressing the OSBs with both left and right mouse together until it happens. Try holding the OSB for a few seconds each time. It can also be cleared the same way.

> After hearing recently that SRS was no longer being maintained This is not true, as you can verify on their GitHub and Discord. Did you get this confused with OverlordBot?

For anyone else who was confused like me, the link for 0.81 at https://cam.em-key.de/download-2/ is also the download link for the current version of the mod.
