For people that bought them, how are they holding up? I currently see them for 180$ with tax on AliExpress.
They are as good as the day I got them.

Of course. However, Tobii has lots of other benefits, not least being able to auto login to Windows with Hello when you get near your PC.
Well, I wouldn't say "Lots." Hello is nice, but it can be done with just about any five-dollar webcam. Like I said to each his own but in the end for me it was
Too expensive
Too fidgety
Eye tracking was no more than a gimmick to sell a head tracker for more $$, IMO.
It was nice hardware, and for a lower price, I might have kept it around.
Enjoy.

Yep, I don't ever use eye-tracking. Waste of time in flight sims, etc.
The extra cost of Tobii, IMO, is well worth it to not have a hunk of plastic stuck to your head or having to wear a baseball cap all the time!
I wear a cap all the time anyway, so it is no different than usual for me and, thus, not worth the extra cost. The cap weighs about 4 ounces, and you can't even tell it's on. Now, the pro clip is another story, and I always hated that.
Anyways, to each his own; happy flying!

No problem with Tobii on DCS, although it would be nice to see it integrated rather than having to use GameHub.
Unlike post above, I have no issues with lag, reset button or disable button.
I could never click a button in the cockpit because it jittered around too much when you leaned into it for a close-up view. It does track a little slower than Track IR, but not bad at all, IMO. I also had to constantly "fiddle" with it, which got on my nerves.
I had it for three weeks,then sent it packing, and returned to my TIR5 with a reflector clip on a baseball cap. I might have kept it, if it wasn't twice the cost of a TIR5, to play with it a little more as the hardware itself seemed well-made.
I also think, and this is just my opinion, that "eye tracking " is just a gimmick to sell head trackers. I couldn't find a real use for it anywhere in any eye-tracking app or game. Not without a huge cost for much better eye-tracking hardware. Tobii doesn't have the ability.

That's partially correct. It applies to general feedback, such as spring, damper, and inertia. But not to event triggered feedback such as afterburner or weapon release. To check those settings, you need to go back into DCS.
I've hadn't experienced any CTD's of Moza cockpit.
Cheers
Patrick
I wonder what is causing my CTD, it happens many times during a session.

so far it’s been extremely solid. Hasn’t crashed yet whilst I’ve been flying.It seems to crash if you flip out and back to DCS, after4 or 5 times it just shuts down

On 11/6/2024 at 12:20 PM, Patgun said:
By the way, you just need to press ESC in DCS, Alt-Tab over to Moza Cockpit, adjust the setting of your choice, Alt-Tab back to DCS
You don't even need to go back to DCS it is instant and you can feel it in the stick without even being in DCS. It doesn't control DCS it controls the Ab9
Is anyone having Moza cockpit crashing to desktop? I've had a few.

Does it trim correctly in helicopters? That would be enough to get me interested.
Yes it does now as of 11/16/24. you can either just use the key press or hold the button down and move the stick.

I don't know if it's the same thing, but once I connect to the crate. I can fly 30 miles and crate is still on the ground and I have 30 miles of cable out.
Obviously you need a shorter cable

It does What I like best , but I have been having ambivalent feelings about it since I heard it would come. I think it need a ai crew that I have not seen around in order to do real chinook work. It is probably a very stable platform for normal work. And I got mi8 for that. I hope I will enjoy it longer than it takes me to learn it. I really hope I will enjoy it as long as I enjoyed the MI 8
Yeah, it seems like EA EA

at first i wasnt trying to get yet another dcs aircraft.
but after doing a huey cargo mission to build patriot SAM batteries on pre-contact server, it was fun
i ended up pre ordering because:
1) helo with digital nav.. at least from all the crazy MFD's, more helos that can program in waypoints, i am for it
2) build farps
3) I WANA BE A RAMP DOORGUNNER.. my DIY doorgun joystick controller needs CH47 and M3M .50cal.. CANT WAIT!
I just want to do that "spin around move with my tail way up in the air" like we see in the videos.

If you own/use a

Have you, because that would be a good argument.

I’ve dcs excluded from the AV since a long time ago, as these false positives problem is not new …. And in all that time I’ve not had a single issue with my PC that could be caused by a virus.So you believe all viruses mess with your PC, and some don't just quietly steal your info? That's cool, but it's hardly convincing for your argument.
Oh well. Good luck and happy flying.

And why the AV maker can't improve its PUP detection so that it does not incorrectly flags a file as if it were a virus? ... I find it funny how most users tend to blame ED for the poor antivirus abilities
Yeah, it's hilarious! I've used four separate AV programs, and they all hit on DCS DLLs. So please explain how you know it's all bad "AV abilities" and nothing to do with ED.

Not an ED issue. If you send those files off to your AV provider there is pretty much a 100% chance that they'll whitelist them and the problem goes away. There are a handful of AV's that have consistent problems with DCS. If DCS had an actual virus problem it wouldn't always be the same ones picking it up and the rest not.
And when those ones stop being flagged it will be because the AV whitelisted them, not because ED "fixed" (i.e. changed) them.
I'm not sure. I have used four different AV programs, and they all flag some DCS DLLs and no other DLLs, so either they are indeed viruses or DCS is doing something that is causing their and only their DLLs to be flagged. It may not be a virus, so once looked at, they would, of course, be whitelisted, but that doesn't negate the original reason for it getting flagged.
I've marked them as trusted, but I'm not really sure they are.

okay. thanks.
I haven't seen this type of issue before with dcs. any reason why antivirus is taking this particular file in recent update? my av is norton latest.
I scanned my DCS folder and it had 13 DCS DLL listed as viruses or PUP.
Come on ED fix your DLL's
18 hours ago, Robsongois said:I have Norton too, and the same thing happened to me, but this is not normal. In fact, it has never happened.
This only happens with the F-15E, which has only caused problems for users.
It will and does happen for other aircraft. I just scanned my DCS folder, and 13 DLL files were flagged as Viruses or PUPs. It recently happened to a Mig29 plane, and you couldn't even remove the DLL. I had to reformat my drive and reinstall DCS.

My AV8B was quarantined yesterday and put back into service using the same method.
Following a recent drive change, my DCS repair app has disappeared from the Start menu.
Where is it installed and if it's not there, how can I obtain it? Thanks.
..
Today, I tried to update FC3, and it looked like it was finally installing, but then it stopped with a message from DCS that it couldn't move a file to the backup folder due to a Virus or PUP
The file is Mods\aircraft\MiG-29\bin\MIG29CWS.DLL due to a virus or PUP, and I can not get rid of it. McAfee says it's a trojan, but Malwarebytes says it is fine. However, I can not remove it from my system. Hopefully, it's just a corrupt file but I thought I'd mention it
Is anyone else having an issue?
Off to find my Linux Boot CD.

Repair is just running parameter of dcs_updater.exe
What is in Start Menu is a shorcut to that.
I wasn't sure what he was referring to, so I assumed it was the "DCS Updater GUI Utility."

Why would they? And why do you want to block others from getting such iconic aircraft?
It beats me. I must have been confused about something, like why sell a Mod and then offer refunds for it because it's dead in the water, for now at least? Maybe they can sell it, but its current status needs more explanation right on the store page.

Then why not just keep it?

The lines to disable the radar are standard environment.system time request lines (getSystemTimeAsFileTime), nothing a AV would flag.
if the file was deleted by the AV previously, it wouldn't flag after, if the file was "Patched" by the AV it wouldnt flag, nor load the library when DCS Launches.
Attach your DCS.Log,
But I can almost garauntee your AV Suite nuked the file or tried to patch it, in which case it fails the DRM check and isnt loaded by DCS which causes modules not to load.I wasn't saying the radar was flagged; I'm saying it's entirely possible. There may be some mischief at play. It's a long shot, but with this rash of AV hits, who knows? Time will tell.
For the AV, I restored the file, but there were already files out there, and I had to overwrite them, so maybe something got screwed up there. No biggie will run a repair or re-download it.
Thanks for the tips
27 minutes ago, rob10 said:Primarily because he publicly admitted he had put that in (and that it was aimed at Razbam, not ED) and had told Razbam at the time when he inserted it. Why would he admit that if he had other stuff in there?
Secondarily, certain AV's (McAfee being one of the leading offenders, ESET and Kapersky being right up there with it) have regularly had hissy fits with DCS files and quarantined them as long as I've been around here (> 10 year). So it's more unusual that you haven't had a problem like this before with McAfee than the fact that it's quarantining a file around the same time as a radar issue in the F-15.
But I have had issues and posted. I've had lots of hits on many mods, but this is different IMO.
Only 10 years /.noob
just kidding
again Thanks

The radar disabling code was fixed in the last patch and unrelated,
if your DCS Folder isnt excempt from RealTimeScan/Protection, your AV will continue to put DLLs in quarantine or delete them.But how do you know they are unrelated? If he planted bombs to screw up the radar, he could have added many more to go off. Who knows when?
As for the AV hits on the F15, they have not been flagged or quarantined since, but it's still not working—it's time for a repair. Oh, I also use MacAfees, and I can't find how to exclude files or folders. Anyone?
