If you dont mind, may I ask what kind of Jet you fly for real? Sorry, but I´m just curious :)

nevermind

Thanks, that was a good explanation. By the time the Viggen was released I was stuck to another game anyways thus I did not noticed any of that. But as you said...I´m curious as well how this will turn in...at the end, there´re always folks around who aren´t glad if they cant moan around.

Issue seems to be solved. He had his Piceldensity set to 2 (Monster rig) and by reducing back to 1.7 the issue disappeared and since then does not came back again...so I´d say that this isse is solved. EDIT: not 2, but 2.5 so max Pixeldensity caused the issue. I've tested it on my Rift and it did not caused that problem, thus I consider it a Vive related Problem. Its reproducable by the way, we've tested it with another one who owns the Vive and it caused the same Artefact/issue/whatever as well.

Everybody refers to Viggen Release, all I can remember is that it suddenly were available. What happened back there? (I dont have the Viggen and I´m not interessted in it, just to mention)

Eagle Dynamics decided to shut down the Wiki (no ressources to dedicate to ED Wiki) thats why all information are lost. I talked to nineline and wait on his response, sorry ☹

my squadron is OB only, I haven´t stable even installed at all and we´re experiencing no issues

I´ve got to say that I´m quite impressed actually. I´ve checked the availability from known Modules and have to say, that each of them is available via steam store. That was different a while ago, when Modules became available in steam on final release...so my suggestion is...use either way what you want. You´re good to go with both...steam or Standalone. There´s no difference anymore and you can join any Server, no restrictions. Only restriction is on the technical aspect for Workarounds that handle the Standalone Updater, but thats the only "disadvantage" I know so far.

Thanks for your reply. The Problem is that he runs DCS via steam and not Standalone. Is there a way to delete/alter those specific shader files manually and run a steam repair afterwards?

Check my Signature 16GB RAM is Minimum, better you get 32GB and DCS installed on a SSD. EDIT: whats the issue?

Nope, Wags has stated that it was pushed back for the benefit of other modules. They consider the F-4 not as worthy ase.g the Hind, Cobra or the F-16

Hello everybody. A friend of mine has an issue with his Vive. Its hard to explain, thats why I just post his images here. may be someone knows somethings about it. those illuminated interferences are coming up roundabout 30 seconds after he´s getting ingame. The color of the light appears in different colors. Sometimes green, sometimes orange, but mostley white. The issue wasnt present from the very first start in VR, he told me that he flew roundabout 5 hours without any issues. DCS is the only VR Game where this issue appears. His PC specs: i7 7700k, 32gb ddr4, gtx 1080ti 11gb ddr5, game installed on hdd He registered an account but is still waiting for his permission to post. He´ll be around then to answer question (if any comes up). I´d forward them to him meanwhile. thanks in advance, any help is apreciated. regards Memphis

ur welcome :)

well, thats what makes the difference between the Hornet EA and the Tomcat EA. The Hornet was lacking major and important features to be available on initial release, thats why it was/is still in Alpha. Heatblue/Cobra mentioned that the Tomcat will have all major features available on day 1...feature complete. It is but still in development and thus called a Beta. At least according to the official Alpha/Beta/RC Definition. But each developer might have different views on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle

The only thing I´m really sad about is that the F-4E was set back to nowhere, BST has made an interessting Progress when plans have changed. Sure, thats for the benefit of other great Projects...but I was so happy when the F-4E was announced by BST. I think ist not too sarcastic when I say, I can be happy to see her within the next decade :cry:. of course the above represents just my Point of view, others will have a totally different view on this.

As far as I know its Early Access, so open Beta. The only difference to the other EA releases is that the Tomcat will be feature complete...at least for the B - Version. The A- Version is scheduled to be released later on.

Raijin, you´re pretty new to the DCS Community, as from what your Registration date represents and your amount of Posts you´ve posted so far. I can garantuee when I say that all your Anger about not having a specific release date will turn into a General Anger about DCS and ED and all their 3rd Partie Dev Teams if you´re not changing your attitude. See my Registration date for example and let me tell you what ED and the Community has gone through together. Sometimes it was great and sometimes it was pure Anger from Situation like the current one...or at least similar. The Information Politics that ED is following today results of many Trials and Errors in the effort to provide the best possible Information flew to the Community...The Problem is that Software development never...NEVER...follows the imaginations and wishes of the developer. Thats why it is in most cases not possible to determine a release date if it is absolute certain, that this date is definately set into Stone. ED learned that the hard way...and so did we. Let me tell you that you´ll feel very more confident by not constantly checking the Forums for an announcement whether it´s a release date or the release itself and don´t get mad about the Developer Team decisions. Just relax and fly another Module or better, play a different Game until your favourite Module is available. It´ll save your nerves, time and will not get threads closed due to havey distractions or improper comments.

Holy Cow guys, let them do their work and stop blaming where is no reason. HB has stated clearly on Pre Purchase that it will be available this Winter, that specific timeframe reaches from...well you know for your self when it starts and ends. I´d like to have it in hands as well, but I respect their decision to reach their own threshold for release.

Oh boy, there you´re saying somethings...and it does absolutley not sound stupid...I was flying the Hornet today in VR and wanted to check whether a certain Button moves on the Throttle when I was giving input on my THW, but the (virtual) left leg covered the Throttle and thus I moved my leg to see the Throttle...boy, that was a strange feeling when realizing that you´re actuzally sitting on your own chair in your room hahaha

dont forget the Pilot Body :).

Holy shit the waiting is really hard. I´ve hopes for a mid January availability as well, but of course I have March 21st in mind first. I really hope that HB get it done without any further issues and can wrap up the release Candidate quickly.

your expactations and standarts are indeed pretty low, the A-10c lacks certain features and up to date textures...

I´m using the Rift now since roundabout 5 Month now and I tell you that I only run DCS in 2D (Screen) to adjust my Options. For me it´s VR only since then. The beginning was quite intense because you´ll get a totally different sense of depth by looking out of the Cockpit. But you´ll adapt to it quite easily, this is the Moment when you say...never ever again in 2D... Sure, you have to say good by to awesome grapfics and high Resolution, but with a mid class PC like my one (check my Sig) you´ll get decent framerates to enjoy DCS in all ist aspects. I´ve read about Trouble with typing while beeing in VR, well that might indeed happen, but I recommend Voice Attack. It´s a Programm that you can buy via steam and it is part of sales pretty much regulary. If not, so it´s just somethings around 11€ (currently in sale for roundabout 8-9€) --> https://store.steampowered.com/app/583010/VoiceAttack/ if you live in the US, so do the math :).

How´s the Website development going on? Will there be somethings like a shop later on?

I had a chat meanwhile with NineLine about this, to make it short and as mentioned above, if the Community can make sure that the Wiki will keep maintained, so there´s a good chance that we´ll get it back. There´ve been so much spam registrations and spams in general that it doesnt make sense for ED to keep it running. So to be precise, the amount of work for a group of people around the wiki will be quite impressive. The question is...are people willing to do this? I will start a poll by the beginning of the new year to figure this out.
