I know we can turn and adjust speed using combined arms via a game master slot, but is there any way to do this while flying in a jet? I'm looking for a way to steer the Tarawa into the wind, and to adjust speed for cyclic ops, without having to jump out of a jet and slot into game master slot.

The DCS in cockpit lever does not seem to follow a linear path when you apply it to an arc. I initially tried to use math, but it didn't work so I had to actually mark each position and drill. If you look closely, you can see those holes are not evenly spaced, yet in game they line up just about perfect. The recent update that gave the STO axis "detents" screwed it up a bit, but it's still close enough. Nah, it's INOP

I've heard good things about the Reverb G2, but I never tried one. I had a G1, and prefer the 8kx as the FOV is much larger with about the same resolution. Where we at on settings these days? I tried that whole SSS at 500% and PD .5 or whatever, seems fine but I was reading that it's a myth? i9 9900, RTX3090, 32 GB

Ebay. Every shape and color can be found there.

Harry I'm not sure if you can sponsor 2 people, but I'm also seeking access if you wouldn't mind. I currently have a 5 dof that I scratch built, using SCN6 actuators and Frex power. I'm upgrading to an SFX100 setup, using 110ST motors that I will adapt to fit the 90ST mounts. I'm also using an 80ST to drive traction loss/yaw. Adding the Gseat and Gbelt tensioner added 100 lbs to my rig, and I've now overloaded my SCN6's. I have all the SFX parts on order now.

This is the GS5 G seat. https://www.simxperience.com/products/motionsimulatorkits/gs-5g-seat.aspx I'd be interested to know how you setup the forces in simtools? What plugin are you using?

Simtools can control the SFX100 actuators with the Thanos motion controller: https://www.tindie.com/products/tronicgr/amc-aasd15a-servo-motion-controller/ I currently have a 5sof platform that I designed and build using SCN60 actuators. I recently added a G5 G seat, and the rig is now too heavy for the SCN60s to move, so I'm about to start the SFX100 build, using the larger 110ST motors. I'll start a thread when I get rolling and link it from here. For your Gseat, how is the DCS integration?

The price would be off the scale. For my time it would be somewhere around $1500, that's why I never bothered to try and sell them. Thrustmaster is now producing a set of airbus levers. These are made to work with their airbus throttle quadrant, but with a Bodnar board and some light fabrication, you could easily make these into Harrier Nozzle levers.

What are you doing with Steam VR settings?

FPS VR for CPU/GPU times. I'll give the Pimax upscaling a try, I never messed with it.

Just got my 8kx and set it up last night. System Gigabyte RTX 3090 I9 9900 KS 5.0 32g RAM PiTool 1.0, Steam 100% Pixel Density 1.4, FOV normal My usual test is to takeoff at AlDahfra and fly out over the city to the NW (I don't pay much attention to frame rates, I worry more about how it feels.) The SDE is mostly gone, but still there is you look for it. I'd put the clarity up there with the HP Reverb I have (last year's version), with a much greater FOV. I also have a 5K, and I'll say it's a big improvement both in FOV, SDE, and clarity. I still have lots of tweaking to do but my initial impression was good. The CPU is now my bottleneck, with frame times pushing 30ms with the above settings. I have to play with MSAA and all that, I took 3 months off of DCS and see there are a lot more settings there. Fit is a little strange, as I can't get the rear pad to set low on my head, because the hinge doesn't allow enough rotation. With some playing around I got a decent fit with my void headset, but I'm sure some aftermarket solutions will appear so I'm not sweating that. Now the bad stuff: I have the "snowy pixels" right out of the box. It's very minor, but I'm sure will continue to get worse. Went through 3 cables on my 5k in a little over a year, so I know the drill. I also have scratches on both my lenses. I need to test more, but I cannot see them while I'm playing. If they appear, it will be during night flying so I'll test that tonight. I emailed Pimax, and they offered me a $50 coupon. Yeah right. I'm either going to live with it, or send the whole thing back. Video of the scratches here: Would it be beneficial for us to start a separate 8KX thread?

I'm in for updates for DCS support on the GS-5G Seat, as I'm considering one. I'd also add the belt tensioner. Any word on this?

I contacted simexperience, turns out they do not support DCS and have no plans to. Maybe if enough people asked them?

Any updates? Were you able to get this working in DCS? I'm considering one.
