  1. Agreed. Won't be able to fly for a bit to provide a track file. Hopefully someone can!
  2. PD = pixel density. In simple terms, it's like increasing the resolution in VR.
  3. That PC is very similar in spec to mine, and I'm very happy with it. Running VR all high settings with a 1.8PD, smooth as silk in the Tomcat. In my opinion and experience with a nearly identical PC, that is money well spent.
  4. Get a 2080 if you can swing it if you have any plans of ever getting into VR. Also, get a SSD for your DCS install.
  5. I think I get what he's saying. Taxiing in real airplanes isn't nearly as smooth as it appears in DCS. Taxiways are bumpy and you definitely feel it in the plane. Modeling that would add a bit more to the immersion of the sim. Necessary, no. Nothing wrong with putting it on the wishlist, though.
  6. It looks incredible. My CPU and RAM is newer, but running on a 2080. Runs perfectly with settings to high (including shadows) and mirrors on. The amount of detail and depth is mind blowing. You're going to love it!
  7. I had the same issue, upgraded from a 1060 to a 2080, no more problems.
  8. It is happening. Nearly done installing already.
  9. Congrats to you and the rest of the team!
  10. The Yak runs as well as any other plane, and I own most of them. I am using the shaders mod.
  11. Not accurate. It can be used in MP servers with integrity check OFF.
  12. Tried it out briefly today. Running a GTX1060. Incredible improvement in FPS, it's absolutely fluid now. No loss in graphics quality; in fact, I was able to change shadows from flat to high without any visible loss in FPS. So... Better graphics coupled with a dramatic increase in FPS. What sorcery is this?!
  13. I have a Rift, 1.3PD. I can spot the ball at a minimum 1/2 mile out. I thought I couldn't at first, but it was only because I was too low in the beginning of the groove. Once I sorted my pattern out, I found I was able to spot the ball a great deal further out.
  14. Repeatable by others. NWS HI results in unreliable and infrequent functionality. On exterior view inputs move the wheel visually, but the plane moves in a straight path. On some occasions a high gain turn can be initiated but steering authority is lost shortly after initiating NWS input. This occurs in the carrier and on land.
  15. The end of the command should be update @openbeta
  16. My sentiments exactly. Having grown up with Hornets, it's unreal to know in about a week I'll be strapping on my VR headset and finally sitting inside a Hornet, and flying it.
  17. Nope, only the lower one. The lower display is the only one with color. The HSI minus the map can be displayed on the left and right.
  18. I believe I remember seeing axis control will be implemented in the upcoming update.... Forgive me if I'm wrong!
  19. Just throwing in my input. I have the mounts for my Thrustmaster T16000m HOTAS, and they have vastly improved the comfort of flying at the desk. It took just a few minutes to have them put together and mounted on the desk. The ease of use and ability to go from side to center stick in seconds is just awesome. The build quality is impressive; I can’t imagine ever having to replace the main mounting system, only the plates when I get a new HOTAS.
  20. I’ve got the stick and throttle with TM pedals. Light years better than anything I’ve owned from Saitek.
  21. I had this issue in several planes. The issue was tha I left my FFB steering wheel in. I had to UNCHECK FFB in the DCS settings screen. Once I did that, trim worked in all aircraft.
  22. Macken, perhaps a little perspective will help but I know different people will have different opinions. I’ve spent $50-60 on games I played for a few months and got all I could out of them. When it comes to DCS, I use these planes for years and years. For the work that goes into these modules and what we get out of them (study-level sims that provide years of enioyment), $70 is perfectly reasonable.
  23. Firmek, I can definitely appreciate those comments. My only response about the manuals is that the real manuals for the Harrier are readily available for us to use and are proving to be extremely useful and enjoyable for those of us who want take this to the study-sim level.
