I am not fan of P-51 but I have to say that just looks great. Izgleda genijalno ;)

After having the OR for some 2 weeks now, and the novelty wore off, I can definitely say that this 1st gen of VR headsets are not good enough to fly DCS as I would with monitor (especially with large 4K TV). The clarity is just not there, the resolution is just too low. The FoV needs to increase to or close to 180° and I think there really needs to be 4K resolution on the screen, per eye. Then again the PC has to be able to run it on at least 40-50fps to be smooth enough. Big ask, and I don't see this happening in the next few years. Having said this, the VR is good for where you don't need to read text in cockpit, depend on visual spotting of targets from larger distance, I mean for me I even start losing tally on aircraft in merge after some 2.5km, smaller aircraft even 2km... you really need to keep constant track of the aircraft, if not, you will lose him, and then pretty much impossible to spot him again unless he's close to you (but at close distance in dogfight aircraft position changes too quick making it even harder). The feeling of presence is the only really good thing in my opinion... well clearly as this is what VR is supposed to add. Well also its easy to setup, works great with DCS also. I also don't feel dizzy when I fly. But for me to fly as easy as I can on large 4K TV I think hopefully 3rd gen of VR headset might be good enough to achieve this... but who knows when, and if VR will catch on that quick to the masses in order to develop quickly.

Nothing to worry if you do :smilewink:

er.... sorry but no :D Nothing against you but I don't plan to ever use it for anything, if I could I would never run it :)

Good choice and I also completely agree with painting gloss, I would not do it as BrassEm already explains, it shows every mark, imperfection and it also shows very clearly any little dust that you will get on it withing seconds :) Satin Black + dark grey is perfect I think... now waiting for the photos when painted :)

They are still there, just harder to see/notice them.

hm... I'll have to try the MiG-21 one :)

I would coat that in grey if you can, it'll give more contrast to the setup, black will just make it "dissapear" :D

USB mode is for Gametrix seat, which plugs into USB port, while Sound mode is for ButtKicker (and similar) device which plug into sound card speaker output.

I've been prompted today to update Rift's Firmware, and it updated it to version 708 / 34a904e8da I have no idea what the changes are

That would maybe be the closest I would get to becoming famous :D

Strap yourself into the chair like pilots do and you won't be able to do this.

That's coming along pretty decent. Too bad the 3D printing is not more fine.

MiG-29 up close and personal, when viewed in 3D with VR, it's so awesome. I even stuck my head under landing gear compartment, main and front landing gear, and it feels like I am right in it :) Detail is great. I think some bump mapping could make it look even better... but you have to see it in VR.

I tried full vertical stall in F-15 and after I went into a spin ans spin more I felt no discomfort. I am sure it is because yeven if you are spinning in all directions because you have steady reference point... the cockpit you dont feel disconnected with what you see in VR. But with nothing around you fixed when you move the view with the mouse near terrain and buildings/objects around you its different. At least for me it is.

I have just also experienced bit of queezy feeling in DCS. It was while I was in external view, switched to free camera and started walking around the Nellis airbase. It didn't take long, only few seconds of going forward and I felt bad in my head. Flying aircraft and rolling fast and spinning didn't give me any of such feeling at all, even wlen flying low, but this "walking" on the ground did and it was very quick. Maybe its the cockpit fixed reference what makes me not feel sick when flying inside airframe in DCS... when I have nothing around me and I move close to objects on ground... not good. I am thinking playing something like FPS with VR would be a guaranteed no-no (for me at least). I still haven't tried a chopper, maybe that one will make me sick also.

I don't really like this video. While it does show massive life loss during WWII, it does contain some propaganda (I will not go into details which). You might think and say you need to be grateful for this and that but you can never truly be that unless you experienced this yourself. Its just the way it is, you will get sad feeling, but when video is finished, your life and opinions you held before you watched it, will continue. Proof if this is that no mater how many history books we have (and let me remind you, they change with change of regime, and always there are things which are left out on purpose, which should make you think) the history keeps repeating itself over and over. And reason for this is, generations that haven't been through wars like this (any major war) do not know (simply cannot know) what it really means, you can say what you like, its the way it is. All it takes to get into yet another conflict is for someone to use politics, mix some patriotism, few fabrications and assumptions and scare people from this and that boogieman, and eventually there you have it... yet another war.

Yes, in that folder. Just keep the Config/Input and Missions folder. Delete the rest. Run the repair of DCS (don't use any mods) then start it, if it runs, then if you use using some mods, apply one at the time, start DCS and see if it still runs. If not, you have found the culprit.

Run a repair, delete DCS from saved games folder (you might want to save Input and Missions folder so you have to redo inoput settings and lose your missions - if you have any). It should work after that.

Oh man, that made me laugh so hard :megalol:

But using the new TrackIR default.lua should not make it stop working, I wonder if you have some mods that conflict... but if you're happy with old file that should do it I guess (for now at least).

Its already reported. Bug #35030

I've made a feature request to ED for this. I hope they do it as would also like to stay in 2D on menu and mission editor and have VR kick in only when mission is loading/starting.

You funny guys :smilewink:

That doesn't look like having anything to do with default view change. If TrackIR doesn't track straight away at mission start with you just looking forward must be problem with TrackIR. Does it track/move in TrackIR software?
