Thanks. I tired that but DCS just launches in normal full screen monitor mode, despite the VR option still being ticked under settings.

So I’ve just spent the last 4 hours trying to get the Odyssey to work. I’ve installed a PCIE USB3 cars in my pc as the motherbaord’s USB ports weren’t compatible. I’ve set everything up via WMR and installed steamVR only to be told that steamVR can’t start when I try and launch it. I can use the headset in WMR (can walk around the Windows VR Home) but whatever I do, I can’t launch SteamVR. I’ve tried uninstallling, reinstalling and nothing works. Anyone got any ideas? This is so frustrating. Thanks!

As with previous cards, surely the drivers will only get better/more efficient as the weeks/months progress resulting in greater FPS?

Ok, so I think I’ve finally understood pixel density but I’m struggling to understand how that relates to performance, specially when comparing the Rift vs. the Odyssey. Let’s say that I’m currently able to run around 35-45fps with a PD of 2.0 on my Rift. Due to the Odyssey’s higher default resolution, I’ve calculated that I’m able to get the same resolution on the Odyssey by setting the PD to 1.5. Question is, how would this impact performance and how would this actually look since the Odyssey has physically more pixels but the resolution is ‘technically’ the same? I’m guessing FPS would stay the same but I should see an improvement in clearity/resolution despite the total number of pixels being rendered on both headsets is the same? Cheers

Awesome, thanks trigen, that’s what I wanted to know. How was the setup? I only ask as the Rift failed to register the sensors on a dedicated USB PCIE board I bought; ended up using the Mobo usb slots

But how? I've mapped the trigger to a button on my HOTAS stick but it won't appear in the Rift when I press the button. Does it only appear in the Rift mirror on the monitor?

CaptainX, how is the Odyssey? I’ve head multiple reports of people both not liking it and others claiming it’s ‘better’ than the Rift Also, how are people measuring FPS when using the Rift/VR? Fraps?

Hi All, After a 5 year hiatus, I've returned to the world of DCS and have jumped straight in at the deep end. I'm running a i7 3930k OC'd to 4.2Ghz, 16GB RAM and a recently purchased 1080ti to replace the GTX680 that was top of the range back when the PC was built. Long story short, I bought an Oculus Rift to go along with the 1080ti and I honestly can say the immersion is amazing, I really doubt I'll ever be going back to using a screen for DCS. However, after trappin' the F-18 on an LG 34" Ultrawide which I've been running with a native resolution of 3440x1440, I'm a little dissappointed by the resolution (or lack thereof) of the Rift. I know the Ti is outputting effectively two monitors when using the Rift but for me, the lack of clarity is a small but nagging issue. I've been thinking about trading in my Rift for a Samsung Odyssey (I've heard Waggs uses one) as the resolution is a little better. I'm currently running a PD of 1.6 but the question is, if I switch to the Odyssey, will it be any clearer? Thanks!

Hi guys, Does anyone have any experience is using GoFlight panel switches with The Hog? http://www.goflightinc.com/collections/modules/products/gf-p8-push-button-module

yea, I don't mind this. I haven't done it in a while either. Keep me updated?

Yea, we're playing over the internet but want to keep it private (not on the same LAN, apologizes, should of made it more clear). I'll check to make sure that port forwarding is enabled on our routers. EtherealN, assuming that PF has been enabled, should I just create a new game and give him my external IP address? or do we still how to use one of the servers?

Hey Guys, I was wondering if some of you could give me some advise here please. A friend of mine recently bought DCS A-10C and we want to how a little fly around together, maybe even some shooting fun. In order to do this, do I simply create a new server and give him the IP address (external) to connect to? Or is there over things that I need to do? Please help, I'm lost! :(

Death of a Hog Hey Guys, Wasn't really sure where to put this but i guess it's here. I must admit, I'm not a fan of the Hog, even though I've just bought the TM Warthog, but this is just evil.:mad:

Hey Guys, Just a quick question, does anybody know if there will be any new missions with the new Nevada maps? Also, what sort of ETA are we looking at? I'm kinda eager to fly around a map that isn't full of "Russian's". :thumbup: Cheers

Yea I was just wondering, maybe A-10C pilot's don't see anything so neither will we.

Hey guys, Was just flying some sorties the other day and wondered why I cant see any of the tracer rounds from the Avenger cannon. Does anybody know why this is? Possibly due to no tracer rounds or something that may be fixed in a up and coming patch? Cheers

Hey guys, I saw this on Play.com and was just wondering if it was the box version or the digital download version? http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/19977298/DCS-A10C-Warthog/Product.html?_$ja=tsid:24595 Thoughts? Cheers :)

Hey guys, Recently I've been trying to contact ground and/or air traffic control but am having difficulty. Is there any way to do this so that I have clearance to taxi to both the ramp and runway?? I'm guessing you would have to use the '#' button to bring up the radio dialogue but so far I cant see any voice transmissions for ground, only wingman, flight, etc. Also, this might be related, but when I begin to taxi, ground crew say 'Hey, what are you doing?', any reason for this apart from not requesting clearance to taxi? Thanks in advance!
