  1. Turning engine anti-ice on? It's on the right side near the ejection seat arming control.
  2. I bought all my planes and modules and now I should keep paying monthly to use them. Great idea my dude.
  3. Did those two soldiers said something offensive? I don't know what I'm supposed to see.
  4. 1 - Yes. Just the link cable. Mine never goes below 85% or so with a generic $15 USB 3.0 cable. 2 - Never used hand tracking in DCS so I can't help you, but Q3's hand tracking is solid in general.
  5. This is spot on. I don't think you can get better image quality than the Quest 3 for the same price, but it comes with its own set of drawbacks.
  6. This is a question that can only be answered by yourself. You can't explain the VR experience, you have to try it. In my case, once I've tried there's no going back. If for some reason I can't play in VR anymore I will be leaving the game. The immersion is sensational, the feeling of sitting inside the cockpit cannot be compared to anything else, even if you're giving up some visual quality (as 2D will always look better than VR). Some people are not convinced and prefer 2D, and that's ok. There's no right or wrong here, play the way you like.
  7. I did exactly that. Q3 is a logical evolution of the Q2. It's better in almost every sense, but it's not a massive 'omg I can't believe this' improvement. Still, it was worth it for me. Q3 pros: - Lenses. Clarity from edge to edge of the image. No more blurriness outside of the center sweet spot. This is the main difference. - Better sound. - Massively improved color passthrough (this isn't important in DCS, but still). - Better tracking (it started worse than the Q2 but it has improved over time). - Better resolution (cockpit is perfectly readable with PD 1.0, in Q2 I had to push the resolution to overcome the lacking definition / fresnel lenses. So Q3 looks better while pushing less pixels overall compared to Q2). Q3 cons: - Standard strap is atrocious. Very uncomfortable. - Battery comsumption is a little higher than Q2. A couple of weeks ago I plugged my old Q2 for the sake of nostalgia after 6 months of using the Q3. It was awful and I unplugged it again after five minutes. I'd say go for it.
  8. Try replacing the cable. I've had crashes and disconnects when mine was on its last legs. You can try airlink to test if the problems remain. If it keeps crashing, then it's not the cable.
  9. Mirage F1, Phantom, MiG-19, MiG-21, F-5, MiG-23, MiG-25, Su-22, Su-25. If you want to go with mods, A-4. All those are roughly balanced. You can add the F-14A but it would be much better than anything else, like it was in real life during that period. If you want to push to the late 80's you could add the Mirage 2000, F-15, F-18 and F-16 (without AMRAAMs), Su-27 and MiG-29 (without R-77 if you use the S version). For AI, avoid MiG-15 and MiG-21. Their AI flight model is broken unless you add some weight via scripting. F-5 is questionable too, and F1 is annoying in the sense it can fly with perfect control at minimum speed without stalling, in situations YOU flying that plane would drop down like a brick. The rest are decent. SA-2, SA-3 and SA-6 for the red side. Hawk for the blue. If you go into the 80's there are more modern systems, but they become too good for these older planes, at least in my preference. For AAA units, red side ZSU-23-4 and 57-2, M163 for blue. The 23-4 will absolutely murder anything that gets into range. I don't know how realistic is that, but is something to have in mind. You can add older artillery for variety, like the Bofors or the 100mm for the soviets.
  10. Clarity and definition from edge to edge of the image triumphs over anything else the G2 might offer over the Quest 3, in my opinion.
  11. In my experience, changing those values was always for the worse. Leave those settings as default. Meta software does a good enough job adjusting the numbers on its own.
  12. If you're using a cable, try a different one. It might be on its last legs. If you're using air link, check your router for conectivity issues.
  13. This is solid advice.
  14. You have active radar missiles. He doesn't. If you go into a merge with a Tomcat against a Su-27, you're doing it wrong.
  15. After the recent Afghanistan situation and Sinai -that spent more than a year without a single update- I think most of us are realizing that. And not in a positive way.
  16. The frustration, in my case at least, comes from the perceived lack of honesty. Afghanistan was shown in very nice looking videos and they talked over and over again about their new amazing map tech. Then we found out the released map looks worse than Caucasus except for a few small high detailed areas. And when asked they said maybe we'll fix it, maybe we won't. That's not nice. My last purchase was the Phantom, and I don't regret it as it is a fantastic module, even with its problems and the stuff that wasn't added yet. And by the look of things, I won't be buying anything else until they get their **** straight priorities sorted.
  17. That's why you don't buy the hype or believe those "leaks" released by Intel or AMD themselves. Watching the new Intel flagship lose in some games against the 5800X3D is beyond pathetic.
  18. Yes. Specially if you play VR or multiplayer.
  19. Still using it, it has some nice features.
  20. Pretty much this. My Quest 3 dies in under two hours using it over wifi. WIth a generic USB-C cable the battery won't go lower than 80-85% no matter how long I use it. Not to mention the slightly worse visual quality.
  21. Something like this? Add static structures and check "DEAD" box on the right. Or are you looking for something more complex?
  22. The minimum so the aircraft doesn't complain.
  23. After the half baked Kola and Afghanistan (that looks worse than Nevada), no thanks.
  24. Tower PC, 10400, 3060ti, 64GB of RAM, Quest 3 here. I agree.
  25. You mean the vanilla mod without any modification? Yes it runs fine on my end, I've been playing in Sinai for a week building some missions. No issues.
