  1. Thanks! Any opinion on which Foveated is better? How are you finding the tracking using 1 Lighthouse?
  2. I just ordered an Aero to replace my G2v2, and i'm a bit lost on what I should do with all the stuff from the G2. I actually went back to a post I made in Jan. 2022 when I had an Aero on order (order cancelled after 5 months) about re-setting some stuff in Steam (i'll show it below). I assume I uninstall "Windows Mixed Reality for Steam VR", but leave OpenXR Toolkit alone? Here is what Varjo posted way back when.. please let me know of any other prep things that should be done, then I will go through this thread to properly set up for DCS (and hopefully IL-2).. From the Varjo Discord on January 2022: "If you have had other headsets installed it seems that SteamVR may get a bit "confused" and cause issues. Here is the definitive way to get SteamVR back to a fresh install for the Aero.. https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/2/1640917625015598552/ In a nutshell - 1. Close Steam and Steam VR 2. Delete "default.vrsettings" from x:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\SteamVR\resources\settings folder 3. Delete "steamvr.vrsettings" from x:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Config folder 4. Delete "lighthousedb.json" from x:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Config\lighthouse folder (in my case coming from a G2 the Lighthouse folder was empty) 5. Start the Steam app, be sure Games and Tools are checked so SteamVR shows up in the list. Right click SteamVR then \Manage\UNINSTALL 6.Go back and look in x:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\SteamVR\ folder, delete all contents under it. 7. Go back into Steam, select SteamVR, click the big Blue INSTALL button.. Done."
  3. You would know better than me! Thing is with Varjo, it seems that at least they are constantly improving.
  4. I like him because he is one of the few focusing on flight sims. I think he gives his honest opinion, as he states the strengths and weaknesses of what he tests. Just my €.02. Guys like MRTV are the ones that make me crazy...
  5. I am now selling my HP G2v2 as I just bought the Aero. Lightly used HP G2v2 FS with VR Optician lenses (I wear 2x readers) and Creative Studio headstrap w/250 gm weight.. €400 shipped in EU or €350 picked up in Valencia, Spain. Please remove if this is not allowed.

    HP G2v2 FS

    Just bought an Aero. Lightly used HP G2v2 FS with VR Optician lenses (I wear 2x readers) and Creative Studio headstrap w/250 gm weight.. €400 shipped in EU or €350 picked up in Valencia, Spain. EDIT: SOLD and gone..
  7. Not everyone agrees about the #2 rating..
  8. Using the "Smooth" setting, it should start at the degree setting you put in "Start at" and rotate the number of degrees you set in "Amplify by". so if both are at 45 degrees it should kick on when you turn your head 45 degrees and then add another 45 degrees. I set Autorotation Off, and then assign a hat to add 80 degrees to my L/R views, and 30 degrees to my UP view.. I never liked the auto, made me woozy.. Not sure why its doing that, but I would try changing the XRNeckSafer.cfg file to Read-Only and see if it works..
  9. I remember thinking it was impossible when I first tried her, then after MANY YT videos and reads here we came to an understanding.. IIRC it was prop decreased pitch, gradual power increase, lots of right stick and some rudder... becomes natural after a while.
  10. I considered the "Green Spring" mod and a good smoothing/re-greasing with a top quality lubricant, along with the new teflon top bushing, then saw the cost was going to be almost 1/2 of what the WarBrd base would cost so went that way.. Night and day difference in quality.
  11. I've been using a WartHog for the past 5 years, modded the throttle from almost Day 1 with Deltasims slew/AB Detent (push through) mod, changed the stick base to a VPC WarBrd (100x better quality), performed perfectly ever since. I use a TARGET Dx128 script (simply assigns all switch/hat/button positions on the throttle a DX#), you just need to assign the Virpil base the same PID/VID as the OEM base and TARGET sees it as TM.. all explained online in various places. I also used the TM calibration routine to eliminate seeing the travel behind the Lift up/pull back area so it starts at 0 at the spot before the lift up and goes to 100% at full travel (after AB detant). The "Idle" (pull up) area is for jet sims and I simply use the KB command to achieve this. For prop sims this way is much better (for me)...
  12. A bug in DCS? No way! No idea about the issue, need to start flying her again, love the 109.
  13. Well that works out well, i'm in Valencia (Ruzafa), are you close enough to pick it up (free)?
  14. That's part of the stock joystick base? I have a new (~1 hour use) base that I replaced with a VPC WarBRD base sitting in a box, if you are in the EU I would just ask shipping costs but will not ship outside the EU (customs)..
  15. Thank you again for all the work you do for us! One thing you may want to address as it can be confusing for the already confused - the note in the install procedure reads "Note: You do not need to install the previous version of OpenXR Toolkit if you had one installed. The new version will overwrite the previous one." I think you meant You do not need to uninstall the previous version of OpenXR Toolkit if you had one installed..
  16. I would suggest looking/asking on the OpenXR Discord here, mbucchia is very responsive, bet it's been asked before...
  17. Welcome back, good luck with that statement if you ever try someone's Warthog throttle with a VirPil WarBrd base installed...
  18. Just to let you know, that was it. The menu screen was actually offset almost behind me. Same thing happened yesterday in iRacing, that binding has to be se in every game apparently! Thanks again @speed-of-heat!
  19. Have not been in DCS VR for quite a while, tried using OpenXR (which used to work) and I get the VR "exploding stars" screen but then nothing for a second, then it tries again and it's just black. Switched back to SteamVR (using OpenComposite Runtime Switcher) and all works fine.. IL-2, no issue starting in OpenXR. Am I brain-farting a switch in settings I missed?
  20. For you G2 users, just stumbled on the fact the Windows program "OpenXR Tools for Windows Mixed Reality" just got an update and "auto-update" will not update it. Go to the Microsoft Store, find it, and you likely will see a "Update" button. A video about it here - , he says it makes a major improvement in IL-2 so maybe DCS also... we shall see.
  21. That is not OpenXR Toolkit, that is OpenXR Tools for Windows Mixed Reality.. This is OpenXR Toolkit
  22. What "rightmost tab", There are no tabs in the XRToolkit I have, just checkboxes and key assignments for navigation in the app...
  23. I closely followed the setup instructions for OpenXR\OpenComposite after removing my video drivers and reinstalling (using NVCleanstall) just GPU\PhysX\Audio drivers from Nvidia (cutting out all their bloatware and telemetry). Used Skatezilla's DCS Updater tool to Update\Repair\Clean my DCS install, modified settings using OpenXRToolkit, worked great.
