i really like how the new M60D fires... it puts the UH1H M60D to shame...

As a motion simulation enthusiast, i come to realize 3 years later that there is no one size fits all profile. Each aircraft is specific and my not work And the profile highly depends on the game telemetry export. I am compiling an excel spreadsheet to notate which telemetry data is active during a gaming session. Tuning a profile is a pain. hoping that this might help myself and others when it comes to cueing motion from DCS World spreadsheet work in progress! open air telemetry tune for roll / pitch add yaw and tune (only yaw) tune for roll / pitch / yaw add heave and tune (only heave)

if you are using mouse or joystick, make sure you set options in the CH47 special settings menu to set the behavior for doorgun useage.. with what ever you want... mouse , joystick or aim by face...

is the extension something u made, or purchased... photo and simFFB settings to share?

trying out DCS version 2.9.7.58923 the sa342 minigun variant still has the limited slew range problem when mapped to a joystick. hoping for a future fix.

just tried out the CH47 when to take a peek to see if doorgun functionality exists, and to my surprise, IT DOES!!! not only that i can play as a doorgunner in VR, but i can use the doorgun with joystick or mouse!! thank you ED team for this. cant wait for the M3M .50 cal, and the ramp gunner position in future update.. but the modern M60 is pretty amazingggg!! AMAZING!

when i request rearm repair, there is a momentary drop of fps..

how is it working for you? i like to setup my pc for the MSSFF2... just ordered on from ebay.

u guys still using MS FFB2 joysticks?

not of major importance, but wondering why the gunner body model animations are not working when playing back a track file? online multiplayer multicrew, it is working properly (OK) (fast forward to 6:00)

i would like to see a DCS FC Bomber. perhaps a B-25 mitchell, or Ju88 an aircraft with turrets!! i would think a Flaming cliffs level multicrew B17 would be less hard to program than a full fidelity B17 bomber in any case, a multicrew FC aircraft would be nice

The other day I was in a discord forum of virtual reality enthusiasts. A few were sim racers and I shared how amazing my dcs experiences were. They asked what should they get, I recommended to them the free Su25T and flaming cliffs 2024. I highlighted to them that these aircraft are more controls friendly than full fidelity, especially when using a mouse to perform actions but you can not see your mouse. I explained to them that a hotas should cover most functions to start playing and hopefully not get a frustrating experience which could otherwise ruin the initial impressions that could make or break someone new getting into dcs. It would be nice to see multicrew flaming cliffs level fidelity aircraft in the future, especially when it comes to having new ppl coming into the scene.. Flaming cliffs 2024 is a good thing along with the full fidelity modules!!

so many DLC's for this bird.. i just like to see the GAU-21 M3M .50 cal and laser point like the gazelle minigun the UH1Y would be nice.. but updated UH1H appreciated!

after recent test, i have found that in the gunner position firing the minigun has proper sound as the gunner (when centered in place) how ever if i am in VR as the gunner, and i physically move out of my position, the minigun sound is diminished as i get further away from the minigun and it starts to sound like cannon rounds.. the same cannon sounds that multicrew pilot and copilot hears so it seems like a spatial distance problem? new observation @Flappie

My diy minigun joysticks being upgraded with hall sensors.. I super look forward to the ramp gunner position with M3M .50 cal later in development of CH47. Keep going ED team!

get the virtual desktop app on quest store.. u might find someone that has a friend discount code.. but u also need a proven wifi 6E or 7 router..

I'm a quest pro user.. basically a wifi router, virtual desktop, quadviews and openxr tool kit? Is that all that is needed to be running now? I didn't look at your links yet @slughead

The BE9300 is awesome. I use it with my quest 3 setup. But I use link cable for my quest pro

As quest pro user, out of date on using VD and quadviews... until now I was fine with meta link software and openxr tool kit... I also have eye tracking turned off because I found it just drains battery quicker.. What do I have to do to get quest pro on quad view and VD up and running? I already have a wifi 7 router... @slughead

cant thank @mbucchia enough.. i dont want to call him marvel jesus.. but perhaps VR jesus!

i have uninstalled OpenXR toolkit and rebooted PC and it was still crashing for me this did not work for me either.. uninstalling openXR toolkit did not work. dcs crashing no matter what on the v68 meta link software (and i am not on PTC beta channel)

meta automatically updated meta link software to version i am not subscribed to Public Test Channel Meta Quest Link App Version 68.0.0.433.361 (68.0.0.433.361) disabling OpenXR toolkit does not help, also uninstalled openXR toolkit and rebooted PC, and still not success. I can not start up DCS in VR (desktop mode works ok) DCS is kaput for me with meta quest link dcs.log

screenshot looking toward the pilot cabin....(NOT AFT) the copilot and pilot dont want me to see what they are doing..

Running DCS version DCS 2.9.6.58056 Experiencing a weird graphical bug When sitting in the gunner position. when looking forward of the aircraft, i no longer see the pilot and copilot. instead it is like grey panel wall that covers everything of the forward cockpit.. before i can see the pilot and copilot, along with helmets turning around in multiplayer but this is no longer the case i can not see anything but only a grey wall... can not see wind shield, the instruments, the pilots, when sitting in the gunner positon
