It would be sad if it's released on 2.0 first. The 21 is not combat ready in Nevada.

Valve/HTC Vive Discussion Did anybody try both Vive and Rift and could tell us if he sees any performance/quality difference?

With some you have to stretch with years. LNS announced that the Viggen is coming in September back in August. Almost a year passed and still nothing at all [emoji2]

In May it was said in June. In June it was said in July in the trailer. But then in the official news it was said July-August. In short, it could be any month of the year :D

I think because the beam mode is actually a vertical radar line. So you know the distance of every point right in front of you. Knowing your speed, the computer can permanently calculate the impact point.

Cranking is the key. It's well explained in the link from Kunz. You can shoot down Eagles with AMRAAMs, if you wisely use the chaff and the jammer to shorten his shooting range.

is the slant range radar implemented or not yet? if I am not wrong this is one of the last things missing in A2G, if it is not the last, right?

I have Vive but it's an interesting post. Unfortunately I can't increase the pixel density as with the CV1 for the moment but I will try your setup.

Is it possible to increase the pixel density in the Vive as well?

You are right about the founder edition crap. I personally ordered an MSI gaming edition. But it's out of stock. I suppose that NVIDia Is is ramping now and we will soon she a shorter lead time. It's expensive you are right. But I want to spend at least 4 years with the same hardware. I don't want to make the same mistake as with the current GPU.

why is it beta at all? i dont remember having a bug with it.

in the next update the Hawk will be out of beta! dont hold your breath

I didn't quite get that. You mean there will be in update released shortly today?

I got my Vive 2 days ago. I had also to bump my rig even if the older one was a very decent one. I have now an i7 6700K 4Ghz, 32Gb DDR4 Ram, 1000W, ordered an GTX1080 but didn't receive it yet. For the moment I did the test with the older GPU, AMD R9 290x. My feedback is that Vive, and probably simply VR in DCS is very hungy. I truly cant use it now with the current GPU which is not bad. I have headaches just by looking around without flying. Looking around in the this job simulator is very smooth. Without a very good GPU, consider your choices carefully before jumping into VR and probably be ready to invest in a monster rig to really use it in DCS. Until I receive my GTX 1080, I will use TrackIR, cause now I just cant touch Vive in DCS. I hope this feedback will help. edit: I have the config mostly set on rather high. I will test a down tuned config.

after this beautiful technical explanation, how could someone just disable the drift?

after the last update only the Razbam missiles are used. Make sure that you are up to date.

DCS World Updates Discussion It was in one of the streams but of course any professional wouldn't say "I promise" and I was talking about the "news" which is not the topic at all. They have been pushing news every Friday. Regarding 2.5, check out his last stream about VR in A10C He switches between Caucausus and NTTR maps. I believe it is indeed 2.5 (I'm not sure if he said it actually)

:D well yeah he didn't say "we promise" that would sound lame :D I hope we get the 2.5 soon and we get the Mirage out of Beta so we don't need recurrent updates.

Wags said in one stream there will be short weekly news. If that's not a promise then what is it? Until now there was every Friday a newsletter sometimes they said very little but still something. I understand you try to lower expectations as much as you can but the topic are DCS updates not news. My opinion is that it's totally fine if ED doesn't update for a couple of weeks. I'm sure they are not sitting around doing nothing but are quite busy. I only hope one day the architecture improve and allows independent mods that doesn't require ED to test changes of third party devs before updating. Maybe in DCS 3 maybe later. That's my opinion, I'm out

Read again please. I said they didn't promise update of the game. Only weekly news.

They promised news weekly, not DCS updates.

People don't wait for ED fixes. People wait for fixes of third party devs, namely Razbam and Polychops. If they could release only their fixes, I doubt anybody would complain that we don't have full DCS updates. And That's why people expect recurrent updates, not that they want to be spoiled

The problem is that third party mode rely on those updates from ED. There were few recurrent updates from third party devs in the past, in fact there were few mods at all. People love easy comparisons without wanting to have a tiny deeper look at what they compare.

Let's schedule a flight when the Tiger is uncaged :)

Can't agree more. I would just add that LNS should tune down the R3R performance. They were bumped for gameplay against the FC3 fighters. Now that we have the F5 they should be more realistic. This will allow the f5 to get to a dogfight
