My experience so far is consistent with backspace340. Nothing I change in the steamVR slider has any appreciable effect. It's at 226% right now. I do see a difference in the Hz refresh rate, and don't care for the 60. I'm getting 45 at pd 1.3 most places in SP, but in MP it drops to 30 for some reason. Even so, the 30 is smooth. Without the frame counter on, I doubt I'd know. At this point I have MSAA 2x, AF 16x, and MFAA on in Nvidia. Going to roll with this for the time being and monitor for better advice. Maybe try the shaders mod in this section next.

I'd love to know this as well. Hugely annoying.

See my post #94 in this thread, page 10.

@Shein - you knock back the pixel density to 1.1-1.3? Play with the settings.

I'm breaking mine in after setting it up. My steps after letting it install (you just plug it in and go through a brief setup): 1 - Update your graphics card driver. This was the most time consuming part, and could have been done ahead of time. 2 - Sign up for Steam. 3 - Download Steam VR. 4 - In Steam, go to Library, right click steam VR and choose Properties. Select "Betas" on the right. Opt into the steam VR beta. 5 - Perform the reprojection driver tweak on page 8 of this thread. (this is necessary, and is a huge improvement) 6 - Restart it all. 7 - Experiment with your settings as you require. With a 1080ti I did not have to drop MSAA or Anisotropic at all. I did move PD down to 1.3 which really smoothed it out. I'm in phase 7. Most of all these steps can be done before your O+ even arrives, and I'd recommend that. Top three observations: The first thing I noticed, and immediately was the SDE gone, & the colors. Second was the sweet spot. Yes, it's smaller than the Rift's but I wouldn't say by a lot. Third, readability. For me, the gauges in the AC were a bit more readable. Not staggeringly so, but a good 15% here. Fitment - Ask your mom if you were born C section or not. If so, chances are you have a giant punkin' head and this may not fit you so good. My cranium is regular size and I have no issue wearing this. Light bleed for me is different than the rift, but all things considered - equal. Anyway, I started this thread so I thought it was appropriate that I post my own day 1 experiences and a brief guide for the installation steps I took to close the karma loop. /Fargo

My O+ has already shipped from Samsung. It wasn't supposed to until 11/25 week as stated on the site but I have the text and tracking already, and as of yesterday fedex has it.

Does this mean you have to use the steam version of DCS? I'm not sure how this all works.

Has anyone got info on that there mmr/asw experimental thingy?

Yeah, the agressors is often used when a very wide variety of enemy AI objects is required. I wonder - could we just as easily create our own version of the aggressors to stand on the other side of the aisle by simply adding all the possible units to one of the never used countries? This should be doable by mods in db_countries.lua alone. The goal here is to have two countries that have access to everything standing in opposite coalitions.

Well my bad on that - Thanks @EightBall! I was able to get this accomplished by editing the stm file directly. I swapped the country away from the Aggressors to the USA, and vice versa. There are only a few things missing from it. It's probably not going to be very useful to many but if any one is interested ping me and I'll send.

The situation is, I already have a mission where the aggressors are red, and need the assets to be blue. The AI will shoot at the refugee camp. We need a second version of the aggressors to tell the truth..... If there's any way for you to export a blue version as well, that would be most welcome, as during campaigns some of these airfields will change hands inevitably. The refugee camp is nothing short of amazing. Thank you Rudel_chw for your hard work here.

FYI I was able to change the coalition easily by just swapping red for blue, and changing the ID of the country's objects accordingly.

Following, and subscribed to your youtube channel as well.

I didn't read all five pages, but have you tried deleting your fxo / shaders and letting them regenerate?

I "sort of" have this working. You're right, the crates from the static ships in PG work great. As far as from allied ships, I came up with this: in CTLD: ctld.slingLoad = true ctld.spawnCrateAtZone("blue", 801, "cargo1") With the zone defined on the deck of the Tarawa. I tried this with ship groups that were dead still. Picking it up is orders of magnitude harder than on the ground. The hook flails around wildly. A couple times, what I believe occurred was that when I hooked it, the crate then fell through the deck, pulling the huey down sharply. I recovered from it, but it could easily have killed me. This does not seem to happen from the stennis.

Hear hear. The improvements in the Tarawa are fantastic. The yellow shirt on the tram moving his head is great. I have to look every time I take off or land. I hope this continues how it's going, because the improvements are indeed excellent.

Any other reports of use in DCS guys? ETA - ordered it for $299. Black friday special kicked off today.

Although I understand that frustration..... I highly doubt this is Samsung's original plan. In fairness, Samsung much like any other company wants to sell all of its products everywhere. There's no point in cutting an entire limb off of your market share. It's far more likely that there's some government entity making it impossible or difficult for them to sell it there.

These work as expected in SP, but regardless of parking spot, runway, etc. in MP an MI-8 always spawns next to the island and shortens its main rotor by a meter or so.

I had the privilege of watching a 53 start and take off this month. You cannot imagine how much power this thing has. It was a large as a small house, and literally shook my spine within my body (thank goodness) 200Y away. It staggered my imagination.

They really do need to make this work, because it will multiply the number of people buying modules quite a bit. Helicopters are harder to learn and master in DCS than fixed wing AC. If you could have someone in the cockpit talking you through doing stuff, e.g. "you're about to hit VRS, start pulling some collective, NOW." It would make learning so much easier and more realistic. This will attract more people to the experience.

Thank you. It's now the least expensive VR headset out there at that price. Understanding that it should fit great but doesn't, I wonder what's possible in terms of designing my own mount, or modifying the existing one.......

Svsmokey - where do you see the O+ for $300?

My experiences are all with hot starts. It selects just fine, but will not launch. ETA - I see now there is another thread discussing this. Multi page, and better to handle it there. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=196692

I bound weapons control panel #7 and used that to select the sidearm. The sidearm selects, and locks on. On launch attempt, the gun fires and the sidearm does not launch. I also tried manually selecting SA via the STRS menu on the left MFCD with the mouse, and also by re-selecting #1 and #7 on the weapons station control panel. Same result in each instance. Let me know if anything I am doing in this sequence is incorrect. If not, this is still completely broken.
