  1. @everyone So I ended up splurging a bit and got both. After side by side testing I like the TQS better than the Winwing Orion for the F-16. While the Orion base has more buttons, I just don't use them as much if at all in VR. I even printing a new button for the Winwing RNG knob to help make it better. They are both good, but for ease of use out of the box, setup, and likeness of the real F16 the TQS is better. I will keep the Winwing in case I need it or for other aircraft. Mounting the TQS to my simpit was a bit more challenging than the Winwing though. Had to improvise a bit to mount the TQS.
  2. I have a map and scenario created but want only one player aircraft to be able to see the full enemy map, and have symbols enabled but the others none. Want them to be able to fly the mission with the others. How can I set this? This is for a my son that is new to DCS that wants to play with us but doesn't know the aircraft systems. I want to keep it harder for me but make it easier for him. High level example: F18 player - Cannot see AI on map, Cannot see or use Simulation symbols F16 player - Can see full MAP, Can see/use symbols. Thanks!!
  3. Just got my Crystal in. replacing a Valve Index. I do not wear glasses at all but my eyebrows still touch the lenses. This is very annoying that Pimax has zero distance adjustments.
  4. Looking for a side by side pro/cons for the Winwing's F16 Throttle and the Thrustmaster Viper TQS. I am strictly looking for realism and quality. Not really wanting to battle over value/price. I almost only fly F16 and want a good quality item. Just looking for Throttle comparisons. Thanks Everyone!
  5. Foresee any issues with hybrid Orion2 F16 Throttle and Warthog Stick? I typically like to fly F16 and love that WinWings has the F16 module. I have Warthog for the last decade and thinking if I should make the move to WinWing Throttle. I am not seeing the real need to upgrade the stick at this time.
  6. Updated to 2.77 and all my keybinds and controller binds were wiped away. Default bogus binds are now back in its place with Rudder also being aileron, toe brakes are pitch, and all my custom button settings made inside DCS are gone. Including keybinds. One example is the MAP, I play in VR so I made spacebar map toggle so it is easier while wearing the HMD, that is now back to F10. Furthermore, I was unable to load my input bindings save. Invalid file apparently when loading my backup from the previous version. This has happened to me at least a dozen times over the history of DCS. Where all of my keybinds are wiped from existence on All aircraft. Hours of time spent just gone... I do not use 3rd party programs for bindings either, All of my bindings are done inside DCS.
  7. Just out of curiosity and to see if I need to make any throttle adjustments. What speeds are everyone seeing in the SIM? With 2x wing fuel tanks, AIM9Ms on the wings I am seeing Mach 1.2 full AB straight and level flight at 15k feet ASL
  8. ok i got it worked out. Apparently I was missing a DCS update. Checked for updates and it found one and now its working... :)
  9. It doesn't see the Axis when depressed. The Rudder Axis show up when assigning but the toe brake axis do not. I tested with the F18 by clearing the axis mapping and it picked it up right away without an issue. Will load it up and take a screenshot just in case I am missing something stupid.
  10. I have the Vive, Odyssey, and Valve Index. I ditched the Odyssey for the Valve Index for DCS. The Index is just amazing and super comfy. With a 2080GTX the Valve Index is just amazing. Increase FoV over the others I have had and the base stations/Controllers are easily setup in SteamVR. I can read everything in the cockpit without issues with the Valve Index as well. I don't use the controllers in DCS so I have just one base station mounted in front of my SimPit. I use a mouse and head look for in cockpit switches at the moment. Works great! I use the SIM so much that I have not even setup the Index for room scale. I still use the HTC Original Vive for roomscale games. Half-Life:Alyx works just fine on the old Vive too. Back on topic... I ditched the Odyssey because of the inside out tracking. It was awful when I was trying to look around fast while controlling the Sim. It also hurt my head after a while. The Pimax will be the best for FoV but its more difficult to setup than the Index. Thumbs up for the Index here.
  11. Would be amazing if DCS/Eagle Dynamics can add the B-17 Flying Fortress. Can make it multiplayer for various crew positions. Even allow the various player to swap between positions within the aircraft if they aren't the pilot. Even allow copilot transfer of controls.
  12. I'm also having issues getting OBS to record at the center screen using the OBS VR Plugin. With right or left eye it is off to the side of whatever eye is being captured. Anyone have any luck getting a good centered view?
  13. I know this is an old thread but I am having the same issue with mapping just the Toe Brakes in the F-16. All other Aircraft the toe brakes are mapping without any issues. I have tried several USB ports as well as restarted DCS many times. Again, it is just with the F-16.
  14. Thanks for the links Void78! I did not have those tools. Running through that fixed it. In my win7 machine I just used the windows calibration and had no issues. Thanks all, it is resolved now. --- Can't wait for F-16 DCS! <- Former F16 Pilot here
  15. All, I might have read a solution somewhere but can't find it anymore. I reinstalled Warthog throttle on a new PC and only getting 85% max throttle what I can see all of my sims / games (DCS, IL2, x-Plane, Elite Dangerous, etc...) Has anyone run into this and can provide input on a solution? Thanks!
  16. I have had nothing but the best results from the Odyssey. I use the Odyssey for all my Sims now. Just simply amazing quality for the price. My Vive I use for roomscale games. Odyssey you can see cleaner and crisper images and read all the gauges in the cockpit.
  17. I would like to see more with the FA/18 line similar to what we had with A-10 where we can have a add on pack that includes full training, and even testing of systems, operations, etc... Then, can include something like Red Flag with the FA/18 or a campaign.
  18. Open up WMR first. Then, open steam and start Steam VR. Steam VR will open over the WMR screen. After that is when you can launch DCS either Steam or non Steam version. I use non-Steam DCS version with the Odyssey. Also, dont use the controllers for the Odyssey if you're just going to Sim.
  19. I have both the HTC Vive (first Gen) and the Samsung Odyssey. I now exclusively use the Samsung Odyssey just for DCS and sims in my home build cockpit. I setup the Odyssey without the controllers on purpose and set as a seating only and I have never had any issues with it. The clarity is far better than the Vive first Gen and it is smooth graphics with a NVidia 1080GTX, Intel i7-6850K at 3.6GHZ no overclocking. PC has 64GB ram but DCS doesn't need that much. I love the Odyssey so much for DCS and simming that I pulled apart my 3 TV setup in my sim.
  20. throttle and rudder need to have the slider checkbox checked in Axis tuning I found to function properly. This also includes the Toe brakes if you have them.
  21. Thanks, finally got it and it is absolutely amazing!!! Almost like reliving my military career with Odyssey and DCS. So much more realistic immersion. Now only if i can stop myself from reach out with my hand for the cockpit controls! Oh, I think DCS needs to bring in the F-16 next :) :thumbup:
  22. For me I seem to be stuck in the Windows Mixed Reality Screen. DCS never transfers to the HMD. Steam vr starts without issues too.. Many times DCS.exe will just go unresponsive. My settings match the screenshot This is a fresh install of DCS i7 6850K @ 3.6Ghz, 64 GB RAM, M2 SSD, NVidia 1080 GTX, Win10 Ent
  23. I have Gig internet. Speed tests are 930MB/s Down and Up. I am reinstalling DCS on a new PC and I'm only getting 0.7Mb/s DL Rate. There must be a better way. I have 20 more GB's to go. At this rate I won't be done for days!
  24. Who do I need to donate to so my beta never expires?!!!! I don't even want to play DCS anymore without this program working.
  25. ok I setup Helios to work well with UltraMFD and not my ultramfd program beta has expired. I see no links to purchase out of beta. I don't even feel like playing anymore now that I got spoiled with ultramfd. Anyone have any links on how to not be stuck in beta?
