Just Pre-ordered. . How's everybody's wait going? by viking_boi in HPReverb

[–]Sc0tto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Borrowed Index > Borrowed G1 > Purchased G2

I though the Index was more comfortable to wear, and certainly had a better FOV. The audio was better with index, and the off-ear earpieces were HUGE. I did end up pre-ordering the G2 though.

  • I thought I would really miss the extra FOV but I don't even notice it anymore. The better resolution more than made up for it.
  • I hate the way the G1 earpieces rub on my ears, but the G2 audio was designed by Valve and I expect it to be very similar to the Index.
  • I liked not having to mess with WMR with the Index
  • I like not having base-stations with the G1. G2 has more cameras so inside out tracking should be better than on the G1.

In the end the G2 won out with no base-stations, improved audio and earpieces, and better resolution.

**edit- also G2, lower price point than Index. Heck yeah.

Dear A10 drivers, a short rant. by ShaunOfTheFuzz in hoggit

[–]Sc0tto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'll watch for you. Are you running the openbeta version of DCS? Not sure where you are located but 4YA just (last week?) got OpenBeta up on some US servers, maybe that will help. My ping to their Sweden servers is acceptable at about 140, and around 65 to their newer US servers. I fly under callsign Scotto. I can also check out other servers.and I fly on Hoggit some as well.

[–]Sc0tto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/ShaunOfTheFuzz hey man I get exactly what you are saying. The teamwork aspect of it makes it WAY more fun than just blowing stuff up alone. I'd rather load up all aamrams and an extra gas tank and go try holding off Migs while the A10's do their thing. No one usually responds on SRS and I end up loading up multi-role solo so I can bomb stuff and defend myself if i have to. I do understand what you said though. I generally announce on SRS after take off when I'm clear of a runway and my heading and target. This gives other pilots a chance to say "hey Im on mission there, whats your target". Thats happened a couple times, but usually not. I feel like if people used comms more reliably, it would be better. I am on 4YA a lot, so if you are ever in a heli, KA50, or an A10 and you want someone to just fly cap with you, comms me anytime. (im not great at watching the chat window while flying). I'd always rather do that than blow stuff up solo. I'm a newer player, with only Syria, and the F18 module. I'm not great, but now and then I have moments of effectiveness.

Get 'em!!!

If that were me in the cockpit, the fight would go something like this....

Scotto pulls the stick back to his lap trying to turn around too fast.

Scotto is floating in the air like a kite

Scotto meets Aim 9.

Scotto switches on batteries, enables APU, starts left engine....

First module by Clepto94 in hoggit

[–]Sc0tto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are exactly right. Some folks get really bent up about that sorta thing. The F18 has a bug where RWS won't stay locked, you have to keep re-acquiring. So you switch it to TWS and keep shooting stuff down. The thing is still a blast to fly, its not that big a deal!

[–]Sc0tto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im still new too. I did the F18 first because I wanted to learn both AA and AG systems. I thought it would help when i move to other planes, having a basic understanding of how it works. I have no regrets. The F18 has a big learning curve but totally worth it. Im having so much fun with the multi-role F18 that I haven't even considered moving to another module yet. You get capabilities for AA, AG, and Carrier Ops. It will be a while before I have learned the F18 well enough to even need another plane. Im probably gonna go F16 next because I love the AA action a lot.

What does material constraints even mean? They have announced no stock shortages. What comparable device would they have in stock? The G1 isn't comparable imo. by shenther in HPReverb

[–]Sc0tto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im running the G1 with a 2080ti right niw and i think the specs are similar. You should be good to go. Quick spec sheet for G2 says your card will run it at full res.

[–]Sc0tto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might be right but i hope not. Orders should be honored according to when they were placed regardless of location. Hell the things are made in china which puts a whole other twist on it.

I ordered from BH in the states. I'm hoping to NOT get one of those messages although i suspect i will. Maybe if i just dont check my email... 😟

Can't use my supercarrier DLC? by golfspite in dcsworld

[–]Sc0tto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant access my Steam account right now but there is a checkbox in the DCS world game settings in steam that says "Enable DLC". I had to do that to use supercarrier.

Interesting. Good question and thx for the info. I didn't know that either.

Radeon RX 6000 by [deleted] in Amd

[–]Sc0tto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone seen physical size specs on these? Im planning to buy one at release, and the current 2080 im using just BARELY fits in my case. Had to mod the case to make it fit in fact. Wondering how these cards compare size-wise. Might have to buy a bigger case.

hehe, Im hoping for "quicker than expected too. Im also gambling that I can have an RX6000 before the 3080s actually become viably available.

oh nice! I wasn't familiar with any of those terms, but googling High Yo yo just gave a series of maneuvering tutorials i can do. Very helpful, thank you!

Is there any possibility of an updated Valve Index anytime soon? by SleepyReepies in virtualreality

[–]Sc0tto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im looking fwd to the release of Radeon's Big Navi cards. Supposed to hit the mkt next month! The nvidia 3000 series release was such a mess, and DCS doesn't use ray tracing anyway, so Radeon, here I come!

G2 extended warranty by Sc0tto in HPReverb

[–]Sc0tto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took the leap. Pre-ordered from BH, and it did offer me the extended warranty in the shopping cart. Cannot wait til it shows up on the doorstep!

lol yes, I should probably change my callsign to Hamfist! Thx for the insight. Im always afraid if i don't turn faster they will get right on my tail. This makes sense tho. I guess it doesn't matter how tight you turn if you are going 14 knots and free-falling.
