Just had this in my notifications:

 

 

Edit: Works now, initial post in spoiler:

 

 

 

Won't embed because the Tube has issues at the moment and won't even let me see Spud's uploaded videos from his channel unless I have a direct link to it. May edit this later when it works, here's it in a spoiler though:

 

 

Edit 2: New vid added:

 

 

 

 

Edit 3: He just made it private... dunno why, but I'll leave it in here so it will work as soon as he opens it up again.

 

Edit 4: Another one that I haven't been notified for:

Sweet!

[Chopper A-10]

Several good videos on YouTube today about the super carrier module, can't wait, next week!

[Sharkku]

Very nice video! Thanks!

 

 

 

However, I'm more than a little concerned with the IFLOLS not being visible, to the degree you need an artificial IFLOLS overlay. I want immersion above all, since I fly in VR. An artificial overlay like that seems very immersion breaking. Is the "real" IFLOLS usable at all?

The talk about the option to disable it.

 

Also talking about immersion. In VR the poential of the eyes are so much bad that you will never pass the medicine check to come to the military at all.

[Sharkku]

Yeah, flying in VR is currently like having 20/60 vision or something. But on the Stennis, the IFLOLS is visible enough to use, even in VR. With the Index, it's not so bad.

I recently saw either Nineline or Bignewey posting about a visibility issue with the IFLOS on SC and it's being fixed for the 20th. Hopefully this fix will eliminate the need to use it unless requested.

 

I'll try to find the post in a few hours for you

Newy was kind enough to answer a PM of mine and confirmed that the IFLOLS is working as of now and it is planned to be ready for the 20th, but stated that they will know more closer to release day.

Great to know. I'm not even sure, but I think when I last did a CV landing (was in 255, I fly less since 256), I could even see the ball in the CV1 without zooming, although it was hard. Got the Quest now as well though, I'll try to see if it's better there. Should be, as the res is much higher with 1440x1600 vs 1024x1200, but you'll have to take the image compression into consideration as well. In a quick test it worked quite well via VD even with the router sitting in the next room and I had absolutely no problems playing HL:A in the living room (which was the main reason for me to get that thing as I can't play 360° roomscale in the room my rig is in) for over 2 hours. Had the impression the image was better than in the CV1 as well. I also think I could read the F-16 HUD and MFCDs better and spot things a little easier in the quick freeflight mission. So I expect to be able to see the ball more easily as well

[BIGNEWY]

the team are tweaking the ball visibility, hopefully that will be in for the 20th, if not it wont be long after.

 

I am using a vive cosmos and not having problems seeing it once I am 3/4 mile.

 

thanks

If you can see it in VR then I feel very confident it will work on a monitor... thank you for the report.

[Rikus]

In night operations, why signalmen do not use the luminous sticks?

 

 

Like in second 30 of this video:

 

 

[Bloodhound57]

They will be Rikus. They are planning to add them in early access.

Edit: Shoot, he just made it private... I'll leave it in here though.

Well, you've got 1700 pixels vertical resolution there which is amazing. Only the Reverb and Pimax HMDs are providing a sharper image I guess.

 

Edit 2: Found another vid I didn't get a notification for, cheeky Google:

Nice find on the Kuz video. :) I've been wanting to see it put through it's paces. Spudknocker didn't have that drop in his Su-33 that we've seen from the AI, so it's not a flight thing at least.

[Rikus]

Thank you Sir
