phant posted new F-5 pics on the italian section see here

yeah - fantastic review they are able to demonstrate a 1:1 comparison of SDE/resolution between the rift and vive

^^amazing i think that might be the closest thing we've got yet to a "solution" to the resolution limitations of head-mounted displays yet thx for posting very interesting...

what i feel should be simulated (to SOME extent) is the fact that the "S-switch" isn't on the HOTAS - yet it is employed in the sim like its on the HOTAS (ie.. quick on and off) people are "gaming" the sim in ways that you can't "game" the real world jet the way it should be modeled in the sim, is to only permit engagement/disengagement of the S-switch if the a/c is experiencing less than a specified G-loading threshold ----- say maybe 2Gs or 3 or 4 (get some feedback from aircrew) have you ever tried to move your hands around the cockpit during a hard turn? it is very difficult... now, for balance, i am hearing the complaints about the SU breaking up in unusual circumstances - probably straining credibility okay, maybe we need to look at that but in the interest of REALISM, we should only permit S-switch operation during conditions where a real-world SU pilot would be able to engage or disengage that switch we want realistic aircraft in the sim, right?

be a man and stick with your decision

yeah - i saw this too ----- but the data it is collecting is innocuous detailed analysis (also reddit)

oh man! looks like what the world looks like if i take my glasses off : ( (( ps.. but thanks for posting this ))

OpWatcher all day allllllll day : /

whoa! seriously?? that sounds like a plan! 8)

"oof"

yeah.. second gen its really going to need to be "flight sim ready" i wonder how long we're gonna have to wait : /

"occupy"

i don't care what else OR works with, as long as it works with DCS lol

normally it only takes a handful of rounds to do the job not sure about the mig-15 specifically though..

ps.. pg 23 overwing vapor 8)

too difficult to add a link i guess where did you see the A-7 manual? i only see the harrier [ edit -- nevermind, scroll further down.. ]

found this this morning... Manus VR gloves

if ED was thinking ahead and built-in the capability for expansion, then yes it would be "easy" but if what we have now is "baked in" or hardcoded or what have you, then additional elements would represent a lot of work

i know! its an address given by the two test pilots involved in the YF-23 program - along the way they give comparisons of key capabilites of the two aircraft and yeah, its a long video but you learn a lot about the whys and wherefores and relative capabilities - i found it very interesting

you're right, that's why i said "generic aircraft controls" ----- things that are common to all aircraft ie.. landing gear, flaps, various lights, canopy, jettison stores, engine power on/off, maybe some extra wildcard items..

control of a virtual cockpit is a daunting challenge maybe not what you want to hear but.. i'm thinking maybe hardware analogs are better - generic aircraft panels with switches, levers and knobs for common aircraft functions and you could operate these physically - even memorize their locations and operate by feel alone (of course, the "see through" front-facing camera on the vive would be very helpful, even though i concede it would tend to disrupt the suspension of disbelief..)

uhm.. i clicked both your links - where is this DCS/Vive video? he has a video with "A-10" in the title but unless he made a really really short clip in a huge video, i didn't see any DCS in there... [[ edit - THIS : [ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUuGnt4Uy8Y]THIS[/ame] is not DCS - even though it has "A-10" in the title (??) ]]

lighten up Francis no one is "punishing" you

My understanding is 90 Hertz is necessary not to reduce judder, although it certainly does that, it's because at less than 90 Hertz refresh rate a significant portion of the population gets physically nauseous

i appreciated this article today.. FighterSweep.com
