@VWJ: Great stuff!

Hi @VWJ, when you disconnect from the tanker before you're done refueling, you need to reset the refueling system by pressing the nose wheel steering button. Your aerial refuel status indicator to the right of the HUD below your compass will then state "Ready" when you are good to go again, and the boom will reconnect once you're in position behind the tanker. Try that and let us know how you get on.

Now we're talking, holy cow! Well done, that's just impressive all the way through.

Hi All, Whilst using VR is an absolute dream immersion wise, it's a nightmare when that JTAC is reading out coordinates and you need to start noting them down. Has anyone tried a solution with an electronic pad you can write on, to which a software can project the notes in a window in DCS, in principle it would be like writing notes on the kneepad? I have not found such a solution yet, but I came across RMarkable the other day (a pad whcih feels like writing on paper apparently) and it has LiveView functionality so that you can write on the "paper" on project the display on your PC. Might be a good way of doing it, but I bet it is not supported or whatever. Are there any other solutions like that available?

HP's Reverb VR Pro Headset Edit: Scratch that, I’ve read through this thread and found answers! Thank you all!

New VR Pointing Device Miles, thank you for everything you do and have done on this project, it is beyond anything the community expected I’m sure. I personally admire it all, I think it’s just phenomenal what you and Carol have achieved along with the community. On that note; reading through your recent posts about being exhausted etc., it sounds like you’re approaching the wall rather fast? Are you sure you shouldn’t take a couple of weeks or more off and relax for a bit? Don’t let this thing overwhelm you, the community can afford to wait longer for the benefit of your health. I mean, none of us are superheroes! Don’t let expectations of others push you over the edge, seriously.

Hi All, I don’t often update DCS as I like a stable version, so I leave it for a while. However, today I initiated the download about seven hours ago, and I’m telling you, this thing is completely broken! I mean, it never finishes!! Look at this: This is after previous windows where larger updates has taken place, so it seems to be downloading multiple files, yet it just never finish? What is going on?

What difference does it make whether it was communicated in the change log or not? It was communicated here with a thread specifically designated for the testing results of it which itself proves it has been rolled out, so you’ve had the headline you were waiting for. Surely that’s gotta be more clear than another post in an already long thread? And if people read the thread, it explicitly asks for users to test the OB vs the stable version and post their results which in itself confirms they’re expecting to see effects of a rollout which means it must have been rolled out. Further, it’s been more than one post in various threads stating (in one way or another) the change has been rolled out. I agree that if you’re expecting the normal comms procedure to announce this as well, then it was not properly communicated, but who cares! The important thing is it was communicated, not how it was communicated. It seems to have become a thing on this forum to instantaneously criticise ED for anything, rather than to just accept things are the way they are, stop whining about it and be patient and understanding. Even when they are communicating, it is a massive problem cause "they’re not saying it right"... If people need to be spoonfed, a forum is not the place to expect that. We need to seriously look ourselves in the mirror and stop complaining, and rather help where we can in the ways we can. Pull the rope in the same direction as ED, rather than pulling it from the opposite end and make it harder for them. There’s constructive behaviour, and there’s destructive behaviour. You preach about corporations all the god damn time, so you should know how those two behaviours impact a corporation; don’t contribute to the destructive force.

M1: PointCtrl is your friend. See the thread New VR Pointing Device under the Input and Output section, and you’ll have the solution to all your problems using the mouse.

I do not understand how it is not clear to members on the forum yet. It has been officially stated that ED has rolled out the optimisation in the OB, without the desired results for its users. I.e.: It has been rolled out. Whoever says otherwise is incorrect. Hence this thread and the VR Test Results thread.

Unfortunately very true. One day... That video certainly makes my own office seem very depressing. Even putting the disks into the flight computer looks appealing!

Now, that is why having two cursors in DCS, one for each FCU, would be great! That video demonstrates the need bang on. ;)

Sure, but I will not be home until Sunday, so it will have to wait until then unless someone else might be able to help. Until then, page 28 and 29 in the DCS World Manual will provide more information on curvature and deadzone.

Set up some curvature on the axes in the DCS Controls menu. That will also allow you to set a deadzone if you wish. Let me know if you have troubles doing this, and I can help you.

Do you mean BW specifically, or non-colour non-map AMPCD? For the latter you can click Mode (if I remember correctly) on the left side (OSB 18 I think) and it should change from a moving map to HSI on black background on our Hornet in DCS. For the former, don't think it's implemented. Although I believe someone mentioned something about changing the font colour through a .lua file, not sure if anyone else might recall this?
