    F4 cockpit too dark in VR

    in DCS: F-4E Phantom

    Posted

    Damn, I exclusively fly in VR and just did not know I can not use the grease pencil and have a too dark cockpit. (sarcasm off) 

    For me everything seems to be perfect with my no 1 plane in dcs, but I admit, the gui for the grease pencil could be better. I understand the limitations now, thank you zabuzard for explaining. 

    I use the Pimax crystal OG, in case it matters.

    Are you going to add a 1st person pilot body with animations?

    Sooooo, you can display the pilot body?  I need it for immersion.  Without the pilot showing, every time I look down into the cockpit I am reminded I am in a game, and not emersed in a simulation.

    Thanks

    Yeap, pilot body is there. Did not check much of his quality in VR yet, but already figured out it's constantly in the way 😂

    But I'm with you (changed my opinion from way back, where I was convinced that I would need no body), without it breaks the immersion.

    Ich verstehe das Rational nicht das Menschen dazu bewegen soll das Modul aktiv zu verhindern. 

     

    Davon völlig übernommen, ich freue mich auf die Bo und sie wird wieder ein Modul sein dass ich sofort kaufe, auch wenn mich die Situation um DCS in letzter Zeit eher zögern lässt.

    F-4E Phantom - Landing the RHINO

    Run the seat up (had to anyway, I’m a bit of a short ar5e!), and be on tone when coming through the last 2-300ft of alt before touchdown.

    A brief squirt of throttle to cushion the landing will usually placate jester, but in the real world it was flown onto the runway - the arrival would scrub a few knots off, aiding in reducing the rollout a bit. But jester doesn’t usually appreciate that.

    What was the rate of descent you were aiming for?

    Sounds like I don't need to relearn my "Navy habits". I understand right if I interpret it that: forget about Jesters comment, forget about flaring just "slam it down" aka fly it into the runway is the right way? 

     

    There is another question on my mind. Was the drag chute used every time? I can do well on long runways like Nellis, but still some medium breaking is involved. 

    Would rather the chute be used to keep the strain off the brakes or how would you have handled such situations?

    I found, unintentionally, a way to break AI ATC. Did the provided miz and started to "talk" to ATC, the cmd got executed but never answered. I found out I was using the wrong freq. 

    I was to issue the request again, but the menu item was gone. 

    Intended?

    Had no tone either Yesterday and my wingmen had no tone too. But bombs went well. We both were surprised that there is a problem with the tone right now...

    Most of the "tone problems" lately are cause by neglect. Seems nobody is doing checklists or at least a cockpit sweep any more.

    In order to have "any" weapon tone, one has to adjust "aural tone" to a higher level, since it is, after the last patch, all the way to low by default (as per checklist)

    Replayed for a better score and ran into a problem.

    in F-4E Red Flag 81-2 Campaign

    Posted · Edited by Lt_Jaeger

    I had the same in one of two cases. Saw the flashing wheels light after takeoff and watched it thrue the mission. Everything worked OK but there is a problem. Utility pressure was dropping and I believe I lost most of the (wheel) breaking power. Flaps and slats could not be raised after landing. 

     

    I just think there is a bug in the reworked Heatblur Hyd system.

    Not only this problem is new, but I had it on two occasions that the front gear would not raise fully. No matter what, it could not be retracted.

    Also they mentioned in their discord they take a look at the fluctuating pressure gauges and what's causing it.

    It's all new after the last update. 

    For the time being I deceide to ignore it, on the other hand it would be cool to really use the emergency drop areas mentioned in the inflight guide, and just declare an emergency.

    As DCS lacks in the EW department, the pods just don't work as they would have in real life. If I'm not mistaken we only got noise jamming which invites any typ of HOJ Msl. 

    So all those fancy modes of the SPS just don't work rather than the MIM-23B be too good.

    Pimax wide FOV lenses are here

    in Pimax

    Posted

    With you, especialy since they were part of the preorder deal.

    Hope to be in the next batch. If they run out again, I don't want a measly voucher but the money back I already payed for the lenses (which were part of the package). Voucher would be of no need, because it will be the last PIMAX product then.

    Nope, it will only compatible with the og Crystal.

    If they would just be available. If pimax screws this also up, it was definitely my last Hmd by them. Waited for them forever now. 

    F-14 A/B feature follow-up, wish list and beyond

    in DCS: F-14A & B

    Hmm, my 74 VW Beetle did not had power steering, A/C, electronics and all kind of shoot, my new car has all this. What now, ask Volkswagen to redesign the Beetle?

     

    All good and well to ask for stuff to be add to the F-14 and hoping for long standing bugs be fixed, but getting all cranky on the devs to not immediately jumping on adding all these wishes, I don't know. 

    I, for example, could not care less for the hot refueling thingy, since I either just do a short hop on an instant mission, or, more likely, do a full mission with my group and be happy to shut down the jet after a 3h mission. 

    Where would one a hot refuel except for CQ with changing crews in the middle of it (yes, I would be out and care less)? 

     

    So all this has to be put in perspective. 

    The most important item for me for example, is the still not completely dimmable AOA indexer (besides a lot of other lighting stuff - which by the way ED screws over most of the time) , which drives me furious. Not sure it's even somewhere in this list. 

    What do I need to do? Yell at the devs because it works in the F-4 

     

    Sometimes one can only shake his head.

    Ich bin scheinbar zu alt.

    Bis auf die "Berlin" Karte hat mich mal so gar nichts angemacht. 

    F-100, MIG-29 stehen schon länger auf dem Einkaufszettel, eine F-15A hätte es sofort geschafft, eine C würde nur neben dem ganzen anderen Diddle diddle  Kram in der Halle stehen. Selbst die F-14 B(U), das sagt einer der bis vor kurzem ausschließlich die Tomcat bespielt hat, hat mich nicht erreicht. Dann der Hammer.... F-35. Bin ich in einem WT, MSFS Video gelandet? 

     

    Enttäuscht, aber total
