Thats 20 years ago. MBDA are no slouches. When they say they have a missile that has a NEZ orders of magnitude more than anything else out there theyre not kidding. No one here has proof one way or another. But considering the technology theyre using and their track record I have no problem believing the Meteor is king of the hill till something else comes along with either similar or entirely "gamechanging" technology.

You can get a free F16 with a multipack of Diet coke. Doesnt mean its the best. Every man and his dog has one, and they probably would find it easier to purchase 120Ds than transition to a Meteor platform.

Thats interesting. If we assume they were flying at Med/High Alt and giving themselves room to extend (ie not pushing too close to RTR) than thats not too far removed from current DCS missile kinematics.

I remember that video. It was one of my favourites at the time! Thanks for the memories.

Sad news indeed.

Ramjet >> No Ramjet

Fine for me with modern airframes. With 2nd or 3rd gen airframes dot hunting is a problem till ED fixes the resolution dependant dot discrepancy.

The detail does look good...

Other commitments meant that I missed the live stream today but im looking forward to watching it later today when I finally get some time to myself! I have to admit to being behind the curve to this live streaming business. When it was first touted to me I was a little dismissive but it certainly one of the most enjoyable aspects of DCS MP events now. Especially when you get to know the regulars! Remember SATAL is an (almost) year long event. The first match is just the start. Lots more opportunity to try new tactics and see what other are doing.

Hi, See post 71 for missions and weather.

If ED published a detailed change log they would save everyones time, especially their own, from having to post and read through "bugs" that are infact intended "features" If they've removed it on purpose because the real HUD doesnt have it thats fine. But will they model the real pilots alternative? And if so, why keep the -10 and beyond range? Not taking the time to publish a detailed changelog is a huge false economy.

The display still has 3840x2160 pixels (per display or eye). It just takes a 1440p input. Similar to buying a 4K monitor but only running DCS at 2560x1600 in full screen. When you press your eyeball to the monitor the individual pixels are still the same size and there are still just as many. Its just more of them are used to represent the source 'pixels'. Consequently SDE is eliminated even with a lower input. If you want a 4k signal displayed over a 4k display you want the 8KX. 8KX backers will be 'loaned' an 8K till the 8KX is available. Im under no illusion of the graphical penalty of the 8KX.

I think some of your number are a little off. Only the 8KX is full 4k (3840x2160) input and output per eye. Theres no release date for that yet and undoubtedly it will cripple a 2080ti. The 8K takes a 2560x1440 signal per eye and upscales it to 3840x2160 pixels per eye. Furthermore the fact that a gfx card can display that many pixels is no indication that it can do it with reasonable fps. Looking forward to your 4k review!

Either way still pretty close!

What PD do you run the SO at? The tracking software for the Pimax 4k is not good which is why I didnt recommend it to a previous poster. But the 8K will be using steam VR tracking 2.0 which if 1.0 is anything to go by, will be great. p.s. SO 1440x1600 *2 = 4608000 pixels. If you add 1.5 PD = 6912000 pixels 8K 1440x2560 *2 = 7372800 pixels So yes. The 8K will be more demanding than a SO at native. But you start adding some PD into the SO, as many people here advocate, and you get very little difference in GPU load. Except the 8K is doing it at a natively higher resolution. Once I receive the 8K ill post a review of that too. Dont worry, If I dont like it Ill slam it too:) pps. CV2 aint gonna happen. Forget it. FB is leaving the 'gamer' VR and focusing on the more accessible social media type VR. Its sad for us but I understand if they want to focus on their core strengths and leave the gamer market (how many FB users have 1080tis?) to steam etc. :shrug:

Hi, From the OP: 16gb 3200CL14 Ram. Samsung 960 evo Nvme. Ive never used the Pimax 4K but from what ive read its prob not a good purchase right now.

Actually I have a squadmate who is very effective in PVP with the Rift. Its what spurred me on to get the SO. For me its not the competitive nature in PVP thats the killer. You can get round that with modern airframes, tactics and experience. Ultimately it was the severe degradation in IQ. For me DCS is just too pretty and lifelike especially with the new lighting to be happy with a low res, jaggedy, pixellated blotchy mess in VR. I tried tinkering with everything including PD, MSAA, graphical settings etc. Its my own fault for being used to flying on a big screen at 4K with everything turned up to 11. Im still in no doubt that VR is the future. We're just not there yet imho. If I hadnt kickstarted the Pimax 8k I would probably have persevered with the SO a little longer. But seeing as the 8k is supposedly due in Q2 and I already have a buyer for the SO im afraid its already back in its box.

Sure. Just ping me on our TS or Discord <51>Rage

Although this seems to affect all planes it also seems to affect the F15 the most. F15s certainly seem to be the most frequently tanky. I dont know if thats a consequence of its FM/DM or a consequence of the missiles usually fired at it.

Yeah I found that too. You had it slide it down further at the front and have the strap sitting higher at the back then you might think. Still very comfortable though. Despite all that I still found it wanting.
