Mad Dog 7.62

Thanks!

So...I had not flown for a while and when the F-16 came out today and I fired it up, Oculus wanted to update firmware etc. I have had nothing but troubles today. First it did not matter how I started DCS in VR, through Skatezillas updater (my usual way), from DCS direct, or through Oculus, DCS would start on the monitor but not in my headset. I would have an Oculus screen in the headset. Finally got it run (not sure why) and the sound was cutting out, then quit working in the headset altogether. I can get sound through my speakers but not the headset. Grrr....not the way I wanted the first day of the Viper to go!! Any ideas??

It sounds like it might well come out in the next week or two, and Wags already issued a warning that when it does the price will go up. I wouldn't wait much longer.

Yep, make sure you keep the saved games folder for your control configurations.

I sure HOPE they fixed it, this has been a sore point for a long time. I have seen dozens of A-10 strafing runs and the impacts are much more concentrated than what we get in the sim, and they are devastating, even against tanks.

The old saying about not being able to see the forest for the trees is brought to mind here. This is a flight sim, not a forest sim.

Ah cool, found it. Already set for quality. Thanks!

I read somewhere about a setting for the S that optimized either quality or performance. I can't find such a settting for mine. What am I missing?

Those settings have nothing to do with the Rift.

Well since its a "repilica" and has "huge tranval" I'm sold!!

I noticed that too, I think maybe ED needs to work on that a bit. So far I have ran at the same 2.1 PD as I was running my CV1 at, I am going to dial it back a bit and see what that does.

I picked up my Rift S from Best Buy first thing this morning. I had a bit of a headache with setup, it kept saying the sensors couldn't track. I finally discovered the problem was with Windows privacy settings, I had to enable camera access for apps. I should have known, I had the same problem with the microphone on my original Rift. It is much sharper and clearer than the Rift, and more comfortable to wear as well. If I just played Robo Recall and such, I don't know if I would upgrade, but for flight or driving sims where you need the resolution and clarity, it is definitely worth it! And I so far at least am not seeing much if any performance difference with the same settings.

Picking mine up tomorrow!

Then why does the Mig have them?

I don't believe that is accurate, I am running my CV1 at 2.1 PD and it is noticeably better than at 1.5 PD.

I hope we get Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFT) for this bird. The US does not use them but many other countries do and the Block 50 is capable of using them.

I would love an easy AAR option!!

I wonder if the new round of Chinese tariffs is going to raise the price of VR headsets?

Well I pulled the trigger on an S. Should have it in hand May 23. Thought about selling my CV1 but they are only going for about $200 on E-Bay right now so I might just give it to my son.

Yeah I have done a little more research and it looks like you can't adapt from HDMI to Display Port....you can go the other way, but thats not what we need. So yea, the DP port on the card it will be.

I believe I saw somewhere that the S comes with the adapter. Oops, no thats a Display Port to Display Port Mini adapter it comes with. So we will need a HDMI Male to Display Port female adapter I guess??

Does anyone know if you will be able to assign a keybind to the "pass through" mode on the Rift S? It sure would be handy to be able to hit a button on the stick and be able to find my beer on the desk!!

I am very tempted to give the Rift S a shot, the Reverb looks great as far as resolution but since we are not the market HP is aiming for I am afraid there will be hiccups getting it to work well in DCS, and whether a reasonable system can get good frames in DCS is another big if. So I think I'll sell my CV1, order an S, and if something greatly better comes along I can always sell the S and upgrade again.....

I would like to see napalm, and nukes as well. You can always choose not to use them if they "offend" your sensibilities.

Perfect timing for the Gen 1.5 headsets coming out this spring!
