Popular Post Mrgone Posted December 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2021 To Eagle Dynamics, All Members, Contributors, Developers, Programmers, etc, I have been fighting a bone cancer now for four years and am finally in remission. DCS World and X-plane have been my only distraction. I am in debt to all of you. I own every module, and pretty much every Mod. In the beginning, and for almost 9 months following, the most torturous aspect to being sick was, having DCS installed and not even being able to play due to paralysis... A broken spine. I am sorry to state that I have made little effort since to remark or express a liking or, dislike to any and all of your works. Like YouTube, lets just remove the dislike button altogether (by the way, what the "F")? Your collective minds and contributions are all remarkable. I like all that apply to my installation. I have no criticisms or critiques. Well, maybe bigger booms! All patrons, at every level of experience are awesome. (Sappy Part), You have been my comrades, compadres, collaborators, colleagues and every other synonym one might use. All have been my unacknowledged friends and mentors. Differences aside, we come from all over the world with no other objectives in mind but share ideas and to enjoy this program which Eagle Dynamics has created for us. To all of you . . . Thank you for being there, for me, and for all other members you assist. Most of all, Thank you Eagle Dynamics. HAPPY NEW YEAR! 60 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Trooper Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Great to hear you are in remission and I truly wish you the very best of new years. For me it is only DCS, I have not tried the other Flight sims yet. I think it is just that ability to fly and be free of the tethers and burdens of life that makes flight sims so special. 2 HP G2 Reverb, Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate as standard. OpenXR user, Open XR tool kit disabled. Open XR was a massive upgrade for me. DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), 0 X MSAA, 0 X SSAA. My real IPD is 64.5mm. Prescription VROptition lenses installed. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC at the mo. MT user (2 - 5 fps gain). DCS run at 60Hz. Vaicom user. Thrustmaster warthog user. MFG pedals with damper upgrade.... and what an upgrade! Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height with brail enhancements to ensure 100% button activation in VR.. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound.... you know when you are dropping into VRS with this bad boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrgone Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 I waited a year for my pre-order G2 to arrive. Actually, I and a friend in 1982 were creating video-linked hardware and goggles however, the technology just was not there. I waited and waited for the technology to catch up. Most headsets were disappointing that I watched over the years. I took a chance before I died to finally invest in the G2. I have not been disappointed. There may be better unit but, not in my price range. Our original concept was for someone to wear the goggles, while another flew the airplane as hard and fast as possible, dodging any and every obstacle, while attempting to scare the crap out of they who were currently wearing the goggles. The first to remove them or scream were the loser! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost a privilege to sit in the pit of some airframe that a developer spent 1 or 2 years of their lives creating. There is simply no way I can go back to flight sims on a monitor, If you can live with the weakness of VR, or the weakness of the source code/hardware, then you are tasting something that our children will take for granted..... something absolutely awe inspiring.

Mrgone Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Thank you Sir! Wishing I'd not mentioned my personal issues, for it was really about all of you here in DCS. As for next year, I have many things to do to catch up . . . My biggest desire is however is to deflect some lead in my AH-64D. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUTON Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hello sir "Mrgone" personally I am not (alas) an ED creator nor a mod creator, so I didn t contribute in the help that all these people have directly or indirectly provided to you, but it is you with the story that you tell us who is an example for me, for us or for those who get complained every time a little problem appears after an update, yes you are an example of courage sympathy, so I say thank you for your testimony and wish you long life and prosperity in your flights with DCS.

Ercoupe Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 As a cancer survivor, myself, I wish you the same luck that that I was afforded. That was way back in 2002 and I'm still here. And enjoying the Hell out of DCS (I just purchased the Viper and the Syria map...damn!). It drives me crazy when people tear the sim apart. They just don't realize what they have here. Let's hope that this time next year we're both still flying. Who knows, maybe in the F4U!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
