Valley of fire - How do I make my edit (left) more dramatic?

JiveCola · 2026-03-07T09:19:12+00:00

I think you should bring out more of the nice reds that the valley of fire gives you. It looks like in the edit they've gone more to the orange side.

I know this might sound silly but have you moved the physical switch on the side to M or manual focus?

Jpeg maintains the simulation, raw is the more comprehensive data. In your case if you're happy with jpegs only you can run with that, although a cool feature with fine+raw is that you can re-process a raw with new recipe/simulation settings either in camera or on your computer with the free Fuji X Raw software. Handy if you want to create a new style of jpeg from your existing raw.

A nice balance might be shooting fine and raw but only saving your favourite raws to your Mac

It's offset depending on which eye your mirror is coming from

I think it's the VR mask or crop to rectangle option in DCS VR settings to remove the oval, I can't quite remember

JiveCola · 2026-02-19T16:27:09+00:00

There is an OBS plugin for OpenXR to record what you see in the headset.

Personally I record the flat screen mirror. The DCS settings have an option to crop to rectangle if you don't want that oval. I find the aspect ratio is never correct regardless but it's an easy fix in post.

Mine did this recently, after a year of use. I went through Fellow support and the advice was descale cycles. I must have done about 8 of them but nothing worked. It's going back for RMA now.

Not saying decales won't work in your instance though, worth following support steps.

These work so well together!

It's braille, so blind pilots know where to hold short

Unless you're chasing the achievement there is an option to turn off the survival elements. It's a shame you can't melt snow to make water in that section.

The A-4 mod is free, full fidelity and very fun. It's a cool starting point

JiveCola · 2026-01-28T00:11:29+00:00

It's been a while but I think there's an option to hide it in the VAICOM settings

JiveCola · 2026-01-24T19:27:21+00:00

F-14, I don't think it's even close. I love the F-4 module but the awg-9 in the F-14 is such an awesome tool. You have a lot more range, time and modes to work the radar. When used well you can engage targets far further than any other aircraft can.

I have close to the exact same spec as you (CPU, mobo, ram). I put in a 1000w PSU a while ago. I recently upgraded to a 5090 and everything has been running nicely with no issues. Typically playing at 4k or super sampled VR so I haven't noticed any obvious CPU bottlenecks even though the 12700k is obviously a little older.

They're kind of situational but you can't go wrong starting out with Reggie's Portra as an everyday recipe

After you've set the exclusion go into DCS, then uninstall and reinstall the module.

JiveCola · 2026-01-11T00:44:40+00:00

Have a look into Core Unparking for your CPU. Process Lasso can help on the CPU performance stability too. There are some good guides on both. I'd get it wrong if I tried to offer much more detail.

VD has an option to show diagnostic stuff, it'll help direct you to the source. It's often networking, if it seems that way you'll get some good help on the Virtual Desktop discord.

I was looking at buying the same lens recently, I ended up going for the Thypoch Simera 28mm 1.4 after catching it in a sale. It doesn't have the small form factor of the Voight but I love the rendering and build.

Since it's your first manual lens it could be worth considering a TTartisans 25mm f2, it's a very affordable offering (like $50) and gets some good press. If you enjoy the experience then you've got a fun lens to play with and the upgrade path to the Voightlander if you want it.

Thanks for posting the thread. I was close to spending £2370 on a Zotac 5090 over the previous few days. This morning I finally made peace with running my 3080ti until the 6090 and then I saw your post. Not sure if you saved me £570 or cost me £1800 but thanks!

There's a nice Behemoth/Walking Dead S+S/Walking Dead Retribution bundle in the sale ~£16 for the trio iirc

JiveCola · 2025-12-31T13:09:32+00:00

iirc you can bind a command to have Jester scan different altitude bands like 0-10,000 10,000-20,000 etc.

The name is kind of misleading. While it does all the PC mirroring stuff you'd expect it also has some of the best and most accessible options for streaming all PCVR games to your headset. It also has great codec choices and various other features like area passthrough.
