C3PO

Cheers guys!

What are people’s thoughts on this unit? Any good?

Hi, Any advice on the best - and safest way - to clean the facemask on the G2 please? In this hot weather it gets quite sweaty.

Cyprus is fantastic….well done guys!

Refuelling … it’s hell

Just grabbed the Viper in the free to use period …. really enjoying it. I had forgotten what a fairly basic platform it is in terms of cockpit layout / instruments design down to the MFDs. Will always have a special place in my heart though so will most likely purchase at the end of the trial period. Lots to learn - I had forgotten so much!

Just ordered a set of insert lenses from VR Optician for my G2. No more faffing around with contact lenses! Due to arrive within ten days (no doubt sooner knowing German efficiency).

Thank you!

Yup - an additional PCI-e card a must for something like the G2. My problems went away after getting one.

BREAKTHROUGH: Got the Comms 1 keybind sorted and successfully communicated with the tanker back and forth for refuelling! Unsuccessfully refuelled, but that’s another matter . Thanks everyone for all your help!

Not quite - even with the correct tanker I'm still not getting the menu / comms with the tanker. I think the issue is the key bindings maybe.

Hi - could anyone recommend some VR titles so that I can try out my G2 in something other than DCS? Don't want any particular AAA title ... something that interestingly shows off the beauty of VR...don't want to pay huge megabucks. Edit: I don't have the controllers!

I think DCS is something that wants to gooble up large amounts of VRAM ... I've seen 23GB of VRAM allocated on my system ... mostly though in the high teens.

Ah ... yes .....

I had this happen on Stix's excellent server in Syria ... yet I saw someone else refuelling so thought it must be something I am doing wrong....no not resolved it yet but am away from my machine and will try tonight.

Thank you will try this tonight - it’s bizarre how I cannot see the menus … i can see them on the ground / carrier but in the air on a particular MP server there was nothing.

Thanks guys - was definitely using the correct radio frequency for the tanker and also a tanker that has a drogue too!

Hi - I cannot call up the radio comms menu for refuelling at the tanker ... I have tried the "C" key, tried the HOTAS binded button and also scoured the comms options in settings. I select the right radio frequency in the COMMS 1 menu but nothing appears? This is in the practice mission.

What’s the best way to record a VR mission so that it looks “normal” on a 2d screen please? The issue I have with playing the trackfile is that your head movements are not replicated in the replay - or am I doing something wrong? Also would be great to have some kind of timeline functionality to the trackfile playback - ctrl z etc a bit fiddly. Also is there a way to set the mirror on my 2d screen to look normal? Currently i have rectangle selected in VR option and left eye selected. But it records the whole of desktop onto which the mirror is running … and the rectangle is 9:16 rather than the other way round.

This is so weird. When I land on the carrier, taxi to stop position, turn the engines off, open the canopy - I swear I can feel a cool breeze over the face. In my small room. Crazy. My fiancée is also getting seriously pi55ed off at the amount of time I am spending in DCS now. What will VR be like in 20 years!!??

24 hours on, just a very, very slightly sore top of the arm. Otherwise fine.

Had my second COVID jab today…AZ. First felt a bit rough but the second, absolutely fine. Pre-empted it with a couple of maddog AMRAAMs (two paratecomol an hour after the jab) and no issues.

I run the clouds in latest patch at Ultra - and the jitter fix is great. The performance for me is fine, the issue is the quality and they are nowhere near where they are in 2D (where they are amazing at Ultra setting).

Yup - great that the jitter is fixed. Now to get the visual quality up to / as close as 2D. I’m on ultra cloud settings and they are blurry.
