OpenXR Guide - Deprecated - This time for real (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)
CrackerJack replied to nikoel's topic in Virtual Reality
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. -
OpenXR Guide - Deprecated - This time for real (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)
CrackerJack replied to nikoel's topic in Virtual Reality
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

Solution to mouse issues ( window out of focus etc)
CrackerJack replied to markturner1960's topic in Virtual Reality
Where can I find this setting? Thanks -
That fixed it! Thanks for the help!

I'm hoping someone can help with sorting out this issue. I have a shortcut on my desktop to DCS OpenBeta. As soon as I launch WMR the DCS shortcut disappears!! What is odd is the DCS shortcut for the release version of DCS does not disappear. The only difference is that I have VR enabled for Open Beta in the DCS settings. Any ideas??? Thanks EDIT - I found a workaround I pinned the DCS OpenBeta shortcut to my taskbar and it does not disappear when I open WMR. Still be curious if others have had this issue?

I have some Bonus Points which expire June 1/2020. How do I know what products I can apply them to? Thanks

I'm new to the P51. Just tried a "Create Fast Mission" and I was surprised to see the Red Force populated with Migs and SAMs! This seems to be the case even on the Normandy map. I guess this isn't news to the veteran users. Is there something I'm missing, I used this option with the A10C it would have been nice to have it available for the P51.

Just got VAICOM installed. The issue I'm having is that all of the commands are repeated even though I only voice the command a single time. So if I request landing VAICOM sends the request landing command twice. Here is a bit of the log from my recent flight. Any ideas?? Thanks! 2:37:42 PM - Listening suspended 2:37:42 PM - Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 release' 2:37:41 PM - TX1 | SEL/AUTO: [ ],[ ],[ ] [ ] [ ] 2:37:41 PM - TX1 | SEL/AUTO: [ ATC ],[ ],[ ] Request Landing [ ] [ ] 2:37:41 PM - Recognized : 'ATC request landing' (contains 'atc') 2:37:41 PM - Recognized : 'ATC request landing' (contains 'request landing') 2:37:38 PM - Listening resumed 2:37:38 PM - Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 press' 2:35:11 PM - Listening suspended 2:35:11 PM - Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 release' 2:35:09 PM - TX1 | SEL/AUTO: [ ATC ],[ ],[ ] Inbound [ ] [ ] 2:35:09 PM - TX1 | SEL/AUTO: [ ATC ],[ ],[ ] Inbound [ ] [ ] 2:35:09 PM - Recognized : 'ATC inbound' (contains 'inbound') 2:35:09 PM - Recognized : 'ATC inbound' (contains 'atc')

MP - Resolution and Monitor Size - Spotting
CrackerJack replied to CrackerJack's topic in Multiplayer
I'd be interested in the Gamma tweak also. I was thinking of bumping my resolution down to 2580 x 1080 and run a test to see if I can spot at farther range than at 3440 x 1440. -
I'm updating to the latest release and working through the Finish step in the Keywords Editor. A dialog is displayed by VAICOM with a note which says to make sure "multipart commands are consolidated" in VA. I'm not sure how to configure this is VA??
-
I don't have multiplayer experience but want to get started. I just watched a video saying that monitor size and resolution play a big role in online play ie spotting distance. I have an ultrawide monitor at 3440 x 1440 which is nice but might be a disadvantage online. So my question is if you play online do you lower your resolution to make spotting easier?

Thanks guys. As you have sumized I had not switched the SOI to the right DDI.

I have a Thrustmaster Warthog. I've mapped the TDC to the slew control on the throttle using the Axis Commands. When I'm in the AC there is absolutely no response when I try to move the TDC on the radar DDI. I searched this thread and haven't found a solution. Any suggestions please:cry:

Sorry but I'm confused. Should I use the old version of Helios or the new Helios 1.4 for the F18 setup?? Thanks

The Podcast is great - keep it up! I have a suggestion for a topic. I've been involved with DCS for years but never multi-player. I'd be interested in hearing a discussion on getting started in multi-player either WWII or jet. What aircraft would be a good choice? What server? I know there is going to be a learning curve. But I'd like to hear from experienced MP players a good way to ease into MP to minimize frustration as much as possible. Just a thought guys! Cheers!

feefifofum I would say a semi-realistic unit, not sure if that makes any sense. A balance between real world rigours and a casual play free-for-all. I would prefer air-to-air with PVP being the majority. Thanks again!

I've been exclusively SP to date and would like to get involved with an online community to learn and of course have some fun. I'm in the EST zone. I have no idea about online servers or units and looking for recommendations. Also for modern air combat what would be the suggested AC for some one in my position. Thanks!

Wow! I'm glad I found this thread! I spent hours, trying to figure out what the heck was wrong. I had wired headphones and then bought wireless and had no sound from DCS. Sound was coming from everything else. The cfg file worked in my case also.
