Pilot body in VR - most underestimated feature in VR or useless?
Lange_666 replied to Rosebud47's topic in Virtual Reality
The problem with the pilot body is that in quite a lot of cockpits parts of the body (mostly arms) prevent you from seeing certain buttons/switches/rotary's... And since you're not able to lift the arms i fly without. I do have a toggle programmed to set up my view related to the pilots body. -
Marked as solved with no solution posted...

LOOOOOL.... best statement of the week.

Same happens on powerlines. Recently i fly the Huey a lot which also means flying low (going under or just over the powerline wires) and slow which makes it highly visible. The powerline wires appear white at first depending on the approach direction and then turn black as you get closer. However, i can't remember seeing this same effect a few versions ago, only noticed this recently.

Thurstmaster is no longer the gold standard for flight simulation.
Lange_666 replied to Toga10's topic in Thrustmaster
Let's take something you can compare, like the steering wheel of a car. Does it has stiction/friction while moving? All the cars that i have owned did not have stiction on the steering wheel. I've flown a Cesna 172 and a sailplane (not as a pilot but they let me fly for a bit) and nor the 172 yoke nor the stick in the sailplane had any stickyness. Resistance yes, but that's a different thing.... -

Virpil WarBRD base is $220 instead of $320 (you don't need a Mongoose). The difference in feel, smoothness and quality of the gimbal set is night and day. -
I would if i could figure out how to install this? There's a docs folder in there but that doesn't say anything about how or where to install it...

reported New Message History menu doesn't return to previous menu when closed
Lange_666 replied to imacken's topic in General Bugs
I second that, the way it's implemented right now is cumbersome. Just a General binding, one click on the Hotas to bring it up, one click again to make it disapear, without going through any menu. -
When those rudders with toebrakes get finished and the slider axis comes available, this is what you need: KeyAxis(&Throttle, THR_FC, 0, AXMAP2(LIST(0,15,16,39,40,100), VR_Zoom_Magnifier, 0, VR_Zoom, 0, 0)); Axis range 100 (full back) to 40 = normal zoom, 39 to 16 = VR_Zoom, 15 to 0 (full forward) = VR_Zoom_Magnifier

Lange_666 replied to Toga10's topic in Thrustmaster
I was talking about the gimbals, nothing else. And Virpil/VKB gimbals are just way ahead of the TM ones. Also, both the Cougar and the Warthog ministicks are not exactly state of the art either. -

Lange_666 replied to Toga10's topic in Thrustmaster
If you take the sticks gimbals in to consideration, it never was a golden standard, certainly not the Cougar and not the Warthog. There's just crap for that price tag. And all those that are saying, mine is just fine, i'm 200% sure they never even felt the smoothness of DIY or the Virpil and other brands. Those brands just play in another league when it comes down to gimbal smoothness. -
Did you set your trim up directly in the sim or do you use extra software (Target GUI or Script or Joystick Gremlin or so) to get the inputs over to DCS? When using extra software, you can program the triminputs to respond like you want. On some aircraft i have set them to have a continious input as long as i press the trim button, on other i use programmed pulses even if i should press the button to long, it just generates a single (or double) pulse each time when pressed. You could also use a tempo command that will generate a button press in time. This gives you way more control over the trim.

solved Authorization failed - all modules unavailable?

Check your PC clock. If this is not correct, authorization may fail. -
Correct Axis bindings in game for TrackIR
Lange_666 replied to Steel Jaw's topic in Controller & Assignment Bugs
-
You could start by saying how your trim is setup (and programmed) on the your Warthog. Directly from within the game, through Target GUI, Script or another proggy perhaps? And, since you're real time pilot, could you describe how it should behave compared to what you experience in the sim?

This used to work... Larger FPS Indicator Mod.rar

What do you want to know, your question is a bit vage. In the combined setup, you only have 32 dx buttons for the entire stick/throttle combo. You can replace the target.tmh with this version: targetdx128.tmh to get 120dx buttons. targetdx128.tmh

Screenshot Control Binding Greyed OUt
Lange_666 replied to Darkdiz's topic in Controller & Assignment Bugs
So i switched Screenshot for the Pause binding. My bad. Glad that i at least realized that my brain can have a hickup now and then... -
In-Game Scratchpad Mod Available - Works Great In VR!
Lange_666 replied to Fubarbrickdust's topic in Virtual Reality
Voice to text stuff? I don't use any so i can't recommend anything. And even then i don't see it working with the scratch pad in this stage. -

Lange_666 replied to Fubarbrickdust's topic in Virtual Reality
Not to a DX button but depending on the software used for the HOTAS you can get it to generate the hotkey on a button press (or toggle switch). Works fine. Using Target Script here. Edit: Oeps missed the TM116 part but should work on that i guess. -
Screenshot Control Binding Greyed OUt
Lange_666 replied to Darkdiz's topic in Controller & Assignment Bugs
Because the Pause function is to be found in UI-Layer part of the controls (general for all aircraft). Way way back before the introduction of the UI Layer setting these could be set per plane (if my memory serves me well but the latest time it isn't working so good so i could be wrong).
