@Bunny Clark, any idea why I am getting the error above with your interface?

Thanks man, stumbled on that thread and working on it now!

I have the same issue, Bunnys Interface (DCS.AH-64D.hif.json) is installed in x:\Program Files\Helios Virtual Cockpit\Helios\Interfaces (with all the other DCS Interfaces). x:\Documents\Helios (as shown in the error messages ) does not contain an "Interfaces" folder. Creating one, dropping in "DCS.AH-64D.hif.json" does nothing. Looking at the error it seems to be looking for DCS.NAH-64D.hif.json, and renaming the Interface gives the same error. Also, I get 3 errors in Process Control as it is looking for Short/Alarm1/Alarm2.wav files in C:\SoundTest\SoundTest.exe, which does not exist. These I can ignore but I doubt I can ignore the Interface error. Any ideas? This is where I am -

Fantastic finding this thread, just got the AH64 and was hoping someone had created a profile I could "steal" the MFDs and some critical gauges from for my 8" Lilliputs with TM Bezels! Have not used Helios in quite a while in DCS (did set up my F-16 MFDs a while back) but am very familiar with using it in the "other" F16 sim, will re-read through here and hopefully figure it out!

Is their a Helios profile out there (not on Zeen's site that I see) for the Apache? Would really be nice to have....

Don - You've got my finger hovering over the "Order Now" button again, but I still need some sort of mod to allow me to see behind me.. <sigh>... someday!

Don - Been off the Varjo discord since my order got pushed back and I cancelled, how is it coming along, have they fixed some of the complaints?

Have you tried different (direct to mobo) USB outlets?

They do a nice job on ground targets (in IL-2) also!

I'm hoping the "cool new fix" not only negates the need for the WMR tool but also adds a scaling function to headset movement, basically integrating VRNeckSafer into the app itself..

I would suggest to any Varjo owner that you hop on the "Varjo Gamers Club" Discord, there is a DCS section among many others... https://discord.gg/

It is the radar slew hat for the F-16 also, quite important..

Mine is less than a year old, this video was spot on for the Delta install.. now replace the Warthog stick's base with the VirPil WarBrd base and be a happy guy!

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.

I would suggest you take a look at the most active Varjo discussion at he Varjo Gamers Club Discord. There are sections for DCS/IL-2, and general discussions.. New headsets are arriving daily and being written about/reviewed. I found the Quest 2 horrible, the G2 much better but not good enough, and have high hopes for the Varjo to pull me away from 2D..

Defects are never good but happen to the best manufacturers. How they DEAL with it is what sets the stage for the future. From what I am reading Varjo has listened to the reports, identified and rectified the problem at the assembly line stage in China, and stepped up with this policy of re-ship a new unit immediately (BEFORE you ship yours back!). Unheard of in general, and once again has made me comfortable with my purchase (and wait..).

I would ask them on their official support page...

Isn't this the fix?

I couldn't use the G2 on DCS or IL2 without labels on as no matter what I did the planes were little black fuzzballs out beyond 1k and I could not ID them so I had to get real close before firing, which of course if it's an enemy it is not beneficial to wait as they know exactly who you are.. sent it back.

This fix?

Much more up to date info on the Aero on the "Varjo Gamers Club" Discord, and an area just about DCS World.. I hope to have mine by the end of this month.

Have you gone on the Varjo Gamers Club Discord to look for help? There is a sub-group "flight Sims/#dcs-world" there and Varjo, while not officially, "watches" that discord.. I do believe the Varjo requires SteamVR, is this part of the issue? Seems like many have run DCS with Varjo headsets quite successfully? My biggest worry is getting VRNeckSafer to work with it when it arrives, or pray DCS or IL2 institute their own solutions for checking 6 for us without owl-necks.. I have been in contact (use the form on Varjo's site) with support and they have been extremely quick to respond, and I don't even own one yet! As for the internet connection, you have to remember they are a company that wants their equipment to always be fully updated so every headset is the same to be able to support it well. I have 0 issues with that... IIRC every time I start DCS it looks for an update, no?

I'm afraid your in for a bit of a shock, I don't hit 90fps with the G2 putting out "acceptable" graphics with an i9-9900k at 5gz and an RTX3090.. i'm close at 85+ with low frame times but I'll take my flat screens over it any time.. Maybe next year something will come out that can be run on a high end system that matches 2D, but it's not here yet..

Yes, mine is quite sturdy but I think they have changed the design since I got mine so it may be different. I velcro' d the KB on the plate normally used for the Steering wheel and repurposed a spare plate that came with it for the mouse pad.. Something to keep in mind, on my model there is limited space (width) for rudder pedals, only ones I know fit are CH and the MFG w/width adjustment add-on..

And so it goes... For me it's back to flatscreen and TrackIR, though I am keeping the G2 for a bit. It's substantially better than the Q2 (to me) but still not good enough. Biggest issue right now is for the G2 its one or the other as it uses one of my DisplayPorts so I can't just put it down and fly, have to disconnect it..
