Maggot

Hello! Could you (or someone else) please give a short explanation on how this is done? Or maybe point to an explanation elsewhere?

Hello! Had the same experience the first time, with heavy nausea after a short flight of about 10 min. I could still feel it the day after. Still went on to buy my own VR-set after a couple of months. Difficult in the beginning, a lot of really calm flying, and paused as soon as I started to feel anything. It passed in a couple of weeks. Now I have no issues at all!

So, I lowered the refresh rate fr 90 to 60 on my reverb G1. I find it introduces some discrete periferal flickering, which is irritating at first but I find you get used to it. And I definitely prefer that flickering instead of stuttering. And there’s suddenly a lot of head room to turn things up:) Raised SS in Steam VR from 100-140, turned on shadows (low settings though). I can even fly a furball instant action mission over the cities in on the channels map with almost zero stutters. Looks great! On this map the details level slider has a huge impact, and its possible to tune while in a mission to se exactly what happens. So - this will be my solution until 2.7 runs better.

So, Definitely worse performance for me in 2.7. FPs-wise maybe 10-15 less. But there’s a whole lot of stutter that doesn’t seem to be reflected in FPS-loss. With reprojection it mostly stays above 45 (jitters alot between 43-55-ish) but still lots of stutters... when looking up it locks att 45 as expected. But in 2.6 it locks at 90. So a clear difference. Sorry for my ignorance, but is it possible to have acceptable FPS but lots of stutters? Reverb G1 I7 9700 5,0 32 gb ram Rtx 2080 Super SSD Don’t think my settings are ’too high’...

I dont think it works properly. I had the same issue, only difference I AAR:ed first and then quit... Plan to play mission 3 as single mission instead from the campaign folder, where you can choose the one that starts after the first AAR, and then continue with the actual campaign at mission 4.

As already mentioned it’s perfect for safe/unsafe or master arm on/off.

Ok, will try as soon as possible, thanks for the advice!

I have removed the extention from the base when I opened up the gimbal to look for loose wires (found none) if that’s what you mean? But I haven’t removed the grip from the extention.

Hello! I have a Gunfighter mk2 (rev B) with MCG pro, and extension. About 3 years old now. Last year I had issues with the axes going out of calibration with movement of the stick. This was fixed by replacing a cable in the base, where the wire kept coming loose from the connector when the stick was moved... Lately another issue has appeard, which is that movement of the stick causes presses of different buttons, mostly 9, 18 and 23. My guess would be that this also is caused by the cables moving inside the base with stick movement. I did find an older forum post with the same issue (actually the exact same buttons) where the issue seemed to be cable related. So my question would be - do you think this is the case, and would an electronics upgrade to mk3 solve the problem? If not... suggestions?

Isn’t there an option if you contact ground crew? Like ”ask for launch” or something...? Not at the computer at the moment, and don’t remember exactly...

If you have space to keep the base game, it’s easy just to move the maps to another disk, using the windows command ”mklink /j”. The maps are what takes up most of the space. That’s how I do it at least.

Hello! Is there any way you could speculate around a timeframe for this? Days, weeks, months... ? Asking because I very recently got the campaign, and not sure If I should start it or wait:)

Exact same thing happened to me a few days ago. Has never happened before. I can’t offer any help as to the cause, but at least you’re not alone...

Loading DCS with different settings for VR and 2D Yes, try the Skatezilla program, there you can select vr/non-vr launch with different settings. No need for two separate installs.

Hello! Has anyone tried these with the first version of the throttle? I don’t remember reading that they changed the measurements of the throttle handles between v1 and v2... V1 does have ”detents”, but you do have to use a very light touch not to go into AB when going full power. This looks better!

Wow, that was horrible... just a few minutes of flight, but still feeling nausea from the stutters... I really hope this is not the intended performance...

Ok thanks, I’ll give it a try!

Hello! Does anyone now if it is possible to ”alt-tab” out of DCS and be able to see and interact with the desktop/programs such as Discord, from within the headset? I find it annoying having to lift the headset to watch the screen, in order to do such things...

I found the problem! As you can see on the picture below the green wire, and to a lesser extent the black, is creeping out of the white plastic... connector-thing. Pushing these back in seems to solve the problem. They are very loose and probably affected by the moving parts in the stick. This would explain how I initially could re-calibrate the stick by moving the stick full left and right. But it means it will probably happen again... I think I’m still under warranty (its 2 years i think?) so maybe VKB can send me a new wire with connectors... or maybe I can glue them in place? I’ll ask support. But glad to have found an easily fixable explanation! Regarding MkIII - I was seriously considering it:) But now I think I’ll wait if support doesn’t recommend it... Do you see any other gains from the upgrade?

Yes, done... At least the stick is useable with a litte tweaking in the DCS response curve, where I now only use about 60% of the stick range...

Weird calibration issue, software or hardware? Tried with unplugging the axis-connectors in the base, and ended up with this: Then did the same thing again, and now it looks like this: I have now also flashed the firmware, recalibrated etc. No luck... Still only the x-axis right is affected, everything else works.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don’t think so... Because wouldn’t that make the actual stick to not center? But it does, I can clearly feel the center detent but the calibration is off. Which, when I think about it, would point to a software issue, right? Or the sensors that track stick position? But maybe worth trying though.

Hello, My Gunfighter mk2, pro extension, MCG pro used to work perfectly but recently I have been getting a weird calibration issue with it. So, quite often when starting for example DCS the roll trim is a bit off to to the right, clearly visible in the vkb joy tester program, so its a calibration issue. If I move the stick all the way to the sides (right and left) it recenters perfectly. I don’t need to re-calibrate it. I can the use it for a while, until it suddenly gets calibrated off to the right again, and I have to repeat the process of moving the stick to full left/right position. Would you gess this is a hardware issue? Springs getting stuck or something? Or a software? I haven’t updated the firmware for... well, ever, since it has been working so well. I have tried to re-calibrate it with the vkb software but it doesn’t change anything. Another question: I’ve been getting a fair amount of crackling noise from the MCG handle itself when pulling the stick. Nothing if I hold onto the extention itself, so this issue is not in the base or base/stick-connection... I don’t really mind as long as it doesn’t eventually break the handle... I use 70- springs for each axis (40+30). Any thoughts?

[MISSING TRACK] Nevada GPS/Nav/etc. Borked in Patch 2.5.5.38040 Okey, thank you!

I tried the F18 BFM campaign (Nevada) a few hours ago. Open beta. Restarted the first mission three times, since I couldn’t get the waypoints or the moving map to work, and assumed I did something wrong in the startup procedure. Then I gave up. Was just about to read up on the start procedure again when I saw this post...
