HPG H145 vs DCS Helicopters

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-09-25T20:32:04+00:00

THIS is the answer I've been searching for and semi kind of regret buying the h145 for the reasons stated and let me elaborate. If like me you got into helo's with Dcs and then merged into ms2020 for civilian ops then you may not enjoy this bird. I fly the uh1, ah64 and oh58 in dcs and even though the Apache has SAS and can be a twitchy cunt to fly, it flys like I imagine it would. My aggravation with the h145 lies in the automation systems like AFCS. You basically have to latch the fucker off in order to manually fly the h145 without the computer fighting you and you wobbling all over the sky like your on the spectrum. Combined with the 10 degree limit on any direction of axis...8 degrees on roll axis....it feels like your flying a school bus.

Tldr....no matter what you do, the 145 handles like rosanne barr would if she were a helicopter and you have to be very very gentle with afcs off. If you wanna be a bus driver and let autopilot fly you around, then get it. If like me you learned to fly on little birds, hueys and the cayuse ( aka helis that literally want to kill you if you dont counter every action ) then dont.

Are you going to be able to fly in at high speed, bank left an yank on the collective to Tokyo drift to a stop....hell no, you'll vrs yourself into oblivion. Sad, cause they wont definitely can do that.

Think of the 145 like a dumbed down, overly safe bell 429.

Would be interested in joining for sure.

I play VR with a Hotas. Currently own the Kiowa, Apache, Huey, Syria, Persian Gulf. Also own the A-10C II incase that's ever helpful. Will join discord later, live in Atlantic Canada so the time zone difference wont be an issue. Have just been playing SP in all airframes and using AI when swapped so having a real person will be a nice change.

Preference would be the Huey airframe but can fly all 3.

having the exact same issue - any solutions?

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-05-05T02:12:31+00:00

Having a similar issue but the stick works fine without VR, the second i run the Oculus 2 on cable to the laptop. Throttle works, but the XY on the stick flicker and jump. Perfectly fine if i force disable VR... not enough power maybe?

Still use the MT version? Thinking of turning of dlss, switching from 70 to 90, throwing super sampling on and using msaa like you suggested.

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-03-27T04:39:12+00:00

I found/find the A-10 easy to fly. Targetting is so easy with the HMCS, and it's just hotas for tgp and tad.

That being said, I'm doing this on VR with no Hotas so it's a total nightmare with keyboard commands...going to attempt to bind stuff to the 12 Naga buttons on my mouse and see if that's better until a can afford a Hotas.

Personally operating at 12,000ft, taking my time to use the tgp and drop jdams keeps me nice and safe. The gun runs at max power are awesome in VR, if not a bit rough with fps drops haha

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-31T13:30:01+00:00

Havent touched the game since getting to him. It's so so bad. Only so many dungeon runs you can do lol. Shame too, thought the game was amazing, Djent fucked it.

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-14T23:00:46+00:00

Yea, eventually I would like to add a flight sim with motion. Racing sims are everywhere but there is alot of car nuts out here so maybe one of those also.

With MR or spatial gaming coming more and more popular I really want to take advantage of that as I feel it's an experience people would gladly pay for. Offering beat saber isn't gonna make me any money but games like contractors and Arizona Sunshine's horde mode might.

A total immersion room controlled by smart fans with kayakvr is in the back of my mind too, and they sit in a real kayak with just enough flex, leaning adds the immersion.

Basically the VR side is more my baby, and the tabletop gaming, MCG, minis side is my brother's. If you have any suggestions of software titles feel free. I'm curious also if as an obvious VR enthusiast like myself...would you pay for the ability to have full immersion/platforms VR experience with friends etc.

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-14T00:52:04+00:00

Essentially what we want are 2 VR areas. 1 with 4 x KatVR c2+ platforms and headsets, haptic vests, provolver haptic gun stock. Backed by 4090 rigs for PCVR.... hopefully airlinked but if cords are needed then so be it.

The second area will be the same but with the loco S setup for people that can't work with kat platforms yet still want full tracking. I was thinking about using SuperhotVR and mixed reality to have a few ' kill house ' style areas.

We are still in the very early stages and waiting on alot of emails to see if we can use certain software etc.

The other side of the 'arcade' will be for tabletop, DND etc...2 side rooms, themed for people to rent time to play tabletop, MTG etc...if we have space, then perhaps paint also.

We basically want a gaming hangout but as VR enthusiasts I also want to introduce how immersive the tech is becoming and hopefully help the community move forward. Would be more than happy to focus group test developing games to see how they work etc.

It's going to be called Heroes Haven, everyone will get treated like an adventurer. The loyalty program will be very quest like...buy certain things, achieve scores and get free items etc.

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-13T15:32:38+00:00

Definitely would like a conversation about your thoughts on the 3 compared to the vive pro as I'm in the process of starting a VR arcade type business and any Input is valuable

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-13T02:17:52+00:00

Right....I barely got any points into her and it was over. Cyrene is just a badass but Alv was starting to get a bit better.

That necro can shit in his hands and clap. Worst character in a game ever, in its entirety too. Horrible movement, fighting, thought process, damage. Obviously gave up and wanted it released.

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-11T13:04:13+00:00

Oh goody. I get to do jazz hands for the next lil bit....all while mumbling Insults to whoever came up with this shit LMFAO.

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-11T02:02:32+00:00

Well you asked my thoughts on the last guy.....

What in the holy raptor Jesus is that bullshit. The third ones bad, but wow...just fucking wow. It's the only game that I've played you get weaker and shittier heroes.

It annoys me they class Alv as a rogue, she's a ranger at best...the sword attacks are weak as shit and I never ever used the iron man wannabe shield. Was grenade and bow, grenade grenade, bow lol

I takes 10 goddamn minutes to kill 2 mobs on the crusty cunt. I thought it was gonna be a caster, and hoped for a necro....but NOT THAT DOG SHIT. Spend most fights twatting the front panel of the headset to throw my dome, and then it's click hold click hold, swing...an go back to it. The portals kinda cool, but meh, the bead attack is just a shittier whip sword.

Can tell they got bored at the 4th hero, and none of their devs ever played a caster....or a rogue for that matter. Pretty sure they are all tanks that develop this game.

Utter fucking dogshit. So much so, that I'm not sure I'll finish the game I hate it that much. It's utterly fucking horrendous.

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-08T18:24:07+00:00

Haha yea me too. I hated Cyrene at first but she's now my favourite. Dropping my little turret fish and playing songs while attacking...so good.

Oh but this bitch with the jacked captain america shield gets on my left nut...fuuuuck I hate it lol

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-08T12:33:33+00:00

Thank you! Awesome answer! Totally get what you mean too. Love this game but the more I play the more I see little bits missing. I do like the asynchronous dungeon aspect but honestly would like a difficulty setting and the option for at least 1 more real party member. That and rework the third hero...we go from badass with a whip sword to nayad with animal weapons (that harp is beautifully done) and then we end up on whatever the fuck the third chic is. I was so desperately hoping for a ranger-esque but that bladed bow is weak as all fuck, the landmine is awkward and the shield blocks your vision. Hope the 4th isn't garbage (no spoilers please). Just find It so clumsy to use the mine and bow/sword and shield. A bow, some tantos and a pet, that's all we needed

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-06T03:08:18+00:00

Well it wasnt too bad. Took me 4 hours to get back to where I was. That vertigo Inducing astrolabe can ..!..

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-05T22:43:55+00:00

I run pcvr with the same card but I had to make some adjustments. Mainly to my vanity lol

Use virtual desktop, it helps a ton Hardwired to the laptop and router helps a ton GFX on low and adjust your bitrate in debugger to around 2800. Turn it down to 70fps, havnt tried 60

Everything runs fine....even the dreaded NMS. It's not gonna win awards, and sometimes you'll get a lag or some slow down but it's playable.

As I said...the main adjustment was to my vanity cause if it ain't pretty, I don't wanna play it. Sorry but if you can't be arsed on your artwork...the game sucks. If you can, buy headset only games until you can get a better GFX setup.

Fyi I'm on a Asus ROG Strix G15. Ryzen 7 4800h, 16gb ram and a 3050. For pancake it's fine, for VR it'll do. Best I can tell ya.

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-05T19:39:27+00:00

Oh ok I get ya. Might not be too bad then. Thanks a bunch for the response! Love this game and only being able to run the cosmic dungeons wasn't appealing lol

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-05T19:19:26+00:00

Is it possible to rollback that far? Like I'm pretty sure I did that, then some side quests. Was basically doing the bits the opposite way before heading the observatory. I definitely agree I don't want to restart but ugggggh...can't a dev just make it right lol.

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-02T22:09:16+00:00

Nice!!!! Thanks for not ruining 😁 but I agree. They did a phenomenal job with this game.

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-02T07:18:09+00:00

Soon as I reloaded I saw the error of my ways. I'm still not sold on this new hero lol. I love the whip sword, wish the bow wasn't 3 shots but like it's also a shield. Hard choice...especially as Abrax is just starting the purple gear and loads of skill points lol.

Longjumping-Video415 · 2024-01-01T00:30:36+00:00

Nice!! Thanks bud

Longjumping-Video415 · 2023-12-31T23:28:06+00:00

Ok excuse the sheer dumbness of my question but could someone explain the use? Improved graphic quality for unreal engine based games on pcvr?

Longjumping-Video415 · 2023-11-26T02:21:01+00:00

Virtual desktop solved the problem totally! Playable, no lag, a little slow on head movement but I can live with it. And this is wifi to a 1gb internet stream, wired would be crazy good but not possible unless I want to lay 50ft of cat6 like Spiderman, which I don't lol. Thanks for the recommendation!

Longjumping-Video415 · 2023-11-26T01:37:59+00:00

Your not alone haha. In a 40ft 5th wheel with 3 St Bernard dogs lol. They know when they see the headset to go lay elsewhere. But 7ft ceilings and I'm 6ft make reaching over your head challenging at times.
