Did you map the center of the switch by accident? Holding to change course/heading should work if it's mapped properly.
-
These are their names in the LUA, I didn't have an issue successfully mapping them to the switch 1:1. ALQ-126 ECM Mode Switch - CCW ALQ-126 ECM Mode Switch - CW ALQ-126 ECM Mode Switch - XMIT ALQ-126 ECM Mode Switch - REC ALQ-126 ECM Mode Switch - BIT ALQ-126 ECM Mode Switch - STBY ALQ-126 ECM Mode Switch - OFF Make sure you're not just grabbing the joystick/keybard default.lua files, but also the clickabledata and command_defs in the zip file. The ECM switch specifically won't work without them and may not even show up as a valid input.

Did today's Windows 10 update (ver.2004) mess up WMR?
FoxTwo replied to sirrah's topic in Virtual Reality
20GB 3080ti will be just as fast as the 3090 and $500 cheaper, give or take. So you may want to keep that in mind instead. Rumor is a January release to combat the 6900XT. -
Maybe contact monstertech I've heard they're pretty accommodating. Not sure if they can help but you never know.

Are we going to be able to take the tank pylons off the A model?
FoxTwo replied to FoxTwo's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
Why, though? It's not like they didn't fly without bags/pylons. If they're removable from the model for any version, they really need to be for all? -
Well yes, but covid. Connection was the single US VAR available from HP so 10,000 units out of 330m people seems like a lot but the hype has been building for this since the end of May. ~1800 orders a month, or 60 a day. Good amount for sure but nothing crazy.

I drilled a couple holes in the arms that come with the kit and bought some 40 series M6 "Roll-in Spring Ball Loaded Elastic Nuts" from Amazon. I eyeballed the hole locations and used the half circle spacers. I'm not advocating anyone do this I'm just saying this is what worked for me. You need to have the throttle mounted with the long profile mounting plate (12cm) or it won't fit, the 7cm is too short and the throttle handles will hit the panel at full AB.
-
Had to do some creative engineering but I got them mounted up to my monstertech mount.
-
I made a typo in it anyway so you'll want to redownload the zip file if you already grabbed it. Nothing catastrophic it just wouldn't move the switch down properly for the hook bypass or the extend/retract. Just extract it to your DCS game folder, or extract it where you downloaded it and move the \Mods folder to your DCS game folder. For me that's: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\ In this case it should overwrite a few files. You'll need to give it admin access to overwrite anything in the program files folder. And yes, unfortunately these are lost during patches but they get stored in the backup folder so you can just copy them back over. I usually try to do a compare on the files to see if anything significant changes but no warranties expressed or implied etc etc.

It's better, the new strap design and face cushion is quite a bit more comfortable. Just a heads up/warning for anyone with the G2, check your steam VR scaling. On mine, at 100% steam VR wants to run at over ~3000x3000, and I had 129% applied for DCS so it was running at an absolutely stupid resolution and performance was terrible. Double check yours.
-
Well, I've only used mine for about 15 minutes. The sweet spot is a little bigger, the lenses are a LOT better, the adjustable IPD is nice but to me the biggest improvement has to be the color accuracy and the contrast. It's definitely a generational improvement, the difference between the G1 isn't like going from an Odyssey+ to the G1 was, but it's a worthwhile upgrade and fixes most of the issues I had with the G1.
-
I have no doubt that you did. The default available mapping is a toggle (off/on), and not a two position switch necessary for a 1:1 map. It's the same with the fuel dump switch, which I also corrected. DEFAULT { down = gear_commands.LaunchBarSw, up = gear_commands.LaunchBarSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.GEAR_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Launch Bar Control Switch - EXTEND/RETRACT'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, { down = cptlights_commands.HookBypass, up = cptlights_commands.HookBypass, cockpit_device_id = devices.CPT_LIGTHS, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('HOOK BYPASS Switch - FIELD/CARRIER'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, { down = fuel_commands.DumpSw, up = fuel_commands.DumpSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.FUEL_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Fuel Dump Switch - ON/OFF'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('Fuel Control Panel')}}, My change adds these bindings: { down = gear_commands.LaunchBarSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.GEAR_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Launch Bar Control Switch - EXTEND'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, { down = gear_commands.LaunchBarSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.GEAR_INTERFACE, value_down = 0.0, name = _('Launch Bar Control Switch - RETRACT'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, { down = cptlights_commands.HookBypass, cockpit_device_id = devices.CPT_LIGTHS, value_down = 1.0, name = _('HOOK BYPASS Switch - FIELD'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, { down = cptlights_commands.HookBypass, cockpit_device_id = devices.CPT_LIGTHS, value_down = 0.0, name = _('HOOK BYPASS Switch - CARRIER'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, { down = fuel_commands.DumpSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.FUEL_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Fuel Dump Switch - ON'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('Fuel Control Panel')}}, { down = fuel_commands.DumpSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.FUEL_INTERFACE, value_down = -1.0, name = _('Fuel Dump Switch - OFF'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('Fuel Control Panel')}}, You can do whatever you like, this just makes it work like the real switch would.

Just install simapppro and let it update as necessary.

ECM 5 position switch, hook bypass, and launch bar. ECM switch mapping is missing completely (due to not yet being implemented, but the code is there and it's possible to make it work which is in the zip file), and the hook bypass and launch bar only have up/down toggles, not 1:1 position maps. It's entirely optional but if you want the switches to mostly do what they're labeled for, you need to edit some LUA.
-
Got mine, they're working well. If you want to be able to map all the functions 1:1 you're going to have to edit some LUA. Drop these into your DCS program files folder (for example \Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta) if you want an easy fix. Doesn't break IC it's just button mappings. Mods.zip

I don't think you should feel too bad, I doubt very much that DCS is capable of actually exercising a 3090 properly. A 3080 or 6800XT will get you 95%+ of the way there and anyone stating any different is selling something - possibly just to themselves.
-
Just cool your jets turbo, they're shipping as fast as they can.
-
Just an FYI update for folks, check your damper every now and again. They're cheap and Chinese, mine vomited its hydraulic fluid all over the base of my TPR. Not a big deal and they're cheapish at $30 just something to keep in mind they may not last forever.
-
Mmhm and you seem to have one yourself. The price seemed crazy low to me, I was expecting 200-250 a panel given the competition (virpil, tekcreations). Even if they go up $50 a panel, you're still getting a hell of a deal for what they're selling. So buy now and get a deal, or buy later and pay a little more, your choice.

Screen space reflections are forced on for a few materials (water) and it seems like canopy glass is one of those materials. This is causing some really goofy graphical glitches with the cockpit glass unnaturally reflecting things that it shouldn't be able to. For example, these islands in the PG are just huge yellow blobs all over the inside of my canopy glass. Please note: I do not have screen space reflections enabled here. https://imgur.com/a/Iq1PPGh

Particularly for cockpit materials, in VR. While this effect may look OK in flatscreen (does it? I don't know tbh), in VR it's a total mess. In this example the islands below are projecting and floating all round my cockpit glass. The water screen space reflections don't look great either but they don't make my eyes bleed like this is doing. https://imgur.com/a/Iq1PPGh

F-15 throttle behind it.

Uh-huh. I'll believe it when I have a tracking number and it's left the distributor. Too many of these false alerts lately.
