Prophet4no1 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 So what are the must haves for DCS:BS? I'm not looking for conversions and really major stuff. Just the little things that really enhance the experiance or are good options to tailor the experiance. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Woots Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I've got the following mods - rotor blur - Arma sound pack - no head movement default (for track IR) - ancient runways - no cloud shadows [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Prophet4no1 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 Little more on the no head movement and the ancient runways please. Is the no head movement to stop the game from moving and bobbing the camera? Do I need this for trackIR (mine arrives tomorrow)? I'm guessing the ancient runways makes them in that blocky style I've seen in vids of Russian fighters. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Gloomshadow Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I cannot overstate how much I love sharkpit 2.0 with dust and scratches by lee. Migo's shkval mod is awesome also. It just adds so much more immersion into the cockpit, I couldn't go back ... no way.
Gloomshadow Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I kept head movement on with trackir ... it shouldn't be a problem. I don't know why they would want to remove it.

Frazer Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Little more on the no head movement and the ancient runways please. Is the no head movement to stop the game from moving and bobbing the camera? Do I need this for trackIR (mine arrives tomorrow)? I'm guessing the ancient runways makes them in that blocky style I've seen in vids of Russian fighters. Headmovement off is rather a preference as a must have. What it does is keeping your head level with the horizon while in turns. Some pilots do this though I was learned never to do this because you kind of loose the contact with the aircraft. I can imagine people not having track ir like this movement, but there is not really a reason to have this movement on if you have track ir because if you wish to keep the head level with the horizon, you should use your track ir! Another good reason to put this off is if you do aerobatics the headmovement gets crazy when you make loops and such. Forum | Videos | DCS:BS Demo1 / Demo2 | YouTube Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I'm guessing the ancient runways makes them in that blocky style I've seen in vids of Russian fighters. Ancient runway mod adds grass in the cracks and black tire marks on the runway ends. It makes the runways look more realistic IMO. I also use the "cockpit mouse and trackIR" fix. This prevents the mouse from controlling your view inside the cockpit - without it the mouse view "fights" the trackIR and you get motion glitches. Very annoying.

Hunt3r.j2 Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I'd like to try out the Sharkpit 2.0, but preferably without dust and scratches.

Woots Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) Not sure why you need a fix, My mouse never controled in inside view. Uhh . . because the mouse and TrackIR fought each other for control, kinda like I said. Alot of people use it. Edited January 30, 2010 by Woots [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

And like I said, mine don't. Never have. The mouse has only moved the cursor, not the camera. So, there must be a setting some place that makes it unnecessary to mod it. Not sure what I did but it's never been an issue. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I'm guessing the ancient runways makes them in that blocky style I've seen in vids of Russian fighters. btw, it is the same thing as hitting Left Win Key+F1 to turn off the head movement. The mod just sets the default to off and is a matter of personal preference.

funkee Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I also use the "cockpit mouse and trackIR" fix. This prevents the mouse from controlling your view inside the cockpit - without it the mouse view "fights" the trackIR and you get motion glitches. Very annoying. Try Left Alt + C :) (function added in patch 1.01) A new cockpit view control mode has been added, which combines the mouse look and mouse click modes. The following three view modes are cycled through with the key combination [LALT+C]: 1. Standard click mode with no view control 2. Combined mode with view control and clicking enabled 3. Standard view mode with no clicking [sIGPIC]http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/6720/avatarpolishairforce.png[/sIGPIC] system specs: mobo: Gigabyte GA-P35DS4 rev 2.1, CPU: Intel C2D E8400@4GHz, GPU: Nvidia 8800GTS 512, RAM: Kingston HyperX 4x 1GB 1066MHz Dual Channel, HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F1 640 GB x2, sound: Realtek Azalia ALC889A + SB Audigy + Dolby Digital/DTS external encoder/tuner, display: Asus VW222U 22', case: Raidmax Smilodon, headphones: Sennheiser HD650, stick: Saitek Cyborg Evo, Track IR4 Pro + TrackClip Pro, O/S: Windows 7/Vista x64
Woots Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Try Left Alt + C :) (function added in patch 1.01) That doesn't stop the motion glitches. LALT + C simply cycles thru the three modes, two of which enable view control with the mouse! Basically, when using trackIR, you NEVER want the mouse to control view inside the cockpit or it fights with trackIR. The "cockpit mouse and trackIR fix" mod does that. See http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=774537&postcount=9 Even with the "cockpit mouse and trackIR fix" mod, I still use LAlt + C to get a clickable cockpit with a "+", then LAlt + C (twice) to remove the "+" when I'm done. Using the mod allows you to cycle thru the three modes with view control always disabled. It would be great if the "+" would go away on it's own after say 5 sec of non-use. Then I wouldn't need LALT + C at all, the "+" would automatically appear when I moved the mouse and disappear automatically on it's own. Edited February 10, 2010 by Woots [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
