  1. Hi all, I just installed the Apache as new bird to learn after my F16-C.  I'm using the Thrustmaster Cougar Hotas and was looking for a Foxy profile for the Cougar.  I didn't find anything around on the internet and on dcs forums, maybe somebody can help me out?

    Thanks, Ross

  2. I just received my new system and installed all software i need to fly DCS in VR. All my drivers, steam, steamvr, Nvidia drivers are the latest drivers.

    When i start up DCS everything seems normal but once in the cockpit steamVR is frozen and gives an error, Oh non, unexcepted error, please restart.

    I reinstalled steam, steamvr, windows reality, etc... but still the same problem.  Sometimes, maybe 5% it will work and startup, but mostly it's frozen and i need to restart steamVR but without solution.

    My system, windows 11 home, i9 - 12900, 32GB of ram, 2TB SSD, Cougar flightstick and the HP reverb G2/V2. (all drivers and software are up to date)

    Maybe somebody had same issue.... maybe windows 11 is the problem, but i don't know...

  3. Just checking for new system, I saw two system who could be interesting for me. Can you help me out which system to buy and what reason?

    Hello everyone For those of you having problems with windows mixed reality and cross eyes the team have enabled a debug tool for the next update.

     To enable you will need to add this line to your autoexec.cfg

    force_cross_eye_recovery_tool = true

    The autoexec.cfg can be found here C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config

    If you do not have one create one using notepad++ and save as .cfg Once enabled the window will appear when you start DCS in VR then adjust to your own preference and click save and close. this will place a VR preference file for your headset in your saved games DCS folder.

    The debug window will not return unless you remove this file from your saved games if you wish to adjust again. We hope this will help some of you using windows mixed reality who are experiencing problem with miss alignment. Thank you.

    Thank you

     

  5. I know there's already alot of treaths starting with settings, configuration, etc, but with all explanations, nothing helps to run it smooth.

    Still trying to config the HP Reverb G2 but without any joy

    My systemconfig: i9-11900/ RTX3080/ 2TB SSD/ 32GB ram. (total new system)

    The big problem i have, when everything is set, the fps are good, but it's just like my eyes don't see everything clear in DCS.  When i'm in the MRP and SteamVR and checking the wide of the eyes it's a clear view of distance on the linial. When i'm in DCS and checking the distance from the eyes with the slider i see the 2 distances (left and right) went trought eachother. (so i mean when i close one eye, it's clear, when i open only the other eye, also clear, when i'm opening both eyes it's not clear, i think it's a setting but i don't know which one..

    Hopely somebody can help me out and so can fly DCS in higher detailed resolution than the Oculus Q2.

    A big thanks topic. Had my USB TM HOTAS Cougar working in the sim, except for the RDR CURSOR microstick. Going thru the steps in the first posts got it working quickly. Thanks for this!

     

    Waxer

    Yes same for me, all working fine except the microstick...

    Waxer if you fixed it, you let me know please, i'm still searching ....

  7. Just flying a copple of days with the Oculus and in my opinion i have some tunnel view, so 'abit' left or right looking doesn't work well, it's all blur.

    I changed the setting of the glasses, 1-2-3 about the distance of the eyes, but nothing works fine.  Also after a while of flying it's just like the Oculus is about the freeze, stuttering,....  also it felt hot, so if i take a break and start again it's over, so i think the cpu on the Oculus had big problems to convert the data from the computer.  For me it's almost not possible to read the instruments without zoom-in. I'm sure that i haven't problems with the fps from my computer, he's strong enough but i think the Oculus isn't....

    Any proposal for a better VR with no tunnel view or distance blur? 

  8. Hi all, new update 😉

    First, i deleted the firmware on the stick, reinstall the Hotas Cougar control panel software (incl Foxy) update Foxy with 4.2 beta. 

    Restart the computer, going to device manager, look for the cougar input and reinstall the drivers. Restart computer and everything gives respons.

    The only thing i have, after some hours of flying, i lost again contact on the flightstick, so no inputs again, pull out and in the usb from the cougar and it works again.

    Still need some testings, maybe everything stays normal.

  9. Foxy software works fine, but i can't connect to my Cougar. Each time i start up the Hotas Cougar Control Panel it says, E2: Ensure that the device is connected and worked properly.

    The only strange thing for me is that windows recognized the stick and it's possible to see the movements, axis and buttoms..

     

  10. Hi Rudel, very interesting and good explanation to configure the TM Cougar.  I just restarted DCS after a 10 year brake 😉. I followed all your steps but everytime it says, ERROR 1008: Device error.  But when i'm looking to calibrate it in de windows software i have no problem and can do the job.  I installed all latest files as you mentioned. Dunno anymore what to do, because i'm sure the total hotas works fine and could fly with the general axis without compiling the buttoms. Hopely you can help me out and so i can start the whole procedure for the F-16C learning curve 😉

    I'm on windows 11, with a total new system.

    Thanks, 

    Ross

  12. New DCS skin for our Belgian Air Force F-16 Dark Falcon 2020

     

    Who in this treath is a very good skinner? I'm about 10 years away from DCS, but I'm back :)

    I'm the media responsable for our F-16 demo and like somebody to make the virtual DCS version from our 2020 livery.

    You can contact me by mail..

    Thanks in advance...

  13. Hi all, after about 10 years I think the time is right to come back to DCS. My history on DCS:

    I started in lockon as 169th_Ross, and I flew a couple of years with this great virtual sqn with 169th_Ice as CO.

    I was betatester on the Ka-50 and the A10C. (so some years ago :music_whistling:)

    After the squadron was disbanded I joined the 104th_Phoenix sqn, also a great bunch of professional guys, ....104th_Mustang, 104th_Polecat,..., 104th_Manawar,.....

    So right now I think it's time to join again this amazing flight simulator,.. but I will only fly VR.

     

    A second thing, I need to configure a new rig, and the only thing I have is the flight stick thrust master cougar, a case, power supply, pc screen, keyboard, and mousse.... so I need to check for all other stuff. I would like flying with the cougar flight stick because I will only fly the F-16, as I'm a A2A photographer for the Belgian Air Force and can sometimes take the real stick in real flight, ...would be great to use same stick in VR.

    If some of you guys are interest in my job check my IG as ross_impress. (this is no publicity for me :smilewink:)

    So I hope I can join soon again in the DCS world environment.

    I don't need the 'top' system but it should run smooth with enough fps.

     

    All help is welcome ;)

     

    Best regards,

     

    Ross...

  14. Will be 5 parts :)

     

    Last night VTM in Belgium started a 3 part documentary on the F-16s here featuring the crew and aircraft at Kleine Brogel and in Jordan.

     

    It was very interesting and featured one pilot's last flight, he was quite emotional when he came back from the flight.
