[Oculus Rift S With DCS World Discussion]

You can use it at any angle or position because at any point you can "recenter" the view and when you do that (either in game or via the Oculus Button on the Touch Controller) it looks at your current orientation and makes that your new 'centered' position.

 

Here is an example in the way I play. For DCS, I have my HOTAS on either side of my keyboard facing my main monitor so when I play flight sims and I put on the headset, my straight ahead view by default is my normal facing while I am using my computer. However, I also play racing sims, and for that I have a full Force Feedback steering wheel and pedals setup which is attached to a different desk 90 degrees to my left and a few feet away. I also use a lower chair when driving which is also inclined. When I play those games, I just "recenter" my view and now even though I am sitting lower, at a different angle and orientation several feet away from where I was in DCS, my view is still aligned to my new driving controls, not my HOTAS.

 

I'ts all very flexible and you can pretty much sit, stand, kneel or hell even lay on the ground and look straight up if you want, although if you did that reaching your joystick might be hard. ;)

 

One cool trick if you have the space in your playing area is to stand up and walk a few feet away from your normal sitting position and look back at the cockpit of your plane/helo. Be warned, it can be a little disconcerting if you're flying though! Kind of like wing walking... ;)

 

Thanks for the reply its a relief to know its all very flexible :) I would assume that feature is in all the latest VR products

Can I use it in a slightly reclined position about 30 deg(lazy boy chair) or do I have to sit bolt upright

[Rolls hard to the right hands free]

Takeoff, jettison the stores and see if she flies straight.

 

Thanks a lot for your help but its now resolved as of a few posts above :-)

[Rolls hard to the right hands free]

Have you got an asymmetric payload? Try timing the ailerons

 

it was default from the "instant action flight " so no input from me at all

[Rolls hard to the right hands free]

Hi, maybe this :

on takeoff, A10c has a strong trim forward, but if you didn't tick "swap axis" in A10c control settings / axes / your X or Y axis / FF tune, this trim will be applied to the right.

If it's the issue, then tick "swap axis" it will resolve it, and also solve the inverted trim buttons response (if "swap axis" not ticked, the "forward" trim command you mapped will apply trim to right, and so on for the 3 other commands....)

 

Thanks for this problem solved! flies straight as an arrow..never would have thought of that myself

[Rolls hard to the right hands free]

Hi

 

My force feed back stick is centered with all other aircraft except with the A10 which will complete a barrel roll hands free.

 

How can I rectify this?

[No Modules in 2.5]

Thanks for the help guys its all sorted now :-)

[No Modules in 2.5]

You have to reinstall your modules since it's a fresh install of DCS. Click on the module manager icon and login to download your modules.

 

"Click on the module manager icon"

 

You mean the one inside 2.5 version? I did that but it only offers me the option to buy modules. Is there another icon ?

[Steam only sale]

Ive stayed away from DCS and spend all my time with FSX SE. Reason being is all this nonsense ...I have modules that no longer show up and steam purchases that wont bind on 2.5 and add to that 2 year old support requests on DCS stand alone with replies saying we are to busy now but we reply soon and today I see those tickets closed with no further input from DCS

 

If there is a more confusing way to purchase gaming modules over different platforms I would like to see it!

[No Modules in 2.5]

I have no idea where to post this.

 

After uninstalling an old version of DCS I installed the latest version today and went into modules and there is nothing there :helpsmilie:

[Vive or CV1 - Decision time after using both]

cheap charlie,

I don't have a reclined seat, but I can recline my chair pretty far. I'll give it a shot and report back.

 

 

Ok many thanks

[Vive or CV1 - Decision time after using both]

Thanks for that report. I have a question, can the rift be used in a reclining seat like a lazy boy or do you have to sit upright to use it properly like Track ir?

[Deleting my account]

What's the point of deleting? Could just let it idle.

 

Its like leaving a bottle of scotch in the cupboard just when you joined AA

[Hawker Hunter plane has crashed during an airshow in Shoreham-By Sea, West Sussex]

Could have just as easy stalled trying to pull out of the dive in which case the pilot will be devastated at the loss of life

[Little bit dissapointed]

Cant stop flying it

[Palyseat Flightseat]

Just curious, what do you use the second throttles for?

[Realistic Screen Size and FoV]

Ive had them all up to 100" projector screen and found that my current 55" 1080p at 4 feet is the most natural and immersive however resolution plays a big part as well. 4k allows closer sit distance for a bigger screen so it would be the easiest to set up

[Hight-adjustable joystick-stand from a $15 IKEA table.]

I have the same iKEA table sitting next to me that I use for beer or coffee etc its quite handy for light stuff but its very unstable , light and wobbly. Ive no idea how it would keep the throttles from tipping over

[Restoring back up from saved games]

Thanks gents the mystery is unraveled. Im going to hook into this right now :-)

[Low Frames on GTX 750Ti SC - Fixed]

Am I dreaming ? I cant believe the difference when switching to 1 screen. My gtx 560ti that I have been closely monitoring for another issue just dropped from a constant 99% load to 50-60%.

 

Super find OP!

[Restoring back up from saved games]

Hi, when I go to my saved games folder I now see 2 folders, I DCS folder and a DCSd folder. Why are there 2?

 

Secondly whats the correct procedure for restoring the backed up files after an update

Thanks guys

 

edit

I think Im looking in the wrong place for a back up folder. Where is exactly would it be? the last update set my controls back to default

[How to back up before update]

I see thanks for that

[How to back up before update]

I just backed up the wrong folder and installed the latest update and lost all my modules and settings however I did a System image back up before that and was able to restored everything

 

Before I try again Can somebody point me to a thread that details exactly what folders I need to back up before installing the latest DCW update?

[F15 HUD hard to see]

Im kinda surprised that nobody knows the answer :huh: I read in an old post that changing the SU27 hud color also changes the F15 but the path has changed in FC3 and I couldn't find the file I needed to edit
