  1. Read about the Inateck card, but not using it. All my USB's are 3.0 or 3.1. Again, worked like a dream for 3 days then boom, sounds cuts after 5 mins or so. Found some possible fixes on Oculus support forums that I'll try out tonight. After some research, it seems like a fairly common problem with not much support coming from Oculus... As for Oculus Tray Tools, I don't believe I have that installed. Only Oculus home. Is it part of the SDK?
  2. New rift user here.. Absolutely love it, especially the Huey...Amazing. But has anyone had sound issues with the rift? Had it working on a brand new build for 3 days now, and yesterday the sound stopped but did notice some "popping" before yesterday. I have to either replug the USB's in (all 3.0) or do a Beta option restart. Did some research and it sounds like it's an Oculus issue, not DCS. All sound properties, default devices etc are properly set. Like I said, worked great until yesterday. Tonight I'm going to verify my USB's are not on power saving (should be from the power settings options) via the device manager, but just wondering if any other DCS user with rift has had the same issue and what they did to solve it. Really don't want to take them off and go with a separate headset.. Thanks!

    DCS World 2 SSD

    I've got my OS on an NVMe drive, off to full boot in 4 seconds, but only a 120gb drive. I have 1.5 and 2.1 installed on a 1Tb SATA 6Gb SSD and they load within seconds. From mission select to in cockpit, maybe 10-15 seconds? Zero stutter in game either. From my experience I would save the $$$ over a NVMe and just use a SATA SSD for DCS. I used to use a simple WD 7200rmp HDD which would take MUCH longer to load and have occasional stutters...
  4. I was the same. I only bought one a few years ago because I always wanted THE Alienware.. And the price was decent. But after having to limit my visuals and getting about 25 FPS in Vegas max (AMD HD 7950) and wanting to try VR, I bit the bullet and built a new one. All told, minus VR, I spent only $2500ish for the new build (R4 was almost $3000 at the time) and it took me two days to get it up and running. Selling my R4 to help offset the cost too.. It's worth the move to current gen specs IMHO, not just for DCS
  5. G'day all. Just finished my new build. What a difference from my R4 that was about 5 years old. Been testing the last couple days and wow! In 1.5.7 getting between 90-120 FPS on the ground and 120-180 FPS in the air! In 2.1 getting between 80 on the ground and 150 FPS in the air, depending on aircraft. Never drops below 80 going low level and fast through Vegas! Options are all high except visibility is ultra but have AA and AF going through nVidia control panel instead of in game. I wanted to future proof this build and think I've succeeded. No stutter, lag and loading times from the SSD (1tb Mushkin) is just a few seconds. Can't wait for my rift to arrive on Monday!
  6. Online bugs that developed for me today on the TFP server. 1) auto hover would not work after about 25 minutes in the air after multiple hovers unless I land and then take off again. Everything in parameters. 2) was forced to do an auto repair. After the count down and the helo started to rise up it blew apart and spun into the ground.
  7. Nice! It will be good to split responsibilities flying the M. Copilot takes of the weapons and radios, pilot can concentrate on flying and being sneaky.
  8. Haven't order either of them yet, but from reading everything here you can only get 90+ fps with everything on low? Then what's the point? I understand "immersion factor" etc.. but if you can't read gauges, can't see trees, why bother spending $500 + on it? IMHO the eye candy that DCS affords is one of the reasons why I fly it. Turning it all off IOT have have a glorified TrackiR seems a little off.. Hopefully when I (possibly) get one next spring (heading overseas without my computer) the CV2 and newer GPU's will be out and things will have progressed to the point where it is a no brainer to want to purchase either the vive or the rift.
  9. Same. Got to close to an Eagle on an aerobatic server and the engine burst into flame.
  10. I'll take the updated version please.its a great mod.

    Blacking out

    I had the same thing and use the NVG mod, which will come off before I do a repair. When it first happened I thought I had a GPU driver issue as the HUD was the first thing to start to blur. A few alt-tabs back and forth and nothing, then it got worse until I almost blacked out and the dropped 30,000 feet. Awesome modelling Razbam!
  12. Good times! I can confirm that Martini is Plaiskool. He flew with us for a few minutes.
  13. Good stuff. See you all then, 10am on Sat for me. Just to confirm, is 1800Z check in time on TS or light the fires and kick the tires time?
  14. Thanks. When do we find out where we spawn?
  15. Email sent. Upon updating 1.5.2 Release to 1.5.3 today and then uninstalling 1.5.3 Beta, upon startup I received a notification that I was out of activations. Last night I had eight.
  16. Is the TS info correct for the 104th on the first page? I cannot connect with the provided information.
  17. Thanks! Appreciated.
  18. Just did a fresh install of 2.0 and then the 2.0.1 update and noticed that the "Next Waypoint, Airfield or Target" and "Previous Waypoint, Airfield or Target" command is no longer present in the command list. Anyone else?
  19. Sure you can. Just use the M-2000 NVG mod and you're set.
  20. Looks nice!
  21. Disabled the firewall completely and it worked so changed the private network profile to allow the port through. I still only have the main panel but the UFC and switches all work now. Its alot eqsier to work the computer now. Hopefully the maker fixes the issues with 1.5/2.0.
  22. Looks good! I'll have to try it out tonight.
