Man, SteamVR being the best OpenXR runtime for a Q3 with a NVidia GPU would be a new one for me. I haven't tried SteamVR in well over a year because of how poorly it performed back then and how much overhead is associated with running it. Can anyone else corroborate this or is this unique for @Buzzer1977?

I was under the impression that you didn’t need to enter things like the target’s altitude into the bonbing table for dice toss. I’ve found in practice that if I don’t, the bombs go all over the place.

There are multiple threads on this, most with conflicting information, and no seeming consensus on what works/doesn’t work. I’ve been using the “hope for the best” method. It’s kind of frustrating. If you want to get super-confused, breeze through the pinned thread titled something to the effect of “Klarsnow’s AGM-45 Guide”.

There’s a button on the left side of the front seat radio control panel labeled “comm cmd” that toggles control from the front to rear seat and back. I had the same question and had to watch Reflected’s radio video to find the answer. If the light on the panel is green, you have control, otherwise Jester does.

Clearly having server issues... download is barely moving.

Monthly bump. ED posted upon removal of the Razbam modules from sale that the modules would be maintained. I’m hesitant to believe this since this once worked but has been hanging out for months broken with no response.

Had the same thought. Another month goes by with no updates to the CH-47.

Well, I made the leap and put DCS on a dedicated 4TB SSD. Ugh.

Is there anything that reflects the weight of each cargo item and the total weight of the cargo as currently packed, i.e. if filling a container, what does the container weigh with the currently selected items?

Is this fixed? Will It be fixed?

This. Somehow it seems many seem to conflate "they are smaller" with "they should be paid no matter what." If there was a breach of contract, size likely doesn't mean anything. For those who are about to chime in asking "how do you know Razbam breached contract?", save your breath. You could just as easily ask how you know they didn't.

Man, performance on this one is bad. I have a 4090, 7950x, 64G DDR5, and VR in the Chinook is still nearly pointless. I see they were working on it in September. Still working on it?

When you say “optimizing windows 11”, to what are you referring? Genuinely don’t know if my Win 11 is optimized or not.

I just flew the 47 for the first time in a bit. If the CD REL trim command is working, I can’t tell. It seems to have no effect. Very annoying.

Really nice job on the tribute! I'm a grown man, private pilot, real-life aircraft owner, and DCS enthusiast, and I owe much of it to the inspiration from Top Gun. Val Kilmer was a legend, and is gone far too soon.

Just as a quick note, in your example you say that 90 knots equates to roughly less than 80 mph... you have that backwards. 90 knots is roughly 104 mph, and 80 mph is roughly 70 knots.

I once struggled with this... make sure you don't have your weapons-mode switch either aft or forward. If you are cueing a sidewinder or amraam with your control assignments, you won't be able to change master modes. Not a bug, but as intended.

This. SteamVR is a dealbreaker for me.

I had the same issue tonight. Will this be fixed or no?

Giving this the monthly bump...

Yeah, great… however @NineLinesaid he was looking in to this. Curious what he found…

Correct, looks like you’re getting it figured out. Unfortunately the settings in Oculus Debug Tool are not “sticky”, i.e. you’ll have to enter them each session. For the bitrate, you can run up to 960. If you want to try this, you have to type “960” into an app like notepad, copy the 960, and paste it in. It is a workaround. The Debug Tool won’t let you type a number that high directly in, but will let you copy it. I do run 960, although any benefit over 500 is pretty negligible, if perceptible at all.

I’m not worthy of being hired, but I have basically your system and I’m glad to share my settings. I have a Q3, a 7950X, a 4090, and 64G of DDR5. I generally use the link cable, but sometimes I use Virtual Desktop. More on that in a minute. When using the link cable: - fire up the Meta app o your desktop and make sure the Q3 PD is set to 1.0 and 72hz. - fire up Oculus Debug Tool; set PD to 1.8, turn off ASW (disabled), set bitrate to 500. - in DCS, use DLSS quality, high textures and high terrain textures, medium water, high visibility distance, medium shadows, medium clouds, and play with the other settings to your liking. See how it looks, monitor and adjust. If you want a much simpler experience, you’ll need a dedicated router, download the Virtual Desktop streamer app, and Virtual Desktop. With your rig, you can then pick the H264 codec, run it at about 300 bitrate, set it at “godlike”, and enjoy. Hope it helps. If you have questions, I’m glad to answer.

This is very accurate. The Pimax Reddit channel looks like a quality assurance forum. It’s basically just a page of people complaining that their Pimax headsets don’t work, have bad lenses, or generally suck. Understand that I say this as someone REALLY WANTING the Pimax product to be the answer to PCVR for flight sims. It would be incredible to have a high quality, high performance, display-port-driven option for PCVR, but the Pimax falls well short.

I know I probably sound like a broken record, but I’d advise against Pimax if you have experience with a Quest. I got very used to a huge sweet spot with the Quest, and very little (if any) chromatic aberration. I’ve also found all of the Quest models to be comfortable and generally work with my head shape and size. The Pimax, on the other hand, is plagued by quality issues (many receive multiple sets of lenses before getting any that are satisfactory), is very, very uncomfortable, and has a tiny sweet spot with a ton of chromatic aberration. Just one person’s opinion. I honestly don’t believe the is any comparison.
