Mad Dog 7.62

OK, when I am in my A-10 cockpit, and using the in cockpit cursor to select things, if the cursor moves enough to move it off the little screen on the monitor, it disappears or at least stops being able to make selections. Any cure for this? I can't get the batterys turned on!!

I got this sorted. Since I had not installed Oculus in the default location, (put it on my D: drive) I had to go under File on the debug tool and specify the location of the executable. NOW it makes a big difference!!

Hmm, the debug tool does not seem to be making a difference for me. Turning up MSAA does help.

K, thanks Skate. Sure will be nice when we get the VR upgrades into 2.0 then.

Question on changing the pixel density with the debug tool. Does the debug tool have to be left open? And does the change persist, or do you have to do it every time you launch Home?

I bought it off BestBuy.com, got it two days later. I am cancelling my order with Oculus. There is a post by Platypus in this thread that tells you how to get it off best buy quickly.

I got Steam VR working, just needed a re-boot I guess. Rode a roller coaster.....wow.

Got my Rift today!! Installation and setup went smoothly. Watched some of the videos on Dreamdeck and such....interesting. Fired up DCS and WOW!!!!! I did not fly, my Warthog was moved out of the way to get the Rift setup, and I am sure I will have to turn some settings down as I have everything set pretty high but just sitting in the cockpit of the A-10 and Ka50 was AMAZING!!! It was like I had climbed into the cockpit of a real A-10! I appreciate the cockpit in a whole new way. I also love that you can look around without twisting your head one way and your eyes the other, it is SO much better than Track IR!! I can't wait to actually fly! I did notice what people are saying about the gauges and such being a bit hard to read. I can read them if I lean in. I haven't tried changing the pixel density yet through the debug tool, I want to get a baseline idea of frame rates before I tweak that. Although DCS fired right up, I could not try my Steam apps. Steam VR does not seem to want to recognize that the headset is attached, and so far I haven't figured that out. Any tips? MD

Mine should be here today.....just waiting on the Big Brown Truck! Hey.....they should give us UPS trucks in DCS......

I did this and it worked out perfectly! I set up the alerts yesterday, jumped out of bed at 1:00 AM to place the order, and I will have my Rift on Wednesday instead of "maybe sometime in August"!! Thanks Platypus!!!

I am kicking myself for not ordering a bit sooner.....missed the Eve Valkyire deal by two weeks.

When was it supposed to ship? What was your order date? Mine is TBD, ordered April 12.

I don't have my Rift yet so sorry if I am missing something....this sounds like it would be the way to go, but what about controls that need to be rotated via the middle mouse button?

Hope this isn't off topic, but for CV1 users that play DCS, what other games/sims are you enjoying on the Rift? Mine is going to be here in a month or so and I want to get some ideas for other games I might to pick up for it. TIA!

A while back, Wags was looking for info on the Abrams, I was hoping that meant we would get an module for that somewhere down the road.....

Don't forget Digital Integrations Tornado, or Origins Strike Commander!!! I loved both of those!!

I would like to do the pre-purchase but its not showing up in Module Manager. I thought we do all purchases through there now?

I was kinda hoping for Plug and Play MFD's with screens.......

Much ado about nothing. Nice work, Thrustmaster.

Yes! It would be a great light strike/COIN addition to DCS world!

I guess the advantage of an August delivery date is that 2.5 should be out and most of the bugs worked out by then......

I updated my Nvidia driver and it seems to be OK now. Just placed and order for the Rift....sometime in August is the estimated ship date. My concerns, and I guess we will see, are about target spotting and display readability....

Question for the computer gurus.....I ran the test program from Oculus before and was in spec to run the Rift. Nothing has changed on my system, I have a 970 graphics card. When I run the test now, it is saying I have a Intel 4600 Graphics card and that it wont run the Rift?????

there used to be a key combo that made those views "sticky"....I think it was something like Ctrl Num 0 but it did not seem to be working last time I tried it in 2.0.

I have always felt the gun was not as effective as it should be against tanks. I have seen A-10 strafing runs up close and personal, and I know how effective they can be, and how tightly concentrated and accurate the impacts are. I have also seen the damage they do to armor. I will never believe the gun in the game is as effective as the real world article.
