Imacken, I’ve checked and I’ve got Hide Overlay set Ok, I’ve changed the position to both to HMD, Only thing I notice is the steam VR star room is showing in a dialogue box and I can see the fpsVR in that screen and can toggle but doesn’t seem to overlay in DCS... Arrrgghhhh

A quick question … are you launching the Steam version of the game ? Jim

No Joy Cant seem to get it to work in DCS it does work and toggle in SteamVR… I have it bound to : Position, If Controller is On - Follow the Bottom Position Position, If Controller is OFF - Attach to HMD Other Overlays - Off Anywhere else I need to check/set.. Thanks Jim

I hit the button on Steam for FPSVR but I cant get the overlay to show ingame … Its shows in steam VR and I can toggle on/off.. Can you confirm you have it working in DCS latest build .. Thanks Jim

Thanks guys, So toutenglisse reading that post Afterburner overlay did work through OTT until the recent patch, and imacken, looked at that app might hit the button on it as it’s cheap..... Thanks

Playing with stat and trying to get Rivatuner to display various stats inside VR... I think I've set it up correctly but pressing my shortcut toggle key does nothing to bring up stats. Any guides or helpers appreciated

Hello... We currently run our single server DCS instance on a Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF cost £120, second hand for base unit and spent around £120 for 500GB SSD, swapping CPU from i5 to i7 and extra 16gb mem upgrade although 16gb that came with it is plenty. Specs I7-4790 CPU @ 3.60Ghz and 32GB (DCS Server Typically using 4-5GB), Win 10 Pro, 500SSD & DVDRW, connected via Virgin Media 380dn/35up. Wireless Keyboard & Mouse. NO DEDICATED GRAPHICS, USING PROC Intergrated GFX... Used as workshop PC in garage for misc stuff whilst hosting DCS... Nice little machine only downside I would say as its a small form factor machine it has unique parts ie PSU etc, but as these machines are usually found in businesses there are loads knocking around cheap on sales and wants etc. Its never gonna be a gaming machine although some people have slid in a 1050 low profile GPU but since the non GUI DCS server release its not an issue here. Dangermouse

Recently got a brand new Simshaker Jetpad FSE from Andres shop.... used for a couple times but can’t really get on with it so offering up for sale.... paid over £250 including import taxes etc... looking for sensible offers ... PM me for offers and details... Dangermouse

Im trying to download the Server auto restart utility but its coming up - file link broken … any help ..

Update... Ok hitting the button on Jetseat, thanks for info. One question do I need to purchase the Simshaker Wings with this ?.. Jim

Evening all, Am looking for input / recommendations to improve the immersive experience in DCS. Currently using VR but looking at a rumble seat / shaker... I’ve come across a couple of devices, the Simshaker 2 the Realtus Forcefeel and the Jetseat. For the most part there seems to be limited knowledge reviews or from what I’m reading these devices are couple years old allready and various complaints with built quality, non deliveries etc. Also is there any Kickstarter projects in the pipeline to keep an eye on .... Thanks chaps....

Morning, Back again... quick question any changes I make are they on the fly ie live or do I have to restart the DCS server each time? And do you just change what you need in the SlmodDefault.cfg file? Thanks... Jim

...sorted looked in DCS logs and I can see the SLMOD calls … Thanks now to get to grips with some switches... Jim

Afternoon Grimes, Thanks for that but I’m struggling with the install it doesn’t seem to work... This is my issue:- this is not happening when u run the dedicated server build .... When you first run DCS after installing slmod a new folder named "slmod" in saved games\DCS will be create. I’m sure I pulled the correct scripts file so will try again... Jim

Morning Grimes, Thanks for the pointers, Ive looked an no there are NO SLMOD cmds in the Log. I can see my LuaNET SRS cmds… Like Elliot said my build is vanilla dedicated server and loading I think the latest SLMOD 7.0.060 version. I installed it into the \USERNAME\Saved games\DCS\Scripts folder which puts a subfolder in the scripts dir called net.... as per the instructions. are these correct ? Thanks for your assistance.. Jim

SLMOD and Fresh Dedicated Server Install Afternoon Elliotc26, Did you get a fix for your question, I'm in same boat fresh Dedi server and install of SLMOD that its doesn't create the folder in question. Thanks in advance, Dangermouse..

Yes can confirm same with my server box, good for a bit then drops off list but everyone can connect via IP....

Fixed... .... update There is a folder called Views in the saved games directory under Config, deleted that and cleared the VR F18c locked head position...... Jim

Weird one, Last couple of days noticed an issue with the F18C at first on the BuddySpike PG server. I thought it was confined to certain spawn points only but after further checking it is definitely affecting the F18c module only and across multiple Multiplayer servers and again in quick missions. The exact issue is that on entering the game I select my vr center button (UI Layer center, bound to warthog) this then sets me right forward and to the left in the cockpit up close to the console. I then try to move my position using the Right/Ctrl+Right/Shift and the numbpad keys but my position doesn’t move .... I have jumped in and tried every other aircraft and the positioning keys work and I can set my view all over the cockpit it seems to be specific to the Hornet..... Is there a cached folder/file or some settings then need clearing? And help much appreciated, Jim

Since last update whilst flying F18 and targeting. When I target lock the lock box jumps all over the hud and doesn’t seem to be fixed to the target point, causing confusion whilst trying to manoeuvre. e.g. target pops up on right side of Aim120 circle on HUD so you turn in that direction to intercept then it jumps to left... Anyone else getting this .. Jim

Got a weird pita ,y right engine to spool up it initiates and at the 20% mark moved throttle out of detent and I see the small needle spin up to 9 o’clock position but engine not spinning up ... Seems to happen randomly any suggestions ... Jim

Afternoon, Loving the Cat and apart from a few niggles at the mo have one niggle I can’t get passed, On retuning from a sortie and needing repairs I can’t seem to get the Lineys to crack on, I’ve tried canopy open engines on, engines of with ground power and air on, with air and ground power off still nothing, have I’ve duffed something .. Jim

Sorry if this has been already discussed .... I have bought the F14 but whilst playing in multiplayer and spawning AI F14’s they appear ingame as the old F14 model... My teammates spawn in F14’s as the new HB model.... Cheers Jim

Cheers will do ……

New DCS Standalone Server Crashing Morning All, Just setting up a Standalone server on another PC - Dell OptiPlex 9020 with i7 4790 with 8gb soon to be 16gb, no GFX apart from the built in HD4600.... At the moment every time I start the server with the commands --server --norender --webgui the game starts to load then crashes with the following last in the log file DX11BACKEND: DX11Renderer::shutdown().. On another note I am using my one and only account for both the server and my own client on my own network... waiting on future option for all maps free for non rendering servers.. Any suggestions or workarounds or ill plump for a low budget Nvidia 1050 … Cheers Literally less than 2 weeks till the Cat drops ….. BOOM at last .
