KungFu

Coming from a base station tracking which was smooth as butter, the Crystal seems to want to constantly adjust a bit when looking around in the cockpit and to some extent outside. I'm sitting in front of a 49" samsung G9 and my desk it pretty clean so I'm wondering if there aren't enough "targets" or if the monitor is throwing it off, especially since it's curved. Windows are all covered, firmware is the latest. I've seen these IR pads on amazon and wonder if they are worth trying or am I barking up the wrong tree.

Figured it out, seems my stick wasn't perfectly calibrated. I use instant on the Huey and central on the apache. So the trim function in DCS must look for a perfect center on the stick axis, if it is not then it subtracts the value from the trimmer position. (The red X moves after I hit the trimmer button, usually about half the distance from where I had it when I hit the trimmer) And on helos, as everyone knows a tiny bit makes a huge difference

So I get this on the apache and the huey, I have not tried it on anything else yet. So I hit the force trim when it's where I like it, release the stick and it does not trim to the exact position I hit force trim, it's usually a bit off. For example I trim forward, release the stick and the trim position is not as far forward as where I had the physical stick. This is extremely irritating and I can't think of what in the world can be causing it.j Any ideas?

Just got my Beyond yesterday and I'm not impressed with the fitment at all. There is pressure on the bridge of my nose and the left side where the usb plug is, there is a gap and I can see daylight out of the corner of my eye. As far as moisture, yeah it's noticeable even with the fan cranked it gets pretty warm. The bottom of the headband also rubs the top of my ears and it's noticeable, maybe I need to adjust the bands but they seem to fall from their original location over time Glare is an issue, in the f15e from almost sunset to dark in game there is a band of glare just below the center of the view. I played around with the brightness settings and it really didn't help too much. Tracking, well you have to get your lighthouses nearly perfect due to the size of these things. It lost tracking several times at first with the same locations when using my index. I do like that I can wear my higher end headset, I like the weight. Image clarity is really good. Do I think they are worth 1k just for the headset.....NO.

I don't think it can be moved unless something has changed, I've asked this before and got a "NO". The VR implementation of the George interface is not optimal. First it's displayed at the top center in VR and it's co-mingling with part of the canopy an just looks unprofessional. It would be nice to be able to turn it off visually and "communicate" with George without it visible. He is pretty good about telling you what he is doing. When presented with a target list (which will have to be visible), the opacity is such that certain backgrounds make it difficult to read, it also is out of the sweet spot of many headsets which makes it even more difficult to read easily It would be nice to be able to move the interface as well (like many other 3 party apps do), would also be nice to be able to set the opacity of the target list. Hope George gets some love soon, he's been single since early access release date I think.

Ah, well that explains the tacan issue...but yeah getting AP to work reliably is a pain. Kinda reminds me of the Harrier's system at launch being a bit touchy

Ok, so most of the time when I enable alt hold, it never holds alt (yes trimmed for level flight) Sometimes cycling AP helps God forbid I set an altitude, cause it rarely holds that alt. Set for 20k, heads down ... look up a few moments later and I'm at 30k. Don't get it, tried everything even trimmed out at 20k, set AP and then it does to the moon Alice. With regards to steerpoints, it works most of the time, but trying it with tacan boxed it gets pretty confused, sometimes trying to follow a previous steerpoint. Missing something other than cycle on/off a few times to get it to take?

I use an Index, my system specs in sig. I wound up fixing it by completely removing steam and steamvr and reinstalling. This makes no sense to me as nothing changed other than DCS. Could be a red herring but it's fine now.

[Running MT] So after this last update, I get severe tracking stuttering that comes and goes (all planes I own) The framerate is steady at whatever refresh rate I select (Index) I do have process lasso DCS and SteamVR on separate P cores ( I did this to try to fix the issue, it does occur without process lasso running) I can get say the apache and have smooth head movements, then all the sudden stutters wherever I look. It's not a headset issue as other games are just fine. Sometimes switching the refresh from like 90 to 80 and vice versa clears the issue and not long afterwards it comes back. I am not using DLSS, but am using DLAA and tried TAA with no change. This never happened until this update so I assume it's a DCS issue. Anyone get the same?

I had to put curves and saturation in for the Apache, even with a 10cm extension on the cyclic

Yeah, it lagged when I entered the mission, I have an Orion 2 throttle that must have had the gear switch down and I didn't notice the gear down due to the studders on mission entry. Didn't even notice the Master Caution either, it was off when I was able to take descent control Anyway, from what I'm hearing these seems to be normal behavior and is repeatable. This is fine, just wanted to know why I was seeing it.

I only fly multiplayer and I've got plenty of tracks for that, but since they are multiplayer I'd rather not upload for others privacy, so here is an instant action trk I think I may know what is happening, I usually use path to climb out and that's when it happens the most during climb out. I think it possibly be wind as you can see it ever so slowly yaw to the left, very slow at first but as I climb it slowly progresses. It did not roll as much to the left as this is a different loadout than I normally carry, I think that exacerbated the roll. All controls are centered and I touch nothing other than to get it on path. a10c.trk

I would tend to agree, but it happens on no other aircraft and I fly many in DCS (same MP mission/server) Doesn't happen in any other sim/game

So, it's been a minute since I've flown this thing. Several times during my last few flights the autopilot would suddenly cut off and the plane would roll left pretty quickly. No stall, no input from me just cruising. At first I though maybe the pitot tubes are icing over so I turn on the heat....still does it. I usually trim out level flight before engaging the alt or alt/heading mode. What could be causing this?

Yep, that's exactly what mine looks like, but I'm in no way going back to ST for this lol. I didn't notice because I just got the A-10C II after MT dropped @NineLine Can this be moved to bugs?

It also does in Cold and Dark startup

yep, it doesn't change the TGP image at all other than the overall brightness. It still looks like a solid green block with no contrast. I did switch to CCD and BH/WH but nothing is really discernable in the image Should note that I'm in VR but I don't think that is the issue

TGP image in HMCS is way too bright, even if I adjust the image in the TGP it doesn't seem to translate to the HMCS image. Is there some sorcery to do this? I've googled/youtubed/chucks guide...nothing.

GrayFlag just released their COIN mission, best server for anything DCS IMHO

How did something like this make it through QA? Seriously? The rest of the update is beautiful and I applaud...but man...really? It does seem to work on the Harrier as far as I can tell EDIT: Nope, it seems to be like 20% works, maybe red herring as when it does seem to work it's with close SAMS and the launch warning worked but was way to short

I used to have a Warthog stick, before it died with buttons failing, I polished the gimbal and applied nyogel, man what a difference....it felt really good. The best part about the gimbal in the warthog stick is that you feel no crossover like you do in regular gimbals. That is one think the warthog has over most sticks nowadays Now I run a VKB MCG Ultimate with heavy springs, strong center cam. With a curve of 15 and saturation of 90 is near perfect on the cyclic You would think that everything in the previous sentences make no sense for heli flying but it does work for me. All the fine movements made are within the center and it has almost no resistance there. It might be better with a progressive cam but I fly other things and I'd rather have a bit of resistance.

I just picked one up two days ago, returned it yesterday. Windows couldn't connect to it via USB and Pitool said that the DP was disconnected (Yes I disabled my IGP) Pimax reddit says that I would need a fiber optic cable or DP repeater. I have a 3090 so it's not just the TI version with issues. I messed around with this thing for hours trying to get it to work, but for the $1k price tag (I have index lighthouses/etc) I'd expect it to be more polished, reliable and provide the proper cables as an addon. It wouldn't even see the headset to do a firmware update. I looked at the Pimax reddit and boy it's a wonder they are still in business with these QA issues. Oh well, back to my reliable Index. Maybe the 12k will be better but based on the Pimax track record I bet the same issues will still be around.

Just picked up a few paid campaigns for the 18 and I thought I'd get at least one for the 16.....there are none except for the redflag one? What's the deal?

I found a work-around. If I start VA up AFTER I have powered up the aircraft then it works fine I think. I do have some question on whether or not NOTES are populated later in the mission doing it this way though, Notes doesn't seem to be populating. So maybe that tells Vaicom devs something...don't know but at least I don't feel like I've wasted money if functionality is not affected by starting it after DCS.....I know it says not to in the manual but it's all I got.

I've only been SP so far. Only thing I did was setup the joystick/buttons. I've already tried disabling MP based on other posts. No Joy.
