Hi everyone, I know I have no right to demand people make a mod, but I can but try and hope someone has a similar interest. I absolutely love the Spitfire, but in particular love the period around the Battle of Britain and the Mk I and MkIa Spitfire. Is there a possibility someone who has the capability could alter the DCS Spitfire model and remove the cannons so the aircraft looks like a MkI, because unfortunately I have no idea how I would go about it, Someone done some great skins of early war Spitfires but it just doesn't look right with the Hispano Cannons. Of course there are other differences but that is the main noticeable one for me. I personally think it would be a great mod...

Yeah I did read that it’s not a simple process. Thankyou for your efforts Tanuki44

thankyou so much that's really kind....

If i can find someone capable of adapting your mod to other modules would you give permission to apply it?

unfortunately no there are many aircraft A10 F14 F15 F16 APACHE KA50 FW190 A8, and others that still don't have this feature, it has been explained that it is not a particularly easy thing to render, which is why I applaud your work. As a VR user like many we find it adds a lot of immersion.

Thankyou for trying to explain my friend unfortunately I have very little idea of what to do but I will give it a try, of course I would never distribute the amazing work you have done.

Ok first of all check this out Pilot-Copilot for UH-60L Mod (digitalcombatsimulator.com) I want to applaud this guy what an amazing job he has done to add this to the UH-60 mod. I have asked him of the possibility to apply his mod to the Tomcat? Maybe with some persuasion he would do it people ?

Could you apply this mod to other dcs Modules? Namely the Tomcat? Its an incredible job you've done and there are so many people that would love this mod added to other modules in DCS....

Would it be possible to modify the cuff on the vr pilot body to disguise the wrist which looks like an alien hand it’s so skinny

2 years since original post, I had heard in an interview the ED understood that this was a feature that was wanted by the community and that they would be working to add the features. There is a lack of organization in its implementation. For example it sounds like the Apache will have this feature soon, yet the A10 and blackshark still don't have it, is it not time to start with the first modules and work your way through?

Is there a way to make the IHADSS Monocle position move?, I'm finding that although I have it only setup to render in my right eye it looks more in the centre of my VR display, I use VR with a Reverb G2.

Would be nice to get some info it’s now Mar 2022. I know we are told it’s being worked on and it’s not an easy process but a little update a glimpse of what has been done maybe.

So unless there is a different keybind other that rightshift-P VR pilots are not available yet.

I have a set of VKB mk IV pedals, I have always felt something is not right with rudder setup in dcs. For example to centre the ball it feels like my input needs to be non-existent. If i step on rudder in the direction i'm turning its always to much despite being the most minute of inputs. I probably centre the ball better in a turn by not touching the pedals, Its almost like I have auto rudder applied in the sim but I don't. I've tried applying curve but that does not help. If i start applying dead zone I loose precision.

Yeah tried both thanks.

I don't think it is my overclock, I had a reverb G1 before and its since changing to a G2 that I've had the constant steam VR crashes.

its getting really annoying now its happening after every mission, I start dcs I load a mission fine I then attempt to load a second flight and it crashes and I have to restart steam vr and dcs. I keep changing from non-beta to beta and it makes no difference.

Military aircraft mod was a good addition and added some really nice models, would love to see more of this as just having AI would be welcome, adding flyable mods just to have the AI units starts to effect performance for me. But we shouldn't just assume people will just produce these mods, it takes time to make the models and if the don't make them they need to be purchased.

Could you possibly offer to allow this as an official mod to dcs and would it be possible for you to incorporate this into DCS ED it is such a great mod.

thanks for the replies tried fresh install of steam vr cleared all previous settings but unfortunately still get regular crashes, seems to be only DCS

Keep getting crashes, critical errors with steam VR, just switched to a HP G2 from a G1, has anybody had similar experiences?

To me the first thing that struck me with VR was that I no longer had the feeling I was sitting in front of a monitor I was actually strapped inside a cockpit, and if you get your IPD distances correct it can give you an incredible sense of immersion, and makes you feel more like you've bought a quality product, almost like you own the airplane. But I have to say that with VR, looking down and seeing seatbelts laying on a seat not strapped around your body, it just looks unfinished, like the aircraft is parked in the hangar. The F14 for example, I look in the mirrors I see this amazing rendered pilot that mimics my movements, amazing, I look over my shoulder and see the amazing work done on the beautifully rendered RIO, Then I look down and see and empty space with seatbelts laying on the seat, so its like the whole process of trying to fool the brain into believing this is real is let down at the last hurdle. Personally it makes a massive difference in VR, and I find the Hornet the most immersive module. Its definitely a VR thing, when I played with Track IR it didn't bother me but the 3d aspect of virtual reality means its an important factor in polishing the module and creating the immersion. And I also think its extremely important with helicopters or side by side layout cockpits.

They have another in the pipeline? I would have thought they have enough on their plate now

im going to make a request here and im not sure if its possible but but it seems like HB want to implement a pilot body with animations which sounds ground breaking and great but i have a feeling it could be taxing on my pc and my pc is quite powerful, I can just about maintain 45fps in vr with the Tomcat, I know a lot struggle with fps in the tomcat, not sure if it would be possible to toggle animations on or off?
