None set

I have a Virpil CM2 with a 200mm extension, and I'm finding the Mossie and other WW2 planes very bouncy in the X plane and also tippy on the Y plane due to the 200mm extension andd stick throw, the setup is great for the Apache though. How have players setup with similar gear as the resistance in the Virpil stick is quite free, I have the heavy set springs in already and set to stiff but flying it and trimming with a 200mm extension is really tiresome trying to keep level flight and also hitting targets, I understand that its 1:1 but it is really hard work.

AI George has moved his head position back and left now when viewing him from inside the cockpit, his helmet as can clearly bee seen sticks through the rear of the seat and he is positioned to the LH side more, looking from an out side view you can see his head is more forward and centered in the seat as it should be but inside the cockpit its incorrect. I have confirmed this is the same view as other Apache uses are seeing when fling online< I have not checked with a human CPG

Yep its very hard to read in VR in the Apache (G2) both colors could do with being brighter.

This is very much needed, toggles would be great id get half my buttons back on my HOTAS to use for other stuff.

No mention of VR gun site fixes, its a pain to have to go to 2D and get out of VR just to do the CA stuff in our squads missions, the other sim has done it ok.

Hi guys im thinking of adding a Virpil Collective to my Sim-rig as I fly a lot of helicopters in DCS, I currently have a Virpil CM3 mounted to a dedicated racing rig which has been modded to use my flight gear also and I'm struggling to see how I can mount a Virpil collective and use it whilst the CM3 is mounted, if you have a rig like this can you show me your pics so I can get an idea on how you are achieving this. I have included a pic of the LH side.

All our group are just getting Vigens now so we dont spend 6-8hrs with Harpoons trying to sink one carrier group in our missions that require it.

Last night we did some hornet sticks against a small carrier group 3 ships 1 AC 1x DD 1x CC, it took over 96 harpoons to even get 1 ship sunk and some minor damage on the DD, then the Vigens came in and sunk the other 2 ships with 8 of their anti ship missiles. All harpoons were on target at the ships, the ships defenses took nearly every Harpoon out even when we all fired at the same time, same mode, same distance and from multiple engagement angles.

It doesn't help that any new module that DCS releases spams the axis controls across multiple inputs and also some main buttons like Button 1 & 2, ED would be better of leaving it a blank canvas in this regard. I have really been at a loss to figure out why common keys (listed in the General Tab) cant be used across nearly all the planes and helicopters, in one common binding category. Keys like pitch, roll, rudder, thrust, x-axis trim, y axis- trim, yaw-trim are all common across every plane, helicopters have similar common controls keys like gear, flaps up/dpwn, speed brake in/out, master arm, AG/AA are very common too. Other keys like F1 to F10, Communications, Wingman commands, rearm/refuel, cockpit and outside view keys are all common too. All the above should be under the Genral tab as 95% of users will map them to the same commands if they use them on a Hotas. Then leave complex stuff like duel throttles and other stuff to the user to map as each individual sees fit, this would help a lot with issues like the OP has mentioned.

This bug is still currently active, I was ignored by the AI once I lost parts of my KA-50 on a MP server last night and was able to carry on killing close range Sams and Shilkas

Just a note the TV/Flir mod affects the CPG if you have a human in the position, my mate was a little pissed with me as messed with is keys

For most groups I fly with its already dead in the water, we try it again after each update just in case it now works and run into the same issues time and time again after each update, some can use it some cant and it becomes tiresome trying to go through and work out with each user who has issues with this DCS feature, and the amount of time that it will take ED to complete, well that will also keep people away, I really think they should remove this feature for for now and roll it out when its 100% ready and let the internal beta testers test it to feature complete. SRS has now been fully integrated into our squad coms and auto connects on joining the servers, it just works without issues, its so simple.

Yes but it did it Steam also on a clean install.

Its been happening to me all night in various planes, Mc2000, Hornet, AV8B, so I need to turn mirrors off ??

OK for VR, straight from the install using Steam VR and a quick mission i made it ran fine better than the Marianas, my FPS never dropped below 38 which was over towns and down low in the Apache (No AI units though), I have posted my current settings using a 3090, 64gb ram i9 10850K I flew out of all the airports available Its impressive for EA and such a big map, I'm happy with my purchase based on what Razbam have said and i have seen, the Falkland's is obviously the most finished part as far as textures go but i really didn't see anything that I thought wow that looked crap and i flew out of all the available airports in jets (F16 & MC200) and helicopters (AH64), it certainly will bring a another good map to DCS. But boy its large and I cant see it all being used for missions as there is so much space to utilize and really around the Chile area there isn much in the way of towns or infrastructure yet (but it is remote). The Falklands were just as my dad describe a wind swept crap hole with nothing but wet areas and boggy swamps and not much vegetation, it looks great. Its going to be interesting to see what type are missions will be built, I can see them being very localized to areas which will be quite good as the terrain is varied and very different than the Cacucus. Compared to the tiny Marianas map this runs so much smoother and is 1 millions times larger For an EA I give it 8/10

Im grabbing it now, we have similar PC specs, and both have similar Marianas performance on our rigs, ill be running OpenXR with my settings I use for Syria and will report back with low level heli flights in various places.

I have set up the Zoom functions from the custom controls section, its working well. Add the 1200 round mod in now so one lest mod to install in OvGME

RackMonkey, thanks for your OVGME file its working great and its nice to be able to see the TV view now from the pilots seat.

DCS enable the FFB option by default on a fresh install, its about time that option was made a user tick so this stops catching people out.

Just tried in VR today, Intel i9 10850k @3.6ghz, 3090 64gb Open XR most settings on high except shadows and no MSAA Ah64D instant action tour flight across the main map, maintained 35fps, dipped to 30fps over the main AF base, I wouldn't call it smooth in motion looking out the side windows, it was better than its first release, but then this mission had no AI except a couple of F16s flying around and a CV group of the coast.

Hi I have the CPG RH grip Flir button bound to my Virpil joystick, in SP it switches between White Hot and Black Hot fine and stays in the mode I have switched too, in MP its flicks on to Black Hot but wont stay on and goes back to White Hot right away, can anyone else check who playes as a CPG online. I have tried several buttons and they all act the same. Cheers

The poster didnt show his VR DCS settings, it would be interesting to see them and then we can try it, im on a 3090 to. I will have another look today but im not expecting good results

Our group is getting a lot of CTDs with the latest update, the last update was really stable for the whole month, im running OpenXR as it was normally a SteamVR crash for me rather than a DCS crash, but now its most defiantly a DCS CTD. I have included my log files Logs.zip
