  1. You can choose between steamVR and openXR by forcing it in a shortcut.

    1. Create a shortcut of DCS.exe
    2. Right click the shortcut and select properties
    3. In the target field add:  --force_OpenXR  or:  --force_steam_VR

    example: "D:\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe" --force_OpenXR

    Something else. If your VRsession freezes and you use openXR toolkit. It probably is because you enabled "turbo mode". Then reset openXR toolkit.

    1. Open openXR toolkit and select "enable safe mode" Then start DCS
    2. In DCS you can enter the openXR toolkit menu and in the last header-option select reset settings to default and confirm.

    DCS-OPenXR and "turbo mode" seems to be an issue. DCS-Opencomposite might work with "turbo mode"

    Hope it helps,

    ps (I do recognize the slight frustration that its not easy to find anything fast on the intewebs. Cheers)

  2. Hi,

     

     

    I reinstalled DCS 2.5.xx and airplanes (after a few years absence) and noticed in the editor that there are two default L39-za skins: desert splinter camo and woodland splinter camo.

     

    Does everyone have those custom skins or is that because I used to have them in the past?

     

     

    .

  3. Please dont wait with anything if your father is 90. Immediately buy the plane. It works great is easy to fly and has a nice cockpit layout. You both love it.

     

    And the P51 is also a fantastic aircraft to fly around with and as the Albatros gives a good free look because of the bubble canopies. By the way, torque is easy to counter with trim.

     

    Cheers

  4. @ Bignewy (since you are actively moderating this thread)

     

    We are an interested crowd and like to have the feeling we remotely take part by sharing our experience. That's the joy and adventure of a public alpha/beta (in this case NTTR).

     

    It is nice to get a reaction every once in a while or some motivation why the NTTR map changes when it does. Obviously some LOD adjustments are in development, every week a new thread pops up about it and stays unanswered. And after a while it gets blurred by aspecific performance issues or non related chitchat. Then a week later a new thread pops up.

     

    To be specific 2 questions.

    1. Will the texture level of the NTTR terrain return to its original higher quality?

    2. Is anything changed with the ingame visibility range setting?

     

     

     

     

    Thanks.

  5. Just a tiny bit late, out of nothing and updates are nice.. (and nobody is hurt if you skip it a month in 2017)

    I want VEAO commercially to be sucsesfull beyond 2017, the Spitfire (and the Harrier would have) fit the curriculum. I hope the Typhoon kicks bud this year and they register the Lancaster for DCS.

     

     

     

    Happy new year to the VEAO team

    :yay:

  6. I doubt this functionality happens in any form. One skin in .zip is easy 15mb for DCS. I fly multiplayer with prefered custom paint themes and just overwrite the files of a default existing skin or i use the "mklink windows command" to redirect to my prefered skin. (This works local, not as you suggested)

     

    I would be happy if "$WRITE_DIR" in autoexec.cfg would work for custom skins as it does with custom sounds. And maybe it is possible but then only c0ff knows. (I still have to ask...)

     

    But I like your idea and enjoyed MP freeflight skin show-offs in IL2.

     

     

     

    :)

  7. With regards to the titel: Mission design under valued by ED?

     

    I understand the importance of the 2.5 release and not doing all kind of script engine alterations while in this process.

     

    I like the open structure of the script engine and I think .lua is not that difficult if you have any knowlege of programming language principles. So it's doable and rewarding to make missions for DCS. But all kind of minor and bigger script functions broke since 2015? Many got repaired, although it was never 100% clear when or if they where repaired (even if you think I exaggerate, you understand what I mean) That made me loose motivation to make anything with .lua.

     

    Furthermore I noticed something I don't particularly like in the file structure of new map(s). The static objects or vehicles are not usable anymore. So no more freedom in making stories as envisioned with those nice new items in NTTR.

     

    But as I understand 2.5 will tell if ED likes there misssion designer community. Then new objects will be usable and script functions can be used as if it where 2014.

  8. L-39C Monochrome

     

    1Screen_L39c.jpg

     

    2Screen_L39c.jpg

     

    3Screen_L39c.jpg

     

    Inspired by the feather deck of the Albatros bird.

     

    ..and so it became this monochrome paint theme for the L-39C. To make it interesting I created a digital pattern expanding in all directions to wrap around the mesh with attention to detail and specular lighting to give the paint depth. This theme is available for all countries.

    If you create a shortcut to your desktop of dcs_updater.exe

    then right click it go to properties and add the word: repair

     

    Then target would look something like:

    ..\DCS beta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" repair

     

    apply and double click the shortcut.

    then update will do a repair

     

    oops te word in target should be: repair.....

     

     

    :santa:

  10. If your older then 1100 earth years

     

    You will admire the wisdom, enthousiasm and depressions of all ages. Much is pointless, but that does not matter if you develop yourself and try to be reasonably content. Just take care of others who live too.

     

    So youthfull bunch below a 100 years. Age does not matter at all, freedom does.

  11. L-39ZA splinter camouflage

     

    desert_front.jpg

     

    woodland_side.jpg

     

    I like this beautiful airplane , it is friendly to handle and has limitations that gives it character. To compliment the model I made "splinter camouflage" skins, a modern agressive look that blend well in the environment.

     

    The download has a desert- and a woodland version. It is made with attention to weathering and decal details. The paint themes are available for all countries.

  12. Recovery from an acquired brain injury is a case specific proces. It is a good sign you are posting already! Be kind to yourself, stay positive and have a healthy life.

  13. Hi 1Wolf,

     

    1.5 and 2.0 are separate intalls but will be merged in a later stage. You can install all your planes in both installs {no need to deactivate) Reason why, because it is nice to switch aircraft when you want to and you have them.

    Both maps are different and fun to fly, especially in MP.

     

    Enjoy!
