Open Beta Install? Multi-Threading?
CrackerJack replied to CrackerJack's topic in DCS World Tutorial & Help Requests
Thanks for the info. I just did the install and there are 2 shortcuts on the desktop - DCS World and DCS World MT. I thought that there was no single thread anymore? Thanks -
Where was the other folder you found? Thanks

Open Beta Install? Multi-Threading?
CrackerJack posted a topic in DCS World Tutorial & Help Requests
I've been away from DCS for about a year and want to install on a new PC. In the past I ran the Open Beta version. On the DCS World download page I don't see Open Beta, is it still available? There was also a multi-threading version available if I remember correctly? -
OpenXR Guide - Deprecated - This time for real (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)

UPDATE After going through a several different scenarios I'm pretty sure its an issue caused by Necksafer. Even when I launch NeckSafer after DCS has started I still get the upside down and 180deg rotated image in VR. If I go into Necksafer and use the deactivate layer option and then run DCS its fine. I'm going to try and uninstall and re-install and see if this fixes the issue. I reported the issue on the Necksafer Discord and apparently offers are having the same issue. -

With the release of ver 1.2.4 of OpenXR Toolkit I decided to give Turbo Mode a try. After I activated Turbo Mode and restarted the image in the headset is upside down and rotated 180 deg. I haven't been able to access the Toolkit menu to disable Turbo Mode. If disable Toolkit using the checkbox provided in the app the image is orientated correctly when I return to DCS. I had previously tried unchecking DCS World in the Toolkit app list but that didn't do anything. 1 - I realize Turbo Mode is experimental but is there away to correct the image orientation in VR? Anyone else have this happen? 2 - Is there away to clear/reset the Toolkit settings for DCS World so that I can access it again? Thanks for your help! -
First time user looking for some help to resolve an issue. I've installed Beta5a, DCS OpenBeta Standalone, HP Reverb G2. I was able to setup manual rotation buttons but when I'm in DCS and I engage NS the view rotates but there is a wide vertical black stripe in the middle of the view. I also tried the autorotation smooth and same issue - large black vertical stripe. As per install instructions I verified that NS is included in the XR API Layer list. Any ideas on how to go about fixing the issue? Thanks

Just tried mission 4 last night and had a question regarding the 9 line info passed from Axeman. Here is one example of a 9 line provided by Axeman: Offset 007 900 1995 infantry KN 695 589 no mark 275 south egress west Why is line 1 Initial Point missing? The offset 007, and distance 900 are supposed to relative to the IP? I don't have a lot of experience with JTAC so I'm probably missing something? In any case great campaign so far, the most fun I've had in DCS for a long time.

A-10C II Iron Flag campaign demo mission
CrackerJack replied to baltic_dragon's topic in Baltic Dragon
Gave this a go last night. Very well done! I thought the production was top-notch. It would appear to me that during the startup sequence there is no check in the background to confirm if the checklist item is correctly set. Is this correct? I look forward to the release of the full mission set. Is there an ETA on that? -
I have a few questions re the kneeboard. 1 - LOG Page - No matter what I try I can not get the LOG page to display I've tried "Show Log" and "Log Page". I hear a beep but the view never changes to the LOG page? 2 - What is the LOG page supposed to display? I've read the manual on the Kneeboard and there is no description of the function of the LOG page. 3 - I noticed at the bottom left hand corner sometimes the word PIN is displayed along with a left and right arrow. Since I fly in VR it takes some messing around with the mouse to get this to appear. The left/right switch page but what is PIN supposed to do? Thanks in advance for your help!

Anyone using OVR Toolkit? I heard that there were issues with DCS - specifically window focus, mouse function. I imagine its also a hit on the FPS?

I've been looking for, but haven't been able to find, a list of all the ordnance that the A10C II can carry. I'd like to have something that summarized the options and included range, target types, guidance mode, etc. Thanks
