Am I crazy? Is the A-10C learning curve too steep for first plane?
metzger replied to Burgo38's topic in DCS: A-10C Warthog
If you don't have sim flight experience, you are in trouble :) I don't want to scare you but there is sooo much more to learn than simply some tutorials and dcs a10c manual. The learning curve is much steeper than you think :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk -
People have to realize that developing cost more money than the hardware itself. If company's does not make enough profit from their current product they won't have money for developing and creating the next one. Look at pimax, if they had successful and profitable pimax 4k, they can keep selling it until they are ready with the 8k. Then when they feel 4k is becoming obsolete and people no more buying it, they will have ready developed new product to offer and continue their work for a new product. You cant keep developing forever to reach the perfect product, you need to have profit to pay salaries and bills and it is important to announce a new product at the right time.

A-10C Mini Campaign: Operation Save Badger (SP & MP)
metzger replied to Quirkitized's topic in User Created Missions General
WIngmem is useless which makes the mission impossible. If I say attack with guided bombs he answers "roger" then "rejoin" and then "rtb" and does nothing. If I directly tell flight attack air defences, 2 make some passes with bombs and then goes for rockets even when still has bombs and they shot him down, and 3 stuck at running in and out without shooting :( -
In case of hud failure I guess. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Well I see your point but note that oculus were the ones who developed the VR technology. They put a lot of effort in developing, testing, marketing, software etc... This all cost a lot of money. If you look at both pimax and osvr you can see they took the dk2 design. They save a lot of efforts and money on developing because they easily could buy dk2 and have the technology ready and even though they are not much cheaper than oculus considering their products are far from finished and lacks of support. Oculus had their software long time ago and releasing development kits, software developers had the chance to make their software to work with oculus long before there were any of the Chinese hmd's. I dont think it is correct to say that the who developed something is the reason why it is not advancing. Anyway I dont care what hmd I will use if its fully working. If vive can work in dcs so can others if developed correctly so if pimax managed to sol e the tracking issues and compatability, I would pay not 400 but 600 for it. On the topic, starting a kickatarter seems odd to me, they have pimax 4k not finished yet and they want to start another product and who knows when it will be ready... And taking consideration that vive and oculus for sure are working on their next gen and they probably are almost ready. I guess they dont want to make their current products obsolete by announcing the new ones but most probably they will announce them before the Chinese can finish their current ones. So I dont think paying for kickstarter for a Chinese company which does not have a english speaking person to write in their forum is a smart investment at the moment :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Over the hump is easy until you reach the missions with f16s. It is not a fair fight against amraams :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Are you using DK2? Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Not true at all. I would love to buy pimax if it has 6dof and better image with reasonable performance. But very few people have it to share experience. Reviews on YouTube does not say anything at all and are very (dont know how to explain on english) but they dont say much. So if anyone have it and have some experience with dcs or racing sims like assetto corsa with it. I would love to hear their opinion on it in terms of picture quality tracking and performance.

Can someone who actually tried it confirm if tthere is less sde and it is not with the cost of more blur? Because sde has nothing to do with the resolution but with the distance between the pixels. More and smaller pixels with the same distance = higher sde. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Read a10's over kosovo and flying the warthog in the gulf war. Great books very interesting readings and helps a lot for understanding real a10 employment tactics and procedures. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Those unfinished rushing of "4k beadset" and now this funny looking "8k" looks more like pathetic attempts to put something on the market to earn some money before the big players release something really good. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

It looks very heavy and uncomfortable. Like they put 2 displays in there.. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

There is vr zoom in settings-controls-ui controls. DK2 has pretty good positional tracking, make sure your sensor is plugged and recognized. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

The problem is that in the end it is not cheap. 400 bucks for what it offers is not cheaper than oculus. May be compared to vive only it is. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

I would love to see arma with vr and oculus touch Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Actually I am investing for some boxes with knobs and switches currently, they work like a charm in vr by muscle memory and touching and especially for left panel you can operate them without having to release the stick for the mouse. Reading and writing is not an issue, there is a gap for yoir nose and you can peak trough it just enough so you can read something. I commonly write jtac 9 lines in a notebook. Anyway if you want to wait wait but don't try vr then or I doubt you will be able to wait :) whatever monitor just doesn't compare. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

It feels natural, it is like asking for adding dead zone to your head in real life :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

+1. I am sure that in the future vr will be no difference than monitors now. There will be many, good, bad, cheap, expensive... And all will work natively. For good or bad oculus were first on the market to define the current standard and to have most plug and play software. For people like me who has 2-3 hours for simming and doesn't want to loose time in trying to make something work oculus rift looks like the best choice. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Correct, my mistake. So I guess it can only provide you proper heading in case main nav fail. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Dear oculus rift cv1 users. Is it really worth it!
metzger replied to boedha68's topic in Virtual Reality
Sorry for the offtopic but which server you have joined where there is some intense ww2 battle ? I used to fly (if I manage to takeoff) fw190 but dogfighting against AI is annoying and there was not many people in the servers so I gave up on it for some time. Or might be there some more people now due to the spit release ? Have to check.. -
When you take damage and your EGI fails, your instruments still shows correct heading etc... this is HARS working. There is a HARS panel behind ils and tacan, you can synchronize it from there and some more tweaking but nothing special, it is described in the manual. I am not sure if you can navigate your cdu waypoints by using hars and how is it in the real A10A where HARS is the main navigation system.

I haven't seen anyone bought osvr and saying "hey that's great works like charm" not a single person in the forum who tried it said a good word for it. Look the OP. And how much cheaper it is? 400 bucks for heavier no headphones no controller dk2 design with poor software and according to the reviews and opinions worst image... Yeah great :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk

Then go for it. I prefer the rift. There are videos of people playing with google cardboard :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
