  1. Anyone here using Dell Visor? I suddenly can't see DCS window anymore in my headset, although it renders totally fine in VR mode on my PC screen... o_O Instead, I see the WMR Portal inside of my VR headset, with a gamepad icon

    That E Bracket? You'd put the flight path marker in the crotch of the ship, but otherwise...

    Thanks!!! By flight path marker you mean velocity vector? Because the guide (Chucks) says that the aircraft reticle should move into the E-Bracket, not the velocity vector.

    Also interesting: DCS' default view-setting in the Tomcat is in the way that you will loose sight of the velocity vector when E-Bracket and reticle meet, it will vanish behind this thing (screenshot below), if you don't change the default view to a higher position. 😆 Wouldn't it make sense to change the default view position then?

    That´s why when you´re in the groove you align the E-Bracket with the "Crotch" (right side of the runway end) for compensate the runway always drifting to the right due to the boat movent.

    Doesn't the F-14 lack the E-Bracket, doesn't only the Hornet have that?

    i.e. from 9-ish degrees left of BRC.

    Is BRC the carrier's heading or the heading of the landing-runway on the deck?

     

    And I recently realized that for a perfect carrier recovery without any sideslipping, a slight wind would have to come from 90° to the left of the landing-runway on the deck, that way the wind continuously pushes your jet slightly sideways so that you perfectly stay on glideslope. I guess the danger of that would be if there is a gust, it could slam your jet into the "island", making it a very VERY bad day for the ~5000 soldiers on board...

    Carrier operations are not (typically) conducted with crosswinds. 

    Interesting... But then the real pilots would have to be at a constant roll angle if they want to stay aligned with the slightly-sideways-moving deck with a headwind instead of slight crosswind... simple physics really.

    Has Heatblur already asked ED to add their Supercarrier deck-crew code to the Forrestal (for Supercarrier-owners)? 🙂 (Since the Forrestal would be even more immersive with a moving deck-crew)

    Here we are nearly 2 years later, still no reply by Heatblur on this....... 😒

     

    And STILL no "easy crosswind" instant action mission that I suggested nearly 2 years ago here in UTMOST detail...

  6. See trackfile. Issue also appears in multiplayer and caused me to lose my Avenger unit against another player... 😖 Internet sources list effective range at ~ 1800 meters, so please make aimpoint appear up to that range. Also, aimpoint disappears when aimpoint appears far away from target (if target has high speed), and then aiming at aimpoint causes lock to disappear and aimpoint to disappear... please allow locking targets with "enter" key to fix this.
