hannibal Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 whats the graphic setting to see wing tip vorticies? find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179
Kuky Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 There is no graphic setting to see wingtip vortices. The effect is always there. Make a mission with rain or high humidity, and they will show even at very small AoA and G.

Will also Translate to DX12 / UWA Games. It Makes sense, as Kinect II can track you entire body, and individual fingers etc, even while holding controllers. We tested a Tactical Shooter, that tracked fingers for trigger pull, for a more tactile experience we were holding empty Airsoft replica's Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs

dogbite Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 As far as I can tell, there are a few hand tracking solutions "in development. Leap Motion could be useful, the Manus Glove could be cool http://www.wareable.com/vr/manus-vr-gloves-gdc More is development here https://www.engadget.com/2014/06/05/control-vr-motion-tracking-gloves/ It would seem a lot of hand and body peripherals are coming. I don't see why this wouldn't work for DCS as far as hands in the game goes.

JNelson Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Just ordered an Occulus Rift sending back my vive (made the wrong choice). Anyone have an intel on if they plan on making orders on time for august and do we know if it is late or early august. Community A-4E-C

KLR Rico Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Nice chart! Do you have by any chance an older GTX lying around, to run with the same specs and see how much FPS 1080 adds? I have a 970 that I put in my wife's work computer, I'll see if I can steal it back for some testing. I didn't do any scientific testing at all when I did the swap, but when I first put in the 1080 I was a bit disappointed I didn't see any significant FPS increase in DCS at all. Then I cranked up the pixel density to 2.0 and suffered basically no FPS hit for a MUCH better image quality, which was worth the upgrade price itself. i5-4670K@4.5GHz / 16 GB RAM / SSD / GTX1080 Rift CV1 / G-seat / modded FFB HOTAS
Chivas Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 For those wondering if they made the right VR headset choice for flight sims, here's a youtube video from UKRifter, who owns the DK1, DK2, CV1, and Vive. He loves his Vive, Rift, and the Vive gets more use with his family, and he makes some very interesting points on scale etc. In this case he's running Project Cars, but has done a number of flight sims aswell.

Anyone have an intel on if they plan on making orders on time for august and do we know if it is late or early august. Palmer has stated recently that Oculus should be caught up with orders in August or before if all works out. Anyway I would have serious reservations about ordering from Oculus. If you have to go thru the Oculus RMA process, good luck to you. Although that might speed up as well when orders catch up. The better option might be thru BestBuy if your close enough to one that sells them. You might have to wait for their next shipment to fill the RMA order, but it would still likely to be weeks quicker than the Oculus RMA process. Maybe order thru Oculus and cancel it if one come available at your local Bestbuy.
Enduro14 Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Thanks very tempting but already got a 1080 to pick up today lol. Wife would kill me, I'll wait until Jan after work trip. Again thanks for the heads up that should help out allot and it seems Amazon was good to go to ship to My APO which is awesome Intel 8700k @5ghz, 32gb ram, 1080ti, Rift S
Crunchy Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 How do you adjust your view in the A10C? I'm far to close to the front panels and want to move back a bit. I was able to do this before by pressing middle mouse button and dragging back the mouse, but it seems to have been removed now?

KLR Rico Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Hold RCtrl + RShift, then use the keypad to move around (I think * and - are the forward/aft adjustments). I usually look over my shoulder and use the headrest to gauge where I should be. When you get it where you want, use RAlt + KP0 to save the view position. i5-4670K@4.5GHz / 16 GB RAM / SSD / GTX1080 Rift CV1 / G-seat / modded FFB HOTAS
Johnny Dioxin Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Cool I think I'll pick one up. I use voice attack so I'm almost never on the keyboard now. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Good stuff - I'm thinking of putting a little sticky velcro on the nose and at the top centre of the face liner on the Rift, just to keep it better in place. It can quite efficiently block out the nose gap if you want it to, but I don't notice that once the image is up in the Rift anyway. I use VAC , though I do have Voice Attack - I already had all my profiles for VAC done, so I guess it's just laziness (or lack of time) that has prevented me from trying VA up to now. I also don't have time to watch all those videos that they have, instead of a readme or pdf manual that I could refer to as I go. But there always seems to be something that needs to be pressed on the keyboard at some stage!

Johnny Dioxin Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Just ordered an Occulus Rift sending back my vive (made the wrong choice). Anyone have an intel on if they plan on making orders on time for august and do we know if it is late or early august. You should have it this month. For the UK, they are well caught up on the preorders (barring payment issues) and people are gtting their post-release Rifts much quicker. They have also said in a recent interview that they expect to be completely up to date with all orders by the end of July. PS - Just heard from VR Lens Lab and for those KS backers of the VR lenses - they are shipping them out next week - and they said they will be sending thousands each day, so won't be long to wait now :) Edited July 5, 2016 by Brixmis Rig: Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS; Ryzen 7800X3D ; 64GB DDR5 5600; RTX 4080; VPC T50 CM2 HOTAS; Pimax Crystal Light I'm learning to fly - but I ain't got wings With my head in VR - it's the next best thing!
NeilWillis Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I ordered my Rift in May, and it is due by the end of the day today. I'm in the UK, and a little restless right now! I'd be interested to know how good the lenses turn out to be too.

SageOT Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I have just updated 1.5 and now the cursor is a white spot that changes to a blue cross then disappears and it will not operate anything in the cockpit. Help please. You mean 1.5 Beta? The update should not have flowed to 1.5 Stable yet... As for that issue... that's the first I've heard of that particular one and I've been trying to keep an eye on all the new bugs just out of curiosity. Sorry, no answer for you.

MBot Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 What I noticed with my new CV1 is that the picture is only really sharp in the center of the screen. With pixel density 1.5 most labels are well readable if I look directly at them but about halfway between the center and the edge they become increasingly blurry. Is this normal? It leaves quite a negative impression, as I rarely center my head on things I want to look at. The other thing I noticed is that the fps is suspiciously often exactly 45 fps in heavy scenes. Since this is exactly 50% of the devices refreshing rate, this doesn't seem be a coincidence. Whats the matter about that?
