So I was playing msn 3, Requested takeoff countless times waiting on the taxy side A hold short line (the runway boundary line) and red lights. Al Minhad ATC would not give me clearance for TO until I crossed it and requested clearance again, at which point Tower answered and gave me clearance. In my understanding (at least when I trained for my PPL) you ask and wait clearance before crossing the line, not afterwards as, once you cross, you are on the runway already and you need clearance to do that. Seems to me like a script/trigger issue, but it ate 4 of my minutes while I was sitting there trying to figure out why Tower would suddenly stop responding to me.

Thanks for the answer, yeah that kind of helps, the only commands that I ever saw available are about formation flying... I still can't seem to be able to order my n.2 to strike or do anything else. Will try again later. Yes, UHF is set on preset 2 (or freq 260, but usually I do presets...)

Doesn't start on my system. All I get is this Any idea? EDIT: This is with 4.1.1, 4.1.0 seems to be working as advertised.

Since we're talking about wingmen, I'm in mission 2 and I see no way to order my wingman to do something other than draw attention/missiles/AAA... There's no option in the F10 menu, nor he responds to my "normal" radio commands (e.g. "Wingman"->"engage"->"Air Defense"). Am I doing something wrong or is the wingman in miss. 2 just for show? Leaving aside the fact that I got shot down by manpads twice while I was trying to understand why he doesn't acknoledge orders... (in VR) You think one should learn the first time.

It did. Just completed the mission on the first pass (although Tron 52 and 53 stayed back IVO the carrier...)

OB

IDK maybe, doesn't seem like a disk access issue to me and it happens only in VR...

Mission 2: CAS. Not a big deal, can be edited with mission editor. The issue that I cannot hit anything, even with fine weather, with CBU-99 is on me tho.

A Fix was in today's changelog. Just re-played it. Nope, still a foggy mess...

Same issue here. I fly alone with Tron and get butchered on the way or while egressing.

I am on the nth play of mixxion 14. There's no joy ever. All Anvil flights disappear after a while. Or they don't even take off. SEAD, sometimes I have observed them, some others they were AWOL. The only flight that is always there is the one E3B + 2 hornets (can't remember their c/s). But usually I get to the drop ALONE, and in the last iteration, I dropped and egressed only to be made happy-from-behind by an F5 with guns. BD, I loved your previous works but R1 has given me only grief, honestly. Briefings are too long, I'm supposed to read a book I couldn't care less about, and there's plenty of bugs in scripts, which I understand might be due to changes in the sim since you programmed the campaign to now, so not much to do about that. Sorry, digressing and I don't think you need my feedback. I'll try the mission again, and will try to save the track, I'll let you know as I'm done.

What are the "custom launch scripts" and how can those be used?

A little more organized information here on exactly what/how I have done it.

Seems the solution was twofold: 1) Re-enable SteamVR as OpenVR Renderer (it's in settings->developer) 2) Start DCS via the "VR ON" button on Skatezilla's DCS GUI config utility, that worked. I can now use VRNeckSafer and the OpenVR AMD FSR "hack", so I can be a happy man. I think I will still end up playing in native Oculus API, but it's nice to have choices.

I have this same issue and cannot for the life of me seem to find a solution. DCS would not launch in SteamVR even if I select the SteamVR API in the DCS Updater GUI... Any ideas? EDIT: Starting DCS by selecting SteamVR API and with the "VR ON" button worked in loading it in SteamVR. Go figure.

Same here. Haven't found a reason yet.

I am trying to get DCS to start in SteamVR mode (I'm running a Rift S) but find it extremely difficult to. It ALWAYS starts with the Oculus API, even if I select the SteamVR API in Skatezilla's... Any ideas?

I came here for this very reason. I find it increasingly difficult to deal with the spamming of skins on the user files download section...

You ever seen this? Wake Turbulence Visualization - YouTube Also, speaking of IRL, I had it once when flying towards the Malverns, in UK, in a R22. That was orographic lift+the associated turbulence, sufficient to make me s**t myself right there and deviated from course... OR an EC135 that for some reason decided to fly 100ft above me when I was training sloped terrain landings and hover handling. The downwash felt like a big hammer hit the whole airframe but the R22 stayed afloat... So yeah it's there but in my limited experience it is more scary than anything else. OFC severe turbulence can rip off wings and the like but... IDK, the way it's modeled in DCS seems overboard to me.

You can disable wake turbulence in the game options, you know... I also think it's over-modeled a bit but who knows? I've never been up there in a fighter jet so I have no idea if it would be tossed around so easily.

Yeah same here, it is usually stuff that's far on the horizon that gets rendered on one panel only, probably due to differences in calculation about the distance the said object should disappear between an eye and the other. IDK if it has to do with DCS or the VR reprojection, although observing the same on a Rift S Iàd be keen to think it's a VR implementation problem, not a platform-specific issue. This said, I don't really find the thing that annoying.

I had a similar issue and cursed way too much before discovering that VAICOM doesn't play well with the NS430 GPS module. Disabled the 430, no more issues.

I have to second that. I'm fully left handed, left eye dominance, left footed etc. Still no issues using right hand joy and left hand throttle. Ontop, if you can spare the cash for a good setup (Thrustmaster Warthog as a minimum but think VKB or VIRPIL) you'll get used to it, if anything because you will want to commit on the investment (and the hardware is well worth it, if you are a "frequent flyer").

is this something that can be potentially fixed from users? I know, it's probably going to break IC and all that, but as a stop gap while ED recognizes the issue and fixes it, especially for single player, it would be nice! Anyway, I was playing around with the Huey yesterday when I noticed my miniguns weren't doing s$$t to enemy infantry... BUT on the other hand, I received more than one bullet in the airframe and kept flying like it was nothing so the nerf must have been on all small caliber weapons?

That sucks... you sure your preferences have not been messed up somehow? tried renaming them? or the folder, for what matters.
