This looks interesting, I’ve never used it but maybe there is some feedback here. I just have to imagine head tracking is going to work better with actual sensors and that really just amounts to wearing a visor cap. But maybe this is worth a try.
-
Yeah same here. Trying to generate a simple mission with 8 ground units and the progress stays stuck at 95%
-
Maybe adjusting the response curves on OpenTrack would help. I don’t have trouble like that with TrackIR. Maybe the settings are too sensitive. You should be able to get very realistic visibility in 4K without the need for dots or labels.

Are you using the zoom view? Because you should be. And to be realistic it wouldn’t always be easy to see a ground target especially if it’s camouflaged. You should have no trouble getting realistic visibility with that display though.

DCS with Windows 10 after 10/2025
SharpeXB replied to BJ55's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
That’s the only thing that matters. It’s really simple math. The extra cost of such compatibility and support would have to be paid for. If those costs are low enough it might be worthwhile. But if Linux wouldn’t add enough customers then it’s not. It’s a and dilemma. ED doesn’t set the market they just follow it. In all likelihood this will never be profitable. -
DCS with Windows 10 after 10/2025
SharpeXB replied to BJ55's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
From here: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey This is the customer base DCS is selling to. They mostly don't use Linux for obvious reasons. Flight sim players probably even less so because they depend on so many peripherals that might not work with anything but Windows. -
DCS with Windows 10 after 10/2025
SharpeXB replied to BJ55's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
“Growing” is a relative thing. Linux still only has a +/- 2% market share for gaming. I can’t see how it would be cost effective to add compatibility and ongoing support for such small numbers. Very large games could absorb such costs but I imagine DCS is too small for this. -
Check these out. They’re the only campaigns like it that I’m aware of but are really great. It would be cool to have these for other modules. https://forum.dcs.world/forum/381-a-10c-basic-flight-training-qualification-dlc/ https://forum.dcs.world/forum/422-a-10c-advanced-aircraft-training-qualification-campaign/

Are there plans to improve spotting dots any further?
SharpeXB replied to RyanR's topic in View and Spotting Bugs
Yeah unfortunately the current system is exploitable by players who don’t care that it makes their game look terrible. It’s a simple hack to just lower your resolution and make the dots bigger. And see aircraft easily at unrealistic ranges. -
[GROUND VEHICLES] FF Modules of Ground Vehicles
SharpeXB replied to SOLIDKREATE's topic in DCS Core Wish List
Terrorists would have nothing to fear from armored vehicles today. We’ll just assume DCS “modern” is set in the pre-drone era. -
[GROUND VEHICLES] FF Modules of Ground Vehicles
SharpeXB replied to SOLIDKREATE's topic in DCS Core Wish List
It’s a fair idea. But even in the near-modern era simulated in DCS ground vehicles are obsolete rolling coffins. They’re just cannon fodder for a multitude of aircraft and weapons. So they wouldn’t be much fun. -
Proposal: Free modern onboarding and/or trainer module

I’m sure it does What’s unfortunate is DCS does not even come close to showing what that screen can do. Try some more current HDR capable games are see
-
Oh the Hornet could definitely do with an updated model and cockpit on the level with the newer modules. It’s sad that by the time a module gets finished it’s ready for a refresh because it’s so dated by that point.
-
Yeah I find the phenomenon of shiny screens to be about the dumbest thing ever done to TVs (a tie with soap opera refresh rates). It makes them into a giant mirror and is just super distracting. It’s just done to make them more appealing in showrooms since it makes the blacks appear darker. Fortunately monitors seem to universally have matte screens. The LG OLED mentioned above has a matte screen. Another contributor to its 10/10 score IMO
-
I’m not sure of a good reason to do that. You would just be limiting an otherwise strong system for no purpose. There’s nothing wrong with 60 FPS but if that’s all you want you could save the money on your components. Otherwise you aren’t getting what you paid for. If your display is capable of a higher refresh rate then use if. That’s not always the case. For example I am GPU limited in DCS with the specs below, running 4K at 120 Hz. It depends on the settings. Some are CPU dependent and some are not.
-
My guess would be that VR is more demanding on the CPU since it’s drawing dual images. So that bottleneck means the GPU isn’t being utilized fully.

SharpeXB replied to Luca Kowalski's topic in DCS Core Wish List
A Catch-22 because the nature of the game makes it difficult. That’s an indicator that these civy sims must have 10-50x as many customers. (Note these nor the game is free) Yet they don’t need any such trainers to attract them. There are all sorts of other reasons DCS is a niche.
