Revelation

I have a 980Ti with a 1440P monitor. My settings are maxed and I rarely see a dip. Even over Las Vegas I never dip below 30, with an average FPS around 60.

It's a learning curve. We, in general, have been spoiled by high quality, pixel dense displays. Going to the Rift can be a little bit of a let down in terms of visual quality. For most, the loss in visual quality is more than equally compensated for in immersion. Rift really shines when it comes to formation flying, landing SU-30s on a carrier, in the future F-18Cs, aerial refueling and just general flight. For now and maybe a generation or two of VR displays monitors will offer better visibility outside of the cockpit. When flying with others that are using a Rift, there's not much of an issue as everyone is on a "level playing field." There are advantages the Rift user has over a monitor user. For now the monitor user has a slight advantage when it comes to having the ability to spot the enemy further out. With proper tactics that can be mitigated by Rift users...

When DCS detects the Rift it will run DCS at the native resolution of the Rift regardless of your settings. Some people have messed around with their graphics settings to get, what they believe to be, a better image. My settings are left the same as when I run DCS on a 1440p monitor with TrackIR. This way I don't have to changes settings back and forth. With CV1, reading gauges and text is a lot easier than with the DK2. I can't say that I have any issues reading the aforementioned, then again I'm used to the prior DK2 experience. When it comes to ID targets, you can set your object size (forget the technical term) to medium or large - that will help while using the CV1.

Won't happen. No module has ever been released in an early access state and released on Steam at the same time. Wags once mentioned that ED has no plans of ever releasing early access modules on Steam. If you want to get your hands on the latest "stuff" from ED you will have to install the stand alone.

So far it's great!

There's no update for 2.0 this week, so the short answer is no.

That was the plan, Wags later posted that something came up and it would be delayed.

Only thing I had to do was enable "Unknown Source" within Oculus software under the general settings for DCS to work.

Check your audio settings on the bottom right of your task bar. Ensure your Rift is setup as default.

Just got my CV1 today! Heck yeah! Time to re-fly the A-10C Red Flag Campaign exclusively using the Rift.

Scooped her up! I've been pleased with Belsimtek's work thus far. Hopefully we can get her in the hangar sooner, rather than later.

Yup!

Really? So how did we get the Warthog? The Hornet and its controller would be far more popular than the warthog.

Absolutely. Watched Dojo update the 476th twitter feed with the very poor showing by Thrustmaster.

Nope, same event.

It just ended.

Think that is it, what were they thinking? They had a big reveal for just that?

You couldn't be further from the truth. A/G is a top priority for ED, as it is a mainstay for DCS F/A-18C. In fact ED had a screenshot over a year ago in regards to the progress they had made. With that said, only ED knows what the current state of the A/G radar is in. We could be days / weeks / months or years away from getting our paws on it. With ED's anticipation of having early access to the Hornet later this year, my guess is in early fall we will start to see more images / videos of Hornet and its subsystems.

I believe they had some old shots of the cockpit flouting around somewhere. They worked out some deal, if I remember correctly, to use ED's current 3D model.

The Viggen has an AG developed by LNS while ED is doing their own. RAZBAM has plans to use ED's underlying AG code and that is what they are waiting to get their hands on.

A few patches back they had the FP ejection perspective enabled, then removed it. Glad to heard they have added it back. If I remember correctly, the previous implementation allowed you to look around during the ejection sequence - I could be wrong though.

In my experience it does not automatically update. To check, simply launch tacview, click on the question mark at the top. First select "About" and identify your currently installed version. After which click on the question mark again and select "check for update." If the "current" version on the website is different from what you have installed, download the newer version and install it.

This one is well worth the time to sit and watch. The speaker goes in some pretty decent detail in the design and capabilities of the Tomcat. One of the things he reiterates a few times is that the 54C scared the crap out of our adversaries.

Well I'd be happy to fly one of the Tomcats in opposition to your endeavors. That would be a great scenario to play out with competent adversarial forces.
