Eaglewings

High quality A-10C cockpit is a pleasant surprise. [emoji106] ED

I was really looking forward to the Tranche 1 Typhoon from ED under VEAO (iirc). I was very disappointing when they canceled the development. I was really hoping to relive the days of EF2000

Roger that Baldrick33 and thanks.

Let's hope this is considered as part of the external modeling improvement that is coming to the Viper.

How do I check the version of wmr for steamvr. I am not sure if I have the latest version. I ran the windows update and I have no pending update. Thanks in advance.

Very true statement. I put off getting my first VR headset for a very long time based on the impression of not having a beefy system. I was stunned to have a laptop with 1060 6gb max Q and core i5 do quite well with a samsung Odyssey plus. I now use similarly configured desktop system and no show stopping issues. I should have taken the leap earlier than I did if I had known better. I get intrigued sometimes to see fellows with the 2080ti and i9 having vr related issues like low fps. A 2070super should be a good gpu for vr. The beefy a system is the better for vr I believe though.

That would make my Christmas holiday strictly confined to my gaming desktop area.

It will be great if ED can sneak in a surprise beside what we already know in the open beta update.

I just compared the taxi lights of the two carrier based aircrafts (Hornet and the Tomcat) on the same scenerio and the Tomcat taxi light outshines the Hornet by much. The taxi light has a light brownish tint to it and this reduces the amount of illumination it gives. From external view, the Hornet taxi light seems bright but through the HUD, illumination is tamed.

Welcome back and enjoy. Cheers [emoji1635] to your return.

Odyssey plus here and no noticeable change in fps but it seems to improve fps in dcs 2D screen mode and other games.

Comparing the taxi light on the Viper with that of the Hornet leaves so much to be desired in the Hornet.

Yes this should be looked into by Razbam. This issue with the warning panel in av8b is design related. Clarity of cockpit panels in all modules are usually very good on a 2D monitor but in the case of the harrier I cannot see the warning indicators in the annuciator panel until I zoom in very close. In VR, I barely use it for anything.

I believe I read in one of ED official post (newsletter) that external texture for Viper will get some further improvement.

You could freeze up the game and do the setup. That is what I do if need be.

I knew some kind of a temporary fix would show up soon. I've got to try this. This should keep us going until something official from ED surfaces. Thanks for sharing this.

You may not need to install steam application but definitely would need the steamVR application. Steamvr applications is what interfaces your headset and dcs world.

Absolutely enjoying it. A fun and immersive mission. Thanks

This was the issue. My bad. I read through but didn't know or took cognizance of the modification. Just did those alteration in the script folder and mission loaded alright with mission message displayed. Thanks so much. Now I can explore and enjoy this campaign.

That is my observation and issue with the tanker turn. I can manage with the FA-18 but the F-16 would break contact and tug of war to reconnect when that turn state. Normally would wait till the tanker level out to reconnect. I know in the other F-16 sim, the tanker would call out she is entering a turn. Perhaps tanker pilot are nicer over there. [emoji16] Thank for the info anyways . [emoji106]

I am feeling left out on the thrill of testing out this mission. I still have issues with the script not displaying any message to indicate missions. It is quite strange for me as other with can play it alright. In a fix here.

Interesting information. So how do pilot coordinate if already connected to take fuel. This would not be too much hassles on probe and basket refueling type (FA-18) but for the likes of F-16 and A-10C mode of aar, wouldn't an unannounced turn from the Tanker break contact with the boom? I find it hard to stay connected to a turning tanker in the Viper in dcs.

I really wish release of the supercarrier would be the Christmas package from ED and yes this month also has nice goodies for the Hornet too. Exciting.

I initially thought the brake effectiveness was in question in the Viper but read about this technic put here in a thread on how to land the viper and now I can manage to land the aircraft half way through the runway using this method. Got to try this, works really good.

Yes this will help. My left and right console view of the cockpit in all my modules is nothing beyond the angle I believe the pilot would have to move to head to access those back panels in the real aircraft. Setting my dsc IPD to get what I perceive a good cockpit scale also help. The default 63.5 makes the cockpit bogus. A higher settings makes the panel closer. In addition each aircraft has sweet spot of FOV. Set it up and save it.
