[Slaw Device RX Viper V2 Rudder Pedals]

For me it was worth the wait. It is so well constructed. I am seriously impressed by the quality. I don’t think I will ever need to buy another set of pedals again. I didn’t like the quality of the TM pedals. They seemed like cheap pot metal.

 

They feel so realistic, and the heft to move them I love. It keeps me from over controlling the yaw.

[Warthog Throttle TARGET Script with DX Outputs for All Switch and Rocker Off States]

Sorry for the bump, but I am trying to use this to set up my throttle (Warthog Throttle, Virpil T-50MC2 with F-18 stick, and Slew Rudder Device).

 

 

 

When I run the script, I have When I go to settings I see: Rudders Thrustmaster Virtual Throttle, and VPC stick. Is this right, I was told there should be Warthog Throttle and a Virtual Throttle. Should it be two or should it be one?

 

 

Thank you for helping a newbie.

 

 

EDIT: Can I use this in IL-2:GB?

[New DCS Player]

Well, I'm not new new, but I haven't flown in over 3 years and now this time I have a HOTAS instead of a little stick and basically being a keyboard typist.

 

 

I want to start practicing on the F/A-18. I have a Warthog Throttle and a Virpil T-50CM2 base with the F/A-18 Grip. Does anyone have a profile/set up for that set up that most closely mimics the real F-18 HOTAS?

 

 

Thanks

AA,

 

Thank you!

[Valve Index Hands On]

I cannot release any info until the NDA expires but I can say the Index is the absolute best I have personally experienced when it comes to setting IPD. (and I have personally tried the Rift, the Rift S, the Samsung Odyssey Plus, the Vive Pro, the Pimax 5K and a few custom made headsets made here in the College of Engineering)

 

 

Do you get a better sense of speed in DCS than with say the Vive? I don't own VR, but when I used it and watched the video the Pimax had a better sense of speed from the larger FOV than the Vive did and that the video basically showed me the same things I felt when using it.

 

 

I haven't tried the Pimax, but I had the same experience with the Vive.

 

It seems the 150 degrees is ideal, but the Index I guess is supposed to only be 130.

 

Appreciate your thoughts and experiences.

[Awesome video that shows what DCS looks like in a wide FOV VR HMD!]

I would think the Pimax gives a better impression of speed , as well as conferring other benefits . However , i have the same concern regarding it as i do the Lenovo Rift - build quality .

 

Yea, I would love the wide FOV, but seeing on Reddit the posts about the cracks on the HMD, seeing the black dots, seeing how poor Pimax CS is, and seeing how bad PiTools is...I think the Index is what I'll get.

This topic should be unstickied, closed, and buried.

 

Amen! Was so disappointed to find out it was from last year.

[PointCTRL - Finger Mounted VR Controller]

I'd love to see the sensor made to fit the Frunk of the Valve Index, because that is what I plan on getting next fall.

Great, but that isn't the one from Heatblur. That is the one we want a PDF for. I would like to download it to my PDF reader on my iPad.

[TrackIR or VR? why?]

If you've ever flown DCS in VR, you would not be asking this question. So, to answer your question, VR. When in VR, you are no longer in a room looking at a monitor. You are in DCS World.

 

This. Buddy was deployed and he let me use his VR setup and GPU. I went back to a monitor when he got back 3 months later and I couldn't fly. I won't be flying until I can get a VR headset.

[After the Tomcat?]

Their next module should be the B-58. No reason to think they'd pick it, I just find it sexy.

[KC-135 MPRS is coming!]

Ok, Thanks! So it's like the KC-130.

 

 

 

And what's the advantage over KC-130?

 

Well, you can't jump out of a KC-135 like you can a KC-130. AATW!

[NVG in VR and Sidearm]

Yeah its a very very old trick. But not applicable to aviators IIRC their regs demand both set at infinity so they have depth perception. I think the current way its implemented in the harrier is OK, be nice to have a look under nvg button, that gave you 1/3 of the screen to look under.

 

I don't doubt there is a reg on that. I wouldn't be shocked to find a regulation on how to poop. Heck, I've found regulations that contradict other regulations. That is fun, seems the leadership always picks to follow the one that does NOT benefit you.

[NVG in VR and Sidearm]

In the real world with the ANVIS you can focus one side for close and one side for infinity focus, but its prohibited for air ops IIRC, both need to be set for infinity so you can see wtf you are doing. If you need to look into the pit, you look "under" them (just tilt your head up and glance down). Not sure how that can be implemented in DCS. Simplest thing would be to just have everything in focus.

 

The infinite/near trick is what is used by us on ground operations. There are two tricks:

 

1. Focus one at infinity and one at 8 feet

2. Focus one at infinity and one at 2 feet.

 

The one at two will allow you to read things, but it's harder for actual CQ combat.

 

I actually don't the monocle for open field combat ops. I can see things sometimes with the non-NVG eye that the NVG doesn't illuminate.

 

That said, I prefer the thermal/NVG combined goggles, but they are hard to get my hands on.

How do you use the MFD when in VR?

Can you use the motion platform with other chairs?

[Vive pro and nvidia sli]

I'd wait the 2 months to get the 11 Series card, it's supposed to be released in the next few months.

 

Also, ED said that SLI is supported, but often doesn't give the best FPS.
