  1. I have the same problem; FPS drops from 45 ASW to 12 in the viggen on 2.1 when I turn on the radar. To answer Cobra’s question, I have an i7 3770k oc on water to 4.4ghz. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. It would certainly behoove them to at least tease something in response to the upcoming MS/ Samsung offerings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Also, throttle up with the brakes on and release at full power, take off flaps down at 100 knots, and rotate at 110. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. Yup! I own a rift but will happily buy this product simply to help propel the market. Also, the "plug and play" factor is big. Not having to scrounge for USB 3 ports and deal with the associated headaches is giant bonus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Samsung Odessey VR (release next month) I'm reading that it is to be released Nov 5 with a 500 USD price point. I hope this is at least enough of an incremental improvement to get the people of the DCS world into VR as the preferred platform. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I did ask Maverick about it close to 6 months ago on the 104th thread. He was kind enough to explain the reason. I know the tacview cheating was being addressed but I don't know if there has been any resolution. I'm doubtful as I keep an eye on the server for the day I may return (I don't fly without my jetseat!). They were a good group despite Jeffrey [emoji12]. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. Tacview also requires the player export to be on. Since some people cannot stand the idea of playing fairly and insist on using tacview to cheat, some servers won't turn it on (104th among them). Sooo... I choose only servers that allow export. I recommend 99th for a good mix with admins on almost all the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I don't think it's blatant highjacking to strongly agree here and I'll tell you why. I bought the Rift to have a variety of VR experiences and then I gave DCS a go. I don't use my headset for anything else now. I have played a bunch of VR games and nothing comes close to this simulator for demonstrating how compelling this technology is. It would IMHO, greatly behoove the marketing department of ED to grab this idea and run as hard and fast as they can with it. As Drexx pointed out this is THE killer VR app "they've" been talking about and I sincerely hope ED understands that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. Is this thing really only $1000? It seems that the buyer provides the chair- does it come with a frame on which to mount ones peripherals? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Georgia has been a second home for all of us. Occasionally, when dusk settles in and the lights go on in those quaint mountain villages I wonder what delights could be laid upon the dinner tables of our hosts. Imagine eating these with the dulcet tones of brrrrrrt whhhhhiiiinnnnnn overhead! http://www.saveur.com/georgian-khachapuri-cheese-bread-variations?src=SOC&dom=tw Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Any WW2 servers on 1.5 still? It would certainly be helpful if there was some sort of PSA about tooltips and VR on MP if the coding issue is beyond the abilities of the devs to fix in a week...I would love to continue my duties as an alpha tester. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Hi guys. You know what a big fan I am of the server! I was attempting some Huey ops this evening and went to set up a FOB from which to base my operations and diligently brought 3 crates over to my radio beacon. I felt rather deflated when CTLD informed me that it would take 9 trips to complete the base! There were only 2 hours left before the restart and I figured it would take close to that just to build the thing if I could keep my soul from being destroyed by the monotony. So, I stand before you and humbly request that number of crates to build the FOBs be reduced. I'm hoping to 3 total please and thank you. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. I believe your copilot says it when you recover from a near death landing... usually after you pull out of a vortex ring state. He says "Pozdravleniya Commander"!; which is Russian for congratualations! At least thats what he says to me... Командующий поздравлениями! For those who read the Vodka Runes...
  14. And yet again, Dburne and I have the exact same stuff! I agree, Sahaj's black extension works well and looks great on the WH. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Right ctrl +shift and the numpad can be used to shift one's position in the cockpit. * and /included. It only takes a second to do especially after one has figured out where one likes to be in different craft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. consistently CTD I wanted to wrap this up (months later). The solution came with running msconfig and disabling all non-essential startup services. I suspect that the problem was occurring with some program somehow straining my USB resources. You see, I have a pci card for my wifi which uses the lane for 2 of my USB 3 ports. With the rift, a jetseat, and TMWH, as well as the normal peripherals on an ASUS p8z77-v-pro board I am about maxed out. I don't use my system for much more than gaming, photo editing and filthy internet activities and I haven't missed whatever service that I put to bed. Please feel free to castigate me in the most belittling way if I've used an incorrect thought process or term. Thanks again for all the help. Bitmaster and Bignewy you are a pearls among swine!

  17. I haven't as the settings seem to be pretty spot on. I didn't know you were also expecting a rift. You're in for such a treat! The jetseat gives really good feed back with regard to loading your rotor in the helicopters and approaching stalls in fixed wings. The seat with the Rift is life changing. I would highly recommend center mounting your stick to complete the experience. Enjoy! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. Hurrah! You got it quickly! I hope you like it as much as I do. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. Definitely with Sith and Yurgon! I love nothing more than coordinating with others to accomplish a goal. I find that doing it against AI eliminates the human tendency to find any way possible to eek out an advantage even if it lies outside the delineated framework...if you catch my drift.

  20. You guys might find this interesting: https://www.vrfocus.com/2017/07/research-shows-vr-can-improve-vision-in-young-people/amp/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Perhaps you should contact your bank. I know that I have been sent notifications when making foreign transactions. I think it's fascinating just how insular we are in the US. Banks just assume that if we're buying something overseas it is nefarious. Not to get political but we seem to be heading in the wrong direction. There is much to be gained by peacefully engaging the world in which we live. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I don't recall paying any unreasonable import tax, but I don't think those costs are as transparent in the U.S. There isn't a value added tax here but rather a "sales" tax that generally is determined by the state in which the sale was made. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  24. Eyes change shape and the lens hardens as a natural part of aging. All of our vision gets worse if we are lucky enough live a long life! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. I do as well and you likely will need them for VR. First, I bought a pair of glasses with wire frames from zenni optical- they worked well but were still not very comfortable and would smudge if they touched my eye lids. I then bought a set of lenses from vrlenslab.com- these are much better but don't fit the HMD all that well and take ages to ship (from Thailand). I just saw a recommendation for https://vr-lens.eu/ that apparently solve the poor fit troubles and ship quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
