Swiss-Sim

This is the first time without VR... I just started the Head Tracking Software and performed air refuelling. It looks horrible and there is no sound, i dont know why... But just for demonstrating purpose, you can look my video which starts by minute 3 https://youtu.be/Sw8B9AytUwA?t=211 now you may see, how well the webcam tracking works, even when its dark (playing at night)... PS: these disturbances are not because of the head tracker, but my son came to look what i am doing, and the webcam caught his head too, this was the issue. Else there are no issues...

Well, i started with Quest 2, and i don't even think to buy other VR Headset. Maybe one day, when VR works very well. I was able to get 70 FPS on all maps (MT Version with VR) but then i was not able to enjoy the maps, because they were empty (Visib Range > Low), so there was no point buying new maps. And the other issue was, like i did optimize the settings for the Caucasus map. When i wanted to use as example the Syria Map, i had to change the settings again, you got my point. Its not like you do it one time, it depends on the map or mission. I am excited about the Quest 3 to look on benchmarks, but i am not hoping too much. It is like the new smartphones today, they just add 3,4 or 5 cameras and that's it in general.

Hello Friends, i just wanted to share with you my thoughts about the main topic about VR and Head Tracking and wanted to see, what do you think about this topic too. I brought the fastest PC you can get, like RTX 4090, i9-13900K, DDR5-6000 MHz, M.2 7000 GB/S etc... But still VR seems not satisfied with it. I use the Quest 2 with LINK and just the optimization stuff took me more than 3–4 months and that was painful enough. Anyway, still after i got the best settings to run DCS very good, i noticed that the game looks very poor, the whole immersion was destroyed. My brother don't have VR, so i was looking for him for some tutorials how he could use Head Tracking in DCS. I found Opentrack and i just started my 30 FPS cheap webcam and tried it. I started DCS and i was like "whaaaat" "serious"... Then i turned all Settings in DCS to max/ultra and started the game again. Then i saw how incredible DCS graphics is and i felt in love with it. The Head Tracking feels 90% like VR and works perfectly and smooth. I just ordered a wide curved monitor 34" and i said to my Quest 2 "... bye bye, Mark Zucki..." My experience last 10 years: For some years i was using TrackIR, and i hated it and i hate it still today. I just hate the clip you have to wear, and i was not satisfied at all. These constantly interruptions drove me crazy. I just can't recommend TrackIR! Then i switched to Tobii 5 and this was good, you don't have to wear any clip or what ever. But in DCS it was going somehow "heavy" for what reason ever. I also noticed, there was a delay like 1 sec. when looking left/right. I played Star Citizen with it, DCS etc... Then i got my Meta Quest 2 and the first time i was like "i am in, i am sitting in a F-18..." then after 10 minutes i got motion sickness LOL... Then i realized, that even the fastest PC on the Market you can get, is not enough. I spend 3-4 months looking tutorials on YT, trying everything possible, and at least i was able to play but of the cost of the beautiful DCS graphics. This was not a good choice at all. Finally, i installed Opentrack with AITrack and a webcam. DCS Settings are maxed out, and the graphics is simply brilliant. Thank you, ED, for this. With my wide curved 34" screen it's hundred times better than VR. I will come back to VR, when i will be able to play DCS the same way and settings as in 2D. For now, VR seems not being made for "heavy" graphics games. TrackIR/Tobii 5 VS Free Head Tracking Software Because i used both, i am able to compare them. I was very surprised how good the free Head Tracking software works. You have not to believe me, but i can say this: TrackIR is the worst product i ever had, the tracking works not very well, and it was painful to look down or left/right because sometimes the clip was out of range. Tobii 5 was much better than TrackIR, but there was somehow a 1ms delay. The other thing, you have to stick the camera with adhesive strips and when you use the tobii 5 for some hours, it will go hot and the tobii just fall down. In DCS i was not satisfied. Imagine that, 250 bucks for such product. Opentrack + AITrack in comparison with TrackIR and Tobii 5 is way better and its free. You just use your webcam or even your smartphone. That's it! It does not matter how i look left/right and up/down, the software works perfect, no issues at all. And i don't have to fix something on my head, or monitor with tape. Just start the Head Tracking and play... Who ever buy TrackIR or Tobii 5 without trying the free webcam software, he is just fooling himself. If you may ask, how TrackIR and Tobii 5 feels, i can tell you this: The Opentrack + AITrack feels exactly the same like TrackIR and Tobii 5, but the free one works way more stable, and it cost you nothing. If you don't believe me, try it. there is no point to buy those expensive craps. By the way, I don't advertise here for Opentrack, i just want to help you save your money and have a better experience in DCS (Star Citizen, MFS 2020...). Conclusion: For those, who repeat the same phrase again and again "i can't play without VR any more..." i was saying the same phrase everywhere, but i was wrong. If you are mad about VR, just dust off your old webcam, install Opentrack and AITrack, set your DCS graphics to max and just enjoy the Game, you will never regret. DCS World has incredible graphics! And please don't buy those expensive TrackIR or Tobii 5 before you try the free Head Tracking software. I came back to 2D through coincidence, and i am just happy about this step "backward".

When i fly in Formation, then i can't hear those sound effects from the other aircraft flying with me in the formation. I was looking some older F-16 Videos and then i realized, i never heard such "noise" when flying in formation. I will post here the YouTube video, Start by 0:28 Min (The Video is 5 Min long) and hear how it sounds from the cockpit, while flying behind another aircraft in formation. This would be very nice, what do you think?

Hier ein Bild davon. Habe auch die Keybinds so gemacht, wie in der Anleitung usw. Sonst höre ich mich selber nicht, nur wenn ich in DCS bin. In voice chat, wenn ich in den Settings bin, zeigt dort mein Mikrofon nichts an, nur mich selber kann mich hören. Seltsam das ganze.

Hallo, ich habe eigentlich keine Probleme mit meinem Kopfhörer, wie in Discord und allgemein keine Probleme gehabt. Habe alles Mögliche geprüft, alles scheint richtig konfiguriert zu sein. Sobald ich Multiplayer spiele und den Voice Chat starte, kann ich zwar hören, aber andere können mich nicht hören und vor allem, wenn ich etwas sage, höre ich mich selber. Habe auch die DCS Anleitung angeschaut, alles so gemacht wie es dort angezeigt wird (Quick DCS Voice Chat guide - Voice Chat - ED Forums. Ich nutze USB Headset von fifenine, sonst funktioniert alles richtig, ausser in DCS. Woran liegt es? Kann es sein, wegen dem USB-Anschluss? Irgendwie scheint, dass DCS für USB Headset noch nicht optimiert wurde, oder hat das damit nichts zu tun?
