Ramstein

I was lucky enough to have a real pilot who flew Hellcats and the Panther teach me how to fly... he flew flight sims after he retired. he is gone now.. I am a Veteran myself, but didn't fly myself, but got to be in lots of aircraft on active duty. I met a guy who flew the WWII Corsairs in Korea during that war. Chatted quit a while. I met another vet who flew the P-40 Flying Tigers. He met and knew some of the most famous pilots. Got to chat a few hours. While I fly active campaigns in DCS and IL-2, more great flight sims are really good. Bot the Corsair and Hellcat has my interest in the WWII Theater. Right now I just have the P-51. In VR of course. Adding more birds is costing some $$$$. Still need a new Video card. Hmmm.. al this money into house... or computer..... wife says house... Ooops, forgot about a guy whole flew B24 missions to hit the oil fields at Ploesti Romania, all the way from North Africa ground level. He said the bomb doors had an issue and it was a very cold flight...

you have 2 wishes left

I am having some issues with Laser and CCRP with Jtac. I tried the training mission with CCRP to see what I need to relearn. For the life of me, I cannot bombs to release in the training mission. UI also wish the training mission would let me fast forward so I don't have to repeat everything everytime I start the training missions. I setup two targets with a JTAC on each one, almost identical. Except for location and the radio code. Same Setup exactly in the setup of Jtac, same aircraft, same bombs. LGBU-12's hard to get to follow laser. LGBU-24's worked a bunch easier to follow the laser to target. The fall line thing must be my issue, I really hope it is. Will try soon again.

ride a dirtbike in the desert and you will find out... other than that...

I went somewhere came home, and the damned MS software said it updated.. and guess, what, the Oculus had been messed with without my permission because the Meta screen was up and I always have to unplug the headset and plug it back in when Meta messes (((** with it!!))) with it... I have not checked to see if they screwed over my working fix...

LIke Boeing,,,

here too and instructions

in the virtual reality section there are threads about the cause of this with some workarounds that may work. You might have to dig for the info.

Thank you and I am sorry for one that gripes.. I am not a coder, but worked for a while in Aerospace and electronics engineering.. I didn't continue with the software side... many, many, moons ago.. but I do questions the software. I am curious if there is a way to write in the code so it is not so dependent on individual updates for peripheral devices. Even with the legal agreements with the 3rd parties. Or a separate patch category for devices. No answer needed, just some thoughts.

I went through replacing those Oculus from the Reddit DCS thread. it works, but I went though hours of HELL I will never get back. Stop the Oculus services, then replace with the previous versions /Oculus/Support/.... that were saved by someone who set them up for download. Not their fault, but we had 3 power outages while I was working on this! On stand by my comments online in several forums on how much I hate Meta, Oculus,, etc..etc... I am not a child, but a dream would be a Meta Oculus Hate fanclub page on the Internet...

I think I moved on,,, and need to look at more videos and the manual... to sperate the visual cam from the IR. I haven't been flying the F-15E much lately and am coming back to find and fix the issues I have with the pods, right now my Flares and Chaff are not working... I will visit my TGP pod issues again soon. I think my thoughts were about seeing targets clearly with the pod.

depends how you spell it

here we go Winter

IRL, brakes were <profanity>ty.... fuel tanks developed leaks easily... very thirsty... often lost ordnance from bad or worn parts... misfiring sidewinders ... but the good, very dependable engines.. very little high issues... faster than a ...mofo. Very few flap issues.. carries a lot of heavy weapons.. almost always brought crew home. Before the F models. These are what I remember from active duty flight line.

They did in Iraq on live TV!

rubber plantation ... LOL

The F-111 was active those days to launch the bigger stuff and to get in and out very fast..

in helos in sims it is even worse the lack of the speed sensation. The cues we use, sound and visual, are sort of like being in a fast car. if the car is not made for speed and feels like junk and handles poorly at high speed it feels like you are going very fast. If you are in a car that handles very wells and smooth it feels slower. other visual cues are other objects for relativity. each aircraft is different. In the future it will probably improve with tech. But it is just one of those things that varies with each person, aircraft and computer. A long time ago, 60 years ago? Disneyland had a ride 'Rocketship to the moon..." I believe it was named. It was a movie but with sound and a large curved screen. The seat deflated which simulated +G Forces, and inflated for -G forces. You didn't hear the air in the seat at all. Just a thought...

I can get a 40 to 80 fps.... in vr,, that's not the issue, I said that the controls in the switch from a-g to a-a modes, the radar screen loses the ability to be control once ina while, like some key press causes causes radar controls to jam and not be fixable without getting another aircraft.

once in a while cannot switch back from A-G to A-A and use the A-A radar. I start out with both a-a load and a-g load outs. I make a run with the A-G weapons and switch to A-A. The controls and settings refuse to let me get the A-A radar up and running properly with being able to setup any A-A mode and cannot move any cursor. The A-G modes still function properly. This has been going on since release of the F-15E. I know of others that also get locked out of settings. I cannot find what key or key binding jacks it up. Anyone else?

I got mine with the F-15E going pretty good, my issue is my old video card... in VR it really needs a lot of computer power. I posted a writeup recently of settings I use. I can try and find it and point others to it, if they have Oculus VR.

Thank you I think this fixed it, I hate Meta FB, Oculus, all made and updated by Baboons on drugs

my log file DCS refuses to run and crashes starting this morning at midnight. I see that someone figured out is was the VR fools at FB, Meta who frakked us all, they caused this Fiasco! I hope no one ever buys their products! I wish I had not. Sorry for posting in here thinking DCS was the cause... dcs.log

Game crashing on start: started at 12:00 am Pacific time, smashing head on wall since digging through computer. With or without my VR, I flew a few hours thursday night without issues. Then 12 am 02-16-2024 Kablooey!
