Tried out the Mavericks and sidearm mission. Did both the long and short versions. So one thing I think should be tweaked is maybe try to cover the use of the dmt and Maverick target pod during the ride to waypoint 1. Or pop the smoke when you are in the middle of waypoint two and start discussing how to slew the dmt and other functions when the smoke is visible in the area. What happens is we start getting instructions pretty soon after we reach waypoint 2 to uncage and slew the Maverick/DMT to a Target but there is no smoke showing up until you are pretty close to the target area. This confuses the pilot because now you have to reset everything and slew to the correct area with the dmt then slave to the Maverick. Then we are given more instructions while very close to the target area and I think a newcomer would have issues following all the commands at first. I circled around and was able to pick a truck on the airfield with the dmt. But then I pressed tms up once to change to irmav. Pressing tdc did not lock the mav crosshairs for me. This is probably because we were never told to select master arm on. Although I tried it again with master arm mode on and ready status Mavericks but my tdc action button didn't lock the target up for a firing solution. I think it's very informational and covers a lot. Everything is there I think the timing on when to cover what instructions could be a little better. Maybe have the mission active pause when we get to see the smoke and go over the selecting a Target and slewing controls there. Otherwise by the time I start seeing the smoke on the airfield, I feel too close to follow all the instructions for targeting with the systems and acquiring a lock. I recommend others use an actual slew control with axis too. Using the tdc left, right, etc makes slewing extremely difficult. I'm using the slew nub on my warthog throttle and I probably need to tweak the sensitivity a bit as well as invert the y axis.

Tried the new startup tutorial. I hope later they can make the cockpit a bit more readable in VR. The tutorial does a good job of explaining all the instructions. There are times where the voice over continues without you hitting a switch, for example when checking the fuel system and when inputting coordinates in the UFC. I set the north coordinates and hit enter and then the instructions came through to put in the coordinates for east. But they continued on about the magnetic variation instead waiting until I had pressed enter on the UFC. Overall I think it works great, some highlights didn't go away until later for example the canopy highlight to close it. I think the directions for the mpcd's should be a little slower and wait until user clicks the appropriate buttons. I got a little lost when asked to cycle controls and set stabilizer trim values as I was still on the engine bit failures page. But I'm at least glad to have a working proper starting tutorial which I'll need to do many times over as I have been out of the harrier for a while. Thanks for posting these and great work!

That's odd considering one of their main selling points was they redesigned it for comfort. I have the original Odyssey and the fit is fine although it's less comfortable and fitting than my rift.

Ah nice I'll try it out soon. I've been flying these over and over.

Is it possible now to use the jhms with the 9x missiles in this now? Wanted to replay these again and try it out but didn't want to risk breaking the mission. Would definitely consider buying a paid campaign later if you plan on continuing to do these!

Also did you use heavy springs in the base for the warthog grip?

Some of the articles that first came out said something like that.. resolution, comfort and sde improvements but it's actually the same resolution. Since there isn't an oculus 2.0 coming they figured it's safe to put out there to sell for now.

It's suppose to minimize screen door effect. But I don't notice it much anyway on mine.

Since I already have the Odyssey I'm not getting the plus as the resolution is the same. Besides comfort and anti sde I don't see the reason to pay for it again.

I have all the A10 maple flag campaigns. I passed all of them except the tactical one. I think I'm on mission 23 of the tactical one and got stuck for good. The maple flag missions are not training at all. They are qualification exams. I did run into some issues with them. But without someone else youtubing their journey through them I would not have known the criteria for passing them. Unfortunately that person did not complete them all either.

Thing is the missions are super complex and flow off one another. It will probably require a bit more work to release half of them and disconnect the training flow to make it a smooth transition. They aren't simple missions they are interactive and depending on your input and several other triggers being done correctly, with real voice overs. Whichever they decide to do I'm fine with it. But I think completing it and then releasing it feel like the right thing to do not just do it now quickly because people are impatient.

I would only get one if I could trade in my original Odyssey. Screen resolution is the same in the end. It's like oh we screwed up on the comfort part so let's make them pay for it again by adding something else to it too. It does squeeze my nose quite a but but doesn't have issues staying on my head.

It's available now in the US for $499 but I'm not sure what the difference would be for me compared the the original Odyssey. I have both the rift and the Odyssey and would hate to have 3 headsets, running out of room to store crap.

Yea since it's a training campaigns it's meant to be sequential and pick up one mission after another. Some parts will be longer than others. I know people want something to fly now but having it all out at once makes more sense. The amount of work and detail that has gone into this a10 training campaign is superb from what I've tested a while back. Those of you that want something to go through now try out the mirage red flag campaign it's very interactive and a good addition to the main mirage campaign.

Been a while since I've been in the hog. So when this is out it will be so refreshing to learn everything properly. Hope you and the rest of the team are doing well.

I took a look at vkb software and it looks more confusing than virpil's if you use the actual one the developers reccomend and not the simplified version thats made by someone else.

I'm running a 1080ti, i7 8700k, 32gb of ram so you can use this for reference. Installed on an SSD and using the samsung odyssey. I use pixel density 1.5, everything set to high except shadows(medium) and civ traffic off. Grass and clutter I have the sliders close to the left but not completely off. Global shadows default, and I think 2x msaa. Preload radius all the way up. I get pretty smooth performance single player and online on the hoggit server.

Yea I got home from work and it was sitting there next to my door. The area is pretty nice and there is a small roof over the door of the apartment so I guess they thought it was fine to leave it. Had it been my previous apartment, it would have been stolen.

They just put mine next to my door.

This was probably already posted but for anyone that uses the odyssey, I was having major issues with it yesterday. Wmr app kept restarting itself every 2 minutes. It was nearly impossible to use. I haven't flown in a few months and just got back in yesterday so I figured some update screwed things up. Tried all kinds of fixes as online they state it sounds like a usb problem. But it worked months ago without issues. I ended up disconnecting the headset and then uninstalling the windows wmr app. I plugged the headset back in and there was a Samsung update to version 1.80 for the headset. The odd thing was when I manually tried to update the headset in device manager it said it had the latest drivers. I didn't mess with it too much longer after that but I tried it out for a bit and I noticed the wmr app didn't restart itself after that.

Same here looked at the mcg pro on NA site and it's still out of stock.

Good thing I haven't updated since last time. Doing the factory reset while trying to short out those two pins took a while.

Install the firmware again. If it won't be seen comepletely at one point you will need to factory reset it by shorting two pins. I put up a picture of the pins a few pages back.

I've been to the same eye doc every year so I should be able to call and get my glasses prescription. Last year she said they did not change for glasses and also not much change for my contacts. But I figure when I run out of contacts in a few months I'll go and order more so I'll get my prescription for glasses at that time. This would help a lot because I usually take my contacts out at night but if I want to fly I gotta put them back in or things are blurry just like you said.

Sorry auto spelling mistake. Meant to say vive.
