Price dropped to $200 on the Virpil Panel

Brand new Virpil Control Panel 1 & Thrustmaster Cougar MFD panels. Cougars are new in the box, never used. Virpil panel I unboxed, and setup, and then never used it as my PointCtrl order got filled and I just click cockpits in VR now. I no longer have a use for either of these so they are up for sale.
Virpil Control Panel 1 (includes all its cables and label cards) - $200 Shipped
Thrustmaster Cougar MFD Panels - $70 Shipped
I accept Zelle and PayPal (F&F Only because of the new tax reporting BS)

Like new Corsair Dominator DDR5 32GB (2x16) 5200 C38 Kit. Ending up picking up the 6200 I was after originally so no longer need these. Ran Memtest on them before packing them up, passed with zero errors. Never overclocked outside of XMP settings, never saw voltage above 1.25 (default).
$350 Shipped

GTX 4 series looks like it might be coming later this year, looks promising. If it does I'll grab a 4090 and sell off my 3090.
-
You said 64gb RAM, are you using dual channel 32 sticks or 4x16? What MB? I had issues with 4x16 sticks causing issues and when I went to 2x16 they went away. All 4 sticks were good, but the z690 asus board didn't like 4 sticks. The Oculus should be easier to drive than the G2. I have both. The clarity in the G2 makes it worth the small performance hit.
-
Reverb G2 is working great for me on 11. Did all the usual VR windows settings tweaks and it is plenty smooth with a 3090 and 12900k. MB had some RAM issues at first that caused crashing but that was because apparently z690 boards don't like more than 2 sticks of RAM apparently right now. Once I figured that out its been smoothing sailing.

I have been searching everywhere to try and find a chart/list of the communications menu written out to help me configure VoiceAttack the way I want, does anyone know of or have a list/map of the communications menu?

Also, make sure you are positioning the cable correctly. I bring the cable around in front of me, push it up slightly, and tuck it right behind my belt buckle. Keeps it from gently pulling on the back of the headset while you are flying.

Not sure what you mean? The graphics cards I'm looking at are all 3070 or better. The "3700/3800X" refers to my (and the OP's) CPU. I was planning to get an EVGA or Gigabyte RTX 3080, but was told (as I mentioned) that the RTX 3090 would be needed for good VR.
Ah, I read the specs too quickly, saw 970 and read it as gtx970 in my brain. Running on no caffeine and hungry is no way to go through life, or the forums. 3080 Will handle things just fine. I have a 3090 and its great for VR, I can get 70-90 fps most of the time on a Reverb G2. Whatever you get, try and get as much VRAM as you can. DCS actually uses all 20GB on the 3090, which is both impressive and sad at the same time.

The question I want to know is that even though the resulting pixels may be the same, does one route or the other, based on how the PC renders everything make a difference in-game vs SteamSS? On paper they shouldn't, but paper and real world differ sometimes. Has anyone tested this quantifiably?

Nice How much weight in the back?
Not sure exactly. Threw in a set of handcuffs because I couldn't find a box of BBs I had intended to use, it balanced it out nicely so they are still in there.

I was getting really tired of having to tighten my Reverb G2 down so much to keep it from sagging on my face, or loosen it only to have to keep adjusting it, so I fixed it. Added some extra padding on top to help keep it from sliding, also makes it feel lighter. Also added a counterweight to the back to balance it out. Now it sits in place all session, I don't have to tighten it down to where my face ends up red when I take it off, and looking around feels much more natural. This is how they should all come.
I know someone will ask so here is what I used:

Not to piggyback too much, but I posted my specs over in the PC Hardware forum. I was told there that 1) I went nuts on the RAM (okay, maybe a little) and 2) My GPU could be better. Like the OP, I went with a Ryzen 7, and I hope to use an HP Reverb G2.
1. Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite mb
2. Ryzen 7 3700X CPU
3. 128GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4 RAM 3200MHz CL16
4. 2x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 SSD
5. Samsung 870 QVO 2TD SATA SSD
6. EVGA Super Nova 850 G5 80 Plus Gold
I am NOT real smart when it comes to computers. Cores and OCing and 95% of the other computer-related acronyms mean nothing to me. LOL So other than a good graphics card (I was recommended a 6900XT or RTX 3090 for VR), is the 3700/3800X up for this?
They were right on the GPU, with that little VRAM you will struggle in VR, especially with the Reverb G2. Updating the GPU should get you going. Look at the new AMD line or the Nvidia 3060 or better.

Occasionally my game will lock up in multiplayer when flying the F-16 after landing and then taking off again. After take-off, as soon as I switch to "Dogfight" missle mode, my game locks up and I have to force close it. Any ideas anyone? Doesnt seem to happen with other modules and I have no F-16 mods installed, nothing but skins.
-
Yeah, same issue here as of 4/20/20
-
I just went through this same thing. All modules regardless of purchase date will transfer over, you just have to link to the steam account from your dcs account profile and transfer the licences. They will then exist in both steam and standalone for you.
I couldnt get the super carrier to transfer over though, but I think that is because it is still in pre-purchase. Once it is released I would imagine it could pull over as well.
-
Disregard, found my answer, it will exist on both Steam and Standalone.
-
Awesome, thanks guys!
-
So I have looked all over and there is conflicting information given all the changes with Steam and modules activating in standalone. So I started playing DCS in Steam because I have 100+ titles already in it. However I am increasing frustrated with Steam and DCS sales/modules/offers not matching up and being degraded on Steam so I am thinking about switching to standalone. I have:
DCS: A-10C Warthog
DCS: Black Shark 2
DCS: F-14 Tomcat
DCS: F-16C Viper
DCS: F/A-18C Hornet
DCS: Flaming Cliffs 3
DCS: M-2000C
DCS: Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight
DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range Map
DCS: P-51D Mustang
DCS: Persian Gulf Map
DCS: SA342 Gazelle
DCS: UH-1H Huey
DCS: Su-33 for DCS World
My Question is, if I transfer these from Steam to Standalone, do they exist then in both, or will they deactivate from Steam altogether? Will they all transfer? I don't want to have to launch from steam to play the F-14, and then close and launch standalone to fly the f-16, etc...
It would be nice if the Steam Modules sticky was updated with a little information. Thanks guys!
-
I got it too. Deleted the file, did a game file check/repair to get a fresh copy back, added exception. Works fine now. Don't know why it would flag that dll though. Haven't heard anyone but Bitdefender users have issues though. (I am one)
-
I realized I can adding/linking my modules out of steam into standlaone and noticed the F-14 had an option to "transfer" the license. Does that add it to DCS and keep it also in steam? or is it a removal from steam and into standlone only?
-
Bummer, feel like I should have gotten the standalone version from the beginning, but I have hundreds of dollars into the steam version now. Seems like a big hassle to install two versions of the same thing. It’s too bad ED isn’t allowed to sell steam codes to their own products.
-
Steam only gets it for two weeks and i believe it doesnt start right away.
Does anyone know why that is? Us steam guys kinda get the short end of the stick it seems on these things.

Ok, so its not on Steam initially, when will it be added to Steam for pre-order?
Its hard to understand why it wouldn't be available on Steam when all of the other modules have been. A lot of us are on Steam.
