  1. The simple fact is you can't play dcs with anything but OR or vive. What and when will happen in the future... God knows :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  2. Yeah its an old bug that no one pay attention to... Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  3. In adition, you are saying Oculus hardware is cheap so they are overpriced. Just to let you know if you dont.. software is more expensive than hardware and gues what.. Oculus software is much better than any other cheap hmd (if we can call $350 that much cheaper than $600). May be if pimax invest in software they can make it good but will they still be that "cheap" ? Why osvr made opensource their crappy software ? Because investing in development would make them expensive and making open source mean "here take that hardware and start developing the software" - good luck with that. EDIT: If you look the design of all hmds they are all look like DK2, so they took the design more or less from Oculus, took a display put it in some cheap plastic box with straps, create some buggy software and throw it on the market. They did not develop the technology the design and put 0 efforts to develop their software. So what they are selling basicly is chinese smartphone display in a cheap plastic box with stolen design. And you are saying oculus is overpriced and blocking the vr progress :)
  4. Go and use them in dcs then. All that is jiby jaba until we see it actually working. EDIT: I read you post and I cant see you to pointing any HMD that you can buy, plug in your pc and play DCS (in the end this is dcs forum, not vr forum) with it. All I see is some general VR talking for some unfinished HMD projects that some day may happen or forgotten and thats it. You are saying oculus is blocking vr progress.. fine. Might be true but it sounds more like conspiracy theory. Oculus was first anounced and they start selling DK1 back in 2013? (Development kit) for developers, so all developers had the chance to make their software to support oculus 4 or more years ago. Where were pimax or others back then ? It is like someone create a great Operating system now but there is not a single program for it, just an os and someone says hey xxx OS is great, well you cant install anything on it but someday you will. Stop buying windows they are monopol, install xxx and wait for all developers redo thir software to support the new OS. Does it makes sense ? I cant explain it simpler. They all (hmds) might have great displays great everything but without proper support they are useless. Pimax does not work properly with dcs (again we are in dcs forum) and does not have 6dof tracking which is a show stopper for DCS so it is a no go at least for me. As we already saw from some people OSVR image is nowhere near Oculus and software is crap and unfinished so it is useless. When they come with finished working product I would love to buy them, until then they are useless waste of money. And note that I used DK2 and even for a dev kit I never had a single game stoping issue with it, so the software was still good.
  5. Yes, I m using this mod also. Very useful for VR.

  7. Hey Cib, I dont find difference with PD more than 1.5 :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  8. The campaign so far is fun and is good that it is based on Vietnam medevac. Thank you. I had similar issues this mission despite I managed to land where I should, I was not sure till the end where am I going and shall I overfly the waypoints closer. As there was no navigation markings (following a river, hill or whatever) I had to "cheat" with kneeboard marker. Also 3rd mission where you have to land on the top of the hill, again was some guessing and circling until I figure that out. After first 3 missions I would say better briefings and routes based on terrain marking are needed. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  9. 1.4 PD and 4xMSAA for me. Depends on the textures sun position etc.. I can spot ground targets from around 2.5 3.0 miles with vr zoom(except infantry). Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  10. Yeah I know but I prefer it on the bottom as I use it like that the last 20 years :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  11. I would recommend you to get also more RAM and install Windows 10 so you can use ASW. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  12. You can also sell it for almost the same price on eBay. Be prepared to be blown away and dont show it your gf, she might want it for herself :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  13. This is very annoying actually, sometimes I forget to hit alt+enter until I m trying to figure out "what the foxtrot is going o why I can't turn radio on" and for pressing left alt + enter I need both hands and look to the keyboard. Is there any way to make dcs run full screen by default or force it with shortcut? Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  14. Well, not a big deal, you are not constantly changing them only on fence in and fence out. And once you get used to you dont really need to check. Just press roe mode twice and they goes to free fire :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  15. You can see gunners roe mode and ammo in the bottom right corner when hit the esc key. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  16. Whatever the reason vive and oculus are the only one fully usable currently. I would love to pay 300 or more for pimax or whatever other vr that works for my needs. Currently neither pimax or osvr does, so for me spending money on them doesn't make sense. I want to enjoy vr now as I do last year and don't want to wait indefinite amount of time for whatever reason to enjoy something I can do now. There is no such thing as overpriced, if something is selling and makes profit the price is good. People pay 700 euro for a simple Iphone, I have a Chinese for 150 because it works and spend the rest for the rift. 500 euro for such technology and the fun it brings me is not such drama.

  17. Actualy if you can get one very cheap it might worth trying it just to see if you like VR. You can actualy enjoy it until it works (it could be months even a year) or sell it back immediatley and get your money back. I guess they are still easy to sell on ebay for reasonable price. Actualy I managed to get one in july for 180 euros and sell it later for 300 before getting cv1 :)
  18. OP, Did you check https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=180204&page=26 a lot of opinions there.
  19. With I7 4790 and gtx970 with oculus - huey, m2k, all fc3, a10, ka50, mig15, mi8, dora and p51d I have good enough performance, cant say any of them to be better or worse. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  20. I don't want to protect oculus or something it is just the only one that is currently working pretty much fine. I can't see why blame oculus for pimax failing to produce 6dof tracking and fairly comfortable headset. Yes, it is cheaper but it just lack so many. It might have a little sharper image but it is uncomfortable, heavy, cheaper made, has only 3 dof tracking and many more flows, it is basically useless, so paying 350 for something unusable is more expensive than 600 for something that works. Also note that oculus gives you xbox controller and remote control. Pretty much the same goes for osvr and it is even more expensive and useless. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  21. Well if the rift is half product how osvr is a full one? It simply does not work and cost $400 which is not cheap for something that the only thing can do is to collect dust. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  22. Well cv1 is out for about an year and dk2 for more than 2. It will be no less than another year for next gen headset. If this is "soon" no thanks. I enjoy what we have now and will certainly enjoy next gen and the one after etc.. When the 2nd generation comes you can decide to wait for 3rd and this can be forever :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  23. And in the future some kind of impulses gives you feeling like you are touching the switch/button or whatever :) Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  24. Obviously.. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
  25. Agree, this is why I said squadron for real sim, and blue flag or whatever other public server for some arcade style shooting. It was similar discussion for navigation with f10 map. We want from the devs to build great modules with full systems and in the end navigating with f10 map and comunicating with ts. It doesn't make sense to me. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
