Please update the default F-16 loadouts to use the tracers for guns. The default is no tracers. Thanks!

maybe they had to add this due to the terrible font and font spacing in the F-16 release.... couple that with the dim display, I find it hard to read without zooming in :( . (And I'm in a Reverb!!!)

First off, I use VR, and it's a Reverb, so normally everything is rather easy to read, ie. no issues with the Hornet MFD's. However, the F-16 has two major issues: 1. The font spacing - ie. radar lock - there is no font spacing. This makes it extremely difficult to read - as well as the font size is very very small. I have to zoom in just to see these basic radar numbers. 2. The MFD's are very dim, so on top of the terrible font size and spacing, the dimmest adds to the difficulty reading the MFDS. I beg of ED to please address this. One of the items I was most looking forward to was the better contrast compared to hornet, but with this being so tiny and unreadable it's worse. I literally woke up with a headache after using it last night for a few hours.

How will completing the Viper and Hornet systems allow you to do a high fidelity F-15C next ? ;)

Initial setup requires some steps after that you are good to go - this link should help https://vr4dcs.com/2019/08/19/preflighting-wmr-steamvr-for-dcs/

I'd probably go two routes for this: Scenario one: F-14, Mig, Su27/33, Ja , Mirage, Viggen, Su25 F-18, F-15, F-16, A-10 Scenario two 'Airforce vs. Navy' F-14, F-18, Mig, Su27/33, Ja, Viggen, Su25, F-15, F-16, Mirage, A-10

Options are very limited is some of the reason why. 1. I'd say quite a few people don't want to spend their allocated free time sitting there refueling. There isn't anything 'realistic' about that imo. 2. Servers don't do a very good job explaining the mission objectives and DCS doesn't help much either with it. ie. it wasn't until 104th added Tacview that I could later get a better sense of the mission. No one in real life just takes off into a complete fog of war. (Kudos to 104th for adding Tacview). 3. Lack of consistent comms. Nearly every server promotes SRS but then you go fly in their war (ie. DDCS) and you find out there are 30 people in Discord comms with no one on SRS. Others promote SRS but then they are all hanging out in Teamspeak. It's really a shame ED hasn't integrated SRS directly into the game to make it more accessible to people. Until servers shut off the alternative comms then people won't bother with SRS. 4. Provide downloadable kneeboards and better briefings, turn off the F10 maps. Another area I think ED could improve on - let server admins provide some server specific kneeboard maps. That all said there is a positive about some of the servers being more open and available. I think Just Dogfight for example provides a niche environment where it's not about just slinging Fox3's all over the place. Growling Sidewinder's popularity I believe is that it shows many people want to get up and fly and not need to make it more than that - they keep it rather simple.

As a huge fan of the Just Dogfight server I ask that we turn off the ability to use labels. Once I found out others are using labels it really completely ruined the experience for me.

Unfortunately not IC compliant

What res and FOV is the Xtal - seems how you describe visuals is very similar to what I see in Reverb minus a wider FOV.

Yes this bug was introduced a few patches ago

Question on this.... is an extension needed with the WarBRD base ?

Unfortunately, for me it's out of consideration since you can get a Reverb with higher resolution at same price. If Cosmos had Reverb resolution it would be the best headset on the market by far! (2160x2160 vs. 1440 x 1700) But it's a step in the right direction in terms of how it has inside out tracking as well as supports external sensors if desired. I was hoping more units would have this option - those that want that better tracking vs. guys like me that just use it for simulators and don't need external sensors. I'd probably get a Cosmos over an Index - would like though to see someone review it with DCS in mind.

very sad to hear this.

When I sent back my consumer Reverb, they decided they don't do repairs and replaced it with the Pro. I'd get the Pro to make this easier in future. I did actually like the cloth vs. leather but it's not a big deal

anyone using this with stick center mounted and extension ?

How would I go around binding the page up to my TM stick ?

I am getting wierd artifacts when zooming in and moving my head - like a dark blue shadow - and the water looks odd

Agree, we shouldn't need solutions like this, https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=89226 where it takes a software engineering ability to code solution. Simple things like using 3 way switches . I shouldn't need TARGET to setup DCS...

Some servers want to use popup messages that take up much of the view in VR. Would be good to provide a way for VR users to control these messages. Some options include: 1. control the size and location 2. disable completely 3. provide a 'dismiss' key binding

+1

Just to confirm, as I want to set this up for some bindings in the F-15, if I make the changes in the 'saved games' input then it won't get overwritten in a patch correct ?

good catch, hard to keep up. Here is a good summary: https://vr4dcs.com/2019/08/28/vr-hmd-specs-compare-2/

Will it work in a similar way that the Hornet does do we know ?
