    Awesome! I don't know if I'm a competent enough pilot to be a beta tester, but looking forward to this!

    As a busy dad, I'd be interested, looking for some people to fly with. :D

    VR IMPROVEMENTS

    A2597 replied to javipamp's topic in DCS 2.9

    Awesome, thanks for the update Wags!

    Jet seat is on my list...just have to wait for October... Have a feeling my dad will be getting both once he tries my rig with them. :D

    So looking forward to playing with this in the near future. :)

    I flew it briefly in Falcon 4.0, but at that point I was hooked on the F-22 ADF. Before that, it was Strike Commander... Haven't flown it since...so it's been well over 10 years. Looking forward to seeing it again!

    Woot woot! Pretty much exactly what we're all hoping to hear!

    Woot! Glad to see the progress of testing!

    Yea, looking forward to hearing how the initial rollout goes! Hoping smooth as can be so we can all get our units!

    I'm looking forward to hear from some folks that upgrade from the Rift to the Rift S, just for comparisons sake. :D

    Awesome news! The anticipation is building!
  12. A2597
    Welp. Answers that one. Now to practice. haha

    Every time I take off or land...I think about how much I'm looking forward to these. Can't wait to try them out Miles!

    While true, part of the joy of this game for me personally is believing I'm actually flying an F-18. I fly solely in VR (I've never played DCS without the headset on) and do the full startup, pre-flight, taxi back to the ramp after landing, full shutdown. etc. Part of that is trying to do things "properly", even if I don't technically need to. (I don't need to check my brake and battery levels before doing my fire tests, but I do...) It usually means my play sessions are limited to a single mission/flight, but it's a lot of fun for me to play this way. A second part of it is I very well may get my private pilots license in the future, including IFR rating. While a civilian prop plane is wildly different than a military fighter, there is certainly still cross over and a big part of that is the discipline to not cut corners. Figure start those practices now. :)

    So, this look like a good example of what to aim for?

    So landing on Georgia at War yesterday there was a decent crosswind over the runway. This got me thinking...what is the "correct" way to land with a crosswind? Do you line up straight with the runway then steer into the wind (effectively flying directly along the course line, with your plane slightly sideways), or do you fly the course line heading, offset from the runway and set your velocity vector on the runway, effectively letting the wind push you over the runway by the time you land? (I chose the latter, felt a little weird since I was lined up to the right of the airport, then over the ramps, then finally the runway shortly before touchdown)

    Awesome!!!

    The consumer in me says "Awesome". The more business minded person in me says "Bad idea, creating far more work for yourself, at the least the buyers will need to pay for shipping and a small fee for any upgrades that are not the result of a defect". I know what I'm signing up for, so long as it works as advertised, I'll be happy and don't expect much future support unless something breaks. :D

    Shoot, I never would have even thought of that. My brain just isn't wired that way...Been waiting months, I can wait a couple weeks more for the final product.

    I'm ok with manually turning fcu on as well.
  21. A2597
    Same boat, might not see it live, but certainly watch the replay!

    I'm actually planning something nearly identical to this, using the zero delay. (I used one to build a virtual pinball cabinet last year. Very easy to use) There's a second board that's just like the zero delay, but has two axis inputs for a proper joystick, which I was thinking of using for two rotory knobs. Waiting to get my throttle before I start building though.
  24. A2597
    Awesome news! Looking forward to them!

    Mapped a modifier to my Hotas last night for mouse clicks. Better than grabbing the mouse every time, but still not really immersive. Can't wait for these to ship! (But take your time, "do it once, do it right" my Dad always said...)
