That's also my guess on that. But they won't get around multicrew anyway. Hoping for some collab with HB here, since they've done it already. I'd absolutely love to get a VP later on. The GSh-23 is adequate for most targets as well.

That APKWS though... I hope Razbam will take that over to their Harrier since they initially said they'd add it if they manage to code it. Now they'd just have to wait for ED's implementation of that one. And the KW will have it as well

Seems to work fine now even with my custom dot labels (conf'd as full label). Thanks for fixing that

Since I don't know who you're referring to as this is your first post on this topic: I'd like to see the top streamer that runs a G1 on less than a 3570k and 1080 8G. And you didn't even tell your specs at all...

On Oculus, we could run OculusMirror.exe --RectilinearBothEyes, but how to take screenshots from that when the DCS mirror needs to be focussed to accept any input while in VR? I guess I'd have to delve into OBS recording to be able to take shots from the video that's been taken from OM... tried that once a few years ago, but failed deliberately. Too bad we can't cofigure the DCS own mirror like that. No idea to change this on SteamVR though. It's as easy as firing up the Hornet cold and dark and ready on the ramp instant actions on Caucasus and just looking around actually Especially with the shadows of the HASs it's so obvious it hurts.

I'll probably up my rig next year, something 9700Kish or equivalent plus literally everything except for drives and a graphics card, so I wonder if the G2 would run sufficiently well enough on a 1080 nonti in that until I can afford a 3080ti later on as I don't wanna do half baked things again and just get the real thing, this is DCS after all. Having the res bumped quite significantly meanwhile would make flying a lot gooder™ though.

Bought those immediately when I got my Rift as well. Wasn't able to see shit without, just as IRL. Didn't even need to see any optician or even my opthalmologist to get my diopters. That's the advantage of having prescription lenses already built into the eyes. Just had to fetch a formula from wikipedia and calculate the values myself. And that's literally a steal considering the fact you can't get a set of prescrition glasses with even one plain lens in it for <150€ as soon as you need negatives in Germany thanks to the capitalist cartels we have. But the same opticians can sell two lenses without a glasses frame around it and just some 3d printed plastic instead for much less... BTW I'd need at least 3 sets of glasses which would roughly be as much as a Reverb G2. I'd take the G2 if I had the money hooves down.

Generally, the quote-unquote visual gain of AA, SS and PD > 1.0 simply isn't worth the MASSIVE performance drop anyway. The difference is hardly visible at all, yet it could force even a Cray to it's knees. On top of it in sims like DCS, all those methods incude some kind of blur that makes it a lot harder to spot things. It's literally like buying an i7 / i9 (G9+) for almost thrice the price tag of an i5 / i7 (G9+), just for being able to disabling the HT within the BIOS which is recommended literally everywhere. I never got why people kept doing that... if all those would have given the excess money to me instead, I'd literally have all my problems in life solved at once

I tried to run that though a translator and checked various dicts. Only result was that the word probably meant was "exeter" which translates exactly to "exeter" in my language, which didn't help me understand it at all as the only meaning of it I could find was a town in England named Exeter. Maybe you could spread yor wisdom here? BTW: You're completely wrong! CC's main use is to skyrocket the price tag of graphics cards as we all know well enough

Wikipedia might not always be the most-trustworthy site on the interwebz, but it says: I guess that the model meant by "Stinger block II". If that's correct, the thing never even made it anywhere near operational.

I'm seeing this as well since a few builds (guess it started around the SC release) and I was woondering if it was an issue with my controls or even wind affecting. Then just recently I discovered it does never happen on a hot start, all fine there. If I cold start a Hornet and fly it with no stores, it always tends to roll to the right and I have to counter trim it, and retrim it for every speed or AoA change as if I had asymmetrical stores on it - if I start it hot on ramp or runway, the thing stays perfectly level. There's definately some kind of issue here.

The difference is massive. It's like having one's blindness cured... ED should hire this guy and pay him well, totally deserved

Especially consindering it is 30% off already... I wish I could get hardware to such great conditions...

I'm pretty sure I have that axis... but I do lack keyboard/HOTAS assignments for pulling the lever and lifting the cover. So I presume that's a custom line in the lua files I have found here, but the devs didn't take it over yet.

I've yet to get there as well. Just had her at 2.2, but leveling out at 36500 resulted in the speed actually dropping slowly, so I guess it still maxes out at around 2.15 IMN as it always has been since release. So either the speed is off, or the mach meter. The speed is literally limited by the intake ramps, which is also the reason the later D model is limited to 1.88 by reprogramming the ramps in order to reduce maintenance hours. I kinda expected that with the F-111 being able to hit M 3 with those... That happens in the Hornet as well, speed there is M 1.23. Has been explained already why As for the RAM: You bought a 9900k, a 2070 and ~130-140 for another 32GB of the RAM you have already is pricey? Even your board alone is twice that I paid the same for half of that of old DDR3 just two years ago because of the very same issue... and I can't afford a 9900k or any of the 20x0 cards (don't count anything lower than the 70 though as they're useless for DCS)... and I never paid more than 120-130 for a board I could only image you put 4x 8GB in there and therefor would have to replace them.

I just watched a few minutes from that timestamp you gave for the linked VOD. You literally blew me away, that's what it's supposed to look like IMHO. Guess I'll have to try that out now

I just tried out that bloom option in the VR tab and it seemed to be a noticable bit better in general with that on. For example I was able to read the console labels at gamma 1.6 with that on in my last flight. What I expected was some glare bloom that we probably all know of so many other titles so that we instinctly switch it off whereever we see it... Still not as good as it used to be though. I'll go and have a look at your shader set though. The first line which says "Reduced haze/foggyness on horizon skyline/terrain" alone makes it worth a try at least.

I now tried the counter-intuitive by switching that bloom option on in the VR tab that I kept off until now. I had the impression it got better with that, and also the lighting inside <> outside seemed to fit better with that. Still needs tweaking though as it was better before.

Just hit my guess, and yes, some in the Hornet take some considerable time, like the launch bar one. Guess I'll have to delve down the utterly crappy TARGET software again to change that accordingly. That piece of kit is the perfect example of how "user friendly" is not to be made... and I've beaten Trespasser: Jurassic Park aka The Arm Simulator (which would work tremendously well in VR BTW, totally worth a remake) back in the day. Probably also seeing this a lot more often now due to the abysmal performance as of 2.5.6... Nevertheless, this is something that needs to be fixed on DCS's end.

Noticed almost the same, just that I think it began with the Channel release. Well, one week give or take I used to run DCS at 2.8 gamma in 2.5.something and prior, 1.6 IIRC in 1.x. All pancake. My screen is calibrated rather dark I might add. When switching to the Rift, I went down to 2.2 and it was great - until that change. Have to go down to 1.6 or even more, but then DCS literally became the Dark Cockpit Simulator again, where I can't see s*** inside the cockpit with the sun glaring into it from directly above. Most parts are just pitch black. Then again, when looking outside, everything became very milky, foggy and washed, like having a cataract to the canopy glass combined with gamma cranked to 3.0+. That's the part where it is a bit better in pancake, but it's still a lot worse than it was in 2.5.5. I dare to say, it's unplayable ATM. The whole brightness calibration is just _AFU_ right now, and that made it into Stable, just unbelievable. VFR is completely impossible at above 10kft, can't tell a forest from fields and it's impossible to see roads, railtracks etc in the mist. Yet I still see footage on the Tube based off of the most recent build that does not seem have the haze-fog-soup as intense as I have it. Keeps me wondering... do they have some tweaks I am missing out?

I've watched the vid three times, haven't seen a missile at all. But if the thing does what I think it does, I've just seen a Maverick do the same a few days ago and even GB-12s do that in the past. BTW what is it will all the audio-less videos lately? New kind of challenge on the interwebz? They seem to grow popularity a lot these days and I think it's weird.

Didn't know it was possible with Vikhrs on the inner racks. I remember trying that ages ago and it didn't work back then. If you want some real fun, go ahead and hang those pods on it that come with the Mi-8... Just be wary of the massive fps drop when 8 7.62mm and 4 12.7mm gatlings blaze away... I also tried the depressable 23mm twin pods, but they wouldn't depress. That however worked quite well on MiG-29s and Flankers... Or try lifting off with a bunch of FAB-1500s (it's possible)...

Well, I thought it was a helicane TBH

And much more importantly, the MiG-23MLA and EE Lightning...
