VR enthusiast squadrons?


Kirin

Recommended Posts

Greetings aces.

 

Are there any virtual squadrons that put their main focus on flying in VR? I always found it frustrating being the only VR user while flying together as procedures were based around the regular 2D screen users. Flying in VR has some quirks like not being able to easily access programs outside of DCS while in the headset and different requirements for spotting in game etc.

 

So it would be great to take the skies with fellow pilots that share the glory and the pain of current year VR flying.

 

I am usually available GMT +1 evenings or weekends. It would be great to hear back from enthusiasts.

I’m interested, for one thing, I’m conscious of my inability to identify aircraft whilst in VR.

I’ve recently been building building up a training server, focused towards VR use, though I’m only running it when online myself.

If you’re interested in swapping thoughts, let me know.

System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse.

Server: i5 2500@3.9Ghz, 1080, 24GB DDR3, SSD.

Sounds awesome. :thumbup:

Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment.

Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

 

Currently rolling with a Asus Z390 Prime, 9600K, 32GB RAM, SSD, 2080Ti and Windows 10Pro, Rift CV1. bu0836x and Scratch Built Pedals, Collective and Cyclic.

We all fly VR bar one person. It's always a mixed bag out there, you find a lot of people do though, but there's no reason to kick friends out because they can't afford the hardware! So mixed it will remain.

Nice. I did not expect that much echo. I do not want to exclude anyone - I myself have friends that don't have access to VR. I just want a group of people that run missions and servers that cater to the special needs of VR pilots as we are not up to par with the screen pilots yet.

 

Let's get that thing rolling, gentlemen.

 

I have no experience in server setups or missions. I will gladly help with what I can.

I believe there are only 3 in our wing that do not fly VR; the rest are all VR.

I used to run a server with 3 of us flying in VR when we were on 1.5 - 2.5 brought its own set of new problems and I've not run it since.

 

I do still have it set up for 1.5 on my second PC, which I could update to 2.5, but as I've not run that yet, I'm likely to run into issues. I also have no experience with the IC and I use - as I suspect many others do, Kegetys' VR optimising mod, which fails the IC. So whoever runs it, IC should be disabled, if possible.

 

Otherwise I would be happy to run it every evening (zulu/GMT) for a few hours.
