Why the hell would Magnitude 3 post a clock when the release is entirely dependent on the patch and the patch is entirely dependent on ED? Seems like a recipe for getting peoples' hope up and then seeing it crushed.

^I knew that! Not sure how i managed to flip that around. lol

Thanks for the insight.

What is the average cruise speed for you guys? I've read that Avg speed for the OH-58D is around 125mph. However, I really struggle to keep it above 90 on the indicated air speed, which I understand is displayed in knots. That would mean I'm actually cruising around at less than 80 mph. It seems painfully slow to be getting around from point to point. Am I doing something wrong? What is the trick to getting some more consistent speed out this helo? Thanks.

I checked in the Varjo discord and this is not an isolated issue. It is impacted a lot of users, and many who are not using 50xx nvidia cards. Apparently, its been an issue for months and Varjo is yet to do anything about it. Some have had success by rolling back to earlier versions of the Base software, but this has not helped me yet. Long story short, there has been some software change that has bricked hundreds of these headsets.

Thanks for the quick reply. My Nvidia drivers are up-to-date and my Base software is too. Running 4.7.1.10. No dice. Any other suggestions?

It has been a few weeks since I fired up my rig that is connected with my Varjo Aero. Last time I used it, everything worked fine. Now, the Varjo Base software says that the headset cannot be detected. I've tried updating the Base software, I've plugged the display adapter into several different ports, plugged the USB adapter into several different ports and I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the USB-C from the little hub. When I disconnect and reconnect the USB plugs, I hear the window's "ding" so I know windows is detecting the device. Also, I can hear the headset fan and see the backlit display. There is just no image. I've made no changes to hardware or software other than routine windows updates and a few Varjo Base updates that have been rolled out over the last few days. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Thanks in advance.

I'd like a keyword search feature for the User Files section. If one exists, I haven't been able to find it.

The title of the subforum is "bugs and problems"...I had a problem. Where else should I have posted about it?

May have tracked the problem to an old aircraft mod. Is it possible for an update to DCS to create a problem with a mod that could lead to this?

I'm not sure how and I'm not sure when, but at some point all carrier based missions seem to have broken. This is across the board in the Hornet and the Tomcat and in all training missions or single missions. The mission loads straight to the F10 map and within seconds my aircraft falls into the sea and the mission ends. I've installed no new mods and tried full repair. i took a long break from carrier ops with the release of the various helos and F-4E, so its been quite some time since I have tried a carrier mission. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Thanks.

VR requirements have changed so much over the years with DCS updates and new headsets and software that I sometimes lose track of what is what. I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. For quite a long time now, every time i have updated DCS, I've bin replacing the following three files in the bin folder: D3DCompiler_47.dll opencomposite openvr_api.dll I'm running DCS with the Pimax Crystal with OpenXR Runtime set to Pimax OpenXR, since this feature was released. Do i still need to replace the above three files in the bin folder. At the risk of embarrassing myself, I've forgotten why I have been doing this process for all this time. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Does this mean there will be no update before the end of the Autumn sale on 12/9?

Why is the CH-47F pilot being modeled after Willem Dafoe?

Looks like this was fixed. Thank you.

@BIGNEWY Was this not fixed in today's patch? I don't see it mentioned in the change log. I'm away from my PC and cannot try it out. Thanks.

@BIGNEWYHey...just wanted to make sure you saw this one so it doesn't slip through the cracks. Any insight on what is causing this and/or any potential work around? I fly mostly with missions generated through the fast mission creator, so this is a big one for me. Thanks.

Ok thanks…so, it’s not just me. This is definitely a problem introduced in yesterday’s fix patch.

Anyone else having trouble with the fast mission creator since the update today? The settings for season and weather appear to be locked with the Random option. None of the other usual settings can be selected. Someone else please confirm that it is not just me! Thanks.

Thank you! And congratulations! I’ve been there….twice. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you need help too!

Hey man...just checking in on the status of your build videos. I've started making the 3D printed parts, but eventually I'm going to need to move onto the more "technical" parts and some tutorial build videos would be EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks.

Why can't we do both? Skipping the "band-aid" is sort of like cutting off your nose to spite your face. It prevents us from being able to enjoy the sim as it is intended and to no good end really. Having people with your expertise in our community is critical. You and those like you are invaluable assets. But I feel like you've let the issue with ED get too personal, which I understand, and now the entire community is left suffering. I don't think having third-parties with the right know-how finding interim solutions to the problem and loudly demanding that ED take action to repair the underlying issue are mutually exclusive. I hope you'll come around to seeing it that way because we really need you, bro.

^How do I try this? Some have said to "disable" QVFR. Others have said to "uninstall" QVFR. What exactly needs to be done to try this? I'm on a Crystal. Thanks.

This is soul crushing. I shut off eye-tracking in the Pimax Device Settings and that solved the problem. I'm getting some frame spikes and the overall quality of the image is not as good, but it solved the problem and at least let me get into the air over Afghanistan. Fixing this bug needs to be a priority for ED.

Same problem here with Pimax Crystal. Devastating to rush home after work to try the new patch and see this. Just ugh!
