Wow VR is crap? some one needs to warn those of us that are flying VR every day for the past 6 months, and having a transformational gaming experience because of it... BTW I've got leap motion working with FSX Vr (Flyinside) so long as its an aircraft that is maximized for it, it works well and you can reach out twist knobs and flip switches, so nothing in the original video is pie in the sky.

They could just bring on a few veteran QA specialists.

Yeah imagine of something they did broke Fixed wings aircraft ability to fire weapons,. Thats the equivalent of the problems we have faced on the rotary wing side. Firs the regular way of boarding troops via waypoints broken about a month ago, and now this. Hopefully we see a quick fix, our group is in the midst of a hot and heavy campaign and we are flying almost every night, this was a key component.

HI I was hoping someone could walk us through the specifics for getting this to work or post a quick sample mission file? ex: My mission has a single UH1 in group named "uh1 slick1". (among other groups). And other ctld elements set per normal I create a trigger: At Mission Start Time, more than 1 second, then: "radio item add for group" I select "UH1 slick1"; name "F10", Flag=1 Value=1 Then I add two more triggers: at mission start, Time more than 3, do script mist.lua at mission start, time more than 8, so script file ctld.lua Go to my pickzone1 (All the other CTLD set up per usual, an no radio option to pick up troops. Am I using the right script command? "radio add item for group"? Thanks in advance for any guidance. p.s. I have attached what I am doing. LHI-Wk3_d1v1.miz

Same here no joy on ctld...yeesh.

This is correct F10 radio menus not showing up which means CTLD script is broken...a disaster for UH1 and Mi8 pilots...right in the middle of our multiplayer campaign as well. This is based on today's update.

Be advise there is currently an unfixed bug in DCS, so loading and unloading troops via waypoints in the ME is broken. However it can be easily accomplish using the CTLD scripts. Go to this website DL, pull up teh read.me and a cup of coffee and learn. Also has sample missions, that you can take and modify. https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-CTLD Los

Same issue here HTC-Vive

OK I did some more research. My Pixel density in DCS is set to 1.5. If I set it to 1.4 and below teh normal darker crisper colors return that were present prior to this patch. It is only when I go above 1.4 (Even if I set the density in options.lua to 1.41 or above) it then becomes brighter and somewhat washed out in the headset. I tried changing rendertargetmultiplier in the STEAMvr.vrsettings and changing those numbers had no difference in the look of DCS in game, only the in Game options of Pixel density effect this. In the attachment it is a screenshot unfortunately it take sit from teh desktop but even there you can see the brightness difference. In the Vive Headset it is more brighter, again like a very bright sunny day. I just wanted to bring this up as this is a change from how things were looking bright about by he latest patch. On the bright side...no pun intended...thanks for enabling Vr zoom for the vive! Los p.s. One other point: This issue does not exist in the DCS world 2 open beta latest build, I can swan about even up to 2.0 pixel density and there no change in colors. Just thought I'd add that as a point of reference. Cheers.

Hey guys just updated to DCS 1.5.5.59992 Update 2. I have an HTC Vive (Specs below) and there is a marked increase in brightness with the new version, like an extra hazy sunny day. Was just flying on a test server with our usual training mission up, with my friend MilesD who has an Oculus Rift a(We have the exact same PCs) and he also reported the same issue. Its not a show stopper but definately changed form eth last update Our specs: Nvidia GEFORCE 980ti w latest update 32 gb RAM Crucial 500mb SSD Intel I7 6700k CPU 4.01 ghz Windows 10 64 bit HTC-Vive w latest update Warthog Hotas and Saitek Combat Pedals

A quick observation question. I have multiple copies of DCS at my host (2 flying sons and guests as well). And five buddies I fly with online. Typically I'll host Lan party gatherings or the guys will join in from online while I'm on a listen server. Both these methods work great and have provided mucho fun and stable team flying. If I am hosting an online server and guys are on it flying, and another PC at my house connects (I assume its happening via LAN and not going out to the internet and back) invariably there will be a a crash..maybe not right away but within a few minutes. Its like online and LAN dont want to play nice together. Is there anything obvious that anyone has encountered wrt to this problem? Thanks! Los

Here another issue both my friend and I have both had (I use Vive he uses rift) in multiplayer vr DCS. You have to drag the task bar from the bottom of the desktop screen to the side of the screen, because accessing the FLY button in MP sometimes me Means clicking on a portion of the desktop vr display windows that extends into the task bar. We both moved our task bar and it solved both our problems.

F10 view in Vr is not functional for us as well, at least in my buddies Rift and my Vive. You can see the icons, but you can not see theactual contour map. Los

Guys we fly LAN DCS UH-1 all the time. Just host a game as normal on one machine (Name it something your recognize) and everyone will see it in the multiplayer broswer

I have the Vive (and my buddy who flies DCS has the OR). I have pixel density set to 1.5, the cockpit looks great for the gazelle. How you wear the headset and minor adjustments one makes with the headset dials in the crispness of view for the cockpit gauges depending on yoru actual vision.

I have Komodo Collective..be advised it took over 6 months to arrive! Los

Crash landing in a 51.... Hit ground hard, nose tipped over and then back up, bending prop. This immediately made me nauseous ( though I haven't had much sickness w the vive.) Anyway I shut my eyes for a second. The plane veered off the runway and the left undercarriage broke off. The plane tipped over on its side and I shut my eyes again and waited for it to stop.(sidebar my stomach was already bugging me because of something I ate.) anyway I waited a few seconds then opened my eyes again. Plane was on its side, with the wing sheared off. At the root. I was hanging in the seat by my straps looking down to my left out the window. The fuel tank had ruptured and fire was spreading on the ground right below me. It was somewhat startling. All good incentive not to crash. Los

A few questions I did not see answered: - Do all officers in the USAF become pilots / or are there "ground officers" also? No not all officers are pilots, I would not be surprised if its even half. There are many various professions in the air force: meteorologists, ATC, logistical. maintenance specialists, administration, Base Police, medical, missiles, Para rescue and Combat controllers, all have officer branches associated. Before one embarks on their aviation career you must first get commissioned and then get a flight training slot. It takes a four year college degree to become an officer, either through the air force academy, reserve officers training Corps (you take tat while going to a regular university) or officer candidate school (for enlisted with their degree..perhaps even non enlisted civilians tat didn't take ROTC but have their degree) Hope that helps...

Hello all, I set up my MFDs with a main monitor (1920x1080 aspect 1.778 running in windows mode) and two Lilliput 8"inchers beg\hind cougar MFDs,. It works great. My only minor problem is that I see a little bit of my windows desktop above and below the center screen. How can I get rid of this? I have read through all 40 something pages here and it is mentioned in passing every once and a while and I have tried putting the aspect ratio into my Lua at the main vid options screen etc but no matter what I get a little bit of windows above and below my main center screen. Any help or guidance appreciated. Thank you! Los Los
