Wireless VR Flight Simming - Everything in One Thread
Nodak replied to Tensorial_Architect's topic in Virtual Reality
Keep your batteries, that'll always be a weak link. Proprietary batteries, and their weight mounted on your head, just another failure point. For flight sims it's not as if we need to nor want to walk around. If you got the cash to continually throw a new VR headset on every year that may be the way to go, but for scale of economy through long term operation and reliability tethered will never be beat using a quality built HMD. -
Turn off the security features in your bios that win 11 requires for an update and it will tell you your Win 11 is ineligible to upgrade to the latest version. You can stay on 23 forever and still get updates.

OK thanks, hope it also resets position completely to the default center X,Y,Z on the planet Vulcan.
-
It's awful without it, see they added the option to center the HMD by hitting the volume button for three seconds. The big problem there is many of us never purchased nor wanted had controllers, and the app that opens don't work with a mouse, you can't even shut it dowm. Some games are almost unplayable now, the alignment is so out of whack upon start with no more easy solution. Can we get it back, or can we go back to the old play with this newer firmware?

Go to the files on launcher and wait, it will take a while and the wheel will spin, in a few minutes it will refresh the modules list and allow the download of Germany. Same with the purchase on main site, refresh is your friend. Middle continent North America, map is over half downloaded.

First run 502, second attempt 504, server is AWOL.

Pimax's measures to mitigate the impact of the US tariffs
Nodak replied to jaapgrolleman's topic in Pimax
Nice, with a US factory humming I'll be using the Amazon store when production catches up. The most convenient option, just pay for the thing and be done. If there's any major issues it can be sent right back to the store, no messing around. -
Remastered- SEA livery tail numbers covering insignia.
Nodak replied to swartbyron's topic in Bugs and Problems
Still not correct, too high, the first zero should be no more than 2/3 it's own height above the bottom of the vertical stab where it mates to the fuselage. The cut out colored drawing is correct, the in game model screenshot is more than the height of the 010 by almost a factor of 1.5. That's an error double the regulation standard. -
First timer in VR world - Which one to choose?
Nodak replied to Vnavspeed's topic in Virtual Reality
Under $1000 you can throw the wide FOV requirement out, not happening with any latest gen HMD. Over I'd wait just a bit, the Pimax Supers are shipping in two days, in another week we should be seeing actual flight sim users with initial impressions and reviews to follow. It meets both requirements on paper at least so far. -
I did say temporary solution, as of now you got squat, its definitely slightly better than nothing. Besides it wouldn't be a bad feature for the library in itself.

Nodak replied to swartbyron's topic in Bugs and Problems
Air Force TO 1-1-4 specifies the serial will be placed 2/3 the height of the serial number block, above the bottom of the tail fin. -
So why can't a skin select menu option be added to the library? It already selects a new livery every time you flick back and forth between two airplanes, objects, or vehicles. In it you can zoom and rotate with nice inspection ability already there, to easily line paint parts up. It's quickly accessible and far faster than firing up missions and having to fly the things to examine them. Right now the library is not very handy, but only because you can't self select the skin, how hard would it be to give that option, could be a quick fix temporary solution.

If you don't start it using the Games profile page with a DCS specific profile the settings being used in game from the Games page are going to be the default ones, not the profile settings. Not so important if DCS is the only game on your rig, but can be a problem if it isn't, such as quadviews crashing another game or not switching on in DCS.

Might be the year of the Dragging?

Had the same issue, stuck in a limbo offline state error 0. Funny thing I wasn't in an offline state prior to patching, did the DNS trick and I had access to most 3rd party modules but no multiplayer or DCS modules. My offline.bin was inside the config folder in saved games, set everything right once deleted and game launcher restarted.

Over 98,000 sorties in Korea, how do you not include it.
-
Fire up Pimax Play, left side select 'Settings', than turn on the 'Public Test Channel', than hit the 'Check for updates' button top right. It works now and will offer you the option to update to 1.37.01.01

Same bug in a Pimax Light.

Not ever happening with that nose, it doesn't belong. Wish they'd made the radome's interchangeable like the helmet. Was in the force when the old aggressors were still around and the shark nose will never quite look right to me. Curiously the old AI model does it right.

ACMI range targeting pod that works and could give user feedback on any simulated selected weapon fired all avaliable on the stations panel in sim mode, maybe some day. You could drop all kinds of bombs all day long on a training range single sortie without actually carrying any and keep accurate score by a range officer on a range card. DCS ACMI Range module. Than afterward you could watch your range recorded fights and attack profiles, or watch an entire battle over the range. See it from any aircraft view that is equipped with a pod. Would need a Nellis range and map upgrade, the perfect spot for it. A dynamic campaign would already be half the work, you'd just need it to record and play out non-lethal, with simulated destroyed aircraft changing mode and exiting the range.

Stick and elevator positioning coordination isn't logical since most of the modern jets flight controls aren't even directly connected, the stick sends requests to the servo's which do the actual movement of the controls to the position the CADC tells them they're permitted to move, even in many a non fly by wire. Once power and pressure is off, the stick can still be moved, but it's not moving anything except itself. Era of direct connect bell cranks, cables, and pulleys to a flight control is pretty much long gone, they connect either electrically or mechanically to a servo controller, or a computer controlling a servo controller. Pretty sure that's already modeled with power and pressure on in game, as for matching the stick to an control may want to limit that to the WWII stuff where it applies. Even some of those aircraft came equipped with external crew placed control locks like the C-47's for both elevators and rudder for high wind conditions. MB-339 comes equipped with a stick forward lock, and is in the locked position on cold starts.

Their engineers worked diligently and quickly when I had issues with a new base, parts were immediately sent once the issue was known. They gave the option to return or do the swap out myself. Couldn't ask for more from my perspective, had great communications with engineering despite the language barrier and they didn't leave me in the lurch. Patients has always been required on ordering with Virpil, my original series one throttle from 2017 is still running strong as a T-34, feel absolutely no degradation or wear anywhere in it, couple thousand hours at least on it in the last eight years. Small company with top notch gear, you just have to wait a bit, it has gotten better, the rudders came really fast compared, in a mere two weeks.

Their website malfunctioning was enough to put me off. Lucky for me the control panel I wanted was available on Amazon where one gets the option to send it back.

And that's never going to happen because the CPU hardware is to wide and varied, it simply isn't fit for universal use. It's up to your own due diligence and research to see if your specific CPU and hardware combination will benefit. There are CPU's where using it will cause only harm like some of the AMD x3D series.
