Sorry to hear. I hope things go as smoothly as possible. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

That's awesome!

Hi mate, I can't help you out with code per se, but you could wire each switch positiin to its own digital pin and use a common ground. e.g. Away positive - pin x Centre positive - pin y (or it could simply be off and have no connection) Near positive - pin z I don't know about inline resistors etc, but the code should simply be describing each pin to an equivalent button. I have used this scheme on a zero delay enconder for trim switches, and other buttons. I did discover that one button does become a steamvr command if held for too long (~3seconds) YMMV Cheers, Tom

Late reply - apologies. Thanks to everyone who added their help! Tom

Thanks for the lua file fix!

Cannot wait for the RAG campaign! Of course I'll most likely place in the position that makes 2nd last possible, but it'll be my idea fun!

Hi All, As the title states, I set QNH on the ramp, but cannot get the standby flag to disappear. I know it's a small issue for a "computer game," but would like to know if it's something that I'm missing. (I cheat and Win/Home for startup if it matters.) Thanks for the awesome campaign, I'm really enjoying it. I am basically using the campaign to learn how to fight the F14 so learning is coming slowly. Also if anyone can point me to some good tutorials on how to command Jester to use the radar, (WRT optimal modes, at the right time) and when best to use the pilot controlled modes is, I'd be really appreciative. Thanks, Tom

Hi Mikhail, Not sure if I need to, but I've sent you a PM to be added to the waiting list. Kind regards and much anticipation. Tom

G'day Thudster, Just wanted to say thanks for putting together the guide. I still have very little idea about much of this stuff, but thanks to the guide I was able to get DCS running and it has been game changing! Cheers!

Thanks to everyone here! Found this after watching Lukas S. / Wolta 's youtube videos. Cheers

Hi All, I thought I'd give an update. I purchased 2nd a Samsung Odyssey (not the plus) a few months ago now. I have gotten it to work by following Thud's VR4DCS https://vr4dcs.com/2019/08/19/preflighting-wmr-steamvr-for-dcs/ (Thanks Thud!) Settings have been left at the VR defaults, which I'll get to sorting out eventually, maybe. I haven't checked FPS or but I have been enjoying slowly learning the Spit and making my playspace more conducive to VR ops. Cheers for everyone's input, and yes my i7-7700HQ, GTX1050Ti 16Gb laptop can drive it. Cheers Tom

Hi Brixmis< Looking forward to your thoughts - currently saving for a headset, and would prefer the quest so I can play quest games also with the family. Cheers Tom

Hi Everyone, Thank you all for the comprehensive answers. My thoughts for the Quest is to see if I could use it in the same way that some have used the Oculus Go with ALVR, but hopefully with 6DOF. I can justify purchase of the Quest then to use for it's primary use and for it's portability when I travel for work. Current computer is a Dell "gaming" laptop - i7-7700, GTX1050Ti, and 16GB ram. (saving for a dedicated flight sim system) I know it's on the very low end/possibly not good enough. I have gotten "phone" VR to display but without head tracking and I'm not sure I have the display optimised - i.e. ipd, and display size etc. @DeltaMike, thanks for bringing up the lenovo option. I had been considering buying a Playstation VR HMD secondhand (about $180 AUD) and camera setup, but could only find details about it's use with Steam VR programs. @Mesenzio, thanks. I have a lot more to learn and ask about to set something up software wise. @DerekSpeare, thanks for the link - it's already been a bit of a rabbit hole! I've also saved and started reading setting and tips link too. I'm certainly keeping an eye out now on the secondhand market for system equipment. Just have to be strategic about it lest I incur too much wrath from the Minister for War and Finances. @Svsmokey, I can't think of the Rift-S as a budget HMD, I was thinkingof the Quest (if it would work) as dual function -wireless VR and tethered flightsim VR. Cheers again all, Tom

Good morning all, I am interested in dipping my toe in the water re: VR. I thought there was a guide about budget VR options but cannot seem to find it. I am most interested in VR options for the "standalone" DCS, and not the Steam version. Also if there are any thoughts about playing on the new oculus quest, I'dlove to hear them too. Any direction would be much appreciated. Lastly, apologies to the mods if this post makes things cumbersome - please don't hesitate to merge/delete/whatever as required. Cheers Tom

Thanks for the response Sokol1. I have the less advanced version with the light so I wanted to see if I upgrade at the same time. I think I'll just go with the simple mod first though. Cheers Tom
