I understand that the main limitations with this is access to the required data which is still regarded as classified.

I like flying different aircraft of all eras. It will take me a long time to get bored. I wonder if real world pilots get bored of flying an F-16. Or a spitfire. DCS has not reached it's potential yet with regards cold war and WW2. There is a lot of interesting stuff coming along.

@BIGNEWY I think the expansion of FC is a positive move. Are there any plans for further expansion or to develop other FC type modules?

Yes. It's a bit like a Ferrari with a trailer, a roof pod and bikes in the back.

That's not what I said. I think that the FC aircraft are important. Its the first module I bought. But using xp to unlock assets does not fit DCS in my opinion. Era specific FC modules would be good. e.g. FC cold war, FC modern and FC WW2.

I find that DCS in general is oversaturated so I use open XR toolkit in VR to reduce the saturation slightly. This might be the reason others use reshade!? An integrated tool in DCS would be useful for this.

This is not what DCS is about. It's a sim and this would make it an arcade game.

Has anyone done an F-16 red Ferrari DCS skin yet?

The F-16 is 50 years old and still looks like a modern/futuristic design. It's the ultimate iconic jet. There are lots of other I like but this is the Ferrari. Paint it red, put mirrored glass on the cockpit and take a look.

Half the usual time! Mosquito at the ready.

It's a great module. It's the jet version of a K4. Except the K4 wings don't fall off if you handle it wrong.

You only need one! Will the existing FF F-5E, F-86 and Mig-15 get a cockpit refresh?

La-7 vs P-51 and F4U then.

Does this work for Quest Pro?

I agree that the hardware could be better, but mainly inclusion of a DP and eye tracking in an affordable headset.There is a lot could be done to improve the software as well: reprojection, sharpening and integrated upscaling. Also meta needs to include dynamic foveated rendering to support eye tracking.

Good point. This is not officially supported by VD but it worked very well for me. You still need a router near your pc though. It's a good option if you have a lot of local WiFi interference. But you need to factor in an additional £20 for a powered adaptor.

An interesting perspective from "oculus" https://mixed-news.com/en/horizon-os-palmer-luckey-john-carmack/ "Former Oculus CTO John Carmack, on the other hand, is critical of the initiative. He expects that the OEM headsets will be more expensive than Meta Quest and therefore less attractive to the mainstream audience, and that Meta will have to spend valuable developer resources on the new project that would be better invested in improving the system software. In his opinion, it is the software, not the hardware, that is holding VR back."

Yes. All wish lists unfortunately. A focus on late ww2/early cold war makes sense though as many of these modules would work across multiple maps. It would just need careful thought about which ones would make sense, lots of people shouting loudly, and then waiting patiently for about 10 years. Easy.

I now have visions of an ET like finger glowing over the switches! Click the radio dial and "phone home". But yes, some way of determining the action you are using through different colours, such as yellow for switch, red for rotate etc. Haptic feedback would be good long term.

Too many to choose from. I like the Mig-3 but that's never going to happen. Maybe some late ww2 soviet aircraft that would work in Korea and possibly an early cold war Germany!?

Don't forget WW2. How about an IL-2 and Pe-2?

I would like to see a pilot body which supports hand/arm tracking so that you can move "your" arms in real time as if you are the real pilot.

This will hopefully get better when/if we get an affordable VR headset with eye tracking.

They are a bit more sensitive. A 25% curve worked ok for me. Thrustmaster T-flight.

I think this can work but is not officially supported by VD. They require an Ethernet connection to a router.
