Tried a search in the thread and didn't show up anything so I'd rather ask: is there a NVG toggle I'm missing for the AV8B or NVGs are not mapped and should be done through keyboard ? Thanks and sorry if it has already been answered.

I will try to increase supersampling in SteamVR instead of DCS VR options: maybe doing SS out of DCS will avoid the issue till when we get a solution...

I stand corrected: reducing super sampling below 1.6 in DCS VR Options get rid of the problem. Unfortunately, anything above 1.7 bring back the big coloured box obstructing view.

I stand corrected. Within DCS VR Options, Supersampling below 1.6 get rids of the big coloured obstruction and everything works fine. Anything above 1.7 brings in the big coloured obstruction. Even if I set supersampling at below 1.6 and get rid of issues, if I get back to above 1.6 the issue gets back there... It seems to be a supersampling issue...

I have tried reducing super sampling (in DCS) below 2 and the only thing that happened was to increase the box to cover all the area (with super sampling at 2.5 I have got the problem as per the screenshots, just left side)...

Tried cleaning up shaders, repairing launcher, changing settings in SteamVR, changing settings in DCS, changing modules. The only way to get rid of the big coloured box is to switch to NON VR. In VR, the big coloured box is there regardless of modules or settings. It changes size becoming bigger (and obstructing all front area, not just left) if I decrease super sampling within DCS options. I usually use 2.5 and with that I enjoy the obstruction you see in the screenshots. If I decrease to less than 2, the coloured obstruction obstructs pretty much all the front view. Not sure what to test or add more, hope this issue will be recognised while I’ll enjoy holidays without DCS :-(

It is an issue happening on Vive as well. No proven solution so far. See here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=227432

My super sampling setting in SteamVR is already at 100% (I set everything within the application settings) so not sure this can really help...

On Vive we have a big colored box covering one of the eyes: see here https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3727382&postcount=2 for detail and screenshots.

Additional details: the big coloured box obscuring left side happens after moving the visor (at game start it's not there). It appears and remains behind game menus (ie mission start or pause) but in front of cockpit. It moves with the headset always covering the same view area. See attached images for reference. Last Open Beta, SteamVR Beta 1.2.3, using Vive on Harrier and Hornet modules .

After updating to last Open Beta rel, on SteamVR beta as well, I am getting big coloured box on left eye (yellow or red or white). I am with a Vive. It happens just on DCS, so it’s something specific. I will document it better later on when I can, I just would like to see now if I am alone...

There's currently a bug where flight of spawning on Tarawa preventing the AV8B module to be used in DCE campaigns as well as Liberation Dinamic Campaign etc. See here as an example: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3718231&postcount=189 Would be good to get rid of it so to have same possibility/playability of other modules, not sure if it depends on RAZBAM or ED tough...

Thanks !

Same here: is there a Harrier DCE Campaign available ?

Hey there, first of all thanks for this amazing utility ! I'm wondering if the issues I am experiencing with the FA18 module while using AGM65F are wide spread or if I am alone. As you probably know TDC has to be depressed so to slew the AGM65F cursor while looking for targets. No matter which TDC DOWN key I am using (either slew control or H2 up), as soon as I push it down the cursor starts moving down left or down right, and any effort to move it in different directions doesn't work. It seems that as soon as the TDC DOWN is depressed, also a direction gets selected as well without any slewing happening. Of course if I don't keep TDC DOWN depressed I can't move the cursor. So at the moment there's no way I can target anything with the AGM65F, as getting a target locked by slewing the target designator is pure luck. Is this something happening just to me ?

Ah yes, I am also always blacking out on take off. Will use the “suggested” trim instead of the one in Chuck’s guide while waiting for a solution. Blacking out while taking off is not really a nice experience, even in a sim ...

Hey there, I'm finding that if I take off from Stennis using Chuck's Guide recommended trim based on weight (ie 19 at about 47.000), my front undercarriage get always stuck out, while if I use the "in-game" setting of 12 I have no problems (same weight of 47K). Which is the correct setting for trim at take off ? Am I doing something wrong ?

Great ! Thanks !

I have a question that I was not able to answer by trying or reading the manual: is there any possibility to start multiple operations or is it possible just to start a single operation (where player should play) ? If I push "commit" for an operation without client slots allocated, the mission is generated anyway and I have no possibility to generate further operations, so I assume this is the only possibility (generate just single operations), but then what happens to all the other operations listed in the map ? Are those happening regardless ? And what about defending from enemy attacks ? If I don't commit to that operation but I commit to another one, will that enemy attack happen anyway and succeed or simply will not happen as I've committed to another operation ?

The F18 module has similar (if not worst) limitations, however 2 DCE campaigns has been ported for it and there is plenty of material: I am not sure that this is the problem. Learning the mission editor could be an option: as I have really few time to play I prefer to learn aircrafts rather than the mission editor, maybe I am too lazy but I want to have fun during my limited quality time (for gaming/summing).

Hey there, as I'm flying just in SP, I've tried pretty much all the downloadable missions/campaign (SEDLO !) from the DCS user files site, and I've tried also the Liberation dynamic campaign (which unfortunately can be flown just from ground, as taking off from the Tarawa is impossible for wingmen due to payloads) and I'm now flying just the FA18 as I've got bored of flying always same missions for the AV8B. I've recently discovered the DCE campaigns which I'm now using for the FA18 (none available for the Harrier) and that weren't available on DCS official user files section, so I'm wondering if I'm missing further content for the AV8B... any other campaign or mission which I should try that is not available on DCS user files section ?

OK after further testing I can definitively confirm that Iran's F14s are way above my current capabilities. A CAP of 2 F14s against me and an AI wingman is hell. They spam AIM54s which has to be notched and therefore I can't get near them enough to at least try to shoot and put them on defensive. So thanks all but my current only option left is run as fast as I can if I see a "14" on my EWR, even if I'm on a fighter sweep...

OK so I am flying the Hornet over Persian Gulf campaign (DCE) and I consistently get destroyed by a CAP of Iranian F14s. They get a lock on me well before I can get a lock on them, always. Flying high, flying low, they don’t care, they get me (I’m over the sea so there’s not lot of places where to hide). Then they start firing AIM54s and I go into defensive. If I manage to avoid them, meanwhile they get closer (and still with a lock) and shoot AIM7s and keep shooting while I still have to get a lock of them. Is there anything I should do to finally have a chance against them, or at least at the moment (with some radar feature still missing and no jammer) I should simply try to stay away from those Tomcats ?

What about MSAA ? In my experience it has even a bigger impact than shadows...

On the DCE thread I have found this message: could it be relevant to the problem of AV8Bs splashing while taking off from Tarawa ? https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3678889&postcount=909
