Ok, it seems I must apologize. Changing the IPD and observing the image on the monitor does what I expected (moves the 2 images appart). But in Oculus this has the effect you are saying. Makes the cockpit be perceived bigger/smaller and world the other way around. I stand corrected... but I have no complete explanation for this. True that making the eyes go further appart or closer to each other would make things closer seem wider/narrower in a sense (if you look at a box in front of you and then pull your eyes appart and distance them one from the other while still focusing on the box.... yeah... the box might seem to enlarge itself compared with the world) but I didn't expected it to be that dramatic. Another bad point was that I had set my IPD to 62...but... I can't explain why... I found it afterwards to be actually 6.2 (yes with a dot between the numbers...) :D . So the effect was really dramatic. Now I settled to 62 as the difference from 62 to 72 is not really big and I just hope the rest of the viewing is OK and I don't see "doubled". So thank you everyone to point me to the correct direction (insisting on it :D ). I stand corrected.

This is so strange. I will try to increase it over 62. Thanks.

Can you explain what IPD does in your opinion? The cockpit sizes are OK. Is not the size!!! Is how they are projected and how they are projected differently that the outside world (not plane wings etc) So if you went to a museum and sat in a cockpit and it seems the "size" of it is OK in DCS is IRRELEVANT! The cockpits are fine!

I have prescription glasses since I was 8 and now I am 44. I know what it is and now is 62. It's written on my prescription. I set that in Oculus software and enforced it also in DCS since first second. It has nothing to do with the scale. If I get glasses with wrong ipd I don't see things smaller, I see things double. Ipd distance just makes the two images overlap so they recreate correctly the 3d perception of objects. The problem in game is due to having different focal lenghts for projecting the two parts of the dcs image. As I said , the cockpit and plane are seen through a bigger focal lenght than the rest of the world. It is like a dolly zoom effect sort of... Another thing is that this effect is not seen in other vr flight sims

+1 Any news/Fixes? Just popped in VR (Yay!) and this was the first thing that striked me. Cockpit seems to be through a 50mm lens and the outside world through a 35mm one. Also the distortion from Lock On era when LOMAC was the only game to distort the cockpit like a wide angle lens when looking up (especially) is back. Lomac and DCS are the only games (flightsims) I played and that have this ugly distortion. Olegs Il-2 didn't had it and neither the rest of the games that followed with same name. What gives?

Gear direction lever needs commands too

you mean you need to start all over with the 3D model?

You should save your post for later :D Why would Stadia become the ONLY platform? True that others still are slow to react to it but they have some time.

Sure... me too... but my PC is full of donated or very old hardware and I'm getting old and tired. And it's about numbers... Numbers of people that buy killer PCs to play DCS are for sure not on the rise.

Probably will be full World Map with detailed areas to buy, maybe dynamic campaign, maybe SRS included, maybe compatible with Stadia. Maybe sooner than most expect? :)

Oh... so people actually discussed something about this :) . I think everyone in the industry acknowledges now that this (streaming) is the future. It will become like a DSLR/Mirrorless camera system versus Phone (where the DSLR/Mirrorless is PC and Phone camera is the new kid on the block Gaming Stream) Yes, PC and DSLR/Mirrorless will always be better but the margin is getting smaller and smaller and the costs remain high. Imagine this: Most people can't afford a system to play DCS World at steady 60fps 1080p. Why? Because all statistics show that most sold graphic cards in last years are the low-mid range. That means not GTX1070, not even GTX1060 or comparable but GTX1050 and bellow. That is rubbish for DCS. 5G is coming and low latency high bandwidth will be the norm. Google Stadia 1080p will be free.

Make an exception... maybe this way you will make another one and give the option to remove the minigun from the minigun variant :)

Welcome OctopusG! I wish you great success with the I-16 "Rata"! Such "beautifully hated plane" in old IL-2 Game :D :D Now I know An-2 has a real chance for DCS :D

As a first step... it's big. Once latency comes down bellow the annoyance threshold it will catch like wildfire. IMHO Eagle Dynamics should already connect with Google. The sooner it integrates the better. I know there are a lot of people playing Offline yadadada... most of them are on vers 1.5 anyway... :) Full presentation start at 17:17.

Wow, quite a story. Maybe this will be reborn someday...

Hey... any chance for a small upgrade so Harrier can take off from this ship? And after looking at your sig.... maybe even some new textures... :D Thanks!

check the amount of memory used by DCS (with something like rivatuner) After I removed my extra skins (which DCS apparently loads into memory without any need) the DCS crashes less often on load and I can use some of these mods.

Well... maybe I am a little less upset about it today. What was annoying for me was not that I was struggling to connect and then came the yawn, no.... I was already upset cause I was struggling to return to base... actually trying to reach Batumi cause it was closer than Kobuleti and the engine just died cause of fuel starvation and I was semi gliding towards the water and lamenting that I have dumped all the fuel for the training and it would had been excellent if the instructor would just call it off when I was dangerously low on fuel since the bingo was passed from the beginning. Then came the yawn... arrrghhh... :D . I have opened the mission in ME and saw that there is a second yawn and a snoring trigger... pfff :) Maybe if you could add a trigger when the fuel is 700 to just call off the AAR and RTB.

Maybe if you would focus on avoiding inserting sarcastic yawns in the missions they would be ready/fixed faster? Just a small feed back. For sure I don't repeat missions where the creator can't help himself make fun cause you as the player can't finish it. And clearly would not buy campaigns made by him. Maybe I am the only one but after flying more than one hour and failing the last thing I want to hear is you yawning cause I am not that good to get your appreciation.

Yeah, even I as an often complainer about FM I recommend this heli when on sale. Finger crossed the FM will advance even more. Definitely it progressed since it was released. For me the Minigun variant is the most pleasant to fly... if only I could just drop the gunner altogether :) .

:joystick: We must live on different Universes. I wish to give away to some friend my "used" FC3 since I bought the planes again individually out of boredom. I don't want to buy him another new one for 2 reasons... 1. I already have one not used... sorry... very used but still working (I think...). 2. I don't have the money to throw on his rather low interest on FC3 planes. Should ED keep the hopes he buys FC3 at some point or hope for him buying another MAC plane when it comes out after he tasted them with a gift FC3? @zhukov032186 Funny... In my Universe there are a multitude of sites that sell old games and the companies that made the games sometimes lose money but gain users that end up spending money on other products they make... DLCs etc. My universe must be "Stupid".

how much time is that? Say a fully loaded A-10C.
