That's a No Go. As Bobik2002 stated it is simp0ly a reprojection of one eye to your monitor.

HUGE. As others have said as much as getting a true HOTAS/rudder pedals. It took me at least 2 weeks before I thought it was worth keeping. Never looked back after that. At least until I got my first VR headset. To me, that was another step forward.

As an owner of a G2, EVGA 3080 FTW3, and a 8600K, I would tend to agree with this. However, everything is subjective. I'm OK with 45 fps, medium settings and ghosting. Not sure if the ghosting has a lot to do with VRAM or not, but that is the most difficult part for me. VR is not for the faint of heart IMHPO. It does require a lot of tweaking and some sacrifices. Would I spend ~$2000 USD to increase my VRAM to try and reduce this. No, not worth it in my opinion. I started VR with an Oculus Rift CV1, GTX 1080, i72600K and have been VRing since.

Thanks

OK, mea culpa. I had things COMPLETLY WRONG in my head. I assumed (yes, not a good thing) that you would turn the throttle towards you in the UH-1H to increase throttle. Well, as most of you know, if not ALL, that is 100% wrong. I went into the Huey, pressed "PG UP" and "PG DOWN" keys and observed the direction that the throttle moved. You got it. IN the Huey, the throttle increases when you turn it away from you. In the Mi-24P/Mi-8 it increases when you turn it towards you. Sorry for posting something so wrong (and dumb).

I agree with @sirrah that it issad that it is needed on €289.95 ($340) product (Cost of base alone. BUT you need a grip to fly it so, €600, is fair. Need can be judgmental, but from my 20+ hours of use, I think it could certainly "improve" the collective feel. I have been wondering if I could modify my MFG Crosswind Damper to fit the TCS Base Plus. Any details on the shock and both upper and lower mount would be GREATLY appreciated. EDIT to follow this thread

Yeah, I do that as well but would love a cleaner solution

Interesting. Will need to look at in more detail. @Gun Jam Thanks!!

I was looking to see if I had missed something for us VR-heads. Guess not. I'll be insterested to see if you can get VS(? voice Attack) to do this.

OK, now I'm confussed more that normal. Will have to go and play with it in DCS. I'm assuming that "Anti-Clockwise" is turning it away from you when seated. Thanks for the response.

As Eugel said, you need the drivers but not necessarily TARGET. TARGET is optional, and depending on what games you play and how you use it, learning TARGET may or my not be worth the effort. I use it and have found it is worthwhile to me. I also play ELite Dangerous and have a profile for that as well as profiles for IL-1 Battel of xxx series. The drivers probably are Windows drivers and should be fine. As to the firmware, they should already have the latest version. TARGET can tell you what version. As for the "unsmoothness" that would be mechanical, software would not impact that. You should be able to verify that by moving the throttle when the computer is shut down. Can you describe the "unsmoothness" a little more? Does it "stick" or make any type of noise?

I have a question associated with the application of the decals/labels to the TCS Plus as shown in the manual. The manual has you rotating the throttle all the way to the right. This is MAX throttle as I understand it. The first label applied is the Increase label with an arrow pointing to the left. This seems backwards to me The only response I got on the Virpil forums implied that it is/was based on the Huey throttle. That makes sense to a degree. All the images I could find of the Huey shows the label with increase pointing in the same direction as the Virpil supplied labels. However, those also show/indicate it is for the throttle FRICTION, and not operation of the throttle itself. The throttle friction on the RL Huey is at the top and not the bottom like the TCS Plus. What am I missing.

Ahh so true, so true.

I see to be getting the same results. I have only tried removing SteamVR home at this point. I do see a drop in GPU RAM allocation of about 1.7 GM but in DCS (Blue FLag Caucus 80's) fpsVR reported 9.7 GB allocation in both cases. frame times and cpu times seemed similar. I also didn't notice a reduction in shimmer/ghosting. I also notice that with SteamVR Home loaded, fpsVR reported a drop in GPU RAM allocation when loading DCS. This implies that SteamVR Home doesn't stay in memory when a game is loaded. Bottom line- What am I missing/doing wrong?

I'm one of the lucky ones, and never really had a issue with motion sickness in VR. I have a G2 and am very pleased with it. One thing that others have mention that really can impact VR sickness is the refresh rate./fps. If your rig can't push enough FPS then you will have to lower settings or risk getting sick. the 3080 Ti is plenty for the G2. I don't have a clue as to the Pimax 8K. Good luck.

Log file attached as requested. dcs.log

I'm getting the same error, and don't see this campaign listed on the e-shop. I need to do more research. Hummm, This is the second item I have purchased for DCS that in the end got flushed in some manner. To be fair, neither is ED fault or issue. And in the second case, I still have the product, it's just that a lot have it for free.

This is my understanding as well. Also with AMD's FSR that is non-GPU brand specific that would seem more likely.

LOL Sorry testing for me caused you some lost time. I'm just starting down the road of scripting for DCS, learning Lua and C++, so I think that I will have many more such "moments"

As an early adopter (I think mine was in the mid-20s) I can not agree more. Haven't stopped using since the week I got it. Thanks again MilesD.

Thanks for the advice. I think I have learned to double check the names in DCS ME to make sure there are not trailing spaces.

I think I know what this means, but i am not Lua advanced enough (yet!) to be sure, or to even start to implement. Would that work with the name of the Group in DCS with a trailing space? PS - Thanks for the response)

The other day I spent at least an hour and a half chasing a bug. I'm sure I am not alone, nor will this be the last bug to chase. IIRC, Lua sees spaces at the end of a line as white noise. In the mission I am building, I am using the following line to get information associated with a certain helicopter local Helo_Name = Group.getByName(Hot LZ Mi-24P-1) The error message pointed to the "getByName ()" call. Every time I tried the helo named "Hot LZ Mi-24P-1" the script would crash. Tthe script worked fine for "Hot LZ Mi-24P-2", "Hot LZ Mi-8MTV2-1", "Hot LZ UH-1H-1" and so forth. I tried every thing I could think of. I copied one of the working scripts over and just changed the name of the helo of interest. I checked and made sure that I have all the correct capitalization. "Hot" is not "HOT" or "hot", ands so on for the full name. The script still crashed at the same point. As it turned out, the actual name of the helo in DCS was not "Hot LZ Mi-24P-1" but was "Hot LZ Mi-24P-1 ". That "space" at the end of the name in DCS is a killer and was not so easily found. Lesson learned - Names are strings, including any trailing spaces!

I'm up to about 12-14 hours use and so far (knocking on wood) have not had to readjust the friction settings. I recently changed to the 40% cam so will see if that cahnges anything. I wouldn't thing so but ,... ... ...

I used to just use the mouse on the right side of my desk, just in front of my joystick. However about a year ago, I got the PointCTRL "finger pointer". Best thing imho since sliced bread. I still use the mouse for 2d menu screens.
