Well even when I did two 40s it still felt really loose, but thanks for the heads up! I suppose I will go back to that just to make sure I don't tweak anything. And thanks for the link! That's exactly what I was looking for

Gents, I need some help with my settings to hopefully quell some of the issues I've been having. The issue is when in an external view (I don't use this a lot but it's easier to see the issue) when you move the mouse around the object the edges of the plane (nose, wing tips, etc) all droop down or up depending on which direction you move the mouse. Inside the cockpit this is noticeable in the HUD when turning. You can really notice it in a spin for example but the airspeed and altitude indicators in the HUD are the most affected. It's hard for me to tell if it's a stuttering issue or something else. I am not sure if there is a way to record it in VR and then post here, but it is something that I haven't seen before and I recently upgraded my MB, Processor and RAM. Not sure if that would cause this kind of issue. Here are a few pics of my settings. I've included the in game settings for VR and also the Nvidia settings. My PD is set to 1.7. Please any help would be appreciated!

Hey guys! Just got done setting up my new MCG Gunfighter Pro and thought I would give a review here on the forums. I mostly come one here to get solid input and advice on such things and haven't really contributed much on my own so I thought I would start! First Impressions: Taking it out of the box you can tell that there was some solid construction put into it. It was nicely packaged and definitely felt like I spent my money well. The only initial drawback to me was the actual stick feels light. That doesn't mean it isn't well made, it just doesn't quite have the heft that I am used to with the Cougar and Warthog sticks. Installation: Being that I have the Obutto I did have to make some modifications to a bracket to make sure it had the right fit. Right away though I can tell you I love this stick as a replacement for the Warthog that I had been using. Even using extensions on the Warthog the MCG has a much more natural feel to it with its extension. As for the software the instructions were super easy to follow and I had the software up and running in no time and the stick calibrated and ready to go! Springs and Cams: Now this is where it took me some time to get the right feel. There are two cam options a #10 and a #30. The #30 has more of a center to it when you let go of the stick. I can tell you that I did not like that at all. It had a similar feel to the original Cougar HOTAS with two opposing springs. This is not how a real flight stick feels and I recommend leaving the #10's in place as that is what is shipped with it. As for the springs they have an assortment of options that are labeled 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 with 50 being the strongest and 10 being the weakest. They come shipped with two #20s installed, one on each axis. I can tell you right now this was just waaay too weak. I then went to 40 right away and it was still too weak. The brilliant design team on this stick did however give you an option to install two springs on both axis (seriously, great design!) so I went with two #40s. However that ended up being too weak as well and I finally ended up with two #50s on each axis. This to me is the most natural feel to this stick from the real thing. Being an Air Force pilot I can tell you that it's pretty close! :joystick: I would like the manufacturer to even include a more firm option above 50 and maybe if the stick had a bit more heft to it that might not be needed, but it is still just a tad weak for my liking. However, air refueling is a breeze, landings are smooth and turning is so much better than the Warthog was. Buttons: While I do strive for realism and even though this stick is not designed for the Hornet it does have a much better feel than the Warthog did. I have even moved the TDC assignment from the throttle to the stick as the thumb stick is a dream for the radar. The only thing I wish I could change would be the brake lever. It is set up as a slider for a brake (russian airplane thing) where I would use it as the NWS lever if I could use it as a switch. (btw I am just assuming I cannot change that, if you can please tell me how!!) It also has more hats and buttons than you can think of to program for the Hornet and I like that as well. Now I can add just a few more things than standard to really have a hands off stick feel. Bottom line: If you are in the market for another stick to replace the Warthog than I would definitely give this some consideration! I mainly fly the Hornet in DCS and completely love this stick for that. Easy to install, easy to setup and easy to program. Couldn't ask for a better way to go! I also ordered the Virpil stick however I am still awaiting on it's arrival. I will do a comparison for you guys to hopefully help make the decision on what stick to go with. Let me know if you have any questions! FlyBoyd

Hey gents. So my game keeps crashing and I can't seem how to fix it. I've run repair, cleanup, got rid of the latest windows updates, tried the latest video card update and still about 2 minutes into the game I keep going CTD. First question is how do I ensure I get the crash logs in an attempt to see at least what is going on here? Second is there maybe something in my settings? I just can't figure out why I can't play. I was playing fine before like most but I'm not sure where the problem is now. Thanks! FlyBoyd

Yeah i've definitely noticed the sweet spot, but it still is a bit blurry on the MFDs. I'm going to try the zoom function.

I wasn't aware of it, but I will do that! Thanks

Hey guys! I have perused many threads but I can't seem to find anything to help me be able to see the cockpit better. The HUD and most of the comm panel are all good, but switches like the flap switch or water and any menu item on the MFD's are too blurry. System specs: I7-7700k 1080Ti 32GB RAM SSD I have been messing around with the new IPD setting under VR but increasing it doesn't seem to be changing the text for me. I have even increased the Pixel Density up to 1.5 (don't want to go much higher) and it still is too blurry. What would be a good baseline to start with and which numbers should I be changing to see if there is a difference? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Razzi

Hey guys, hoping to get some help here. I am new with the rift (great xmas present!) and am having some issues getting started in DCS. I installed the oculus software and everything there is running great. But when I start DCS I see the screen on my monitor (what I should be seeing in the rift) but when I put on the headset I don't see anything. What am I missing? I tried following a guide on here from a 2014 post but that had me install a runtime for windows and after I did that I got nothing at all, so I did a complete reinstall and now I just want to run DCS. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello guys! VR noob question here. I installed the oculus just fine and is working beautifully. I try to start DCS but all I have is the small screen on my monitor but nothing is showing in the rift. What am I missing?
