For anyone in Australia, The HP Australia website is now finally discussing the Reverb although it's currently out of stock on the website. Hopefully will not be too long. It's listed as $999 presumably for the consumer version as the term Pro is not used. Interestingly, they state the following: "1 Year Limited Warranty (Next Day On-Site, with Hardware Support & Phone-in Assistance)" Well above any 90 day statutory warranty.

Not to doubt you but do you have the reference for this? I was wondering when ED might have suggested this, would be great if they can help Captoglove iron out the problems. Cheers.

As a real world airline pilot, 13 years flying jets, I’m back in to simming in DCS/VR because I was always a frustrated hornet pilot and now I get the chance to at least get a glimpse at what it might have been like if only I’d got through that testing. I lost interest in simming after I got into the real flying because there were so many compromises in flight modelling, systems, environment and user interfacing but VR with DCS is definitely a new thing altogether. With around 15,000 hours of RL flying, my wife can’t believe that I come home and want to fly my computer!

Looking for some help please here as I haven't got any response from Vaicom directly. I am struggling to understand what to do when I train the 485 odd words. I am seeing that the words are recognized but when I click on the microphone to finish the Voiceattack message in the top left side of my screen comes up and I don’t know where to go with this. It should be said, I am not very familiar with Voice attack either as I have never used it before buying Vaicom Pro. Additionally, I am seeing the words that I speak as “recognized” but there is no level of confidence indicated when the word is displayed in the VA box, is that normal? And finally, when I go to start VA, it tells me that speech recognition should be switched off, is that correct? Thanks in advance.

I heard from a little bird that they will not be released here in Australia until October, but hey that's the first that I've ever heard that they might so it's a start.

Thanks Wags, very kind of you.

Thanks for the tips guys. I was hoping to stay of Multi Player for a while, until I’ve got a handle on the plane. I was really referring to the sort of environment that “The Reapers” were in when doing their SA tutorial video. Lots of targets and no threats. I guess I could do it in The Mission Builder myself but I’m not very familiar with it. I was hoping there might be something ready made perhaps.

Can anyone tell me if there is an SA page practice mission where I can fly around inert enemy aircraft amongst friendlies and practice use of the SA page features. I’m guessing a useful understanding of this page is critical to future missions.

I kind of like the way it’s been rolling out bit by bit, not sure if I’d be overwhelmed otherwise. There’s a lot to this puppy and whatever is supposed to be classified and not available seems to be minimal.

Thanks, you’re a gentleman. :thumbup:

Can someone tell me how much the Reverb Pro package weighs please? I'd love to buy one from Australia but there seems to be a large successful conspiracy by HP to avoid not only selling me one but also to inform me as to if that might ever be a possibility. I'm going to see if I can get one from the States or perhaps Hong Kong, not sure if they're even selling them there yet.

Thanks for helping bring it back to the top guys, still seems like there’s a way to go till someone like me can use it but maybe it’s not out of the question one day.

Bumping back to the top, pretty keen to see if anyone can get something going with Leap Motion. All other options seem to be massive compromises for VR.

I always like to be capable of at least knowing how I would dead stick anything that I strap myself into, and with 15,000 hours IRL it has served me well. If I don’t know how then I shouldn’t be flying the plane, albeit this is dcS and not RL, just saying!

I have heard that this HMD would also be able to connect directly to a mobile phone, doesn’t that make it a different product altogether to what is needed for DCS. I’ve been keen to see where their resolution would land and the FOV also but I’m not sure if this is marketed at DCS style gaming, thoughts?

It's awesome hey, I couldn't fly the Huey to save myself either until I did in VR, I've got the CV-1 also and am pretty excited about upgrading soon enough. Good times! Choppers are awesome!

Hi Madcat, it’s a few years old now but thanks for the clear and concise explanation. Sometimes we need to know why before understanding. Cheers.

I got a 15 cm extension, works a treat but requires unusual placement of the stick. Now AAR difficulties are solely the responsibility of the clown behind the stick, I’m getting there :-)

That’s awesome, I can do the same! Thanks very much and enjoy.

Hi John, can I ask are any of your devices overclocked and perhaps get an indication of the FPS you’re getting please? Thanks for the great review, you sure you don’t work for HO right? ;-)

Thanks for keeping us in the loop, it is what it is. Cheers.

It all looks very promising, having said that it may pay to have a look at DCS Reverb review in something like the Hornet before we all get too excited. There’s a lot of pixels to push at Mach 2.0 low level over Dubai!

Ok, I thought it might be. It was my feeble attempt at optimism.

Hi Sohei, Not doubting you, just wondering what your source is on the two weeks time frame? Cheers.

In addition to the issues around delays. There’s the little issue of DCS VR improvements probably being required to run 4.6 gazillion pixels at whatever frame rate can be achieved. Seems an unlikely prospect without it.
