This is essentially <amusing> standard DCS thread 1C: <Insert DCS New plane or technology here> will grossly unbalance <Insert some server here> and thus make it unfair every time I get shot down so please insert <waste of developer time control measure here> to ensure I never have to justify why I got shot down.

on my Warthog throttle I use L/G Warn for eject (Cant hit it by mistake), and the red button on the front of the throttle grip for VR zoom.

Merker, I saw from your blog that you are were developing an F-8 Crusader model. Between the O-Boat, Scooter and the Crusader this is very exciting stuff. Excellent work! Thank you. Los

My 4k TV/Monitor for my cockpit just sits there unseen as fly I n vr.... But for non DCS flying its awesome!

Magic is as well..

I have tried Miles' Device in vr and its pretty nice. I am looking forward t the finished product. Quite intuitive and small too. Los

We will have to add this to the important list of things to worry about.:joystick:

Whew I was getting worried that a week or two might go by without another thread on this topic being created! :pilotfly:

I have four flight rigs at my place including a full vr cockpit (hey we are a flying family for decades). I dont know your budget but will cover a few rigs superficially. I agree with others, Warthog is the way to go, esp for the A10c. I have two of them and they are great. (We have four full blown flight setups at my place) I have three sets of rudder pedals. I prefer the Saitek pro Pedals. Comfortable, adjustable, sturdy and a good width apart. I also have a set of Crosswind pedals, which are more expensive, but other than being able to say you have a pair of them, (they look cool, are way more expense etc) offer no serious functional difference over the Saiteks.) We also have some CH pro pedals around here which are reliable (and a little cheaper) but dont have adjustable tension, to suit the flyers taste as the others above. They are also are somewhat narrowly spaced We have two VKB sticks, the MCG Pro. They are two very nice sticks, if you are only doing WW2 flying the KGB is fine, modern flying with all the additional hotas controls requirements is best suited to the MCG Pro. They have a lighter throw to them but feel very precise. We have a number of Saitek throttle quadrants which are good esp for general aviation or WW2 stuff. I the past I had a full CH pro fighter set up which served me well for many years. My kids used the Thrustmaster HOTAS X which is a good introductory price HOTAS but ultimately, they all moved on from there The Thrustmaster T1000 with the hall sensors is an accurate reliable and good stick as well, but with less switches and hats, has limited utility to modern AC like the A10. Our rigs are kitted out as such: Main VR Rig: Thrustmaster Warthog set up, Saitek por pedals. Thrustmaster MFDs (with displays behind them), Custom made cockpit panel and powered by Arduino, and HTC VIVE. (And TIR for non VR) Secondary flight rig (Guest/ backup/ travel): Thrustmaster Warthog throttle, VKB MCG Pro stick, crosswind pedals, VR insights panel, TIR, another set of TM MFDs with a box set up for travel with working displays. (I replaced my warthog stck here w the MCG Pro and am trying it out for a year) Youngest sons rig: VKB KGB stick, Saitek quadrant, Komodo helicopter collective, CH Pro pedals, TiR, some various GoFlight panels. Other sons rig we put together as needed but bolted to his area are: Saitek throttle quadrant. Then we have a Saitek General aviation yoke or a thrustmaster t.1000 as needed, TIR, and Saitek pro pedals. Piled up in a box for use as needed: a couple TM Hotas X, more CH Pro pedals, fighter stick and fighter throttle, more Saitek Quadrants, TM F16 Viper Quadrant and stick, More MFDs,more Go Pro stuff, Saitek control gauges. It’s a flight sim jungle over here. With lots of experience with all this stuff, and your query re A10c, I recommend the Warthog, HOTAS if you can afford it. However at the end of the day the Set up that is best for you is the one you get used to and are comfortable with. Cheers.

I use them for views

They can also direct connect if you tell them your servers IP

Go hear and grab the Chuck's guide on the UH1. Read it. Make sure you look at his control setups and adjustments . https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=135765

Cage the Hud during Cat 1 recovery to keep the HUD symbology centered in the display

BTW I set the Flaps to full and take off from the carrier every time w/o issues regardless of the weight. Not even using trim settings.

Agree w all above, landing on the carrier is way easier in VR. I haven't had one crash. (A few bolters though...

Its highly recommended never to go full RET

Agree with others comments, been flying vr (vive) since the day it game out and its awesome. The resolution loss does not outweigh the massive gain in immersion, ability to fly effectively, etc. Los

The THUD!

I too have been using the TUSBA and it works great.

Excellent mission thanks!

I have been using the leapmotion with FSX w my Vive. (Not that I am flying a lot of FSX these days) It works fine depending on the air craft. The lack of tactile feed back is no more an issue to me than the fact that when I pull back on the stick I dont feel gees. When your finger gets near an actionable switch you see switch icon indicate if it a rotary for instance and you twirl your fingers and the control moves.It is a technology that is definitely heading in the right direction. No expensive gloves needed. I haven't tried to get it to work with DCS, assuming its not implemented yet.(Plus I have actual cockpit that I use for many functions in vr)

"Every Marine is a rifleman." Actual Rifleman smile at this bit of semi-propaganda. There's a lot of separation between a clerk who went through Basic and an 0311 that spend months at SOI and then works in a line unit. Sort of like saying every marine pilot is a fighter pilot.

I have a Vive, besides DCS I am having a blast with il2 BOS etc, looks excellent in VR as does Aces High. My understanding is that Xplane 11 beta is available that has vr. I fly FSX in vr using FlyInside but it crashes occasionally.
