Crunchy

Does DSR make much of a difference in DCS? To be honest, I can't tell so that's why I'm asking, I must be doing something wrong if it does make DCS look better.

Anymore news on an English cockpit yet?

What is all this talk about lower FPS ect? Surely, if they can increase FPS then they would do it wouldn't they? Makes no sense to implement something that everyone was happy with like in 1.5.0 and then introduce lower FPS again in 1.5.3. Why would this problem be gone in 1.5.0 and come back in 1.5.3? I'd also like to bee in a VR squadron, if you make one.

Yes, can wait to see it in NTTR aswell though, because it looks amazing in DCS 1.5. Have they done something to make the image shaper in DK2, because to me it looks so much clearer with Runtime 1.3? Did anyone else notice this or am I just imagining it looks clearer?

The best way to get good frame rates is to set view distance to medium and shadows to medium. I think setting to medium is fine in the DK2 because of it's crappy Resolution. Can anyone else confim that NTTR 2.0 isn't working with Runtime 1.3 on DK2?

Damn, I hope not, but atleast I know it's not just me with the problem. I was really looking forward to playing NTTR with Runtime 1.3 :(

Does NTTR work with Runtime 1.3 on DK2? I can only get DCS 1.5 running. When I try to run 2.0 NTTR, it just starts on my computer screen and not in DK2?

I just have to say the word "center," because I use Voice Activated Command. This works really well in the Rift and saves me pressing lots of different switches.

Are you from the future? Instead of asking what the CV1 is like can I ask you what CV2 is like? Joking apart, from what I've heard is like 480p and the screen door is 30% better. However, lots of people are complaining about a lens flare. So lens flare might have replaced screen door for been the most annoying thing.

Thanks Yurgon, that was a very interesting read. I look forward to sensor fusion because it looks to make things even simpler for a pilot.

I've just been reading about Radar on the Internet and came across this website (link Below.) I'm sure I have seen people talk about flying low so you are masked by the terrain objects, but according to this thread it's not always a good idea. What is Radar like in DCS when flying low below 5000ft and can you place radar on hills like this website suggests? https://www.quora.com/Air-and-Missile-Defense-How-does-flying-at-low-altitude-allow-aircraft-to-avoid-radar-detection

Where abouts would this control be?

How do you place your Radar on the top right screen like that? This would come in real handy for me.

Just one more thing and thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate it. If he picks me up on Radar but not on his RWR, then I presume he can't identify the aircraft he is looking at correct? So with my Radar off he can't identify me unless he can visually see me?

So, like I said above, it's good to switch it off at times, even if it's just to be invisible on his RWR for a bit?

So would I be right in thinking that it is a bit pointless turning my Radar off when looking for targets? Maybe switching it off if i want to be a bit less detected from someones RWR at other times? I hope this is right after these great comments.

I think I get what you are saying, but what happens when you switch your radar ON? Do you suddenly just flash up on someones Radar where if you had left it off that wouldn't of happened? Are other aircraft alerted to you as soon as you switch your Radar on, like you have turned on a beacon? Also, what about a RWR like in the A10C, does this been switched on also give you away? Cheers!

Where do you get the VR patch to play Cliffs of Dover? I wouldn't mind having a look at that.

Why would they do that when they are making a map for WW2 planes?

Might be a daft question to some people, but I'm really trying to learn the basics here. I'd just like to know if you are more invisible to other Aircraft if you have your own Radar switched off, or do other aircraft pick you up just the same on their radar? I've just become a bit stuck regarding the radar :helpsmilie:

Do you mean lock it once on the Radar and then on the HUD when it gets close enough? Or do you mean Lock it two times in the Radar? I'll check again, but I'm sure I locked it once in the Radar and then it just automatically locked in the HUD once the target got close enough.

This is the only thing I don't like and wish they could fix. I keep having to move my head backwards and forwards to be able to use the switches. Didn't the Dev have Runtime 1.3 so they could get it ready when it was released? That's the thing that annoyed me about Oculus not allowing proper Devs Runtime 1.3 until now. Also, I thought Runtime 0.8 had Time warp implemented, but now I'm told it didn't and that it's Runtime 1.3 that has this feature? Is this true because the Devs will be able to put it to good use if it's true. I thought I had seen someone mention it was used in Runtime 0.8, so I'm curious to know if this was correct?

Does the missile auto lock when in range now because I found I never had to press lock a second time? Also, does it act similar to the magic missile then when using radar? Thanks

Take a look at the pic I just uploaded please. This shows I'm using the 53OD missile. Now take a look at the HUD and please tell me if this is correct? Before I would see the lock as a small circle in the small square. This looks more like when I use Magic Missile, but like I say I haven't played much lately. BTW: This is with radar ON which I locked the aircraft with first. I then thought you had to lock the aircraft again with the 53OD, by placing a large circle over the square?

I haven't had chance to play DCS lately, but after some patching it appears that my 53OD missile is acting like i'm using the Magic missile on my HUD? I keep getting two circular rings and the message TiR instead of getting the circle in the square when you lock with the 53OD missile? Is this a known bug or what could it be?
