Those are smoke bombs. You don't employ them in the mission though as Psycho does that part. Also, I had a cluster bomb on center station as well as one wing station opposite of the smoke bombs. You likely dropped the center one during your run.

It has nothing to do with the resolution. It is the fact that the reflections are a part of the texture of the cockpit and not actual reflections. It is as if a reverse copy of the cockpit interior is painted directly on the glass. This effect does not represent the real behavior of glass reflections, and as was mentioned earlier, is instantly recognizable by the human brain as "fake" when in VR.

Typically you can find the appropriate .miz file and copy it into the Saved Games/DCS/Missions folder and select it in the Missions menu in DCS.

Yeah, that's the thing. I tried exactly this and nothing happened. I'll try the other methods (a/g mode, rack selected instead) and test later when I'm able.

This isn't working for me. I try to jettison the center tank in the Raven One campaign, but with Master Arm on, Center selected, and Stores on the Jettison button, nothing happens. Only Emergency Jettison works. But wouldn't this be bad if I have missiles that I don't want to jettison?

Ooh a new desktop background for my PC, thanks!

Yeah, make sure to look for the appropriate term in your language. For example, the German word for "ball" is: Ball

There is some texture mod in the user files section that is pretty good, I think.

My understanding has been that settings in NCP don't affect the VR image?

Man, a big sweet spot sounds, well, sweet. But this is the headset that is almost $2k US, right? And with no built-in audio or controllers? (So added cost to current WMR users who need to buy base-station+controllers?)

How do I get Smoke to AAR in this mission? I tried the built-in comms for Wingman 2 and also for Flight to get them to Go to > Tanker. But he just stays in formation. I'm on 8 on Pri and 1 on Aux.

Can I ask where I find this part?

If your headset isn't plugged in, it shouldn't load into VR mode. But if it is, can you try hitting the Center View button?

If you are asking in order to decide whether or not to buy, then just buy it! You won't be missing anything - it's on sale now, and it's one of the best modules in DCS regardless of the EA status. Hit the buy button, purchase the Fear the Bones campaign, and lower your aviator sunglasses so that they mirror the sunrise in the Top Gun intro scene that you've just downloaded and applied to the DCS menu screen, and you will have no regrets. I promise.

That would be cool. I don't need more resolution, but I'd like better lenses, build quality, and fov. (I guess all I'm asking for is the holy grail of HMDs. Is that too much?)

I've actually considered buying a second one just to provide spare parts for mine

I'm getting into the Hornet just so that I can play this campaign (and the upcoming one). But looking at the tutorial videos, it seems there are 20,000 different weapons that the Hornet can deploy (approximately), and even a couple of different targeting pods. Is there a list of weapon types, (or at least which targeting pod) I should study before getting into this campaign, or would that be too spoilery? Also it's your fault since your campaigns get me to buy and learn modules that I wouldn't have otherwise been interested in

Very pertinent suggestion. I remember that in 1944 a squadron of flight instructors successfully thwarted the attempted invasion of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base outside of Tucson, Arizona by jettisoning their canopies into the rotors of dozens of Nazi helicopters. The team is known as being quite the resourceful bunch, seeing how the TF-51 lacked any kind of conventional armament.

Yes, agreed. Especially for us VR players who can't easily tab to another application to read the info. Among other things, this is one thing that I can count on in campaigns by Baltic Dragon and Reflected. Maybe others, but it's good to know the level of quality in a campaign that I'm buying, and the kneeboards are one indicator.

So, what you're saying is 100% certainty. Got it!

In the video, you say "this should come in the December OB update, but I can't 100% guarantee". That said, can you 100% guarantee that it will be in the December OB update?

Congrats on your maneuver kills

Is this for Mission 8? I'm watching this thread too because I'm almost there in this campaign.

Is it the mirror by chance? Try changing the cockpit display resolution function in the settings.

Mine isn't Oculus, but some settings that have a big impact on stuttering on my PC which is very similar to yours are shadows, AA, SSAO, and the resolution of cockpit displays. Try turning those down or off to see if they impact your experience.
