  1. yeah I'm too cheap to pay $69.99-79.99 for a 3rd party module. Too many broken promises and delays. If it is great etc... Can always change my mind, but I won't be hopping on the train anytime soon.
  2. well my wallet says O+ but my brain says I'll end up with the Rift S lol. So I think I'm leaning Rift S now. Also, I'm dumb re: VR. When you say for the O+, you have to use steam VR, do you mean I need to be running DCS through steam to use VR or just have a steam AP VR running? I have the stand alone DCS, NOT steam DCS.
  3. Full disclosure. I've never tried VR. Not even a friends or at a store etc... However, I am very interested in trying a set, but have some budget limits. I feel the Oddy+@$299 US or the Rift S at $399US are reasonable for my budget. I really have no great desire to play many VR titles, but I do want to try VR out in DCS as I think it would help with the immersion etc... Or talk me out of this fiasco before I begin. Computer should run it I think. 8086k@5ghz all core, 1080ti hybrid cooler @2,000mhz sustained via oc. 32gb ram at PC3200. Current monitor is a 27" 144hz 1440p setup. HOTAS is Logitech X56 stick/throttle. I may have to upgrade this as well, as I think something may be wrong with sensors in stick. Seems to always lose calibration and drift. No rudder pedals yet. Open to suggestions. Thoughts on the VR sets?
  4. Will try to make it in the server with you all some day. I'm having issues learning BFM in dogfighting etc.... Throw my stuff in a corner for months at a time b/c I get frustrated trying to learn and feel like another poster that AI is usually skewed towards super human abilities or in some other cases full retard.
  5. Nevermind. After another 20 attempts it took one. WTF
  6. it won't let me do a support ticket since I can't sign in :(. Unless I am doing something wrong
  7. I tried logging into DCS after taking a month or two off. Said my password wasn't right. Ok, maybe I forgot my password, even though it was saved in the login info. Tried to reset password via the reset link. Tried about 20 different passwords that are over 87 characters, have an upper case letter, and some numbers as well. Each time it refused to reset password saying "invalid check word". WTF
  8. yeah I have a "knock off" track ir. it works well. But I struggle with positioning myself and keeping track of enemy in dogfights. I continually lose track of the enemy and they are on my 6 like nothing. I guess I'm dense. I think I need to go back to some more basic aviation to learn the physics of how to position myself in relation to my enemy. It's overwhelming. Fun, but hard.
  9. Well update. This will be a slow painful journey lol. I can spot enemies now better. I have a "zoom" toggled onto that little "mouse/flipper" thing on my X56 hotas/throttle. With my thumb I can zoom in and release back to "normal" pretty quick. But yeah what they say about SA is super true. I have about 1% SA now lol, up from 0%. I can see where more experience will really help, knowing roughly where to look based on relevant info re: enemy position. Right now I may know they are 10 miles out at a certain heading, but I could be looking too far/ too close etc... based on low experience/SA. Anyway, thx for the tips everyone.
  10. also, make sure Xbox DVR didn't turn itself on. That will chug your computer down.
  11. If your cpu/ram are running at spec. Then I would say it's a driver issue or corrupt file. May try updating Nvidia graphic driver. Trying repair of DCS?
  12. I am new and got a friend into dcs as well. Is there a way to play co op.missions?
  13. Ps not trying to attack etc Have had motherboard bios do odd things
  14. Have you verified cpu and ram run correct? CpuZ etc. benchmark to confirm something didn’t go fubar with your setup? If computer is solid, then try repairing?
