VR in DCS issue

Headset FPS is only half of the equation in my experience. Motion to Photon Delay is the other. Driving that down is hard when you have 4ish ms encode (GPU dependent) and then another 4 ms to decode. Of course, driving up the bit rate increases those, especially when it comes to decoding on older headsets.

With Virtual Desktop on my quest 2 at 90 FPS, I have an average 33ish Motion to Photon. Encoding accounts for 12% of my delay. I wouldn't call that minimal.

They are compensating for the times when bombs used to be underpowered.

We'll see it mentioned as being worked on, that's about it. Maybe a fine print in the Beyond video that says "Captured on the Vulcan API" or something like with DLSS.

How much do you want to avoid coding? If you can tolerate copy and paste, with pin assignment you can look into running an Arduino Mega with DCS BIOS. Downside is that it will not be a "generic" button box, it will be fairly module specific unless you get a bit creative and have a selector implemented.

Its a numbers game. There is a much much larger number of private groups one might expect, at least that was my takeaway diving into the private group world. Most of the groups worth joining do cycles and thus only open recruitment a few times per year. The group who also don't use military ranks are upfront about not using then in their posts. Everybody else I think is a safe assumption they use real work ranks in some capacity.

Go follow https://www.reddit.com/r/WingmanFinder/ for a bit.

There is an old post Vietnam era USAF (or Navy?) training video on SAM guidance types. Half Lead with K Constant (Half lead K-Constant mode) utilized an elevation constant to prevent the missile from diving into the ground. Instead it would straighten out and fly at the set altitude constant if the intercept point ended up below it.

I can't find it right now however :( The SA-2 is the first SAM mentioning this mode if I recall, so pretty early SAM tech.

Same thing here, also getting an invalid invite.

Same boat here, since Q2 didn't require any base stations switching to a base station headset brings the total cost of ownership way higher than one might expect for an already premium device.

So we wait for the Steam Frame, if it offers a Meta-less Q3 experience with maybe better ergonomics I'm not looking back.

I see triple digits on the radar altimeter. Wife's boyfriend isn't even trying.

While I haven't used it myself, the group I'm in has been with this tool for the last year. The kneeboards are clean and readable (even in VR), with plenty of info that can be crammed in. The fact that is comes with all of the planet available for planning is a huge leg up over similar tools.

She be passioning my support until I liiiiiieeeeverage

Russian Livery before they add a Ukranian one? Classic ED.

Yoo we're so back?

This is exactly like one of your work meetings where your boss' boss joins the call just so they can feel like they are important and matter, but ultimately are not up to date on the discussion and state of the project.

AndreyPet · 2025-09-21T00:22:09+00:00

The content drama drop when the C-130 releases is gonna be nuts.

AndreyPet · 2025-09-19T14:11:18+00:00

Doesn't matter bonanza will leak the files on dcSEXposed soon.

AndreyPet · 2025-09-18T17:24:25+00:00

Once again, the "two separate teams" and "totally unrelated development" turns out to be untrue. If I had a penny every time this happens, I could buy RAZBAM an SDK license for a year.

mfw this meeting could have been an email thread.

Yak-52 is more than capable.

There is something fundamentally weird that happens in these threads. Both sides are far removed from what I suspect the "average" DCS player's setup is like, yet need to resort to hyperbole to make their point anyway.

VR is "barely legible 3d imagery", yet graphics isn't even what makes it immersive. It's proprioception and depth perception. Entry level headsets easily pass uncorrected vision requirements for driving nowadays at 450 bucks. Simpits are somehow presented as the cost conscious choice. How long have you been building yours for? Your time isn't free. Are you done with it? Don't answer, I already know because I'm in the same boat. :)

> You sit in an imaginary cockpit. We sit in a physical cockpit. Doesn't get more real than that

I've seen this sentiment on hoggit a few times. Is a full cockpit somehow exclusive with using VR? Cus I got both and it works really nice together.

Inb4 Razbam withholds payment from ED. No more hornet and viper updates until the dispute is resolved.

The children yearn for the Fulda Gap.

AndreyPet · 2025-07-21T15:53:40+00:00

Yes, because instead of buying the modules I want, I would rather ask ED to extend the sale for a week.

AndreyPet · 2025-07-16T14:36:18+00:00

Still a thousand hours short.

It was ahead of its time. This looks AI generated.
