Hello guys. Wasn't there an update for WMR coming from MS yesterday (201208)? What happened to it? Was it any good? Did it change anything? Havn't heard about it. Regards Michael

Great work and findings Notso. Thanks a lot for your efforts and for sharing them. Very useful and appriciated. Overall I find the posters in this forum very helpful and polite, so a big thumbs up to all of you. :thumbup: Best regards Michael

One thing more that could be worth to check, if you havn't done already, is that the power cable is working as it should. If the panels don't get enough power it could be harder for them to show the pictures as they are supposed to. Especially in higher frequencies. Just a thought. Michael

Can't wait to take part of your thoughts. :) Michael

Don't mean so much when you don't tell the circumstances, such as your IPD (sry for writing IPS before). Are your IPD within the Rift S scale and how about the G2? Michael

Daniel, What do you mean by more noticeable? Do you mean bigger and wider? Thanks for quick replay.

Thanks for your answer Daniel. I already have the 1080ti and a RiftS. One thing that's disturbing me about the RiftS is the sweetspot I think. My IPS is relative big, 69 cm, and the Rift don't match it very well in my opinion. Therefore I hope the G2 can do the match better, since it have a IPS lever. Ofc, in my situation, not a billionare I am, its very important if the G2 is worth the money for me. That would depend on the picture quality as I see it. If it will be much better than I have for the time beeing, it would be top of my world and very much worth the money. Even if it will be difficult to set up. I reckon that difficulties will be one time problem and thereafter not so much more. Michael PS. Sry if I sound a little awkward, but I'm not a native speaker.

Thanks Don. That's the kind of reports I am looking for. Is it worth the trouble and the money if your'e a dedicated DCS'er? Or simmer in broad?

@ eaglecash and Burnerski. Well, as one of the many that right now sitting of the fence, considering paying a big part of my salary if I decide to buy it, and as a DCS lover that I am as well, it would be nice to hear folks that got it already if they feel this headset makes a difference in DCS. In the handling of flying that is. So you have to excuse me if I think your ranting of setting this thing up is not so important. I would like to hear if you think the end result when it comes to flying is ok or not. In DSC that is. If you have anything to tell us in this matter it would be great. Michael

Please do. I'm sick and tired of the Oculus/Facebook software, that forces you to be a fan of Facebook, and would be very happy to take over your headset. You can ship it directly to me. I'll give you my adress in PM. Michael

Maybe you want to make your headline and comment a little less demanding, shouting and acting like a three year old? Yes?

+1 from Sweden.

Hello dear fellow flighters!:) I promised you a more complete view on the Rift S when I last wrote on this forum. Since then it has gone a couple of weeks and many of you have given your opinions. I have not much to add to the general views. I like it. And will keep it. I have an IPD of 69 and had problems in the beginning with blur effects outside a very small (compared to the CV1) sweet spot that I thought had to do with my IPD. It turned out to be a problem with the vertical tilt. Having the halo in the position it felt natural from the beginning, I have now adjusted the over head band (or what you call it) so the thing sits more "up" on my head. And that seems to have fixed the small sweet spot. Conclusion: It was no problem with the horizontal position, it was the vertical position that gave me the blurriness. :smartass: Other than that I have bought a JBL Tune 500 on ear headphones for 299 SEK (approx 30 bucks). Suits well with the Rift S halo (at least on my head) and descent sound for that money. Best regards Michael

Thanks for the heads up. Will try it. :thumbup:

Forgot to tell. I tried it in the F14. Minor improvements in the cockpit IMO. Most indicators with small text are still unreadable. Looking out the canopy though, felt definitely sharper.

PS, thanks for the cheers all of you.:)

Hello guys. Due to that f*cking sh*t program of Windows updates, I had to sit looking on that sh*t Windows updating bar in hours before I had the chance to try out my new toys. I began with the Oculus. Can't say I'm very impressed so far. I find it very hard to hit the sweet spot. I have an IPD of 69 (messured by an optician) so maybe that's the main reason for my problems, I don't know. When I'm in the sweet spot it looks great, but when I'm not it looks extremely blurry. More than the CV 1. All this seems very depending of how you set the halo on your head. I have to test more Before I can give it a final verdict. Audio is crap as many already have told. Some says it's sufficient for DCS. Not in my opinion. Although I have volume on highest level in both Oculus Home, Windows and DCS the sounds come out very muted. If I going to keep it I will have to buy a descent headphones. The Warthog I havn't had time to try yet (due to that sh*tty Windows update). I'll be back.:joystick:

I am ready to go. :thumbup:

Fellow DCS users. Just for you information. Today I managed to do my first successful landing on the runway. I almost had more than half the runway left when she stopped, thanks to you guys. Spoilers on and a more gentle handling on the stick to aft seemed to made the trick. I'm still to fast on touchdown (approx 170- 180 knots) but it never the less went well for the first time in my history. I will be training more, but this was a milestone for me. So I thank you guys for all the support. See you in air. Michael

Thank you IronMike, and all the rest of you, for your support. Now I have input enough to train for weeks and hopefully learn to do this masterpiece more justice than at the moment. I wish I could throw likes at you in the UI. I do it this way instead.:thumbup: Regards Michael

Hi again and once again thanks for your kind answers. I have tried some more landings now applying your tips. First of all. I've checked the speedometer more carefully this time and it seems I usually come in in approx 200 knots, not the 250-300ish I said before. Still to fast, I know, but it seems I have difficulties to fly her more slow allthough I o.f.c. use flaps and airbrakes before the landing. I have to train more on this part. Second. In that speed I can't pull the stick aft at all. That will only result in a touch and go. So I push it full forward to begin with instead. That helps a lot. Not to the extent I manage to stop within the tarmac, but not far from it. Training, training and more training I need to exercise. But your tips really helped. Thanks a lot. M

Thanks. Seems I have lots to learn. In Viggen, with thrust reverse, landing is a piece of cake.:D M

Thank you all for your kind and helpfull answers. I'll try to move the stick aft after landing. Or forward if that doesn't help. :-) I usually try to land in 250-300 knots. Is that to fast? Carrier landings I have not tried yet. Want to learn how to land her normally first. Regards Michael

Hello guys. You have to excuse me my novice status, but I find it very difficult to stop the Cat once on the tarmac. It seems the wheelbrake is slow as hell, and every time I've had a lucky landing on the tarmac I pass it through, ending up in the woods as well. What do I do wrong? Wheelbrakes are functioning well (set on my Fanatec gear pedals V3) when I taxi out to the starting strip, so I don't think that's the problem. Regards Michael

Thank you Heatblur team! You makes me proud to be a Swede again. Hälsningar/Greetings Micke
