  1. Skyrim VR is one of the most modded, open-world ports ever made for virtual reality and now you can add Nvidia DLSS support ... It is my sincere hope that the ED Team will make DCS DLSS work seamlessly with VR. So far, my experience with VR in DCS has been extremely positive.
  2. I hope so. I would be embarrassed to let you know how many years I have been trying to get it in and keep it there ... the basket.
  3. Thanks for the reply MAX... I use voiceattack w/ modified viocom now. I did not/was not aware of the RAlt + \. Will give this a try.
  4. I know I hear a lot of talk about "this is secret. no information. we therefore cannot model it"...but we can't just make it up either, after all this is reality??? No nuke, missles that do not travel their real life distance, arcade game style flaming cliffs F-15C, etc. is not reality either. So I humbly request the ability for in-game reality management. As an example, for starters, a 50% increase to the thrust of the engines of the FA-18C. Remember - missles don't go their full distance, so why shouldn't the jet go faster that it would normally? IRL F18 Superhornet has been put up for an increase of 20% thrust to its engines. Even those who built the real thing, realize it is under powered for that task at hand.
  5. Would you consider a voice actuated system for controlling dcs functions in the game? I go from my hardware, to third party software, program that software to what I "hope" will be understood by the dcs software that I just programmed...and a lot of the time it does not work. Especially with the "menu \" function. Plain spoken "built in" phrases that dcs world clearly and natively understands with a standard mic input, would be fantastic. Also a user interface to change phraseology as needed. At the end of the day, there are MANY more command functions that I need during game play than I have buttons, switches, dials, and sliders on my mouse and hotas setup.
  6. Could you put an "easy mode" into dcs world for those of us that are trying to master A/A refueling.
  7. I have flown this "dcs" hornet for a few years now. Max that I can get out of it is 1.2M. Admittedly I haven't really tried to push the limits...but... Just wondering how fast you guys have been able to push this bird ! update: Stipped it to a flying gas can, and at FL30 managed to squeeze 1.83
  8. Thank you. I will do that. update: Took a few tries (guesswork) but managed to change a training mission.
  9. I have installed the super hornet mod. The spash sceen at start up shows a super hornet as the theme. Inside cockpit and outside aircraft remain fa-18c. What am I missing? Help is appreciated. Thank you.
  10. DCS is a great "game". Love it. It is a game, not a true to life simulation. It chooses to have 40 year old aircraft with no up to date technology. Top secret you say...I say BS. F-15EX is full glass cockpit - IRL 2021. You don't need top secret clearances, or classified manuals to make a jets engines go faster, faster, more power captain! Not need for antiquated aircraft unless that's the game you want. Ok, so for the F-18. It is a good ground pounder. It is a dog for air to air. A good air to air - shouldn't need to have to "conserve energy" when you ass is on the line. Push throttle forward and those puppies you head you straight up for the moon, no questions asked with lots of life saving thrust / airspeed to spare (remember - it is only a GAME). Since we know that DCS missles are deliberately hampered to go LESS distance than in real life, and they justify their actions, then we can make the F-18 engines deliberately go faster than in real life. Truth is, should have built the F-18E Super Hornet, not the old slow C model. But what is done is done. Have 1100+ hours in the C model and it is a good one - for ground work. Its the F-22 that should have been put in the DCS A LONG TIME AGO. If I had the skill to do a real to life looking F-22 I would do it myself. That is the premiere glass cockpit air to air superiority fighter. Where is the IRL looking F-22 with monstrous engine power and super tight air to air maneuvering. Remember, at the end of the day, it is just a "game" not an IRL simulation. My 2 cents. Yours may vary.
  11. As in real life: 1. I always fly with 2 engines, not one. 2. I have 1200 hours and change in this hornet, not about to start all over flying another incomplete model. Sorry.
  12. 1. My bad for the repeated same waypoints. Did not understand to use the map to move the red dot to selection point. Dot stayed in the same place, while I used my mouse pointer for waypoint selection. Of course, all waypoints would then be the same. Sorry. 2. But...it would be VERY usefull if you could import elevation somehow. I would help you if I could, but I'm not a programmer. Anyway, very much thanks for what you have accomplished for us in the DCS F-18 community!!!
  13. I have it installed and running. I can get the points on the map selected just fine. My problem is when I go to transfer it to the F-18, the data does not start entering on the waypoint I have selected, sometimes it repeats the first selected waypoint for all waypoint entries, and none of the waypoint entries show a change of elevation - all 0. I go to /menu/hsi/data/select the first waypoint with no data entered and then select the transfer button.
  14. So dim, MAP is completely useless in VR. Been that since day 1 that it came out.
  15. Excellent response. Just what I needed. Thank you.
