Good to see he's back! GFY mate!

The museum I linked in my OP was very nice. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the neighborhood. Many different Mirage versions (even a Mirage IV), Jaguars, MiG-21 and 23, A-4, and lots more. The even have an airworthy Bronco! (which they were so kind to let me sit in). A full fidelity versiob of this thing would be awesome for DCS (I know about the unofficial mod). (Boys with toys )

The passion is always getting fueled Last Saturday we arived on our holiday address (close to Dieulefit, France). After unpacking and relaxing with one of the books I still had on my reading list ("Warthog", by William L. Smallwood) we were met by a French Rafale doing some super awesome low flying: Me hoping this being a low fly zone, but unfortunately it seems to have been a solo action (at least until now). The weather turned a bit grey, so we started looking for alternatives to hiking and playing around in one of the many streams here, and guess what; I stumbled upon this aircraft museum close by: Musée Européen de l'Aviation de Chasse Good times! (My GF and daughter are so lucky with me ) Happy holidays (for those it's applicable to )

Even before I checked his signature, I knew the OP is obviously not using VR Current radio menu definitely does need an overhaul (as I'm sure ED knows and is maybe even working on). I don't really care what it will become, as long as it doesn't require a mouse to navigate through. A fully integrated DCS core feature like VAICOM would be the best (and actually the only right thing to do).

I work with pretty high res color point clouds on a daily basis (Plant Design/Industry). I did some testing in VR few years back (using software called Scene) and the results were pretty astonishing. It was a pretty raw scan, no manual adjusting and/or additional 3D modeling. Performance was amazingly smooth on my old GTX1080TI and visuals were, well, photorealistic. Major downside though, is size. Even small/simple pointclouds can be enormous in size. 500mb per 3D scan file is pretty normal in our line of work (for games I can imagine they're even higher res) and to capture for instance an entire cockpit, you'll need a few of those scans. So scanning a whole village (let alone a DCS sized map) isn't realistic at the moment.

With AI you mean? (can't open your mission now) AI can't land and take off again in DCS. I know, definitely one of DCS' major AI shortcomings at the moment

Wait wait, I'm grabbing my popcorn

Does anyone perhaps care to sell their copy? I'm located in The Netherlands and can't find any paperback version available for purchase I managed to find/purchase a copy

It saddens me to read this. I really hope you get better soon. Wish you all the best Miles.

Some further tweaking required, but here's my new (Obutto Revolution based) setup: Two of my (way too many) passions captured in one shot:

I finished my initial Obutto setup There's still a few things I need to tweak (like a more subtle way to quickly swap between my collective and two throttles and I'm still waiting for a few USB extension cables), but it all works and looks slick . The only downside of this center stick mount, is that it's too high to use my center stick extension (I'll probably have to do some rework on my muscle memory now. First my old setup: And here's the Obutto Revolution: Two of my passions captured in one shot:

Instead of spending time to vent your frustrations out in public (it appears you're the only one experiencing these issues), wouldn't you agree your time could have been spend more useful reaching out directly to ED? (Sorry to vent my frustration now, but all these negative "I don't like DCS" and "that's it, I quit" kinda complain-posts aren't useful to anyone)

LCtrl-F11 most certainly does work in VR (Did you make sure you pressed Left control? As RCtrl-F11 doesn't work)

Will do! Might take a while though. Need to find time

"Rotorhead edition" This is music to my ears! Thanks!

Nice project and sounds like a great way to spend time with your son Small question though.. Such a nice setup and all that effort to recreate a Hornet pit; why not trade in the A-10/F-16 grip for a Hornet grip?

I sure will! As others said, very generous. Thank you! (and great to meet another DCS enthusiast )

First of all, let me start by saying how grateful I am that we at all have a 1st person pilot body in the Hook. Credits to the Chinook dev team for not putting this all the way at the end of their feature priority list (please pass this on to the A-10C II team ). Currently though, from pilot perspective, the copilot model is extremely static. Are there any future plans (even if at the bottom of the list, which would be totally fine) to further improve the pilot/copilot models and make them a bit more "alive"? A bit more like let's say Heatblur's Phantom and Tomcat and Razbam's F-15 pilot bodies (looking around quite a bit).

PM send (I live in Maastricht )

Ditto (hopelijk ooit, want lijkt me erg gaaf!)

That's correct: https://www.janes.com/osint-insights/defence-news/first-newbuild-ch-47f-helo-arrives-in-netherlands RNLAF skin should have been the first skin we got in DCS, after the US ones

Would be awesome if us Hook drivers would be able to use the QAG How 'bout: Bring cargo from A to B, while avoiding enemy air defense by using terrain for cover. Or Insert/evacuate troops in/from a hot battlefield

Quite an impressive list of improvements and bug fixes. Very nice to see the new QAG added. Hopefully we also have an option to create a quick cargo transport, or troop insertion missions (I am slightly disappointed however, that the A-10C II pilot body is still not added)
