Gun Jam

Just curious if I was the only one still interested in this. Looks like its going to be about 3500+usd delivered for the complete thing assuming you have nothing and get the high end version. It looks like a pretty cool setup other than being a bit heavy and needing base stations. The weight I'm not too worried about but I'm not happy about the base station requirements but I probably can get over that. is anyone else still looking at this after seeing the latest YT vids or am I on my own here?

Thanks bud It was indeed some .dlls associated with the 14/15 that got quarantined by malwarebytes for some reason. Added dcs to the safe folder list seems to be fine now

Hello After getting the hotfix it looks like the f14 and f15 have been disabled. Ive owned both for a long time. At launch I get a window with a time like 2days 14hrs and note that say the following have been disabled the f14 / f15 I tried waiting a day and restarting dcs/ logging in and out. That didnt help how do I proceed. Thanks

So perhaps getting range data from the laser isn't modeled as being suitable for acquisition (a good guess would be if Im getting target range then it should be valid) but its instead based on is it more than 9nm or not. Ill test this out! Thanks -Gun

Hello Flying online with a friend a common thing is for me to find a target for him and he uses the Hornet's LSS and finds the target I have designated for him 1) We are using a unique laser code set by me in the f14 on startup 2) He enters the laser code 3) I find the target and get range data for it 4) he looks for target and sometimes its no issue. In one minute I can send him 6 targets and we have 6 weapons away. Sometimes Finding my laser seems almost impossible but operating conditions dont seem too different... My guess is im overlooking an important step that we get right sometimes and sometimes not. What is required by both planes in order to get a reliable LSS return for the hornet? How much does altitude matter? How much does his distance from me matter? How much does my distance from the target matter... If Im getting range data back is that as good as it gets??? Thanks

I dont use labels but the f10 map is a disaster with VR. The font and objects are so large they are often overlapping and difficult to read.

Was hoping for actual fireballs or something that attempted to recognize fuel on board. I see no visual changes in that dept. yet.

Dang how did I miss this. This is a great discussion. lusciously sorry for the repost

Nice! the dive test is next. lol

This sounded like a cool thing to test. What are your thoughts?

Oh this is probably the issue I didn't know they were related. I'm pretty sure its an air source issue. Thank you!

hello I play a lot of tti and never had an issue with gun before but since 2.9 about 70% of the time I get no gun spool. I thought it was because of the new "save loadout" deal but thats not the case. I can load the plane out manually and set gun to 100% or 99% and 70% of the time it won't spool when I need it. By this I mean if I take off and it works then its fine for that entire flight. If I take off and it wont fire then it wont fire that entire flight. WTH? Ammo counter forever and always has showed zero so Im not sure if its out of ammo?? This is never been an issue before 2.9 and I have no idea how to recreate the problem it just usually doesn't work any help would be great thanks!

I think there are quite a few of us that are holding their breath for the somnium vr1 but thats probably 3 months away still and no one has really seen one for real but it does look promising. as for right now people will fight over pimax crystal vs Varjo Aero. The crystal has better visuals the Aero is a better headset (fight!) I own neither but I suspect thats what a poll would show.

I did place a reservation pretty early on (day 1 maybe) no email yet

did you try core unparking?

Unparking Cores with the app provided by Adrian is simple and is probably the single biggest "hack" to improve quality of life for DCS I've ever used. There are always discussions about turning this or that on or off and it never makes any observable difference and is likley placebo in most cases. That appears to be not the case here. For the last few months I would get intermittent stutters and large FPS drops they would clear up then come back it was quite annoying. Just got through about an hr of online play with not a single issue. Im pretty sure thats not happens before in recent memory. for win 11 running this app should be a requirement before DCS will let you install it. thanks for the tip.

I also notice the same thing. Its easier to spot at 30 miles by far than it is to spot a 1 to 3 miles. The dot at distance is about the size of a football stadium. I use the G2 im not sure if this is a VR issue or a G2 issue. Online this is a massive competitive advantage. The old system by far was superior in terms of accuracy and not having a WTF is that issue.

I did get it to work by using the win y solution and some trickery. To get this to work I have to first alt /tab to another program so DCS is out of focus then with the head set on win y and ill see the mouse cursor move on the out of focus dcs screen. Then alt / tab back to DCS so its in focus and the mouse work but it also appears to crash maybe 60% of the time within 30 seconds of getting the mouse to work.. But when it doesn't crash it seems fine. I think this will do for now until they get it ironed out a bit more.

did you run the sharpness slider up to 1?

Yes I normally start WMR first then launch DCS. This order no longer helps Thanks!

This is has always been an issue and ive never figured it out but I usually had 90% success rate with the mouse working with Vr. When it didn't I could restart a few times and usually get it. Now with 2.9 I can't seem to get the mouse to work ever. If I pull the HMD off I can use the mouse with the HMD on it does not respond. This is with Hp reverb G2 and dcs with the MT tag added to the shortcut. Thanks!

doesn't run reliably in Vr with hp reverb g2. Im using MT. Mixed reality portal shuts down usually after 30 seconds of play time offline. Will keep testing some things.

Thank you for the info!

Does anyone know if the lens will be glass? I have 1000s of dollars invested in a range of optical equipment for magnifying and measuring when it comes to glass you get what you pay for and even the cheapest of these items (a few 100 dollars) still uses glass. Thanks!

This headset caught my attention recently and Im pretty excited for its potential and it being an open source item...enough so that I reserved a spot to order it when its available. now the 2500 dollar question is... Do you really want to receive the ones in the first production run? How many changes will be made in 2 months time? Will they provide those changes to early models? Will they charge for any upgrade components? is this unnecessary worrying cause by pimax?
