It shouldn't be. I can boresight from both seats in 10 seconds or less using VR. Same thing with a couple of friends that use TrackIR Make sure the aircraft is stable before firing. It could give the impression things are not lined up when they really are. Other than that I don't know why you and other people are having problems, maybe overthinking it? If you obsess over it your mind might start playing tricks on you.

No the gun will not be off when you reset your view.

It's not that hard.. just slide your head to the right then do what you would normally do in the pilot seat, or use the keybinds mentioned earlier in the thread to move your head (works in VR as well). By default the CPG's head position is too far to the left. They need to adjust the default position to the right some.

Yeah I ended up editing the post because after taking a look at the post a second time, I realized he meant the gun following his head not the TADS. Also to note, if the OP binds the trigger to the cyclic and not the left handgrip he'll have to open the trigger guard just like in the back seat, which can get confusing.

Was your arm/safe set to arm? Also what was your acquisition source set to? PHS is Pilot Helmet Sight, GHS is Gunner Helmet Sight, you need to make sure you've selected one or the other depending on your situation and that your sight select is set to TADS to be able to operate the TADS. EDIT: If you want the gun to follow your head as the gunner without the TADS you need to sight select HMD and WAS the gun.

This ^ Try engaging auto range under 1400 AGL

What was your altitude when trying to set Auto mode?

Auto ranging uses the radar altimeter, so make sure your RDR ALT is on before setting auto range.

Before the last patch it didn't happen, so I'm assuming it's not supposed to. Maybe someone with real world experience can chime in, but as far as I'm aware it's only supposed to say it once at a time.

When performing a fire test for both channels 1 and 2, it repeats each one twice. For example: "Engine 1 Fire, Engine 1 Fire, Engine 2 Fire, Engine 2 Fire, APU Fire, APU Fire, AFT DECK Fire, AFT DECK Fire". This happens in both the pilot and CPG seat. I've attached a track as well demonstrating the issue. firetestbug.miz.trk

I'm getting judder too when turning on the TADS either in the front seat or the VID page in the back.

It's already reported.

It's a bug with hot starting. The RDR ALT is on but appears off and can't be selected.

Temps are fine, GPU in the 60's and CPU in the 40's during heavy load. Got an ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 water cooler, and a Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Chassis case. I tried switching to the Q2 for a newer headset thinking that it was just older hardware of the CV1 causing issues but my issues got relatively worse.. so I don't think it's that to be honest.. I don't use fpsVR because I don't use Steam since I'm trying to limit the amount of processes while playing DCS

I've seen this happen a few times on Casmo's streams. And I've personally had the acquisition source desync as well but it's hit or miss, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. Hopefully someone can supply a track file showing this. I've also seen my CPG set his ACQ to T06 when on my end it showed T01.

I make sure only the bare minimum processes are running while I'm playing DCS.. I even close the Oculus app after starting DCS.. I don't use Steam. My drivers are up to date. My resolution is downscaled to the extreme to try to gain as many frames as possible. I have DCS running high priority in Task Manager without using any external programs. I have high performance in the NVIDIA Control Panel. I'm using the Rift CV1. I just hopped into a practice server, with small groups of targets, as I got close the frames were terrible, low 20's. I've done literally everything I possibly can to gain FPS and it's not working out like some people have. You name it and I've most likely have done it. I also have the simplex shaders mod and vrperfkit which helped a lot with the Hornet, but with the Apache it's struggling even on Caucasus.. granted turning off the TADS or the VID page I can get +10 frames from doing so.. I'm just trying to learn to deal with all the stutters... which doesn't seem right considering my hardware..

Not sure what else I can tweak.... I can't play with vis on low it's terrible, I even have VRperfkit downscaled to .7 with no upscaling...

Yup

Ahh okay I understand what you're saying. Yeah that shouldn't be happening.

Well I'm running an RTX 3080 OC 10GB, i9 9900k OC 5.1, 32 GB RAM with DCS installed on a Samsung 980 Pro SSD and still have issues with everything on low/off except AF on 4X and visibility on medium.. so Idk

Have you tried joining a MP server that's running a decently sized dynamic campaign?

Also have to take in consideration the type of mission, how many units are placed etc, which I think a lot of people forget about.

Can you send a screenshot? It's not going to show the video symbology when there's an overlay up if that's what you're saying, would be easier if I could see what you mean

That's normal, if you don't select no video whatever video you're viewing will be displayed in the background of other pages. I also experience FPS drops when using VID or TADS.

I'm having the same issue.
