Gun Jam

Im speculating, as the price for the full kit has not been revealed yet. I was planning on getting the full kit and I suspect that its easily going to cost over 3500. Let's be realistic about this as I need 1 or 2 base stations, some controllers, the cost of the VR1 unit which is still in development and keeps getting more expensive as they add the possibility of chromatic aberration reduction hardware, headphones, eye tracking, hand tracking, MR cams. Then lets add tax, shipping. I also don't even know how the tax works. Im expecting that its going to be my state tax and not euro tax. So yeah by the time I get this delivered, running with audio and controllers Im quite sure I would be kidding myself If I thought I was going to only be spending 3000. But yeah we shall see maybe I'll be surprised in a good way... Doubt it.

Im cautiously optimistic about it. I'm pretty sure at this point I'll order one. I have low reservation number and if returns are allowed with little effort then I'll try it out. It's seems like its better in most areas,( Sweet spot, clarity over all, brightness, FOV, operation stability, colors, modability, hand tracking and eye tracking) The primary issues seem to be outside tracking only, weight, and incompleteness at this point as in no known headstrap, audio, or controllers but that's expected to be address before they start taking payment at least with the headstrap and audio. we shall see.

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?

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!
