I very much would like this as well as I have the same issue. For me JHMCS sits about 10-15 degrees high. Apparently my face is tilted 10 degrees or so such that the headset is tilted that amount resting on my face...

Yes, thanks for this!

Thanks SkateZilla. The only pictures I can find are for an F/A-18A and they have a mechanism like the Viper, which is confusing, because I do see the knee bend in the videos as you say. Viper videos also show the knees bend as well though.

In an attempt to build my own Hornet rudder pedals, I've been doing a fair bit of research and it appears that DCS may have modeled and animated the pedals incorrectly - but I'm not entirely sure. Pictures I've seen and my readings suggests they are very similar to the Viper pedals. Small detail, but then again Eagle Dynamics has shown care for these little things (thankfully), after all they properly animated the air vents!

Looking forward to the update! I would love to learn more about how your doing the software side, if possible. Or even a few suggested things to read.

Thanks and I have it set at 42 which makes the Hornet and P-51D feel great in scale for me. I know how big the Warthog throttle is supposed to be in real life, but it is tiny in VR for some reason. I'm also perplexed as to why I can't read any panel label text in the A-10C because it is so miniature and blurs together, but I can read it perfectly fine in the Hornet with the same IPD setting. Oh well, doesn't look like there is much I can do.

Thanks for the update! However, the scale seems exactly as before. The throttle is tiny and all the text is so miniature that I can't read any of it in VR. The text seems to be maybe 1/4th the size of the text in the Hornet. The toggle switches are also very small and the throttle still looks like a tiny toy, as if I would have to pinch it with two fingers. Since I started flying in VR, I haven't flown the A-10C at all because the cockpit doesn't work well in VR and unfortunately, for me, that is still the case. I don't have these issues in the Hornet. Text seems to scale, throttle and stick seem life-size. HUD and displays also seem properly scaled and easily readable.

Thank you!

I vouch for Vaicom Pro as well. You can also disable the own player's voice and communications menu, not just subtitles. Then you don't hear your own pilot repeating what you just said or see any communication text on screen at all. Commands happen much quicker as well as Vaicom communicates directly with the game as opposed to working through the menu system.

My experience is the same as Mule's generally. However, in A2A mode, the left DDI switches to the stores page and the right to the radar when a missile is selected, which can be annoying if you have put anything else on the left DDI. Because of this, if I'm anticipating A2A combat I prefer to put the SA page on the AMPCD. You can just switch the left DDI after selecting a missile, but it will happen again if you change weapons (I believe though I could be wrong here, I'll just in DCS in a bit and test it out). Thanks for your work on DC-BIOS Ian!

I was unable to release my Walleyes starting from the ground (has already been reported), so I tried to jettison them, but was unable to selectively jettison them - only the emergency jettison worked. Probably related to the not being able to release the Walleye when starting from the ground bug, but thought I'd throw this in here, in case it is not or to perhaps prompt a test of this in the internal build. Thanks!

My experience is similar to pmiceli. LSS seems to only work when I already know where the target is and point the TGP onto the target. LSS will then find the JTAC laser. However, since I already know where the target is and am already pointing the TGP on the target, and JTAC is already lasing the target, I can simply skip the LSS stage and merely fly to the target and deploy my laser guided weapons of choice and egress. In this context, the only benefit to LSS is to be able to identify the target JTAC is lasing for myself - which has been helpful as I've found in DCS that the JTAC laser can be painting a structure obscuring the laser instead of the target. I then have to manually lase the target myself. This is useful, for DCS, not sure this is a real world issue though.

TIL, thanks!

Is the TGP reticle supposed to dim with the rest of the DDI on night mode? It looks much brighter in VR than in the screenshot. Attached is a picture.

Also, I've understood that it is SOP (standard operating procedure) to be at idle any time you're turning on the boat to avoid blasting the whole deck during the turn. Therefore you need a little linear momentum before you begin the turn. If you're into the real SOP you could taxi this way and doing so will also alleviate the wheel skidding problem at the same time. Here is a good video of taxiing after a trap on the boat. You get a good view of the pilot putting the throttle to idle just before he begins to turn because his GoPro falls forward. He fixes it shortly after, but you get the idea from the first turn. (It is also this pilot that informed me of this SOP) https://youtu.be/KEKDSTgDR2M?t=871

Would also like to add my +1. Hopped in the CC today and went to bind my toggle switch to the gear lever and was surprised to see just an on/off toggle.

I currently have ON-OFF and ON-OFF-ON toggle switches and use Joystick Gremlin for them. Below are pictures of the macros and conditions that I needed to get the OFF state to trigger an action. Hope this helps.

I've understood this is due to DCS modelling the inflight idle solenoid in the throttle, which changes the idle position from ground idle to inflight idle with no weight on wheels (WOW). I have to say it works well with the DIY throttle I made that has an accurate ground and inflight idle. Till I made this throttle though, it also was really bugging me. My throttle just has a push through detent, which is annoying for taxing admittedly. Eventually I'm going to use a WOW type input to activate a solenoid. Similar to what was done here: (Edit: this video is NOT MINE and is just meant to show how he used a WOW type function to activate the gear locking solenoid when the jet went airborne. I'd use the same method to after the flight idle detent solenoid.)

The pilots I've talked to all say the same thing essentially, "do that pilot sh!t" to maintain altitude during the break and hit your abeam distance. There are different techniques to do this.

The ground effect issue has been around for a while. ED has said that the engineer responsible for the FM will return to working on it when he is done with more pressing projects. I posted this in January: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3760047&postcount=73 The one thing I did wrong, which I learned after making the gifs, was not to anticipate touchdown with the throttle. This has no affect on the present topic however. (Lex, in his discord, rightly was skeptical of my flying ability and so his good criticism had me thoroughly testing this out until I was flying the last few hundred feet with my hands completely off the stick, and I included the axis indicator as well as the top part of the stick to be sure.)

Thanks for the weight on wheels solution! Been trying to find something like this.

It is true. A rudimentary G-warm up is modeled. I've tested this after I kept almost G-LOCing when practicing SHB carrier recoveries and on the initial merge during BFM at around 6Gs in the Hornet. If you do a couple 4-6G warmups prior to a max G turn you have about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes after the G warmup where you can complete a max G turn without G-LOC. In my testing, if, after the warmup, you wait more then 2 minutes, you'll once again G-LOC under max G (around 6Gs in the Hornet). *I've only tested this in the Hornet.

First I love this plugin for VA, it particularly makes flying with JTAC support much more fun. I'm excited for the the new carrier comms coming and hopefully someday, new ATC comms. One issue I've been having though is that I like to disable the ingame messages, but this also seems to shift all the other missions messages to the lower half of the screen in VR. In many missions, particularly Bankler's CASE I mission, the summary text is cut off as it clips off the bottom of the screen. This is resolved by enabling ingame messages. Can anything be done about this on my end?

I'm still hoping for some type of adjustment/alignment option. My issue is in VR and is due to the headset resting on my face slightly tilted up (apparently) such that when I look straight forward at the horizon the JHMCS appears 10 degrees too high. I can fiddle with the position on the headset to correct this, but it doesn't sit well and I lose the "sweet spot".

I switched to joystick_gremlin for this exact reason. Once I figured it out I really like it and use it for all my custom bindings. Now I don't have to touch the default.lua or worry about any updates. https://whitemagic.github.io/JoystickGremlin/
