Go beyond the boundary line and the TGP will be masked by the aircraft structure I believe.

Good post. Totally agree with your points. Welcome to DCS and the "two weeks" club buddy.

Correct.

well, I'm gonna butt in here with a question. If none of you guys know the answer hopefully Cobra reads it while he's having a laugh at the route this thread is taking! Will the F-14 release into early access with a virtual pilot/RIO visible in the cockpit? if not is one planned? This adds a heap of immersion to flying a DCS aircraft in VR, and so far in the videos I've seen there isn't one visible.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Constantly shifting from back seat while using the LANTIRN pod, to jumping into the front for a quick course correction then back to the RIO to tweak the LANTIRN again. May get a bit tedious after a while. I wonder if we can tell the AI pilot to turn right 30deg or left 45deg etc from the back seat, therefore on a target run up we can just stay in the back and operate the weapons while the AI driver (pilot :D) takes us in. Ah well, pointless speculating at this time, we will all find out in two weeks :D

The LANTIRN implementation is one thing about the F14 I'm really looking forward to. From the video a while back on one of Cobra's update threads, the level of detail the devs have put into it is simply astounding. Only thing I have a few concerns about is having to possibly constantly seat switch from front to back on the run up to and orbit of the target, flying while operating the LANTIRN pod at the same time and in the heat of combat! But I guess until we know more about the implementation of the controls and Jester we won't know for sure. Great work HB.

@moonshot….. Blimey! :shocking:

You can actually do this in VR. Makes taxying much easier and adds a lot to the immersion. Unfortunately at the moment with this on-going canopy bug you can still see the canopy Perspex in place even when it's open and you put your head through it to see out the side of the cockpit in VR. It totally kills the immersion.

Can you please post how you do it? This canopy bug is irritating to say the least in VR, total immersion killer. I'm the OP on this thread and I just checked the start date, 6th July last year! Blimey....

Rumour has it DCS World 3.0 is just around the corner :D

Great mod. Thanks for sharing it. Looks much better in VR.

Can confirm same issue here on Oculus, and on several different modules, although it seems to be update wide rather than just a VR issue which I thought was the case at first. Hope they find a fix soon.

That is a bug that appeared a while ago with a update on the 6th July (Hotfix 6), and has never been fixed :( https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=215130

+1 I haven't flown her in weeks. This canopy bug is an immersion killer in VR.

Anyone checked yet after todays patch 2.5.3.21444 to the open beta if it's still there?

Great job, and many thanks for sharing it. :thumbup:

Most looking forward to the AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR Targeting Pod with out a doubt for me.

Spitfire flies great for me. Only wish they would fix the canopy bug. It's been there since update 6 on the open beta and is a total immersion killer in VR. Otherwise she's a beautiful gal......

Still no change on todays Hotfix for Update 7. Canopy bug still there :(

Me too :( I even tried to copy the f18 control assignments from the release version to the open beta (the one in saved games) and this failed to work too.

I can confirm this issue still persists following update 7 to the open beta today. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3569644&postcount=18

Same here. I tried to copy the control assignments folder (the one in saved games) for the F18 from the release version to the beta and even this fails to work. Any idea why? Its a lot of work to start again, so I'm going to wait for any official word on this also.

Which driver version are you using now?

Anyone know if the Spitfire canopy bug or the F18 radar elevation was fixed in this patch or was it a direct carry over from the beta, bugs and all? The release version had neither bug, but the beta had both!. Wondering if the release has them now. I can't check as I have my GPU out of my rig atm waiting on a replacement to arrive.....

There is a master switch on the throttle quadrant that is turned on when you push the throttle forward, but you need to turn it off by clicking on it. This will turn off the u/c indication lights etc when you shutdown. I normally turn it off last on shutdown.
