It says “release date September 1st”. So I’m assuming that’s the ship date.

Just ordered the TPR pedals. I didn’t even know they were in the pipe till after I started this thread...

I would own at least 3. A-10, F-18, and UH-1H.

Thanks for that. I was really hopeful they would be as good as you say they are.

Oh, that’s a Cybersniper keyboard. Best gaming pad I’ve used.

When Facebook bought Oculus I knew I would never own a Rift. I want nothing to do with that company.

It’s a multi gesture touchpad. 1 finger is left mouse button, 2 is right, and 3 is middle. I can manipulate every switch, button, and dial in the cockpit with it.

You could do something like this. It required 2 chairs. The landfill usually has several office chars that you can piece together into something useful. EDIT: It’s pretty busy because I fly in VR and everything has to be close at hand and accessible without being able to see any of it.

Really looking forward to your assessment. I put one in my cart on Amazon but am waiting to hear if they are worth the $500 asking price. If it's as good as their Wartog then it will be worth it.

Can't tell if you are being serious or not? :huh:

That's a shame. If it had the same pixel per degree as the Odyssey I was ready to buy. But at worse that the original Vive is a BIG step backwards. I love the minimum PC requirements to drive it. We're going to have to wait for a couple of GPU cycles to see any real bump in a PPD/FOV increases.

This is great. Now we just need a bunch of new Thrustmaster gear to hit the market to go with our Warthogs and MFDs.

I found it hard to ground spot on a 4K TV. If it's a radar threat I will do a mark point triangulation. If its a manpad I'll make him fire on me and watch for the launch origin. Tanks and such I watch for tracers. The cool thing about VR is if you can see it, you can evade it.

I found that setting both the Odyssey’s and in-game IPD to my actual IPD made for a true-to-life sized cockpit.

I found that by taking off the headset and Alt+Tab to DCS, Then Alt+Enter to stretch the view to full screen went a long way to help this issue. I also added another 16Gb of ram which made the issue all but non-existent.

Because I set a fixed level of 1.4 SS in-game. That way I can turn up some other settings that are more important; without having the fidelity of the view constantly changing as the resolution is dynamically changed.

In the Steam VR settings ther is a dynamic resolution setting that is set to automatic by default. Change it to manual and pick 100% on the slider. Go into the Nvidia control panel and set the quality setting to performance. Try that. I get a steady 45 FPS with some fairly high settings.

Went from 3 40” TVs, a touchscreen gauge/Helios monitor, and head tracking to a Samsung Odyssey. No comparison. I wouldn’t recommend the lower resolution of the Rift or Vive though if you want to be able to spot bogies and read the gauges.

Maybe it’s your head. I’ve had my nose broken a couple of times so it curves back on itself (used to think competitive kickboxing was “fun”). It feels like the HMD is twisted to the left on my nose but it is in alignment with my eyes.

I thought that DCS had moved to multi core with 2.5.

I don’t have full screen selected in game but I lift up the headset once I’m in the game and do Alt+Tab to DCS and then Alt+Enter to make it go full screen. This keeps the mouse focus in the game. Also, I lose mouse function after scrolling because my scroll wheel is also my middle mous button. So I have to double click the middle mouse button to get the mouse cursor back.

Just WOW!

It was my understanding that Leap Motion wasn’t ready for prime time yet. Has that changed? Because gloveless would be cool. They’re also making advancements with the Kinect2. We may have several offerings to choose from...

Put an AIO water cooler on it if you plan to OC. Ther are a couple of forums you should visit to get some help. Overlock.net and overclockers.com. There are some great noob guides and everyone is very helpful.

You have to have a room with stuff on the walls or furniture, and it has to be fairly well lit. Just bare walls or with a repeating pattern wall paper won’t do. I think that is why some people have issues.
