This thread has just convinced me to give it a try as well. MSAA x 4 user as I find the ghosting / motion blur very distracting in DLAA …if I get good results, I’ll report back.

What does the Quad Views setting in DCS VR do?
Tophatter14 replied to sleighzy's topic in Virtual Reality
Also quest pro with a 4090. Any chance you could PM me as well? I’d appreciate it just to compare. I’m pretty sure I can get more performance out of this bad boy lol -
Very interesting. I downloaded the fixer, ran the fix, disabled and reenable everything, have everything checked in the game, and it seems to be working fine now. The fixer didn’t show any issues except for something generic about trusted signature. Regardless, thanks for the tip. Seems to be working now I guess sometimes you just have to turn it off and turn it on lol

You didn’t come across that way at all. In fact just the opposite- a constructive approach. -
How to win at BFM in the Mighty F-4E Phantom
Tophatter14 replied to Victory205's topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
I bought Fighter Combat in Pensacola as a flight student and read it as a Tomcat RAG student. I re-read it when I was squadron CO. Situations (energy, altitude, SA) will always dictate immediate post merge gameplan decisions, no question. When you’ve bought the merge, you have the rest of your life to figure out how to win or survive. But there are simple hard and fast rules -that were learned the hard way -which should be followed when possible. You fight your best fight, not your adversary’s. It’s what I learned and what I taught over multiple tours as a flight instructor and Adversary Tactics instructor at NAWDC. The F-4 has a well documented history of what did and didn’t work against 19’s and 21’s. So for the OP- keep practicing with egg energy management and always be fangs out. You lead the dance and make your opponent react to your tactics at every instance. Don’t ever get sucked into their playground. Keep at it. And I’m not going to bother about the egos/imaginary skill levels of video game “fighter pilots” nor video game flight models.- 206 replies

Every squadron has a guy who doesn’t get a call sign. Congrats, it’s you.- 206 replies

A recent update allows you to ‘clap your hands’ together, which causes the controllers to temporarily disappear/sleep. Just lightly double tap them together and they should go away as if you turned them off.

Fair point. AI is notoriously difficult. -
Mission 7 - nobody takes off
Tophatter14 replied to Tophatter14's topic in DCS: P-51D Debden Eagles Campaign
I’m wondering about the identification letter paint. Olive drab with D-Day stripes: the individual plane letter (the “V” for “QP-V” is painted white over a white stripe. Makes it hard to read. Didn’t they use black paint for that letter? Edit: -

The sunrise clouds were a pleasant flying experience. -
Mission 7 - nobody takes off
Tophatter14 replied to Tophatter14's topic in DCS: P-51D Debden Eagles Campaign
Did that (got lucky) and just flew the mission; Long, but satisfying. Thanks! -
Waited until engine start call, gave thumbs up and taxied behind 3. Everyone sits at the hold short and lead doesn't take off. Sat until 6:06 am for the 5:58 takeoffs. I've rebooted my PC and tried 3 times.

DCS: P-51D Debden Eagles Campaign Info
Tophatter14 replied to Reflected's topic in DCS: P-51D Debden Eagles Campaign
Excellent choice of music for your YouTube intro video and mission zero. It’s beautiful and emotionally stirring. I’m now following the composer. Thanks. -
Looking forward to seeing everyone’s 2.9 settings….

Same with a 4090. Also take a look at your gun tracer rounds. Mine look…weird in the F-18. Edit: it may be this?

I did switch the secondary target on another go around = and noticed some nice variations in the game triggers. Helo stayed on deck and some Fulcrums launched vs Su-27's. I will try it again as per your tip!

I flew it solo and enjoyed it immensely. Well done. Great chance to flex all the Hornet muscle groups - JDAM, HARM, A/A, tanker and CV recovery. Please continue to make more missions, I’ll happily play them.

I've got bloom off with foveated rendering and it's really not noticeable to me. YMMV.
