DCS and Oculus Rift- Cockpits and gauges Hi, I made a little gallery of almost all cockpits and gauges so you can see how they look like in Oculus Rift DK2. Also I would like to make a list of useable planes: The most intense plane: The K-4! The Cockpit is so small, you really feel like falling out of the plane! Easiest to use plane (DCS Module): No.1 : Dora. Big gauges, organized cockpit No.2 : K-4, again big gauges! No.3 : P-51 Mustang. Gauges are smaller and a little harder to read than in the german planes No.4 : F-86 Sabre. Same as the P-51 bt new cockpit reflections are a mess No.5 : Mig-21 (quite hard to use without a keybord...) Flaming Cliffs 3: No.1: Su-27! Gauges and HUD are bigger than in other planes, easy to read no number 2, instuments in the F-15 are hard to read, font size in the HUD is to small Ground attack: only possible with IR TV (SU-25T and Maverics in A-10 A & C) A2A: WWII planes easy, no problem spotting targets, BVR works best in the SU-27. Here is the whole gallery, enjoy! http://imgur.com/a/zcG7G#36

me? No, just Nvidia settings, custom resolution for rift and monitor to 2560*1440, same res ingame and go. thats all I did

Rift is now set up and running very well. Spotting air targets is no issue, ground targets a big no-no. Dog fighting is incredible as you have to move in a 1:1 ratio. WWII fights ends up in sitting 170°deg to your keybord and you shoot the enemy down within 10min or your neck et tiered! THIS IS JUST INSANE GOOD! I'll attach some screens, rendered with 2560*1440 and downsampled to Rift display. Enjoy

binos for Rift uses! 10/10 approve

Most likely: No. You win the mission by surviving ( and kill all escort fighters) :pilotfly:

seems I found the trick. I've set Monitor and Rift and game to 2540*1440, Rift samples down and voilá, a nice picture!

could smebody pls make a screenshot while sitting on the runway? just sit normal, do nothing and make a scrennshot and upload it here so I can compare if my Rift works ok now?

I tried it all, no change :(

rift as primary? or secondary?

yes, game is in 1920*1080. rift res does not change, no matter what res I select in game

just got my DK2. First, it feels amazing! But, my screen looks more like 640*480 instead of 1920*1020... this is what I expected: and see screenshot of what I get? Any tips?

I would like to have one. But the latest version (-PM?) That one that downed a F-18 over Iraq :)

I just got my shipping notification for my Rift DK2. I'll report back how spotting air and ground targets is with the Rift... Poll: bigger dots and metal glare! (+ smart scaling)

The F-1 is much needed! Much more than your trainer jets. Avio: if the put the F-1 as your next Module, I'll buy the trainer to support you.

I really wish the devs of any team would make some sort of package of planes. Like F-86 and the Mig-15. Mustang and Dora, Mig-21 and (Mirage, Phantom, whatever fits) so we don't have the sad situation of having a very well done module but no opponend for multiplayer. Instead of opening a new timeframe or new class of planes, give us for each plane a propper opponend. That's why I hope for an F-14A :) When I look at other dev teams, who the hell needs a trainer jet? Why develop an P-40 which again has nothing to fight against? Why do I see a F8F on the roadmap were we have no japanese planes at all? So, LN, give us a western plane that matches the Mig-21's timeframe or give us a sovjet plane that can compete with FC3 jets :) Fingers crossed for F-14A

you need ground power when your battery drops below 24V

Thx! The F-15 has shot one 120C at me and than he lost me in the valley.

true :) OT: who needs BVR when you can have a Mig? :music_whistling:

very true, it was just like 10000h and stuff that sound wrong to me.

yout time estimations seems a "little" bit too much?!? after 100h flying the F-15 you should have mastered the plane. It's still just a FC3 plane, Mig-21 or A10C different story for sure, but these 3 buttons you need in FC3 should get you really quick to succsess :huh:

As promised, here is the video: tactic: I tried to stay low as possible and use the terrain as cover and very limited use of my own radar. I did switch on my radar once a minute for a quick scan and if I detect a target for IFF. loadout: make the Mig as light as possible! 4 R-60 heat seakers, one on each pylon, 65% fuel and a centerline droptank. What did I do? I switched on the radar for a scan once I pass the mountain in front of me. A contact! Quick IFF, ENEMEY! Immediatly I set the radar to standby. One second later my RWR freaks out, missile launch! Now I do some things simultaneously: drop fuel tank, high 6g 90° turn into the valley next to me, deploy countermeassures. In the after battle report you get at the end of the track I saw it was an AIM-120C! When I came out of the valley, the enemy F-15 just passes by directly abouve me. I go full force second stage of afterburner and end up on his low six o'clock! First R-60 failed (I think it went into the mountain in front of me) but the second killed his plane and the pilot. Epic win! Pls. note that Track IR seems to not work in the replay, that's why the camera doesn't move. Enjoy!

Ha! I just got my first Mig-21 kill vs a modern jet. I shot down a F-15 on 104th server tonight. I will upload the video later or tomorrow. Never was a kill so rewarding for me :pilotfly:

The Iranians don't need training or a simulator for their F-14, they need spare parts :lol: Nah, the used their F-14 very successfull in the first gulf war, they surely don't need DCS for anything
