Uh, have you actually tried VR? stratman59 I suggest you try it yourself vs taking this opinion as it seems to go against the grain of most users who actually use VR with DCS such myself and many other actual daily users of VR DCS. As a VR user yourself you know it's huge advantages even with current gen so perhaps this post is not needed.

Just wanted to add my +1 to this issue. Just got out of a MiG-15 session and came here to report this and see that it has been by others already.

Yes, I am in the Instant Action Free Flight mission. In the air, engines on, generators on. I want to fly level..my nose wants to drop, so I use hat trimmer, it shows in game the input..but nothing. No change in trim. All my controls work fine. Same ones in the M2k give the desired results..same for every other plane. Is there something different about the F-5?

Hello All, I am having an issue where I cannot seem to trim the aircraft at all. I have the controls mapped, no conflicts. I can see the trim hat on the stick move in the correct manner when trying to use them but there is no affect at all on the behavior of the plane. I gotta be missing something simple here. I mean, the controls are listed so I assume I can use them. I for instance have no issue at all trimming other aircraft, M2K works as expected, others..etc Anyone got an idea?

Here is the vid of the AAR attempt in case you haven't seen it. Probe is in view.

Gorgeous new pics. Really amazing looking. Instrument lighting looks real nice. I hope they can eventually enable vectoring for the engine exhausts and some ground deflection effect as well for them as I can just picture how utterly amazing that would look taking off and landing. Got my fingers crossed for the code wizards to perform their magic. Ready to add to my cart when buy button goes live.

They need to implement dithering in the game at the minimum. Without it, we will suffer from this for eternity. And in VR, the issues are magnified 10x what a monitor user sees. DCS is a daylight hours sim for me due to this reason...and the terrible ground lighting....sadly.

Good deal. Did not watch the vid from the YT page, but from an embedded link elsewhere so did not see text comments below it. Sounds like it will be tweaked after other work is taken care of. Awesome.

Oh really? The vid I watched had no commentary, just in game audio. If already on their to-tweak hit list then great. Just in case it wasn't wanted to suggest it and provide some resources that I drew from to back up my suggestion.

I was watching the latest vid and enjoying the VR view I will be enjoying and noticed at 8:57-9:05 a view of the det cord and was curious to ask if maybe it could be looked at again to perhaps improve it a bit? It just seems very segmented and looks lower res than rest of modelling as pic below shows. And the fact it stretches across the canopy view means it will be in constant view. Could it be improved? Also, see this pic And this vid (Just amazing in-cockpit vid..watch it anyways!) Neither exhibits the curve as in the latest dev vid..Is it an optical illusion? Anyways, I look for low hanging fruit in my critiques so hopefully this is one that maybe you could consider reviewing. Will leave my request to see if nav lights can get rid of the glow ball effect for later..lol. But looking real good. Very excited for it's early access availability.

Yeah I got a friend who lived in the region and he said maybe after a rain it was that dark but not under normal everyday conditions. But, I just saw these posted today and terrain looks more correct in color so things are looking better. https://imgur.com/a/2QxQ9#QkYaLqw :thumbup:

Just been looking at aerial shot for Dubai and surrounding areas via Google Images and Bing Images and noticed how off the screenshots we has seen so far for SoH are in regards to the 'sand/terrain' color depicted. Has anyone else noticed this? It all seems way too brown. I mean the beaches at the water line are this dark brown color. I of course know it is a WIP so do not need to be reminded, as that is why I am asking if the W can be expanded to correct this. Will this be reviewed and possibly corrected prior to release? If not planned, can it be reviewed by the team? I would think correcting prior to release would be optimal vs post. Hopefully this is considered and if so thank you.

Airspace?

lol..it does like to collect dust. I wish it would find a new hobby and find something new to collect. But nothing a damp cloth wipe once a week can't resolve until it does.

I have 2 soft bladed fans on my desk I turn on for VR driving and flying, and sure also if hot during summer of course. I like em and they make my desk look like it can fly.

Reports like this have been being made since Rift and Vive were released..over a year ago. I have made a couple threads on this and posted screenshots and also pointed out that a lack of dithering is at play here and that night time VR usage is just terrible for reasons not just due to the lack of dithering but how lights/stars are rendered in game as well as somehow a mauve color tint that occurs at night in a bunch of textures(hell, all the screens OP posted have the same mauve tint as the predominant color in them which alters the textures for almost everything at night..why is that? Why freakin does DCS saturate it's graphics with MAUVE/PINK at night? How about AT LEAST solving this issue devs?), not to mention the glowing terrain which still exists. So far not a thing done to address nor even stated that it is going to/will be/might be addressed. The gamma slider option was heralded as a fix for the issues but it does not address the issues at all and I knew it would not even prior to it's release due to the nature of the issues. Gamma changes are not the fix. It was useful to work around the overly bright daytime flying of course. Maybe one day we will see some of the issues addressed but I quit hoping at this point and for DCS in VR, it is a day time sim only. For decent night flying in VR you have to look elsewhere. It does exist.

I gotcha. Yeah that low fog layer in Normandy is really comfy. Thanks again.

Thanks for the clarification. That is a good answer and makes sense. If they update their pos a few times during the daylight time cycle then that is a great compromise. Just never noticed the shadows cast at 9am in the world terrain are different than the ones cast at 2pm in the same location. And to clarify this is how it is currently in NTTR and Normandy? But again thanks for the answer and the info, appreciate it. Really looking forward to it regardless of course. Screenies are gorgeous.

Are terrain shadows gonna be prebaked/painted on as they are in NTTR or will terrain shadows actually react to the position of the sun?

That is Putin right? I mean, it is a very Putinesque photo

Yep, been monitoring that reddit thread myself. Only thing holding me off trying it is the same concern. What happens when next update is released..am I then in a need repair prior to update state....hmm...so tempting.

See this stuff confuses me because it is said like this is a new feature, like folding wings. My wings have folded on the Su-33 for as long as I can recall and currently I can turn the plane on a dime while maneuvering on deck. I cannot see how they could make the nose wheel steering any higher gain. It literally can almost turn within it's own radius, like a tank can, currently when on deck. So what does this mean? These features have been having a slow roll out for well over a year or more?

Love this last part. The court also added this gem of a reason in its dismissal of the case: "The callow youth featured in the commercial is a highly improbable pilot, one who could barely be trusted with the keys to his parents' car, much less the prize aircraft of the United States Marine Corps." So many DCS pilots would easily be in that cat ...lol.

Roger that. Milk and cookies package selected and loaded up for deployment.

Is not tomorrow a release day if there is going to be one? So, is there gonna be one?
