  1. The thing is dependent on batteries to operate, that should be a huge fed flag for the stationary flight simmer. The 12K is the one I'll be waiting for, wouldn't even consider this one for my purposes. Another one follows Zucker over the meta cliffs, colossal misdirection and miscalculation, follow the fool but don't listen to your customers. Seems to me they're building stuff to the level their social and stand up crowd doesn't even need or want, let alone willing to pay for, meanwhile we're dying of thirst in the desert.
  2. You getting a power on white light on your connector box? Same happened to me, the power adapter failed, seems DCS with MT it needs more juice, was probably weak already, been continuously plugged in for just over two years. It's basically a laptop power adapter, don't think they were meant to be plugged in full time. Good news is they're abundant and cheap, HP uses pretty much the same one for all their equipment. Plenty of compatible adapters available out there. 19.5Volt, 2.31amp, 45Watt
  3. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenXR\1\ApiLayers\Implicit
  4. From the maker himself off another board. That's the path in the registry to delete them.
  5. If you have more than 'XR_APILAYER_toolkit' and 'XR_APILAYER_XRNeckSafer' show up when you select 'Show Active OpenXR API Layers' on the openXR tab, that's your issue. You need to eliminate the extra garbage from earlier installs out from your registry.
  6. Fire up game first, than start necksafer, or you can try clicking the 'OpenXR' button on the top next to 'options' and select 'Deactivate XRNS OpenXR API Layer'. Both methods get it working for me.
  7. Installed a new 4090 wednesday, so was testing settings the past two days trying to optimize best ones for me with the same mission, AH-64 runway take off Guam, always the same route straight to the two destroyers in the harbor, max fps I could squeak out landing and parked on the destroyers pad was 61, post patch 91, so a definite jump for me. 11900K with 32 ram. First time ever flying across the entire Island out to the carrier group that was good. Only used the map for max stress testing, was basically unplayable, not any longer. Think I can crank up a bit more on eye candy even. It is slower loading in the map, and I had all water and no terrain while waiting in pause for a while. Never happened before, but once loaded she was good to go, buttery smooth flight.
  8. Better off upgrading to a monster 4090 and if necessary the CPU and sticking with the G-2, it's comparable to a HMD upgrade with the extra clarity and improved visuals.
  9. Some day in the future it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to dump the FC-3 plane pack as free. They really won't fit in the line up well for full fidelity servers with fleshed out planes having radios, nav aids, and such. Servers can always cherry pick which ones they'll allow. Pretty sure they've already made their monies on these.
  10. Confusing, if it's a free upgrade to Normandy 44 why is it being offered at 14.99? Or is a partial facelift to their older map, and is the older one a bit smaller perhaps? I don't remember Paris being on it, not that I've flown it much. So in the end do we end up with three Normandy maps?
  11. Osprey, the mission variety is incredible, nearly unlimited possibilities when it comes to the flexibility in using this bird in a campaign scenario, with combat, spec ops, rescue, and logistics support roles all rolled into one.
  12. Necessary for any dynamic cold war era campaigns, at least as AI. Both strategic and tactical roles in one bird, not many other airlifters can stake that claim. Have just over 1200 hours in the back of that bird, most challenging thing I ever did in life, far more work than a herk, did that one too.
  13. News flash, apple harvest delayed as orange harvest ripens earlier than expected. Nothing to be gained, two separate modules by two separate groups. ED would be shooting themselves in the foot by playing favorites and games with these guys. Takes two to tango, whatever happens it's not without agreement between each of the two parties. So who cares, lobbying won't get you a phantom quicker.
  14. Should be making a distinction between game world and real world. In the real world it's a team sport, phoenix don't exist no more, tomcats barely, vipers and hornets are mainly on the same side, so quite capable to hold that line. Game world, does it really matter.
  15. 256 bus in a 4080, vs 320 in a 3080, not so sure that's an ideal trade off in VR for a solid increase, seeing as how a 4090 has a 384 bus. The 4080TI specs are calling for a 320 bus once again. Don't think your gaining much future proofing by going 4080. Bus speed is more important in VR than it is to flat screens, pretty sure it'll be noticed if you move up the resolutions when you upgrade HMD's. If you want to save a nickle wait for the TI, its just around the bend.
  16. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc283785/m2/1/high_res_d/thesis.pdf Good read, his thesis is the Phantom led directly to an urgent need to copy the soviet style of ground controllers, Operation Teaball, which in the end birthed AWACS and rejuvenated the modern fighter aircraft's combat role.
  17. Is there a way to manually change the motion repro tool kit setting outside the game to restore it? Yes, open the toolkit, go into safe mode, it resets everything, fire up the game and reset.
  18. If you haven't been following these guys on discord, this plane has high chances of being one of the best modules for fidelity so far, they have full access to a complete and functional A-7D including a running engine with a full set of complete manuals. University of Tulsa has it and uses it for their aviation and research programs, it's kept in workable condition. They've given the team access and technical support. You can't ask for a better basis for a simulation. They can spend more time implementing over research or learning how the systems work, easier when one has actual working systems to mimic.
  19. There should be a distinct difference in quality of AAA, because radar directed guns with VT fused shells are magnitudes more efficient, allowing higher rates of fire, higher hit rates with vastly increased lethality over any mk1 eyeball manually ranged and directed, mechanically fused shell guns. Radar directed guns could engage within 1.1 mil out to max range and do it in the blind without visual contact, and the VT fuse would detonate the shell when in proximity, no best guess for fusing, visuals, or math required. A battery could set staggered elevations in the blind and pretty much make the kill. They got so good even the V-1's had difficulty getting past requiring the more complex and expensive V-2. The Axis never had anything in its class and went backwards as the war progressed, supply, training, and manpower difficulties ever increasing. Allied batteries as constituted continually shrank in size as they simultaneously increased in effectiveness.
  20. Don't forget a huge bulk of McDonald Douglas employee's also belonged to the Missouri ANG which thus had direct access to the knowledge base and production line with the plant next door. Back than ANG units had very different traditions, those were their aircraft, just like Montana customized all their F-106 cockpits to MIG blue. In the old days pre Desert Storm one. they were actually a distinct and separate command and did not answer to the Pentagram. The Guard Bureau was a power unto itself until the Pentagram had the opportunity to strangle it through mission assignment and funding during the post cold war draw down and realignment, those who failed to bend over were dissolved and stripped of missions and aircraft.
  21. Huh? I see nothing changed in Heatblurs pattern, they aren't official DCS but 3rd party, and they always keep silent until the big drop of their own movie, that's when you can start expecting information releases, not a moment prior. It's been this way on all their products, and a good thing, they can spend the time working instead of playing the losing game of trying to pander to everyone.
  22. You don't have to ask virpil, the Targetware software itself is the limiting factor and tells you all you need to know. Virpil has nothing to do with TM's software's abilities.
  23. Only the very first grip produced, Mongoose T-50 CM-1 version, is compatible with a warthog base, but it hasn't been in production for quite a while. Have one set up and it works fine, the -1 grip has the 4 way only buttons, no 5 press. The only thing that won't work is the grip brake axis, TM software can't see a Z axis, but it will see the button on the grip.
