  1. Very vanilla. I have spent a long time trying to sort out issues with SteamVR and have now (touch wood) got it running a lot better but I am curious wrt the narrow field of good vision it presents.
  2. I am flying 2.9 in VR with a Vive Pro 2. Does anyone know how to increase the height of the view in the HMD of the area that is in clear focus? For example, if I am on approach to the carrier and the ship is looking sharp if I move my head slightly up or down the clarity decreases quite a bit. It's like looking through a slot to get the nice view. Is there some sort of setting I should adjust to make that "slot" bigger? Cheers PC
  3. Thanks. Just out of interest what HMD did you go for and what was the main difference between your new one and the Vive?
  4. Hi, And thanks for taking a look. I dont think I can see a way to change the 90Hz setting. Here are some shots of my settings. Yes the PD was set at 1.0 so that should be fine. Cheers Peter
  5. Hi, I would like to think I have a pretty good system. DCS World 2.9 installed on a built in SSD. Running the bin-mt DSC.exe. i7-14700KF 3.40 Ghz 64 GB RAM 4080S GPU HTC Vive Pro 2 Yet when I run DCS my SteamVR Status shows as per the attached jpg or worse with it being purple right across. The game slows down and even goes blank. Just what you dont want when in the groove to land on the Supercarrier. I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed. Most of my DCS settings are middle of the road. Can anyone help me please? Its doing my head in.
  6. Thank you. Forgot to ensure I was listed as Red. Changed to Russia from Poland and all good now.
  7. I am making a simple mission for the MiG-21Bis out of Krmysk. I have select 9 on the radio channel selector. When I go to request Tower permission to start engine I am stymied. After F5 for...ATC I get a list of airfields F1 thru F10 but none of them are for Krymsk. Is there a way to edit the list or is there a simpler solution? Cheers Peter
  8. Thanks Daemoc, I shall give them some skills like Veteran or similar. Cheers PC
  9. I am probably making a very simple mistake so have included some pictures that someone can see my error. I am using the new Normandy 2.0 scenery and am trying to have a flight with myself leading to intercept some German bombers enroute to my home airfield. My mission map shows there should be 4 x Spitfires on the runway at Carpiquet. However when I look from my cockpit there is just me. If I call on the common frequency 118.3 I get no acknowledgement. If I take off there are no other members of my flight around so its a Nigel No Friends experience. Is it to do with setting the SKILL? I have tried all x CLIENT and me PLAYER and 3 x client. No difference that I can see. Any ideas appreciated. Cheers PC
  10. Hi Hoss, No not really. I am mainly into single player flight sim stuff like P3D and MSFS. I have a lot of DCS scenery and aircraft so I do like to have a play every now and again. Never been much for anything multiplayer. Cheers PC
  11. Thanks. I downloaded the checklist file and extracted it to the saved games folder. This made a new Kneeboard Folder with the two checklists in it. Cheers PC
  12. Can anyone help me as regards the actual location of the Kneeboard folder for the Spitfire in Normandy 2.0? I have tried searching using "Kneeboard" in all the locations suggested on google but nothing comes up for the Spit or Normandy. It is definitely in the sim as I can bring it up easily using a key combo and move back and forward using other key combos. I would like to add some .png files with my checklists to it. This is explained well in YouTube clips but I need that location to proceed with it. Many Thanks Peter
  13. Thank you very much for the helpful info. PC
  14. That sounds good. So once I spot them is there any way to let them know where the enemy are. Obviously if I start shooting I guess they will know. But other than that? It seems at the moment I am limited to just leading a 4 ship. Or have I missed something. The YouTube videos out there are great but often they dont quite provide what I am looking for. Cheers, PC
  15. I am trying to set up a fairly simple mission based out of Carpiquet. I have set up a few groups of Spitfire IXs parked on the ramps and some AI Mosquitos randomly parked. Also I have placed 4 x airfield defence artillery units spaced around the airfield. I have also made up a similar enemy airfield setup away to the south with 3 Ju88s on the runway bombed up and waypointed to Carpiquet. Numerous AI scattered around that airfield (Orly?) and a number of Flak37mm units to defend it. So far so good. How do I ensure that when I take off to intercept the Ju88s I am not on my own and my accompanying flight members will join me and obey my orders to attack my target or watch my back? Cheers Peter
