Spot on, but, this is a new hobby in a long line of ongoing expensive hobbies :)

Can I get some help on the dimensions and weight of the box that they come in? I live in India, and want to order to my daughters college in the US. Dont want to land her with a humongous and heavy box.

Hi Guys, I live in India, and can't order to India as we have about 50% duty, and also a 50% chance that imports will get 'lost'. So, I need to order to a US address, and my daughter will bring it here. She leaves the US on the 16th of Feb. When I go to the VKB site, I see that 1) they are closed till Feb 2nd for CNY, and 2) they ship from China, so it might take long Is it OK to order from say, X-Plane? Any other source? Any personal experiences on shipping timelines?

I would love the MFGs, but am such a noob, I just can't justify that price. Thanks. Will go with the VKBs.

Thanks guys. So, now to decide between the CH and the VKBs. Love the looks and build quality of the VKBs, and maybe toe brakes not so important I guess.

Newbie here, on a budget of about 200 dollars. Undecided between VKB and the Saitek/Logitech Proflight pedals. 1. Are the Saitek and Logitech the same? 2. I gather from reviews here that the VKB is better quality. So, how much better? And is it worth giving up the toe brakes? 3. If I get the VKB, can I get a third pedal that could ac as a wheel brake pedal? Something inexpensive. Is it even feasible to take your foot off the rudder pedal to apply wheel brakes?

My modules say 'keyless'. I dont have a key.

Well,I deleted the 'Saved Games' folder and started again. Had to do all my settings and config again, but it seems to be working now.

How? Having the same issue.

This has been driving me nuts. If I get out of the cockpit view, I just cant get back. F1 does not work, though have checked that the key is working. Does not seem to be bound by any other app either. The button that I mapped on my HOTAS does not work. I remap to any keyboard/HOTAS, and it does not work. Switch off trackir and it does not work. Any suggestions? Tried the repair DCS too.

You can use the Thrustmaster stick to control rudder by the twist right?

If I unplug the USB, there is no led on. I presume that then, the power is disconnected?

Thanks. That looks great. You mean you leave it connected, and you have that white LED on all the time?

Thanks. Another question. Every time I open dcs it opens up in the rift. Any way I can make it open for monitor play without disconnecting the rift? And then, is it possible OK to leave the rift plugged in all the time? Is the USB c for power only? If I unplug that alone will it leave the rift off? Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

Thanks. Any suggestions how to see fps in the headset? Saw that the other oculus tool is suggested but it does not have fps? What is AF? Edit: Got it. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

OK Guys, Just got my Rift S, and thanks to all in this forum. Have learnt a fair bit. Read all the 2000 plus posts here but now cant seem to find the 'settings' to use. In the presets, I was using HIGH, but when I select VR it looks a lower setting. Which should I choose? I have an 15 9600K with 16gb RAM, and a 2070 Super overclocked GPU. Have gone to the Oculus settings and selected the Quality over Performance, but any further help in the DCS settings would be greatly appreciated. Edit: Oh, and on another note, no issues with my squint. Also, how do guys who wear glasses make sure that they dont touch the lenses?

Thanks. Is there any difference in use of the Rift S between Steam and the stand alone? I just downloaded the steam one, and when I open it, it shows the settings and missions from my stand alone. Any idea why that is? Doe it use the same folders?

Why does Steam need less storage? Is stuff streamed during playing?

So, I am a noob here, and am using a downloaded version of DCS. Planning to buy some modules, and I see that there is a 'Steam' version too. I also see that there seem to be some issues with the Rift S and the steam version? Is that true, or have I misunderstood some posts? So is it better to go standalone or Steam, both generally and from the point of view of VR compatibility? EDIT: Saw this thread, so I think stand alone would be better I guess. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3698485

Couple of questions. 1. Why does the Rift halve the fps in the first place? 2. The glasses you use - are they with the numbers for your distance vision?

I can totally relate. I'm a surgeon with a squint, so no depth perception. Strangely, it helped when I started laparoscopic surgery, as I could adapt quickly to a screen vs the real life with 3d, and now, with 3d laparoscopy, I cant take advantage of that. Waiting to see what my experience with the Rift will be.

Disable? As in do you need to unplug it from the GPU, or is switching it off enough?

RTX 2070s is not enough for the Rift S?

Curious. What are your prescription numbers

Guys, I live in India, and my daughter eaves the US on 21st. Just ordered from Oculus on 16th morning. Do you guys think it's likely to reach Philly by 20th? No answer from Oculus. On their website it says that if shipped by USPS it might take upto 2 weeks? Anyone here ordered from Oculus to the east coast?
