StandingCow Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 As someone that has suffered from motion sickness since he was a kid: - Ginger gum (helps with nausea) - Seabands / relief band (some people say this is BS, but I swear it helps me, maybe placebo or mind over matter?) - Low FOV or FPS (jitteryness) and any sort of head bobbing will make it worse. - Dramamine I also wonder, since having the window open in a car... if a small fan blowing in your face would help... never tried it though. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aginor Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Fresh air surely helped me when I got sick in a glider during a longer flight. Flying lots of circles is really taking its toll. That way I managed to not barf into the cockpit. :) DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa182 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Try ginger and mint tea :) I managed almost a solid 8 hours in DCS the other day and never felt sick at all. From what I've heard though, you want to try to increase your time in the Rift by a little more each time, but never let yourself get to the point where you feel like you're gonna throw up. Most people will adapt somewhat, but a few don't. The above two will help you last a bit longer. Also, don't play on an empty stomach or drink something that will cause nausea, for example strong green tea which contains tannins. Another suggestions: have a fan blowing at you and turn the volume up a bit while playing (not too loud!). Edited July 13, 2016 by Whoa182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustVisiting Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) When I first started using cv1 about 5 weeks ago I got nauseous easily and I could feel its effects hours after taking off the Rift unit. Now, after flying for 5 weeks at about 45 minutes a day I have almost no problems anymore. Along with a single tablet of Dramamine I really don't have problems. At worst I now feel a few seconds of discomfort at times but it only lasts a few seconds and disappears. Stuff like Dramamine does seem to help but just getting used to the unit helps even more. In another few weeks or month I don't think I'll have any problems left and the issues will be totally gone. I noticed that some people had issues when first using TIR. I never had issues with that. Everyone responds differently to this stuff. Edited July 14, 2016 by JustVisiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aginor Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Soon: Emails to DCSW users containing advertisement for ginger pills and tea: "How to last twice as long" "NealWillis tried this with success" "You won't believe this" "Use this weird trick from experienced men to last longer" "Kuky solved his problems with this prescription-free pill" :D DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
