At least it has few switches. 3 scrolls et voila! However my button box is feeling the abandonment and these shortcuts couldn’t come soon enough.

Still playing it, I am redoing every mission 2-3x. However, unlike the official campaign that is poorly designed, arcady and torturing, I am redoing your missions because they are awesome. Thanks for sharing!

I had the same issue, had to turn on AP during emergency descent (couldn't toggle the 100% switch on VR). I am now convinced it wasnt lack of Oxy, as the gauge was green. I suspect hypothermia! Try lowering or heating up the cabin, especially on a cold OAT. Sadly the visual effects are the same so my initial conclusion was hypoxic hypoxia.

What model spike did you use? I saw several on Amazon and Im not sure which one is compatible. Edit: I used spikes and these from amazon fit, I just added a bushing for better tightening. The only problem is it will damage the carpet over time. I have since cut some plywood and bolted to it. It is awesome now!

The ground crew parking coord update works wonderfully. Thanks!

Yes, I have installed v19 and had to fiddle a bit to make the new “advanced” graphics properties to appear (essentially log out and back in on oculus app). I ran without OTT with link on balanced and the quality is good, with in-game vr ss at 1.8. Curious to know what are your findings with the new settings.

1) The Deka youtube videos with the lady commentator are awesome. Indeed, manual could be huge, but still missing to complete it, along with training missions and a working campaign. 2) Either like the M2KC, an option to skip alignment or where coordinates and elevation are pre-set. I find this part of the startup irritating to say the least, and if it is like this on RL even on home base it is a waste of time. Ill try the suggested ground crew method, that could be a solution. Minor annoyance though, the aircraft indeed feels very complete. 3) Yes, shortcuts. Changing from flares to chaff take forever on VR, for example, precious time especially when you have so little CMs to spare. I do agree that this module is in a good stage, it is completely functional. A decent campaign would go a long way to wrap it up.

The 2s press and wpt 00 worked. And the keypad is genius, but I use PointCtrl instead. :thumbup:

I can confirm this, at least on casual experience. I was using 23GB at one point. I upgraded to 32 and its mostly smooth, but it still drops occasionally to load stuff (15fps on VR will give you a migraine).

Lol, I have the mig-21 but never got around to learn it, much less try the campaign. Perhaps on a future pandemic. I am trying to enjoy it, but it is not possible. Mission 4, failed several times as I wasnt sure what they wanted me to do: fly low and take the pictures avoiding detection or be detected? Also failed after holding for 20 min as I thought they wanted me to wait for the scheduled sam maintenance. Turns out it was the opposite. Mission 5, failed because I took off exactly on time 0605 and passed wp2 0612 on time, but apparently I needed to be on wp3, poorly written or it was a bug.Second attempt failed because I waited for the “thunder” passcode... it never arrived. Instead I was supposed to progress from wp 4 to 5 on “flash,flash flash” or something, or just guess. Third attempt, I dropped the gbu exactly on time, success! Then failed because I spent a bit too long (2 min) programming and heading to the next target. Very frustrating, because it didn’t let me continue, it closed to debrief. I stopped since it is also impossible to edit them and remove stupid game breaking rules without understanding chinese. Again, all failures end the mission abruptly. This is like arcade mode, very annoying. Whoever designed it this way needs to pass the ball to someone else, because the frustration is too high and the challenge comes from interpreting what they want you to do. Deka should really consider hiring someone else to touch up and review this, it is beyond poor.

1) This was during target engagement. I ejected the fuel tanks without any issue, the bomb on target area is not ok? Is that enough reason to fail and make me restart the mission? And that is by far the smallest issue. If that is your thinking, then I stand by my RL pilot customer opinion that this is the worst excuse for a campaign I have ever tried. I have yet to finish a mission smoothly, because of a stupid rule that essentially fails the mission or prevents progressing. Even without ejecting anything the mission would fail to switch waypoints (after reaching waypoint 2 it would tell me to go back to 1 or that I was drifting too much). I think too much focus was spent on trying to make it look cool, with endless intro scenes, a lot of curve balls thrown all around with very little planning and strategy involved and zero fun. I would recommend downloading and playing any Baltic Dragon campaigns to see how it should be done before releasing this thing, it is far from good.

It is the same for me, first, second and third mission the camera dips below ground. To be honest it is one of the worst campaigns so far. On the third mission I hit both targets perfectly, then was told to shoot a drone (restrictions lifted). As soon as I jettisoned my stores the mission failed (unauthorized weapon release). Pretty annoying so far.

I am having sporadic heavy drops (from 47fps to 5fps). It seems that if I look another way it stops immediately, then drops again if I return the view to the previous point. I think texture loading, so maybe I can`t blame JF-17.

I loved it, but now Im having issues and may have encountered a bug. With the JF-17 everytime I engage AB I hear a loud "radio squelch type" static that seems to be on a loop. It wasn`t happening before. Anyone experienced the same?

+2 that would be awesome!

100kt nuke? Worth asking :music_whistling:

I had the same issue, would restart the mission due to a wrong input (it’s hard on vr). Turning off ins wouldn’t work, pressing off on aap too, even turning off battery doesn’t seem to do anything. Will try the method posted.

1) Missing a manual and oficial tutorial missions. 2) I would love to see an option to have the proper ins coordinates, heading and altitude pre-entered. If aircraft is departing home base that would seem more realistic, or an unrealistic auto align to skip it instead. 3) better key binding for countermeasure programming and direct hud functionalities (cmbt, rdr, sms directly). Otherwise fun little plane.

Awesome job as Im still trying to fill the blanks as there is zero supporting documentation or official tutorials. Only a couple of issues that were solved by restarting the mission, caused by me clicking a switch before it was asked etc. The only mission that doesn’t work well for me is M01 cold start, it starts talking about something else and with 3-4 yellow squares around center display and hud/fcp that have nothing to do as the aircraft is unpowered. Regardless, damn fine job! I completed my first successful mission hunting a sa11 and downing two mig 29 with adrenaline kicking hard as i tried to press the correct switches.

Interested on the G2 as well as an upgrade for my Quest and CV1. Does anyone know if they issue refunds for order cancellations prior to shipping? I couldn’t find any info on their weird website, sent an email and even called. My call was transferred to some office guy that had no idea about what a reverb was lol.

The pandemics brought me back to virtual flying. Got my Quest and PointCtrl setup and everything is running great, or at least it was... Now every mission I start with mouse pan enabled on VR. :helpsmilie: I have to either enable “clickable cockpit” to stop panning and/or press F1 to go back to normal “VR HMD” only pan. Not sure what I did to cause this, but I think it happened when I turned off mouse on the settings and then re-enabled. I suspect the default view may have changed and it is now starting as a free camera of sorts, instead of the regular F1 view. EDIT: Solved by saving a new cockpit angle (RAlt+Num0). It didn`t work the first time apparently.

Lol no 3D printer, my hand skills stop at “hammer” or “axe”. Tks!

A repainted 16000M it appears, with a different grip. The color choice is almost as ugly as the real “plane” :smilewink:

Miles, Does the standard cv1 HMD adapter fits the Quest? If so, can I buy a spare one so I don’t have to remove it from my cv1? Tks.

I just came back to DCS after a long pause (8 months), I have updated to the latest version and see the nvg binding on the control options. I also asked the crew chief to install it on ramp, but I cant get it to work. I press the key and a message saying “already switching to nvg” or something like that. Any help is appreciated.
