Whistler_RIO

This is a great idea and tool. thanks for sharing. I dont know if enough people understand the API stack and how important it is to manage it, especially when tweaking settings at different levels.

Just wanted to give feedback and say that I have run the entire campaign with the old voices and now am about halfway through with the new voices and RIO events, and Im really impressed! The new audio sounds great and has not thrown a single bug issue at me yet. Great job and thanks for supporting the product for us! But dont rest on your laurels! Lets get another campaign soon!

i have the latest v56 and am on the beta program. i still see the issue at night. however, i found out that some of my squadron mates who are on other headset, said they were having the same issue. its possible that this is a DCS OpenXR bug and not oculus. (also note that all other PCVR games seem fine). For now, im flying TrackIR for night ops. i forgot how much faster the sim runs in 2D! 144fps! its kind of a nice break

all lights are extinguished on a carrier at night in deep-water operations. this is to keep from being seen from space/altitude/land and giving away position. you turn on your lights as a replacement for the salute just before you are launched off the boat. btw there is nothing complex about Dim vs Bright. bright is for daytime. dim is for nighttime.

im having the same issue at night in my Quest Pro. it must be the local dimming

Just a headsup and thanks to Mbuccia , but a new revision for this was released today. v1.0.1 - works just as well for me as before. https://github.com/mbucchia/Quad-Views-Foveated/releases/tag/1.0.1

Well now that we can just seamlessly jump into the backseat while flying, even in multiplayer, its become standard for advanced tomcat pilots to get to know and use the RIO seat to sort and lockup targets. you should check out a good naval squadron like CSG-8. they give you the training and weekly missions that will get you really good at either seat of the tomcat. https://www.vcsg8.com

just want to say that I have a Quest Pro and get a really nice performance out of it in DCS, with this this open-faced headset design that really lends itself to long missions and the need to peak down and see my flight panels or beverage. there is a specific DCS optimized foveated-rendering utility (made by the creator of OpenXR Toolkit Companion app) that uses the eye-tracking built into the Pro and really delivers some great framerates at high detail levels. https://github.com/mbucchia/Meta-Foveated

I was bothered by the new VAP file thing, but now im glad i wiped it out and re-imported my custom stuff. voice-attack has an ingenious import UI that identifies overwrites and lets you just pluck out the custom commands. so you just export your old profile, and then reimport it on a fresh VAP. I just completely reinstalled the MSI and every setting was exactly like i left it before except my aliases (of which i only have about 4) which had to be replaced and then 'finish' copy/pasted into the VAP. too me an hour, and its working really well now. maybe i needed it after so many years. one thing to remember is how AIRIO and kneeboard commands were once payware upgrades. they were not included in the base VAP until you paid for the upgrade and then added them yourself. i think this standardizes the Tacan and Radio constructors for Jester, and the Kneeboard commands.

Thanks for looking into it for us, HF! Man i just wanted to add that it is NOT EASY, especially these swappable-seat/multi-model profiles (like tomcat or apache or even MirageF1 with its two models from a single profile). i tried to help this effort a few months ago and build a Mirage profile and after 4 weeks felt like i still was barely through one half. HomeFries has the experience and ergonomics-patterns afer all these years and can do this faster than anybody!

ya i also have weird inconsistencies with this issue. sometimes i have blacked-out TCS for the first half of a long mission and then all of a sudden its fine! but usually it doesnt work. i also am running MT in VR

This is a really annoying bug since the introduction of auto-lantirn. it drives me nuts. thanks for posting about it.

Ya sure. that makes sense. once we commit to the inbound contacts , i have to say that you make it work so well with the 3&4 element breaking off 40degrees and our splitting of the hostiles just works so well! Its really compelling and one of the best scripted campaign missions i have ever seen (and ive flown them all really.) I guess maybe what you are saying is that you cannot control the hostile Fishbeds from climbing to 14k at the merge? that is somewhat smart of them to do really! #AI RE: startup wing damage - the damage seems to not affect the aircraft even though you get the messaging saying youve taken damage. i think i saw that this was a recent fix they made was to just have spawning aircraft be immortal while in coldstart? i think i recall that.

paco makes no sense in this mission. when intercepting he comes to the merge at 9k while the bandits merge at 14k. He doesnt even use his heater. i really like the formup and formation while waiting to push. that all plays out really nicely. also the tomcat on the right side of us when starting the mission has his wings open and damages your aircraft.

youre saying that deep water operations take place without broadcasting TACAN from the carrier (or one of its escort ships)? in the 90s before GPS? So how are they doing their CAT3 recovery without TACAN or ICLS when deployed in that era? im fascinated to find out
