Appart from the scale, not forcing IPD or using high values like the default 65 i feel EXTREMELLY cross-eyed and just straining to see anything, i have to keep it around 18 so it feels the best for me, kind of weird really and stuff like the stick feels kind of huge

as a new user to the O+ I would very much appreciate deeper insight of your configs and adaptations

Thanks for you reply, I've found that I can get good readbility with MSAA 4x and PD 1, also higher frame rates for same readbility/msaa off, did you experiment with that? I'll try your settings later on 2x MSAA and let you know

Hello all, So I just got my new O+ (first VR) and just wanna start saying it's amazing just the world scale and aircraft size as you look behind you swept off my feet That said I have a couple of questions since this is my first VR and I don't know whats "normal" Biggest issue here is that the image gets blurryer and blurryer as it more off the center of the lenses, meaning i can't read anything close to the edges where it's very blurry, is that normal? Also whats the things I can try to mess with to improve readibility? I managed to bring the PD up to 1.8 with no frame loss and i can kind of read stuff on the DDIs for exemple, but i need to get close to read for instance the altitude of the target on the RDR page, any settings i can try to mess with in DCS itself or maybe nvidia control panel? Oh and when I launch DCS this window pops up with some VR settings for projection, didn't touch that, should I? Thanks in advance, specs are bellow

Hello all, I ran into a problem yesterday where I couldnt cycle the kneeboard pages using the [ and ] key commands, I tried remapping them and everything, it DID work when i mapped it to a button on my hotas, did anyone run into this as well?

The raid will work regardless of you selecting the DDI (not sure if it's suppose to), the uncage button on the other hand will not

Sorry to revive this post, but i've been having the same issue and I did not understand the fix, can anyone walk me through it step by step? thanks a lot

Awesome, thank you!

Make sure E3 have EPLRS on command on the spawn waipoint advanced settings

Hello all I been wondering if in the future the data shown on the SA page via link 16 would be shown in the radar display even if it not beeing seen by the radar search, or even if its on SIL mode, even better if it would provide the IFF info as different symbology in the radar screen itself as it's beeing tracked and IFFed by other aircraft, as I recall from a different sim that it was a thing unless I am mistaken, I was wondering if it's and early access thing or if the hornet does not have that integration, will it be possible in the future to for instace depress TDC on the SA page and have the radar lock the target instead of keep switching DDIs back and fourth? Better yet replace the radar attk screen compleatly with just the SA page. Also if in the future it would be possible to launch fox 3 at targets provided by other aircraft while having the radar on SIL as a sort of cooperative TWSish thing If I'm wrong on both that, what are the biggest funcionality highlights I should expect from Link 16 once it's compleate? Sorry if any of those are dumb questions Thanks

Actually the biggest proof its not functioning is exactally the distancing beeing the same while NOT using the proper braking technique: we are getting the same results with it on and off while applying full brakes in which anti-skid should make the difference from maximum performance braking vs instant lockup followed by blown tires

Same thing happens with agm65s on the warthog

Thats just so wrong, you can most def lock up your wheels in any surface there is WAY more then enough brake pressure for that

So given the data on our findings should this be moved to bug report or something? I would like a dev to comment on the matter

You can notice the higher fuel flow when on flight idle, around 1000lbh

+1

This is great, so def still not implemented, pitty

Thing is you keep stating things that are not beeing disputed... I just posted some testing on the center focus on the thread that seems to confirm that antiskid is not currently working in the hornet

Actual testings Alright so I just did some "scientific" testings: 2 approaches one with askid on and one off, same config same touch down spot (roughly) same speed both on speed AoA, no flare and maximum brakes on pedal and idle thrust as soons as touch down. First the skid marks: Pic 1 and 2 shows skid on and off respectivelly, you can observe the skid marks looks the same. Second the braking distance, I stopped roughly at the same spot on both configs, a little shorter by .14nm with antiskid off which is courious considering full brake pedals and the skid marks at least looked the same, probably just touched down slightly earlier, I also was slight lighter from the new pattern (Pic 3 skid on, 4 skid off, pics 5 and 6 map with ruller for on and off respectivelly) This data leads me to belive that the anti-skid switch on the hornet currently does absolutelly nothing at all, it's just a functionless switch at the current early access state Feel free to cary tests yourselves and let me know if you find otherwise On a related noted, someone mentioned about the flight and ground idle, I observed the if you put your throttles to idle before you have weight on wheels it will indeed go to flight idle and stay that way thoughout the landing roll unless you move the throttles afterwards, I didnt not know it did that, very intresting (both tests were made on idle after WoW)

I see your point, but I still find it very hard to belive that some would be able to maintain perfect braking manuelly better then an eletronic device in the aircraft, there is just too many things varying, even the predal pressure itself is hard to maintain the same as the aircraft shakes on the runway. Im not sure about the hornet, but I can tell you what I fly, quoting the manual "The antiskid system provides maximum braking efficiency by maintaining the wheels at the limit of an impending skid." The way it works is that gear tachometers send info to the system, if the wheel speed is below i belive 87% of the aircraft reference speed it sends a release order to the brakes as to maintain maximum brake performance, threshold braking as you mentioned, it does this calculation many times per second, based on that I dont belive a human could do better with not antiskid whatsoever

I did not feel insulted at all, no idea why you implied that, the line you quoted i simply stated facts, anti-skid grately improves landing distance there is no argue that, it's not a matter of opinion, it's crazy to compare a race car driver to an aircraft pilot, there is so much that varies on the tire performance on any given landing while you brake, the lift on your wings as you slowdown, the angle of attack as your nose bounce slightly on the nose wheel spring, the conditions of the runway itself, not to mention you can't compare a professional who brakes hundres of times per hour and is trained to make sure to get it perfect everytime to a pilot ta brakes once every flight, not to mention the brake pedals are completly different. Anyways this is all irrelevant to the point: antiskid improves perofrmance, thats a given. The question at hand is if it's performance is modeled correctly on the hornet or not, nothing more

I been wondering about the skins for navy bombs instead of the airforce ones for the hornet, sounds relativelly simple and quick and a great touch

Of course but let's get back on topic, the skid marks shown on the hornet when you apply full brakes with anti-skid on is clearly a lockup, either the effect is wrong, or the antiskid is no modeled correctly, thats my point on this thread and I'm trying to figure out which one is it. So lets stop comparing the size of our things and focus on the topic

If you are you should probably know that there is no way a human can apply maximum manual brakes and do as good of a job as the anti-skid to prevent wheels lock-up, especially in wet runways, so i can 100% assure you the anti-skid inop will most def increase landing distance

This is actually intresting, I didn't realize that if I idle before we have WoW it might go to flight idle, I'll do some testing that and get back to you on the throttle bahaviour
