Mk1_Trebuchet

Yea, some of us need a way to keep it completely off. I suddenly found myself having strange artifacts on the left and right of my triple monitor set up in the Viper..... I spent HOURS trying to figure out if it was something with the Winwing MFD config, or maybe reshade.... Turns out that the visor is down by default, and only rendered to about 49 degrees FOV, so with the triple monitors, there were 2 light bars on either side. And the thing that was driving me nuts was that it stayed like a fixed window hanging in space when zooming the view (attaching what it looked like from the widest zoom). ***Can anyone point me to the Visor config file, I want to mod it transparent until someone puts a config option in.***

The dream is to decouple the HMD from the "view". With a triple screen setup, you'd want your head tracker to move only the HMD, while leaving the view static. This would be an emulation of how a real HMD would work.

I recently moved from VR to a 3 screen setup. Lack of JHMCS is the single biggest thing I miss.

Or you can bypass the whole launcher thing and create a couple of desktop shortcuts to DCS.exe for starting in pancake or VR... For pancake add --force_disable_VR to the end of the shortcut for VR add --force_enable_VR

I was told that they are planning for a release before the end of the year. The demo looked pretty, I'm guessing that most of the work remaining is 'under the hood'.

I was at FSExpo 2025 in Providence this past weekend, and spent a few minutes at their booth speaking with Mr. Grinnelli himself. They had a rig set up with what I assume is a beta build running in VR that folks could demo. Very impressive, looks great, and will add a few new period correct munitions to the game. I can't wait for this one to drop.

I'll save myself a lot of typing and just agree wholeheartedly with LucShep's assessment. I'll just add that if you are not planning on building it yourself, be sure to choose a company that has a history of standing behind their products. (If you're paying a premium to have some do the work, make sure they will stand behind it).

Same as Roosterfeet here. If I close my eyes and recenter on what feels like a neutral position, the 'view' looks off to the right just a bit. I just split the difference and turn my head a bit and recenter. Never really gave it a second thought, been that way with all 3 of the headsets I've owned over the years.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but below is the curve I use on my "Radar Cursor" axis on the F16 (for the cursor on the MFD's - TGP, Mavs, Etc) It produces fine control near the center of the stick, but fast movement if you go to the extents of the stick.

Here to add to the recommendations for a 9800x3d in a gaming rig. I had a 14900K and built a new system with the AMD just for gaming. (the 14900k is now a dedicated CAD workstation) I run VR with a 4090 and typically ran around 90fps (Refresh rate of the Varjo Aero) with some dips to the high 80's. Jumping to the 9800x3d didn't 'boost' my fps, but now the fps is super stable at 90fps with no dips. Guess that Vcache is doing its thing.

Great Job on those!!! For panel making, a 0.2 nozzle on that X1C will change everything. (Sure, it takes 2.5 times longer to print, but the results are far superior to the 0.4) Ironing never gave me acceptable results. It works fine on small parts, but large flat areas end up looking more striated than without ironing. Edit - The Garmin is a WIP and shows "Face Down" printing with the 0.2 nozzle. null

Turns out that a complete uninstall and re-install of the server cleared it up. A slow repair didn't have any effect, but completely clearing out the file structures and installing DCS fresh did the trick.... Never touched the port forwarding or router/firewall.

Update: The DCS Server runs for exactly 20 minutes before it stops listening on external 10308... but I can still connect from within the LAN (All Firewalls and security turned off) Restarting the DCS server resets the clock.

Since the last update my dedicated server will run for a while, but then the windows firewall seems to close the port (10308) or at least it becomes unresponsive from outside. (via CanYouSeeMe) Restarting the DCS server fixes it for a time, but it still 'shuts down' after a while. I've verified the Windows services are still running and there is nothing of note in the event viewer. The server seems to be running, and I can connect to it from inside the LAN..... Been running this server for about a year, this issue only started on the last DCS update. Anyone have any thoughts?

Second to the request for more info on "broken for 3 years". I have it on Trial and was going to pull the trigger, but paying for something that has been 'broken for 3 years" isn't terribly appealing.......

The heatsink can come off, and they sell a version without one. But some kind of cooling is going to be required. It's not likely to self immolate, but going without will shorten its lifespan. Removing the heatsink involves (carefully) removing the factory adhesives. So if you're uncomfortable with potentially destroying the PCB, stick to the version without the HS.

I'll take .5% performance boost or 1% more efficient code over directed eye movement thank you. I mean really, that ask is a niche within a niche.... I've been turning them off anyway since you can't point them up to where you can actually see anything behind you, the only thing they are currently good for is checking your lip muppet.

I'm also looking for an update. The last 'official' thing I heard was that there was a bug in it, and it would be released 'soon' (That was just after launch) thanks!

I'm pretty new to Livery creation and learning as I go.... I've found a strange issue that I can't figure out. The external skins work just fine, but from the First person view (in VR) the canopy skin is missing. I don't see any references to internal textures in the description file, so it must be a derivative of the "F16_bl50_Main_1" file... but I can't figure out why it would work in one view and not another... thoughts? extra credit if you get the reference null

Used an HF8 for a while to test the waters of haptics. Worked well enough to convince me that I'll never play without haptics again - Especially as one who exclusively uses VR. I Ended up moving to a buttkicker (better IMHO) due to the discomfort from sitting on the pucks embedded in the seat after a long flight.

Thanks! That didn't come up when I searched. Gonna pin that one!

Probably a dumb question... but how do I get Kola installed on my dedicated server? Is this another Sinai scenario that requires a command line push?

The options for zoom in VR are limited to "VR Zoom" and "VR Spyglass zoom". Neither work like the zoom functions in pancake. I recall there being a way to modify the zoom level in a LUA file somewhere, but don't recall the details. (I've just accepted and adjusted to it)

Generally speaking they'll show 'pre-order' for items that aren't in 'local' stock. If you look at the international store, it may be in stock and ready to ship from there.... The US store gets restocked in bulk shipments. In my experience, it's a crapshoot whether or not you'll get your order sooner or later than waiting for the US site to show as 'in stock'. My orders that have shipped directly from Shenzhen have taken anywhere between 1 and 3 weeks to the east coast.

You feel like you're finding conflicting information because you probably are.... sort of. Always check the date on info posts, the whole VR thing is moving so fast that changes to hardware and software are practically constant. But just beware, once you're set in VR it's really hard to go back.
