I have the same issue with AIRIO - Voice Attack detects my words correctly, AIRIO doesn't then interpret them correctly. I gave up after several hours of troubleshooting.

Any news on more Tomcat panels? I just bought two Lenovo E7 tablets for AU$100 each, solely for this app, can't wait to get it working :). Do I need to buy two copies, one for each tablet, or will one license work on multiple tablets? Thanks again to the dev for creating such an awesome utility; wish I had heard of it before I bought my Stream Deck XL a couple of weeks ago. That sucker is going on eBay asap!

Given that we need a 100% performance increase to power the current Reverb at a minimum of 90fps (on the proviso that our CPUs aren't holding us back, which they likely are), and most major new GPU architectures deliver around 20 to 30% better performance than their predecessors (ie 2080 Ti vs 1080 Ti), I think we'll be waiting for the RTX 5080 Ti some time in 2025 before we can get 90fps in the Reverb Pro. And if you're thinking the move to Vulkan will deliver that performance increase, I'd like some of what you're smoking :pilotfly: Are we sure we want the G2 to have twice the resolution? I personally would prefer a better set of lenses for wider FOV and sweet-spot.

FIXED! Turns out my Honeycomb Alpha flight controls were causing the conflict, and there was no way to stop this other than unplugging this controller.

Two 4K screens would be 38040 x 2160 each. There isn’t a GPU coming in the next few years that could handle this.

Nope, it’s masking Antialiasing, at least according to ED’s notes.

The various incorrect claims of performance increases in this thread alone show how hard it is to test one of the main areas people waste time on testing - performance. We’ve been waiting 10+ years for an integrated benchmark. Surely the minimal development time required to build one is worth the thousands of hours DCS flyers waste doing inconsistent benchmarking attempts?

I found an even nice matched font for the Tomcat - ms 33558, which fits with the Tomcat. Can I ask how you save an Inkscape image into a format usable by the Stream Deck?

Thanks guys, ms 33558 is pretty spot on.

Hey folks, I'm having the exact same issue - did a total reinstall of DCS to try and fix it. All seemed well until I rebound all my controls, and the red colouring over rudder appeared again. Now I have to reset rudder to default controls every time I start the game. I'm not sure how to find any conflicts - I can't see any? How do I check if there are any modifiers?

Time to grab a couple of small tablets for virtual F-14 buttons! Any chance we can get some more Tomcat panels?

Yep. I can adjust to the dimmer, slight flicker of 60 more than the extreme ghosting and judder caused by WMR's reprojection. I wish I didn't notice reprojection like many, but it seems my eyes are very sensitive to it. That's what happens when you've trained your Mark 1s with games for over 35 years!!!

I feel the same way, but for VR to be acceptable to me in flight sims is less about the HMD, and more about the grunt powering it. That is, the PC that is pushing frames to the HMD. Until I can hit the same minimum frame rate as the HMD's refresh rate, which is 60Hz in the Reverb Pro's low refresh rate mode, reprojection will always be a deal-breaker for me.

Thanks chaps, some good places to start from.

I'm building a custom Stream Deck profile for the Tomcat, and was wondering what is the official font used by Heatblur? Any chance they have a weathered version available?

When quick starting on the boat, you start the flight in mid-air, about a mile in front of the SC. When coming in to land, you don't get any approval over the radio to start recovery, and then your hook bounces off the deck, with no on-screen ball indicator.

Hey mate, slowly figuring out how to use Inkscape, shouldn't take long! Can I ask what font you used with the Tomcat buttons?

Perfect, thank you ever so much :)

I'm a dolt - turns out that even though I'd purchased SC, I hadn't installed it! Now installing, should work fine.

To OP, sorry mate, but your GPU is very old by simming standards. I don't think you can expect to see much of a performance improvement through optimisation of DCS. As for the GTX 1080, have you tried disabling SSLR? That caused a 40% performance hit on my rig.

First flight with the SC, and I obviously had to take the Tomcat in for a Case 1. However, when I radio the Washington ATC as inbound for landing, I keep getting not approved message. This happens no matter how far or close I am to the carrier. Am I missing something? Also, I'd love to try starting up and taking off from the SC, but can't seem to find a quick mission to do so. Can we please get one?

I had the same thing happen a short while ago. I think enabling vsynch while limiting FPS via NVIDIA control panel may have fixed it for me. Or it may have been an online server issue... can’t quite recall!

Accurately reporting VR performance in DCS is next to impossible. What is smooth for some (45fps with reprojection) feels terrible to others who are getting the exact same performance. That’s a user issue. However, actually testing performance is a nightmare as there is no standardised benchmark, with some people testing onffline with one mission, others with a different mission, while still more measure online performance. Then we have the huge impact of the various headset resolutions. Even if all things are equal, the variety of VR specific settings such as PD make it a nightmare to compare. A good start would be a built in benchmark in DCS, but when I raised this issue in the past it was shot down. Yet it’s a relatively easy thing to implement, provided the game’s replay feature is working accurately. I’ve heard this is broken though.

I need to map out approximately 150 keybinds for my Stream Deck F-14 profile, and was hoping there was a complete Headblur F-14 keybind list. I can't seem to find one though - does anybody know where there is one, or will I need to go through the in-game list manually?
