The Kiowa Warrior is a versatile aircraft that is well-suited to locating enemy forces that can then be passed to other forces to engage. The OH-58D also packs a punch with an assortment of weapons. It will find a great home flying along the AH-64D and the upcoming CH-47F Chinook in DCS. While the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior thrives in the reconnaissance role, making full use of its iconic Mast Mounted Sight (MMS). In more recent conflicts, it’s played a pivotal role in both gathering critical intelligence and supporting ground troops with precision fires on enemy positions. Armed with an array of weapons that include laser-guided Hellfire missiles, a .50 caliber M3P machine gun, Stinger air-to-air missiles, and a large selection of unguided and guided rocket types like the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS), we’re certain that DCS: OH-58D Kiowa Warrior pilots will find it thrilling to roll in hot on targets. Please check out the Development Screenshots. Pimax Crystal Promotional advert Experience Virtual Reality in DCS like never before with the Pimax Crystal VR headset. Delivering an incredibly high 5760 x 2880 pixels with a host of performance-enhancing features like foveated rendering, the Pimax Crystal promises market-leading clarity and convenience for the ‘ultimate’ life-like simulation. The Pimax Crystal is an outstanding choice for DCS providing crisp and clear displays for visually tracking targets whilst providing excellent performance. Key Features: Inside-out tracking means there’s no need to buy or manage base stations. Glass aspheric lenses, QLED panels, and local dimming create vivid colors with realistic contrasts. 2880 x 2880 native resolution (per eye, even at 120Hz), delivers incredible clarity. Eye tracking means the Crystal is Quad Views capable, allowing it to perform with exceptional GPU efficiency. An Introduction To Quad Views Eye-tracking within the Crystal enables the use of Quad Views, a form of Dynamic Foveated Rendering that uses the position of the user's gaze to render in full resolution only the area the user is looking at. Areas outside the user gaze are rendered to a lower resolution, which results in DCS VR performance gains of up to +50% FPS. Watch the video above for a demonstration. Learn more about Quad Views for Pimax here. Available Now: Follow this link and use code DCS2024 during checkout to purchase your Pimax Crystal with a $100 USD discount, available until March 15th. Visit the Pimax area of the DCS forum where Pimax staff are available to answer your questions and support your VR experience. To hear what the DCS VR community has to say about the Pimax Crystal, please follow the video playlist link here. Make the most of the incredible offerings that await you in the DCS Lunar Sale 2024. Polychop’s Kiowa is progressing well, and the Pimax Crystal promotion is your gateway to an even more immersive virtual reality experience. Thank you again for your passion and support, Yours sincerely, 14 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBot Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I see that ED is endorsing the Pimax Crystal now, so I feel that I need to drop a warning here about Pimax's business practice. Last summer I brought a Crystal which did not function according to specifications (battery lasted only for 2 hours playtime even with power cable connected). After some back and forth, Pimax has ultimately acknowledged the defect and agreed to my demand for a refund. What followed is a half-year odyssey of Pimax resisting to accept my return shipments of the Crystal, with shipments not being picked up by Pimax and getting returned to me. They say they will not refund me until they get the Crystal back, at the same time not actually taking the Crystal back. After half a year, this is still ongoing. For anyone considering doing business with Pimax, especially with this endorsement by ED, I encourage you to consider these business practices. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachmonkey Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 yup, I'm with @MBot on Pimax. If you are willing to try it out then purchase it from a local seller (amazon and the likes) in order to avoid months long customer service issues directly with China. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 First the “year of the long” video and now a promotional message from Pimax… This reminds me of other companies/institutions trying to pander to the Chinese market.

ChuckJäger Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I've heard it's best to buy the Pimax through amazon. Seems like a safe way to enjoy this headset and save some headache should you want to return it. Switching gears to the positive... I cannot wait for the Kiowa or the Chinook.... DCS is fulfilling all of my helicopter dreams!

Hotdognz Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Its great to see ED support VR and I welcome Pimax here as its good for DCS VR in general and a first for a VR consumer company to have a direct path to its users here, if you buy from local like I did then your warranty is with the store, I wont comment on dealing direct as I didn't. As to the KW, great to hear ED have it and that hopefully means the long road for this module is near release, I cant wait to add it to the excellent Apache I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
