    HP Reverb 2 Set Up

    in Virtual Reality

    Posted

    Hi

    First foray into VR and slightly stumped. I have installed the Reverb G2 and it works. Mixed reality portal slightly confusing but not really bothered about that. I have enable VR in the right hand DCS settings tab but when I launch DCS it stays on the desktop ? Should it automatically go to the headset or do I have to do something. I have the downloaded beta version and nothing related to steam installed. Am I right in supposing DCs should drive the headset directly ? Thanks for any help given.

    Someone Please Invent a BETTER Headtracker

    in PC Hardware and Related Software

    Have a look at Tobii Eye / Head tracker. Quite expensive. I have just purchased V5 and it works great. I would not go back to the hat / headphone variants as I have had both. DCS supports the device natively. It can also work in FS2020 with headtracking only, using Facetrack NoIR with a couple of plugins from their website. Works very well and nice to fly without a hat. V4C works as well and those can be bought of ebay for reasonable sums.

    Throttle and ICP 4 Way switch

    in DCS: F-16C Viper

    Should I need to press to Cycle the After burner Detent Switch to get into reheat ? I kept hitting the stop and when I saw a video of the throttle rocking up I checked the manual and found no info on it.

    Building my own USB ICP. Does anyone know wher to buy the 4 way rocker switch. Thanks for any help.

    V1.5 Activation

    It is there on the main VEAO site but with the release of DCS 1.5 it was one place I did not look. To many places to search for issues. The only other one I had was the missing MSVCP120.dll which was a show stopper until I found the answer on one of the DCS topics.

    Perhaps it is time for a clean up of the VEAO forums as there is a lot of stuff that probably needs clearing out. Can't see the wood for the trees !

    Thanks for responses and appreciation for what you have achieved. Easy to criticise but few have produced what you have. Looking forward to the Typhoon.

    V1.5 Activation

    I've downloaded the file via the module manager and I get V 1.2.1643180.9-9.exe When I run it it points to the DCS world folder. If I point to the open beta folder it responds with DCS world 1.2.16.43180 must be installed. Consequently I cannot get the hawk to install. I probably just copied it over originally from the working DCS world folder, hence no animations. I bought direct from you and not as a DCS download.

    Tried repair and update but no joy. Within the open beta module manager the hawk shows up as installed but no key. Tried the activation .exe within the bin directory and it seems to work but still not serial number and the model is still frozen. I tried pointing the installer to the open beta directory but it doesn't like that.

    Hi

     

    Installed open beta V1.5 and downloaded Hawk V1.2.16.43180.9-9 exe from module manager from within open beta 1.5 . Aircraft is not activated ie no animations of controls. Tried to activat used the .exe file within the bin directory and it appears to activate but still not working.

    There is mention of hotfix but I cannot find it.

    How do you get it to work ? Can you have it working with it also installed in the current release.

    Thanks for help in advance

    Hi

    I upgraded my motherboard/processor and retained existing SSD, RAM and graphic card. I did not deactivate DCS. When the renewed machine booted it went into windows without problem. I was expecting to reinstall the operating system and DCS later.

    DCS reports Activation Key is Not valid etc. I tried reactivating option and it appears to work. ie reactivation number drops. However cockpits are frozen. Repeated this 3 times so far and I cannot fly.

    How do I solve this ? ?

    Thanks

    Axis Assignment

    in Controller Profiles and Problems

    Posted

    Using Cougar on the DCS A10C, but unable to assign the HOTAS Slew Horizontal and Vertical to mouse X and Mouse Y. This is used in my foxy profile on FC2 without a problem to control the TDC.

     

    I want to use the microstick as mouse. Assigning the microstick to create the ; , . : keys causes me no end of problems as the stick generally produces a constant stream of keystokes.

    F15 Sound Problem

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted

    Could some one tell me how to adjust/modify the F15 cockpit sound. When I am in the cockpit there is a constant roaring sound. Occasionally it dissapears. If I load any other aircraft ie A10 the cockpit is virtually silent. Once I go ack to the F15 the roaring starts immediately. Tried a sound pack today. Different sounds but the F15 still has the constant roaring.

    Thanks for any help.

    Flaming Cliffs Multiplayer Problem

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted

    hi

     

    I have a problem where when I start the multiplayer mission I enter the cockpit and the engines are stopped. The throttle moves but the side stick has no effect on the controls. The F keys work and so do most of the others as far as I can tell.

     

    Is there some way to start the engines ? I have the same problem on the client machine. I can see the other players so the multiplayer mission / set up works but I cannot get the aircraft going.

     

    Training, single player, missions, campaigns etc all work well with my cougar freetrack set up. It just this multiplayer problem.

    Graphic Problem

    in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2

    Posted

    I have the latest forceware driver for my Nvidia 8800 GTS card. Makes no difference. I have tried all sorts in the graphic options but nothing seems to help. I have also noticed the change of resolutions seems to make no difference which I find very odd.

     

    I have installed flamming cliffs 3 times no with the same result. Lock on worked fine.

     

    System

    Asus p5N32 e SLI ,Vista 32 bit, EVGA 8800 GTS 640 MB ACS Edition.

    Hi

     

    Tried as suggested but the result is the same. I down loaded fresh flamming cliffs 1.1 and the patch 1.12b

     

    As before the graphics is fine with Lock on V1.0. As soon as I install flaming cliffs V1.1b the problem appears.

     

    I cannot seem to get a screen image or frame rate using suggested keys ? All other keyboard commands seem ok.

     

    All help in resolving this problem greatly appreciated.

    Help Please

     

    I have posted before re graphics problem ie Cockpit detail missing , I can see the hud image ,mirrors ,reflections, throttle levers and hands for the instruments but no panel, its transparent ? The sky, clouds, ground detail is fine. External shots all aircraft white with no skin detail. The main menu has the clock hands offset to the right and the legends for the aircraft selections are misplaced.

     

    I cannot seem to take a print screen either. If some one could tell me how I will post a picture of the problem.

     

    With lock on installed clean from disk - all ok

    Lock on with patch 1.02 - all ok

     

    Flaming cliffs 1.1 - problem appeared

    Patch 1.1b - No difference

     

    Previous replies suggested my radeon card was dated and the probable cause. Just installed EVGA 8800GTS with 640 MB memory and latest drivers. The problem is the same.

     

    Hopefully some one knows the answer / fix.

    Graphics Problem

    in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2

    Posted

    I have

     

    Installed V1 from disk - Graphics fine

    Upgraded to V1.02 from downloaded file. - Graphics fine

    Upgraded to flaming cliffs 1.1b via download - graphics screwed up. Chost cockpits / White aeroplanes / Offset clock and legends in the main screen.

     

    Installed this lot twice with the same result. Now down to 3 activations with star force ?

     

    I have a Nvidia card on order so the last message may be the cure.ie ATI x600 radeon the culprit.

     

    All other sims ie FSX / Falcon 4 all work fine.

     

    Also How do you get a screen shot ? ? I will then post the problem.
