  1. Can Dynamic Spawn 'Hide Not Flyable' and 'Dy. Spawn Template' restrictions be used to permit players without certain mods to load the .miz and circumvent the 'Mods Requirement'?
  2. Interested in flying with you guys. Looks like you are planning on Afghanistan. Here's a .miz . All you need to do is swap to Red Devil livery. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3339627/
  3. Were you able to resolve the issue? It sounds similar to my post on the SimShaker for Aviators DCS Channel: https://discord.com/channels/679923885595951128/910419903411015680/1261070667353428048 I have tried "Fix DCS Export' and done a DCS Repair. I found this related thread on the SimShaker for Aviators Discord Channel https://discord.com/channels/679923885595951128/921643357040672788/1078944348982497350 regarding SSA Port 29375 per SimShaker website FAQs https://simshaker-for-aviators.github.io/SimShaker-for-Aviators-Releases/faq.html I followed the instructions to install SSA for DCS. Output Mode: USB Forcefeel. Seat Handler 1.0.0.10 "ForceFeelState: OK." Test Vibe Motor Shaker: all motors works ... vibration si felt DCS F/A-18 recognized in DS Debug View. Logs show Export is being sent to DCS Scripts Export.lua . So the HF8 seat checks out but the DCS telemetry may not be received... I do not feel any vibrations in game DCS, and a SSA error message comes up. Ooops ... Something is wrong during calculation Exception: Index was outside the bounds of the array Stack.Trace: at SimShaker.Core.DataProvider.DCSDataProvider.CalculateWindsANDSpeed() at SimShaker.Core.DataProvider.DCSDataProvider.UseReceivedSimDataMethod(String receivedUDPMessage) What did I miss in configuration?

  4. What is the command to display the Sensor Operator view and the Pilot Station?
  5. Caution: Meta/Oculus may have disseminated another auto update today which came up when I started Oculus. My DCS Steam did not launch. Fix was to stop Oculus VR Runtime, roll back my Oculus diagnostic, client and runtime files, then restart Oculus VR Runtime.
  6. SteamVRruns smoother and more stable than on ED on OculusVR, but SteamVR stutters when loading DCS.

  9. Posted by Tribbin: Possible Hotfix posted by Mongoose on DCS Wingman Finder Discord: DCS 2.9.3.51704 (ED) now launches for me with VR enabled. I have turned off Oculus Autoupdate and set Oculus VR Runtime Service to Manual Start. URL to DookieShoes73 Reddit post: \
  10. Meta confirmed can not roll back from autoinstalled v63 to v62. On SteamVR both DCS Standard and MT work fine. OpenXR is enabled. From Oculus: "For now it seems like the only solution is really to play via Steam by using the launch option force_oculus_VR. I'm not sure if DCS allows it, but maybe you could login to your Quest account inside the game via the Steam? If it does, that could be an option to play. Aside from that, I don't see much of an alternative until the fix rolls out from the developers. You can try to look for ways to roll back to V62 if you really have to, though I can't advise it as they are all unofficial methods, but some of them do mostly work." ED Support suggested renaming the DCS folder and the result: DCS v2.9.2.49940 Open Beta (non_steam) VR Enabled (Oculus v63) launched! ...but only once After DCS launches it creates a new DCS folder and I'm back to DCS not launching as DCS ignores the renamed folder. I have to manually delete the generated Saved Games\DCS folder to launch on OculusVR. A new options.lua is generated in ~\Saved Games\DCS\Config and you need to disable VR to relaunch DCS. I override the Saved Games path with DCS Updater Utility and Launch VR On or rename options.lua to options.lua.BAK . This hack occasionally launched DCS VR enabled in v2.9.2.49940 Open Beta and Oculus is v63, OpenXR Same finding when tested on v2.9.3.51740. Meanwhile - SteamVR is the backup. DCS Steam is v2.9.3.51740
  11. Progress?

  13. I was only able to launch DCS if on SteamVR. Unfortunately can not migrate any of the purchased mods from ED E-shop (Only possible from Steam to ED standalone). Meta confirmed can not roll back from autoinstalled v63 to v62. On SteamVR both DCS Standard and MT work fine. OpenXR is enabled.
  14. Any members care to comment on the Chendu J-20 Mighty Dragon aircraft portrayed in the film Born to Fly https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22058628/? or the F-35 vs J-10 and J-20 action?
