That comment on Hoggit was made in regards to the Strike Eagle.

Would be big news if there was a throttle on their website, given there’s never been a word about one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, Wags. Appreciate the transparency and communication, it won’t please everyone (some people will never be happy with anything), but it definitely will do well to help tame the beast that this community can be. Feeling informed goes a long way with most people, usually a lack of info/communication is what causes things to spiral. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You’ve tried the 5K+ in its latest iteration? Tell us about your experiences; what games did they have loaded up, hardware, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

...so, like I said, they are shipping. Thanks for reiterating [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pimax’s are shipping and OC5 just passed with no mention at all of a PCVR HMD. This would be a really odd turn of events. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The big name YouTubers have had them for a while, so long enough to form educated opinions. Plenty of good data provided, as well as comparisons to the other high end devices such as XTOL and StarVR. Backers that attended regional meetings indeed only have limited experience, but their thoughts on certain aspects are still valid (noticeability of SDE, impact of the wider FOV on immersion, colors, text clarity, etc)...these things don't take weeks of persistent use to gather insight on. There's a DCS review with the Hornet, flying around the maps. The performance aspect will obviously be a challenge, given DCS doesn't perform with the current HMD's that are less demanding, but that's on ED not Pimax - is it not? Do you ever know this as an early adopter of anything? Google for pricing of tracking stations (not to mention to gain a general understanding of how the tracking works through SteamVR, which is designed for OEMs to be able to produce their own tracking stations). Other options are coming, including from Pimax. Isn't the Vive Pro $1400 all in? The 5K+ will be cheaper than that, and offers more...not sure how that is "unprofessional"? Their in house tracking solution is coming (and available for pre-order) but is not currently available to early adopters. The rest of your questions aren't really worth answering, not that the ones I answered were :pilotfly:

I thought ED had stated they were planning to update the cockpit for the A-10 this year somewhere, but I can't find the post anywhere.

There is a plethora of reviews out there, as well as thoughts from many of the regional Pimax get togethers over the past few weeks.

Yes, it would matter. It always matters. Also, if you're scanning 140* your B-Sweep probably froze so you're not seeing any radar updates....rock your wings or change it to 80*, then the B-Sweep won't freeze. It's a current bug.

This has been discussed ad nauseam here and every other DCS forum for years. Search “Dynamic Campaign”. Everyone has the same generally the same thought: yes it will be awesome. The realists know how difficult it will be to do though (based on feedback from the developer on the “other sim” that made comments saying as much in dramatic fashion), and wonder how good it can be done in DCS. Moreover, most people realize the core of the game needs quite a bit of cleanup before a DC is viable whatsoever. A DC is my #1 want and has been for a long time, but I think it’s a long way off because of the amount of holes ED needs to fill first with basic functionality in what already exists.

5K+ ordered. The no headphones thing is a plus for me, I don’t want any cost included into the price for the trash headphones I’d never use anyways...would much rather use my HiFi headphones, as I’ve always done (first thing I did when my Rift arrived was take the headphones off).

Confirmed officially by ED and they’ve said numerous times “Completing the F/A-18C is our priority at this time”, they’d also said not to expect to hear much more on the F-16C until that is done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Par for the course. Hopefully soon though :thumbup:

You’ll be very CPU limited on DCS running at 4.0ghz with a 2080Ti. My CPU at 4.7ghz is a bottleneck to my 1080Ti. Just a heads up to keep an eye on that, you may want to bump that up as soon as reasonably possible. Also, there’s no shot in hell of achieving those FPS in the 8K (nor the Rift or any other Gen 1 HMD...you’re currently lucky to get 30-45FPS in the Rift in the more demanding MP servers, with a top rig). Watch the Swiviver YouTube review playing DCS below, you’ll be lucky to get 30-40FPS with bare bones setting in SP (he says “often less than 30”), expect about half of that in MP. That’s with the current code though, Vulkan would help...though probably not to the extent of 100FPS. You’ll need to be reasonable on these expectations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wait for a sale then if it’s not a module you’re crazy about having. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was more a question for my own knowledge, I'm not entirely sure what is/is not possible with today's top tier 3D printers. I hope Shapeway's can get you sorted out.

"Slated for the end of this month"... "Nothing has changed"... So, you can expect the updates by the end of this month.

I believe lettering for panels, etc is generally reserved for CNC's and laser cutters rather than 3D printers, no?

PR being PR, doesn't comfort me a whole lot but it's better than confirmation that the CV2 as we knew it is indeed dead in the water. The can has been kicked down the road, we shall see where we end up :thumbup:
