  1. I see them in the module manager in the sim, but I don't have the steam version.
  2. Man, so many campaigns for planes that I don't have, right after a sale ends (If ED is reading, campaign availability has a direct correlation with my purchasing decisions though, so thanks for these)
  3. You have to update the updater updater first
  4. I just finished the built-in campaign (Ottoman Courier) last night. It's high quality, just like any other of Baltic Dragon's work. It's short, but he's making more that follow the same storyline I believe.
  5. What's the difference between setting reprojection there instead of in SteamVR?
  6. Hmm. Maybe I missed a waypoint or something
  7. Lol, for me MSFS is unusable in VR so I've been spending time in DCS. Do you have any overclocked components? DCS virtually never crashes for me.
  8. Okay, @Wisky was right. I had to tell my wingmen to land too. You can't just selfishly leave them hanging like in most other campaigns!
  9. @baltic_dragon First of all, I'm a big fan of your campaigns. First mission - I landed and followed the Humvee, then shut down my engine - but got a score of 50 and it did not register as a success when I exited. Any idea why? Do I have to wait for a message before quitting? Edit - do I need to wait for all of my wingmen to land too? I landed myself, then told them to RTB. But I didn't wait.
  10. Strange that it was 30 years ago. I remember watching footage of news reports from my classroom on Misawa AFB, Japan. My father was in the Air Force - in intelligence, not a pilot. His job was pretty secretive, and he often went on TDY to unknown (to us children) locations often. He was killed in an accident a few years ago, and on his grave stone in the veterans cemetery, it states Operation Desert Storm under his name. I never knew that he was involved until I saw that.
  11. The issue is that changes may break the myriad campaigns on the map, especially because ground items rely so much on precise placement of the buildings and trees and such. Texture modification shouldn't be as much an issue, but changing airfields layouts, buildings, forests or mesh would, I'd think.
  12. Yes, I also found it amusing that I could not even VTO with the wheel chocks in place
  13. Ooh, that would be great. Although part of me would be sad re-enacting the destruction of those ancient sites I didn't take good enough advantage of the free trial period to look around that map.
  14. You don't get a flickery or strobing effect at 60hz? I would love to set it there instead of 90/45, but the image is more stable at the native setting than at 60.
  15. I would love a Harrier campaign here. I wonder if any of the included areas were involved in the anti-ISIL operations. It would give me a reason to buy the map.
  16. Yes, if you need corrective lenses to see distance, you will either need to wear those lenses when using the headset, or do like I did and buy prescription adapters made for the G2, which to me is the more comfortable solution. And the G2 is very particular about headset position. Loosen all straps, start with one eye closed and move the set around so that the other eye sees clearly in the center. There should be a very sharp "sweet spot" that you want centered in front of both eyes, so start with one just to see what it should look like. Then try to keep that spot there as you adjust all the straps and the IPD to get that same clarity with both eyes. And make sure the back part is pretty low on your head, not just sitting on it. It helps to push the lenses close to your eyes and keep it steady.
  17. Can you share your changes?
  18. Doesn't just hitting the Undesignated/NWS button do it as well? I'm just learning the sensors, and the trainings don't seem to be referencing the same items now.
  19. Yep, I have DCS, cloud sim 2020 and the WW2 sim, and I'm in the cockpit flying in DCS much faster than the other two. It's pretty nice lately I've noticed.
  20. Is there AAR in this campaign? Just wondering if I should practice doing that
  21. When I select either the TPOD or FLIR (something that has a camera) in the MFD in the Harrier, looking around the cockpit suddenly gets stuttery and uncomfortable. It goes away immediately after I change it to a text-only display, or the map. It happens regardless of the in-cockpit monitor resolution, or whatever that option is called. Edit - actually lowering it to 512 Every Frame did seem to help - it just required a restart of DCS. I'm not sure which options require restarts and which don't
  22. So in VR at least MSAA doesn't seem to do anything for me in-game - when I select an Instant Action on the runway, the nearby objects (shadows, buildings, etc) have horrible shimmering jaggies. Changing MSAA doesn't get rid of them - is there anything in Nvidia Control Panel that can help this?
  23. I find the G2 to be incredibly comfortable. I've never felt an Oculus set, but compared to my old Samsung Odyssey, it is wonderful. And if your rig can't handle it at full resolution, just render at lower res in SteamVR. Easy. WMR-style controller tracking is going to be worse than Oculus, but it's still usable. I played through Alyx with no game-breaking issues, though it wasn't perfect. In flight sims it's just fine.
  24. Agreed. That worked for me. This is what I needed because it seems I need to run DCS at a slightly lower resolution than other apps (especially non-sims). Maybe not for the Caucasus map, but other maps and especially over urban areas. I notice stuttering over cities when looking down which improves as I lower the render resolution, mostly in the Channel map and Syria of course. I'm wondering if other options help with that specifically as I hate to lose fidelity.
  25. I see - I wonder if settings applied to that "temporary" instance will stick to DCS permanently. Due to not seeing it in the list, I was wondering if SteamVR settings were affecting DCS at all. So I tested with 28% resolution on the global settings just to be sure, and it certainly was. Performance was great, lol, but it was like having a Samsung Odyssey all over again.
