I just use a shifted function in the DCS UI Settings for controls. Pinky Shift + Trim Hat to move Cockpit Camera Move Up/Down/Forward/Back. Works for me and it is so automatic now I do not even notice. It is just something I do.

There is just something about these old birds and hearing those engines purr. It is mesmerizing. I was fortunate to get a pit pass at the Reno Air Races in 2002 and just hearing those engines start made it all worth it.

I use DSD Button Boxes and I fully execute start ups and every function in the cockpit by hitting real switches.

I am glad this post is helping some. I was sitting there flying and I was thinking of the folks that are having such a hard time with DCS 2.1 and VR. It is such a huge change to flying I wanted to share my results. I, like many others, cannot go back to the 2D world. I don't know if deleting the metashaders is a placebo but it seems to work for me as well. The Viggen is the most taxing AC and the A-10 if I have the Maverick and TGP screens up simultaneously. Cheers all and after enjoying some healthy outdoor things, for Gods sake, FLY FLY FLY!!!!

I have seen a lot of folks that are having low FPS with 2.1. I am not seeing that. I am posting some screenshots and my specs. I am running a single Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition. I am getting no less than 45 FPS at Nellis and Las Vegas. I also delete all the contents of this folder, (shaders) every other day or so: C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\metashaders. It may be a little hard to see the FPS counter because these screen shots are in VR. I have shadows off.

Can't seem to get spawned units to show up on the F10 Map while in a Normandy mission. Any ideas on this? Thanks!!

I cannot and will not go back to a 2D world for flying.

I hope there is a fix soon.

This Video right here: I had to backup a few times but if you follow every step you will good to go. Afterward, I had several Ah-Ha moments. It really starts to make sense. Follow the order of the videos. Set up the Moose Missions in LDT and do the example (video) of spawning in a mission. After that you will be on your way!

Will try today! I am watching the videos intently. It took me about 3 hours to get from knowing nothing to having my Eclipse up and running with MOOSE and creating a test mission that worked. I am very excited about this. I wouldn't say it is easy as pie but it doesn't take a lot of time to understand the very basics.

I just can't seem to get this to work. I have gone through the Eclipse setup and have the Moose Framework setup. I have the latest version. I am sure I am missing something obvious. I am attaching the mission files. Thanks in advance. The GCICAP Demo works so I know this function will to. Test_Mission.lua Test_Mission.miz

I have pretty good performance as well except right over Vegas. I keep that Deferred Shader thing off though. That kills it for me.

Is that the metashaders folder?

The only thing I have from VKBSim is the Mk IV Rudder Pedals. They are fantastic for me!

There is no way I could ever go back to a 2D screen. I have funds set aside just in case I break my Rift. It is a completely immersive experience. I have all the Saitek Panels and multiple DSD Boxes and after I a while I just know where everything is.

I ordered the Kinect for X-Box One, the PC adapter, and the mount. Should be here Monday. From the video it looks like it tracks very well. Altogether is was $90 and I figured it was for testing so $90 ain't too bad.

What is the receiver that is used? Will a TrackIR Camera work?

And yes, tried the UH-1H and the M2000C and was sweating bullets in a few minutes with the PiMax. I wanted to puke.

Totally agree. Glad I am just trying the PiMax and own my Rift. The track and performance is absolutely spot on with the Rift. I just don't understand the PiMax and how it could be a serious contender with that awful tracking. Well, I am pretty much done with it.

I got TRackIR working with but it was so jumpy it was unplayable. Again, the clarity of the display is better than the Rift. Sad.

Had a chance to test the PiMAX this morning. 1. Picture is a lot better than the Rift. 2. The tracking and performance is complete garbage. 3. Light and more comfortable than the Rift. Over all Rift is better for performance and tracking. Looking for any advice on how to get the PiMax thing to work with DCS.

Are you using CTLD or just the mission editor?

It would be great to have a simulated CAG Arm/De-Arm function. They arm the forward firing ordnance (FFO) just before launch. What if: You could go to the \ Menu and select Arm FFO? And then: Your FFO would not work unless you had CAG Arm/De-Arm pull the pins, move the arming handle on the Winders, and other stuff, simulated of course.
