Will the Spitefire require a full scale joystick and does this mean it will be useless trying to fly it without one? I know they obviously want to make it as realistic as possible, but most people don't have a full scale flight stick. Couldn't they alter the controls to make it realistic with a normal stick or is this something you can you do yourself in the config? I think it's going to be difficult enough trying to learn all the gauges and stuff, without making it difficult to fly without a full joystick. Edit: I just heard of an extension you can get for the Warthog Joystick, but where in the UnitedKingdom can you get this? Also, what size extension would you suggest I get? Thanks!

Who is developing the Spitefire? Who is developing the Spitefire and is it anywhere near release? I did a search in the search bar but nothing came up. I'm really looking forwards to this aircraft and just want some info about it.

I have checked the Q&A in the videos and it doesn't mention if Direct to Rift will be in 1.5. All it talks about is 2.0 and Rift support. I know the maps won't be included with 1.5, but I'd like to know if Direct to Rift is included 1.5.

What is MSVS?

Will 1.5 have the new Oculus Rift support? Direct Mode?

I've just just read it and it doesn't answer my question, it only says what to expect in the Sim. What I don't know is which one of these >>GPU or GPU<< would give me better performance? I'm just not sure if the Sim is going to remain CPU dependent like it is now, or if all that's about to change. I'd hate to think I went and spent money on a Geforce 980ti though, if I'm not going to see any improvement over my Geforce 970.

Does anyone know the answer to the GPU question I asked? With the current engine it seems like it's more CPU dependent then it is GPU, so I was looking to upgrade to Skylake 6700k when its released. However, I would think about getting a Geforce 980ti, instead, if I thought the CPU wasn't going to give me much of a performance boost. i7 930 overclocked 4.0 Ghz Gigabyte G1 gaming Geforce 970 12 GiG Ram Raptor HDD

Percentage wise - What performance gain can we expect to see in the black sea map with 1.5? My frame rates are between 50-60 on the current engine, but I'd like to know if this will increase significantly when 1.5 is introduced? Are we looking at something like a 20% increase or more? Will 1.5 use more of the GPU or is it still going to be CPU dependent like the current engine? One thing Matt never says during the streams is what FPS he is getting.

What do you mean by this? Where did the OP say he used CCRP in his post?

Poor Puma asks a question and gets drawn into a debate on pedals LoL. I bet he's wishing he never asked now. Anyways, I'll just say I've got Saitek Combat rudder pedals and have never crash landed the A10C in cross winds yet. I'm wondering if he had another control set to roll he didn't know about. Maybe he even set the Saitek Padals set to roll LoL. He spoke about rolling when he attempted to land and I can't think how that would happen using his padals. I know it's not something I've experienced using the Saitek Pedals.

I'm a little confused about 1.5 now. September can be anything from 5 weeks to 9 weeks away if you are including the end of Sept. I thought by then we would be looking at DCS 2 and the NTTR map tbh. I didn't realize we are still months and months away from either. Have I read this wrong or is this how it stands? What is 1.5 exactly?

I didn't see in the manual that it was non functional. So what bits are working on this and which aren't, or is it totally non functional?

I see, but it would be a lot easier just putting down a mark point and naming it something like tanks ect. I think I'd start to get confused if I did it your way, but maybe it's just getting used to it that way.

Inertia mode? Whats that if you don't mind me asking? Is this the mode where you just do a short aft on the TMS? If it is what's the difference between that mode and area mode?

Does anyone know what I'm talking about when I mention HARS? This thread had 56 views without reply, so I'm not sure if I've explained myself properly. I'm taling about the system that is a backup to the EGi, but I'm a bit clueless on how to use it after reading the manual.

Does any have a simple tutorial on how to use HARS? I've looked for you tube videos about it, but I can't find a tutorial on how to use it. Thanks!

I think you might be posting in the wrong thread, so probably moved.

You are 100% correct, but apparently I have no idea what I'm talking about.

He didn't say is would make the low res panel any better. He said is what I've said that Dcs 2 will greatly enhance the experience in dk2. I own the rift and know when I slap it on my head with a game that has poor graphics that it shows in the Rift. With games that have much better graphics things look much better as you would expect. This tells me that DCS 2 will look better in the Rift on the NTTR map, because NTTR has much better graphics then DCS has right now.

Nice stream and hope to see a chopper flight over Vegas in the dark next time. Would love to see Vegas at night with all it's lighting.

I know, I have the NTTR map in mind.

Higher resolution ground terrain mesh and textures for new maps (between 1 and 64 meters per pixel depending on area of map and clipmap level) Improved Oculus Rift support @Revelation - The above tells me you are wrong. How can it not look any different when DCS2 will have higher resolution ground terrain mesh and textures? It will also play a lot smoother hence the reason they mention Improved Oculus Rift Support.

I think the high res in DCS 2 should make it look much better then it is at present in DK2, but my problem is whether or not to sell my DK2 right now. I mean, if they were going to release this in 2 to 3 months time I would probably hold of selling. I just thought they would have had a clearer picture about a release date by now, but I understand they want this released in good order.

The part I'm disappointed about is that this has left me not knowing if I should sell my Oculus Rift. I have kept hold of it just to see what it was like in DCS 2, but now having no estimated release date has left me not knowing what to do with it. They haven't even said if we are looking at this year and with the VR headsets out early next year you can see my dilemma. I just wish they hadn't waited until June to say that they don't have a release date after the Feb news letter.

Thanks all.
