But it fixed itself? Mine didn’t, but I didn’t wait long

Think I may return mine. In addition to all the usual issues, the ratchet that holds it in place forward and back keeps letting go. I do mash it pretty tight to my face to try and maximize FOV, but I don’t see longevity in its future. Disappointing... Maybe the Reverb...

Louis Gossett Jr (Chappie) would be better for an IP!

Huh, you’re the first other report I’ve heard of this. Well at least misery loves company! (Not that this issue causes me misery, it’s just the saying! First world problems, right?)

You can control the flex sight in the Huey with headtracking, while also flying, if you go to the #2 slot (copilot), activate the sight and turn off autopilot. It’s a hoot of a time, but I too would love to see the Apache and control that 30mm cannon with my monocular... :pilotfly:

:notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

Cool! Takes me back to my military flight training. I let my sister fly our Level D sim during my graduation day. She was.... less successful than you, but she'd never played DCS :pilotfly:

Na, very well lit room - I do have LED bulbs, but I don’t imagine that plays into it. A google search reveals no one else either... perhaps it’s a defective unit.

Hey everyone, Anyone else have this issue? Twice in the last 3 days, my Rift S has lost 6DOF tracking and reverted to 3DOF. The only way to fix it was to unplug the USB and plug in again. I haven’t heard of any other issues, anyone?

I have an L shaped desk, with a small table on the other side of my chair for the throttle. I just place the controllers on the surfaces right next to my stick and throttle, very easy to find when I need them.

They work pretty much identically.

Had a weird issue today where tracking reverted to 3DOF. Restarting oculus didn’t work, I had to unplug the USB and plug in again. Also, the microphone would not work, and again I had to unplug and replug. There still seem to be a lot of software issues...

This thread encouraged me to stop pulling the paddle in dogfights. And you know what? It hasn’t changed my kill ratio. I just make sure I’m flying a bit slower (corner for instantaneous 7.5g vs 9g). Most fights devolve to slower speeds where it’s not needed or would bleed speed way too quickly anyway.

I’m going to go against the grain a bit. SDE is still extremely evident to me, especially against a clear blue sky. It is greatly improved from CV1, but by no means is it non-noticeable. Inside the cockpit and menu clarity is worlds better. Outside the cockpit, the difference is barely noticeable. I was hoping for a marked increase in ball clarity, but it’s hardly better at all. At 0.5nm, I still cannot discern if I am one or 2 dots high vice bang on. You can see low because of the red light, but 1 or 3 dots low is not distinguishable. I know I’m in the sweetspot because text clarity is good and I can easily see individual pixels. That darn ball just still isn’t clear... I do have 20/15 uncorrected vision though, so maybe it’s more evident to me. I’ll give it more time, but for now I’m on the fence about whether it’s worth the cost of upgrade.

I’m not saying it’s correct behaviour, just what I’ve observed.

I’ve found this in multiplayer, it seems tied to ping. The higher the ping, the worse it is. I find it extremely hard to get guns kills on players over 200 ping.

So presumably the touch controllers still work in DCS?

I can’t get above 65K. Oh she keeps climbing at a decent 1500fpm, and I still have 10,000lbs of gas... I just get bored :D It would take at least another 20mins to climb to 95K!

*mike drop* Well said. In the end this is a piece of entertainment software.

I have a tracking number, it is definitely enroute!

But it shipped yesterday!! I just want my new Rift! ;)

They are saying delivery by end of day Thursday, so tues + wed + thurs = 3 days :)

Yeah, I don’t know why Thursday. End of day Wednesday would make sense, 2 days after release, but end of day Thursday is 3 days

Mine shipped today from Amazon, but saying arrival on Thursday. I have prime so should be 2 day shipping... maybe it will arrive sooner

They’ve certainly lost some buyers over this. I was going to get the reverb, but after hearing good reviews on the Rift S, I’ve preordered it. If the reverb comes out in time, I may cancel my preorder, and may even return the Rift if within 30 days, but the clock is ticking! I think I’m not alone either.
