Nooch

I would say rudder pedals are a must. You might not want to spend a leg on it though, especially if you're just starting with DCS. The T.Flight set at 100 bucks will do the job perfectly fine.

I spotted a difference here that I circled in red. Also in a more subtle manner, at the tip of the tail, there are tiny horizontal fins in place of the bulge we can see on the 3D model. Maybe just due to the fact the model isn't finished and you'll want to say thanks captain obvious but I still wanted to point these out just in case.

What I did was get a little thin and narrow table (kinda like a night table but a tad taller), placed it behind my desk and put my rift sensors on it. That way I have my sensors far enough while still being able to use my desk normally.

A big thank you for fixing this great mod. I used to deactivate it when flying at night because of the backlighting issue but now I won't have to anymore! :D Just a little remark: the readme says you must copy the folder to users\saved games\dcs but actually the path is Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\

Does keypad 5 work in this case? I've read keypad view commands were disabled in VR... Didn't try yet.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I didn't know about Pimax before and after reading your post I don't regret buying my rift despite its low res. At least they didn't ship it with dust inside :noexpression:

Yes, currently the resolution is simply too low and there's basically nothing you can do except implement some kind of smart scaling ingame.

Exactly. You have to enable "use mouse in VR" and "confine mouse to game window".

In DCS I would go to Options --> Controls --> UI layer (in the dropdown menu under your aircraft names) --> Reset VR center position (or something like this) --> bind this command to space bar or whatever he's comfortable with. Now tell him to move his head forward and press space bar. Then he can move his head back to its normal position and voila. His view ingame will be aft of where it was before and will remain as his new default position. Hope this helps. EDIT: Basically what I said corresponds to Sec 6 from the post in the link given below

I guess the virtual gloves will eventually serve when we'll be able to put on VR gloves and be able to click stuff in the cockpit with our own fingers. Probably not for tomorrow though.

It doesn't surprise me. The built-in VR preset isn't the best in my opinion. You need to switch pretty much all the eye candy off (HDR, shadows, AA, etc.) and set your pixel density to 1.0. Start from there, see what fps you're getting and then add stuff very gradually. Even with everything turned off and a gtx 980 I struggle to get over 45 fps most of the time.

It's the way it's pitched that makes it sound amazing. Is the difference between the two pictures really made by msgaa alone or did they turn off a few extra settings to make it look more appealing...? Probably. Nvidia are very well capable of that and I would be very cautious when it comes to their marketing.

Actually the 4 ports one has more bandwith per port. So in theory you're safer with this model. Is it really needed for the rift to work flawlessly? Maybe not, I don't know. It's not mandatory that's for sure. Just a good option if you really happen to need extra usb ports. I just think at around 20 ish bucks it's far better than buying a hub.

A USB hub would be a pretty bad option I guess. You should try to look into a pcie expansion card instead. Have a look at this page on the Oculus support website where they are addressing the issue. They're even telling exactly what expansion card to get. :)

Thanks, I couldn't find them. Good to know they are WIP cause to me they look nearly the same as the ones we have right now. :noexpression:

Why would you use CH manager anyway?

I think a poll has already been done on the matter. I'm not sure though. I did a very quick search but couldn't find it.

Those aren't screenshots. This is art! :D

With Rift CV2 maybe?

I don't get why people hated Vista so much... I had it and it ran fine for me.

Awesome! I've been dreaming of a good M2000 red flag campaign for quite a while now :D

It might seem necessary for the OP to switch to a yearly model now because it's kind of a mess with 1.5, 2.1, beta, non beta... And I have to agree on that. But once 1.5 and 2.1 will have merged at the end of the year, things will get back to normal and will look tidy again.

This is why I set my DCS to English lol

The graphics are now truly impressive on many levels and the new water is certainly among the biggest improvements. Now we just need the new clouds and it'll be perfect! :D Congrats to the devs for the great work they have already accomplished with 2.1 :thumbup:

Waiting is an option but frankly if he's interested in the TWCS he probably isn't looking for a f-18 throttle. That thing is going to cost at least as much as the A-10 stuff and probably even more. Waiting would make more sense if he thought about buying an A-10 hotas.
