Amazing and so nice of you. I shared with a group of guys I fly with. I have the CV1 and love it. What did you upgrade to and how’s it working for you compared to CV1?

No head movement, I have full FPS. If I move my head, very low FPS. I just don’t use the F10 map anymore and I’m ok. Would love to know if there’s a simple workaround though to “reset” the VR after using the F10 map.

And I’ve tried toggling ASW back and forth to no help.

I think it is the second one. If my head stays still, FPS seems ok. It’s only the movement that is stuttering.

I’m having the same issue. F10 map screws it up. Did you find a reliable way to fix it? I found the best way is to take the Rift off my head, place it motionless on my desk so that it’s screens turn off, then I Alt+Tab between all my open windows one at a time, then return to DCS window, out the headset back on, and it’s butter smooth again. Problem is that it works only 75% of the time. I’m not able to pinpoint what the issue really is.

I will contact you. Thanks. For anyone else interested, you can just PM me directly with a similar intro as above and it will speed things up. Cheers to all.

We have no rules in BuDs, which apparently includes public shaming, lol. This is how we roll.

Good tips, but I have it bound to my HOTAS :)

Both of you are correct in every way. I can tell you’re both experienced in the multiplayer arena. Yes, we do have a lot of that “Where’s the master arm switch” happening, but no one seems to mind it. The guys in the group have all been really great with each other, noob to seasoned pro. I don’t know why it works, it just does. Perhaps it is because everyone knows the premise of the group before joining in. It’s a group, a community, not really a squad. Everyone is very like-minded and on the same page when they are together. I would guess the average age is closer to 40-45 in the group based on the intros people put out. Lots of guys are in squads, still fly with their squads, and drop by BuDs whenever they want something more casual. Every simmer needs a good balance of casual play and realistic play. We’ve had several times where BuDs, not affiliated with any other squad, wanted to set up something more formal for a night, so they broke off on their own for the night and had a blast. Here’s an analogy: It’s more like we all live in the same neighborhood, and BuDs is the bar in the middle of the neighborhood where we all meet up when we can and figure out what we want to do that night. If nothing else, we just hit the dart boards and pool tables within the bar with whoever is there with us and we have fun. It’s not like anyone here needs to “join” our group. We aren’t really trying to take anyone from their current group, that is not the intent of BuDs. There are no commitments or requirements. It’s just something to add to your multiplayer toolkit for another option when your current squad or group of friends aren’t around. Perhaps you just need a spot to ask questions and get quicker responses than here within the forums? BuDs is good for that too. Hope I cleared it up a little. Cheers guys! -GT-

You wouldn’t be the first to ask about parenting advice. Glad to have you whenever you are ready.

Hey Trubshaw, we’ve got a few from your side on the pond nowadays :)

We are spread out across time zones with a few guys in UK. See original post’s map link. Also, several guys in the US hop on in mornings which works for UK guys. Shoot me a PM if still interested.

Absolutely. Send me a PM

I made mine a duplicate of China hat forward. Since I’m slewing with that finger, I may as well toggle my FOV with it too for TGP and Mav usage.

Not at all. We still have chunks of the day where there is inactivity so you are more than welcome if you think the description fits your needs. Cheers.

What’s you are looking for sounds exactly like BuDs. Currently 40 of us with the same story as you. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=237481

You don’t have to do TMS aft long each time. Also, TMS long works from any of the systems, so you don’t even have to select the HUD. Once your markpoints are set, just set the selector dial to markpoints, make sure you see STPT on lower left of HUD (if not, then TMS aft long). Then drop your bomb on the markpoint, select next markpoint, drop, select next, drop, etc.

Yes, you are correct. China hat aft long slaves the TGP to the steerpoint. This is something I also do when dropping multiple bombs, so that when I toggle the steerpoint I get a quick visual reference on the TGP on where exactly the bomb is going.

That’s your problem right there. You made your TDC on the HUD your SPI. The lower-left-most indication on the HUD shows you what your SPI is. I bet it said TDC when you dropped. Try China Hat Aft (I think) to reset your SPI to steerpoint. You need to see STPT on lower left of HUD before you drop.

It is not dynamic. I don’t believe DCS has this capability. Depending on your mission outcome, you’ll get a different brief at the end of each mission, but it will not affect the next mission. This is AFAIK, but anyone can correct me if I’m wrong.

Yes, look for posts about editing the logbook.lua file. You can jump around.

Are you just looking for some casual multiplayer, a friend to fly around with every now and then? See if this is interesting to you... BuDs We've got 21 guys in the -5 and -6 timezones alone at the moment. The majority of them have the Tomcat and hop in together every now and then depending on who's online and what's going on that day.

I agree, new callsigns that match the book. I can ignore the AI callsign/voice. I understand it is a DCS limitation and not an error on behalf of the mission creator.

Done :)

Yes, we are on Discord. All the BuDs meet up on Discord and then one will start up a server, then whoever is online and wants to join will hop into one of our voice channels on Discord. We don’t have any arranged missions or times in BuDs. A lot of the guys also play in other servers, or if there’s a cool arranged mission going on somewhere else, we’ll let each other know and then hop over there. BuDs is more of just a meetup place for any last minute casual play. We usually have 2-3 on at once, but as many as 7-8 during more of the “peak” hours. Our group is a little unique as we are more of just a hang out place with random action, rather than a formal squad. Not sure how you’d like to affiliate unless one of you hops in and see how we operate. I wouldn’t mind you hopping in to let us know when you have some arranged mission with your buds going on, as I’m sure a few guys would be interested once in a while. I only ask that you don’t use our group solely for that purpose, and please do participate with us as well. We are a fun bunch and the random shenanigans are quite fun too. We have another group of friends in BuDs too and they all joined together. There are no commitments in our group. You are still free to break away and do your own thing with your friends any time you please. BuDs would simply be a place for you or your other friends to check out when your server is empty. With 36 of us now, there’s usually someone available to fly with at a moment’s notice. Sorry if that’s confusing. I try to make sense when I can, lol. PM me if you are interested. Cheers bud!
