They have posted some very neat renders of the pilots in the cockpit. But I still don’t know for sure if this means there will be an in cockpit VR pilot?

Yes with that lineup I can’t see the Tornado coming from HB which is a shame for me as they have showed what they can do with an interdiction Aircraft. I do feel it would be a great addition to dcs but what made the old DI sim so great was the ME and the ability to command multiple flights arranging times on target and also the way the dynamic campaign worked, hitting water supplies would effect the enemy’s morale etc. It was groundbreaking for its time, and as of yet we still have nothing like it in dcs. My wish is for a similar style dynamic campaign and a tornado module one day.

has anyone got any skins for UK pilots for the updated pilots in the gazelle now?

it hasn't but chill out its no big deal

Great thanks

Listening to the latest episode of the air combat sim podcast. They have a former F14 RIO and at one point he talks about if you had one jet with one working missile i.e the Phoenix it would be a bonus and the missile was a bit of a nightmare. Was the missile that bad? Or was it a case of towards the end of the missiles life cycle they become more and more temperamental. If this is the case is the Phoenix over performing in dcs? reading the only two times the Phoenix has been fired in combat by the us it has failed. Although in Iranian service it has been claimed to be far more successful. Perhaps dud missiles need to be simulated maybe

I would love to see a Miramar mod with hangars and the like from the airbase. I remember there was some payware that did it for FS2004 or something it was fun. I know we don’t have a map of California but maybe for the Nevada map it would be a lot of fun

yeah its not the flood lights they are off

Ok thanks for the advice I have Clocked to 4.8ghz I originally tried 5.0 stupidly instead of incrementing and the PC wouldn't boot. Fortunately removing my battery from the board reset the bios. I then incremented until I reached 4.8 and loaded and XMP2 profile for my memory all seems stable and I have achieved a significantly higher benchmark. I am achieving 45fps in the F14 although I am running a modded cockpit. But I have noticed a big jump in performance. For example I can fly over Dover in the Channel map without any drops from 45fps which I have never been able to achieve before. I also have been able to run clouds at high as well which is a bonus as they look pretty awful in VR if set to low. Thanks everyone.

Does anybody else find with the Spitfire that the cockpit seems too illuminated in VR particularly around the area where your rudder pedals are. It looks as though I have flood lights on but I have checked that I don't. I feel it should be more shadowy perhaps its just me.

Thanks posted above

Thanks that looks beautiful, unfortunately I have no idea how you would incorporate this into an ai mod, I would pay to get it but wouldn't know what to do with it lol, should have been more clear, does anybody have something they have made to work in DCS.

Hi, i9 11900k overclocked at 4.20ghz RTX 3080 10 GB 64gb DDr4 3600 RAM Running a Reverb G1 I have always had at least 2xMSAA set as I just find it looks so awful without, all other modules I can do this and maintain 45fps. With the F18 and AV8b I can run 4x MSAA The only way I can maintain 45 fps with the F14 without dropping into the 30s is by running modded cockpits. The standard cockpit textures seem to be too much to handle. Once the sim drops into the 30s its very noticeable with screen tearing. Would just like to run at 45fps without jagged edges and shimmering and not have to keep using mods, thanks for any advice or help.

I'd like to see some more British ai assets. Tornado adv, lynx helicopter, puma helicopter. Nimrod, sea harrier, would like a decent model of the F4 as well. But not the ugly ones an F4J or K

Does anybody have a .model of the Tornado ADV that they could add to dcs as just an ai mod? Would like to make some missions with it?

As title suggests does it have one? Thanks

Bought a new PC was hoping to have the F14 where I wanted it with VR sadly it still underperforms and like the first post says is the only module that does, tried the brickdust VR friendly pit mod, it gains a few FPS but still underperforms in my opinion. Its a shame a was hoping a new rig would bring the best out of the F14. But on the plus side all other modules are running beautifully.

So my new system is running beautifully with most modules after some playing around. Initially was getting around 65fps in VR Win 11 with my new rig. I had very high settings 4X MSAA textures high water high shadows medium, high terrain textures, terrain distance medium, clouds high. Despite the decent fps looking side to side I noticed unacceptable juddering. Motion smoothing didn't help. However enabling motion vector in reprojection options has given me incredibly smooth performance, FPS is set at 45fps but looking side to side and the way objects rush towards and past me is better than I have ever experienced, very pleased. I have high hopes for channel map once it downloads as i've never been able to enjoy it in VR, fingers crossed. HBs F14 is still the worst offender and despite my rig I cant run the Tomcat to anywhere near the settings I have for say the Hornet or the Harrier. So I have some playing around to do to see what sort of graphics settings I can apply for that. I noticed that GPU scheduling is on by default in Win 11. I have turned it off and shall see if that makes a difference. Edit: GPU Scheduling with Win11 seems to be of benefit where as with Win 10 it seemed to hamper performance i9 11900k @ 4.20ghz 64gb DDR4 3600 memory GeForce RTX 3080 HP Reverb G1

I just don't want it to disapear for a year while they make a new one i'm quite happy with the existing it would be nice to have it updated but when they did the new blackshark cockpit the pilot model never came back

I’ve just ordered a new pc and they can only pre install windows 11 on it so hopefully I will find dcs works like some have said. If not I will have to format and reinstall windows 10.

So after much deliberation I decided to order a custom build PC, the price of video cards atm means its more feasible for me to buy a custom build and sell the parts of my old computer. Its the first time I have not built my own PC, but I've gone with specs that should be as suited to DCS VR as possible.

performance gain was minimal compared to the 1080ti so i sent it back, pondering whether to try with a 3070ti.

saw a 6800 become available for just over 1000 pounds at overclockers.co.uk so have gone for it I shall keep my fingers crossed it lives up to expectations Hopefully having 16gb of video memory will help with VR

I hope so F14 cockpit isn’t very taxing for me in VR.

Yeah thanks, I think I’ve worked out the stick is absolutely garbage. I shall keep a look out for a MS FFB. I tried the F16 and the F14. It is working but with the F16 there is hardly any feedback. F14 there is but the level of quality and accuracy compared to my TM warthog stick with extension is not comparable. I only really wanted it for the F16 being that it has a short side stick. I have a CH flightstick for the F16 and that works really well. But would have been nice to try FFB. I shall sell this Logitech on eBay.
