Could be the servers. Also, I did a "file integrity" check and it said it was "acquiring" 111 files. Either way it works now. All is back to normal.

Tried to open DCS for the first time in a couple weeks and ran into this: "Failed to get authorization data. Error code is: 504 - No saved authorization found." So it loaded the game without any of my paid content. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thx.

問題の機体であることは間違い

Yeah I had read the stories about the flight model and was worried. But I made my first flight earlier today and I thought it flew pretty well. Granted, I did take the advice of some who said to set the axis curves ~20' or so. The plane felt heavy enough and authentic enough for me. And maybe because I had read that thread I was more prepared to adjust my control surfaces whenever I made a change in the power setting.

I think if your brakes aren't working at all, try un-binding "parking brakes" and see if that helps. My very limited understanding is that what the developers are calling "parking brakes" is in fact simply a stand-in for using both the left & right brakes at the same time: i.e. standing on both brakes. The actual Corsair had no "parking brakes" as we post-modern pretend aviators normally understand that term. So if you bind the "parking brakes" and then you release them, there's a conflict between a command that has released both brakes and your input to apply one of them. Anyway, I made that change and suddenly I had differential braking. I could be wrong. In fact I rarely know what I'm talking about and I welcome correction.

Oh, that's definitely true.

7-zip file manager Is that wrong?

Just to follow up, I did complete the downloads of the core files, and as far as I can tell #s 1, 4 & 5 are fine. But #s 2 and 3 show a data error when I try to unzip to OvGME. I re-downloaded the files again (twice) and they continue to show a data error. Thanks for all your hard work. Sorry to be such a problem child, but I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks, that does seem to have helped. 1 down, 10 to go.

Thanks for the quick response. You mean the temp folder under 'This PC'?

My download attempt fails about 20 minutes in, every time. Which makes me sad.

I have a question about the "Shaking Reduction" setting on the Input tab. For whatever reason, it won't allow me to change it. On the OpenXR Quickstart page, it refers to "Shaking reduction, formerly Prediction dampening (only when supported by the system) . . ." What about my system wouldn't support the feature? What do I need to add? My sytem: i512400 // RTX 3070ti // 32G DDR4 // Reverb G2

Alright, everything seems to be coming together. It opened exactly as you described. Thanks so much for your help. Much appreciated.

Again, thanks for your help. I do have a question: When I double click the desktop DCS icon, it does the shatter routine as expected, but it doesn't "drop back into home after a second". It shatters, then it opens DCS but at the same time it also opens SteamVR and puts the SteamVR overlay on my desktop. This is in addition to the WMR window which is also DCS & has refused to "go Home". I get the idea that the whole point of OpenComposite, et al, is to bypass SteamVR, so my guess would be that it wouldn't/shouldn't be opening at all. (Note: I have unchecked the SteamVR auto-launch box when WMR opens. It's not opening with WMR but rather when I open DCS). So I'm getting DCS to open consistently. That's an improvement. The bad news is that performance seems far less than what I would expect & I'm not confident that I've really bypassed SteamVR. I get the feeling that Steam & WMR are still fighting it out for control. Should SteamVR still be opening if I've done everything correctly?

Thanks for the post. Things do seem to be going better.

Alright maybe this is the right thread for this: I recently bought a new Reverb G2, a definite upgrade over my old Rift S. The handful of times I've successfully been able to launch DCS (Steam version), it's been really cool. The bad news... Holy God in Heaven what an absolute disaster of a situation on the front end, trying to launch the software. You can try it the same way 10 times and get 8 different results, and 7 of those are unplayable. The old theme music from The Benny Hill Show starts running through my head every time my WMR Home starts competing with my SteamVR Home. I don't want a virtual Home. I want to play DCS. Please no more damn Homes. I gather from the 95 pages that there's definitely maybe a solution involving baling wire, binder twine, & duck tape. I'm sure it's somewhere back on page 32 or 47 or 52 or so, but if anyone can help save me from this interminable Benny Hill skit with a set of short instructions, or else point me to a page in this thread where those instructions can be found, I would greatly appreciate it. What is the correct sequence for launching DCS Steam on a Reverb G2? Edit: Ok I'm just reading the opening post, which is "constantly updated" with all the info that the thread revealed. So hopefully I can find my answers there.

Ha! I had been checking it since yesterday & it just now opened up for new orders. Got it done at $399. I appreciate all the advice, everyone. Thanks mucho

But out of stock, sadly.

No, I purchased through Steam. & do you think my system specs (above) can drive it?

My not-so-trusty Rift S just died. Basically, I'm running an i5-12400, a 3070ti, and 32G of DDR4 ram. What's the best bang for my buck in VR headsets that my system can drive? Thanks

I wholeheartedly second this motion.

Yeah I was actually pleasantly surprised with the degree of realism. I actually expected it to be more Hollywooded up than it was.

Thanks @edmuss but unfortunately no response. It still doesn't recognize the ctrl-arrow input. Is there some difference between activating the OpenXR runtime and the Oculus runtime? It doesn't seem to matter in MSFS, but maybe in DCS?

Pretty sure I'm in over my head on all this. But I've managed to get the OXR Toolkit working in MSFS and I'm fiddling with that & it's helping. But I can't get it to open in-game for DCS. I hit ctrl-F2 and nothing happens. I have an Oculus Rift-S, if that makes any difference. Running DCS Steam version. Why would it open in MSFS and not in DCS? Thx for any help.

Ok thanks for the quick response. I will give it a shot.
