Yep, still waiting for the P-47....good to see you to mate :)

Please poke away :)

Completely agree, it's a superb marketing tool too.

Is it a 'simple' act of including an Nvidia Ansel to the install by DCS? The possibilities for screenshots are incredible and include 61k output render and 360 VR output. From 3 minute mark: I just think that as this simulator is so good looking, having the ability to share VR imagery and huge poster size screenshots (to print) would be a great marketing tool for the software? Cheers, MP

All authentic skins. Fortunately Tom has redone them and posted a link :) http://www.****************/files/file/3111-dcs-tf-51p-51d-checkertail-skin-pack/

Digging this one up from the grave. Sadly these files are no longer available and Tom doesn't have them. Does anyone have this skinpack on their computer they could share please? Cheers, MP

Well I did fire up DCS today and it really was glorious to sit in the cockpit firstly of a jet and then the Spitfire. One issue I had was my position in the Spitfire cockpit. My eye level was looking straight at the mirror so was unable to look through the gunsight. Firing the guns was more just for fun as I really could barely make out the enemy (or, I had no clue where they were unless the labels were switched on). I do get what you are saying about Track IR in comparison to actually sitting in the environment, it is fantastic, but the resolution just isn't enough for me yet to give up the monitor. I use the DK2 as more of a wow this is cool rather than thinking I could be competitive with it..... especially spotting contacts. But for a flight around and experiencing what the future holds, damn it's good fun :) Cheers, MP

Ok, I should try DCS today and am looking forward to it. In regards to obsolete DK2, I (now it is working) am glad I persevered with it because it it really has made me see how much fun this really is. That said though, having read reports about CV1 being a reasonable upgrade to the DK2 I don't see myself investing £500+ on it BUT I do think when CV2 arrives I will invest as the experience, although a little grainy really makes me get why this is such a great big of kit. For the price I got DK2 (£125) I don't have any regrets and hopefully it's going to work later in DCS. All of this for me is just seeing if it would be an experience I would consider ahead of buying a GSync monitor. At the moment I'd rather go with a large 4K GSync monitor and enjoy what I can in DK2, but when CV2 arrives....I'll get it. This is great fun :) Oh and regarding old runtimes, couldn't find a link to them but will it make a difference if Oculus DK2 is not supported​ anymore? Anyway, it's great fun and worth the effort....But the first time I jumped in the air in "Lucky's Tale", blimey my stomach dropped. It was like being on a roller coaster...Took a few minutes for it to pass but I get the motion sickness reasoning. Still, not an issue and felt fine afterwards :) Cheers, MP

Okay. Good news :) I did manage to get to the Settings, general tab...switched on other sources and the bad boy is up and running. Sadly I can't use the debug tool kit so have no way of sharpening the image...but having just (forgive me) tested Project Cars.....it works and now I can't wait to get into the air :) (Just have to clean the lenses first! Thanks for the help guys. It's not perfect but it certainly is bloody cool! Cheers, MP

I am doing that now :) dburne. I didn't. I tried the Switcher software but on running the executable it didn't find the Oculus software :(

Ah, but that is where it's buggered unfortunately. In the setup I click through the screens. When I get to the screen where it says please plug in your headset and HDMI cable the sensor comes up with a green tick but the headset and HDMI have grey spinning circles because they are waiting to be connected. I cannot go past that screen by clicking next because it doesn't detect the headset or HDMI are connected unless I choose "Skip". If I choose Skip, Oculus lights up, the room (in goggles) opens up and I can look around in VR look at the library wall, etc, etc. It works. But I can't go to the options and choose Settings (to enable other sources) as it puts me into the setup screen.....So back in a loop :( Is there a way of editing a config file somewhere outside of the user interface at-least that way I may have a chance? So frustrating that it actually works but the setup doesn't detect the cables are connected :( Cheers, MP

Well, I did get it to work...sort of :( Nothing changed, all I did was when I got to the place where it asks you to plug the USB Headset connection in and HDMI, I chose 'Skip'. It then booted in the headset and I had the default room with log burning fire.....and a great big message "DK2 is not supported in the Oculus Store or Library" I did download "Lucky's Tale" and the 3D scale is really impressive and very enjoyable. I also have Project Cars inmy Steam Library, booted it, but Oculus says I'm trying to access it on an unknown device....so I can't try anything like DCS, PCars or anything unless I am strongarmed into purchasing a CV1 and to be honest I just can't do that as the reason for buying a DK2 was to see if I suffered from motion sickness. I can't invest over £500 on the off-chance I'll be okay :( Anyway, it sort of works but at the moment all I can play is Lucky's Tale :) Oh well! Thanks for the feedback guys, cheers, MP

Hi Chivas, yes I remember very well your great offer :) This is more just because I want to give it a try, just to see how I cope with it and if I can move forward with it. Currently...totally spannered! lol

Hi Mule, sadly one of the first, second, third and fourth things I tried :( :ranting:

"advanced computer settings find,oculus USB and HDMI Cable" is that power saving mode? Interesting on the USB 2 suggestion as it says on the setup to plug it into a USB 3.0, but he'll, I am running out of options so will give it a try :) Is it possible to find older SDK's or drivers? Is that worth a shot if this doesn't work? Cheers, MP

Lol, thanks for the advice. I had the monitor plugged into the DV-I port and then plugged the Oculus to each HDMI port. No joy. I then unplugged the Monitor....But couldn't view anything to see if the Oculus was detected! I then plugged the DV-I to HDMI connector in and plugged the Oculus into it and attached a video monitor to the HDMI to see if You'd was detected. Still nothing. HDMI's work fine, DV-I works fine. Oculus doesn't see the HDMI :(

Well I have had a merry dance with this bloody OR and to be honest I'm tempted to just send it back to the seller. I bought an new (yes it is new) OR DK2 as I just wanted to see if it was something I could enjoy and if so, maybe go all out for a CV1. My thoughts and feelings are it would be bloody great to actually be able to try it, so-far, not a hope in hell I went to the Oculus website, downloaded OculusSetup.exe and off I went. 1.5Gb of download later it starts to install. Plug in Sensor - Green tick Plug in Headset and HDMI - Rotating grey circle. Aha, I'll try a different USB....nope, another, nope, another, nope. Try a different HDMI port, nope. Reads internet. Uninstall Oculus, uninstall Nvidia drivers, reinstall Nvidia, reinstall Oculus - Nope Test HDMI works fine, both ports Connect Oculus...nope. Computer Asuz Z170 Deluxe Mobo, Intel 6700K @stock speed, ASUS Strix ROG OC 1070 GTX, G-Skill 16Gb Ram Any, any, any help appreciated or it goes back. So frustrated but willing to hang onto a possibility someone may know how to get it to work. BTW, when I connected the HDMI connector the light on the headset went from Yellow to Blue (nothing on screen in headset) Fed up. Cheers, MP

Google translate: Posted by: Originally Maler View Post Strangely all this of course. People have long wait for the P-47 Mustang and here again. And the right to it has brought some variety (as if such modification C), so IMHO it all just called and will fly. And that's fuel choice, really cool. I hope and a separate option will be charging extra. mv-50 tanks \ gasoline. That would be more choice of skins from the menu ... With the P-47 is the delay and how much - is unclear. Unfortunately, you can not find the most basic data from which to start our planes. Doing "something" in order "to make it" and say that this is the same plane - ugly and unfair, yet Flying Legends bracket set high enough. Anticipating possible questions: the man who announced the P-47 on Kickstarter or with no one consulted on this subject. the PS a fault on a high-octane gasoline candles all ready? And that the loss overheated motor speed will be even faster, too?

I think for what it's worth if this was to be a consideration then it would be worthwhile the devs. creating a couple of tanks and having a dedicated server JUST for tanks. Then, if successful there may be possible moves to integrate them into a battlefield environment with aircraft too. First thing to see though would be how the net traffic handles tanks in multi-tank environment with effects and then if proven, move to inclusion in DCS with aircraft?

Got to say...that was a tough video to make....but seeing it turning up nearly 10-years later....makes me so happy :) Cheers, MP

Just give us a WW2 P-51 visual model (which is required for the new WW2 Europe expansion), so remove the twin antenna to a single one behind the canopy, remove the antenna under the front cowling and remove the squiggly antenna in the tail. Job done. Cheers, MP

Actually if you want to speak to someone who was involved in modelling WW2 rolling stock, Foobar he did some amazing work. http://fooblog.mexxoft.com/ http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/user/113-foobar/

It would be great to have a 2015 update stickied to include news that is mentioned in multiple threads (like the few aircraft updates) but also to include some news on what is actually happening? Seems a shame that with the interest there is in this and for those involved in the Kickstarter...even a quarterly update of new WiP for this project, not just the aircraft, would be really appreciated. Cheers, MP
