Ozz13 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 5 years ago I did cold starts and knew everything. A divorce later and no time to get into the sim.. I'm back and starting at ground zero (The OMG remark in my subject). I was hoping some brain memory would pop back all my knowledge but.. no. Oh wells.. enjoying being back in the seat. Also.. got my Warthog HOTAS on Monday.. wow. Any regret I had spending the extra cash flew out the window when I hooked it up. Any recruiting (what do you call it in this sim? clans/airwings/fighter groups) recruiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra99 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Let me explain... ...? No. To long. Let me sum up. A-10C is still great. Don't forget Ricardo HORSE OF WAR cockpit. Caucases looks amazing following scenery overhaul... Nevada Maps is a ball but download 476th map and range objects... Normandy map is pretty to fly over... Persian Gulf map is going to be amazing along with FA-18. There. All caught up.

Ozz13 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Thanks for that info Sierra. I know the game has moved on and evolved since I've been gone but wasn't sure in what way. I'll take a look at those things you pointed out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozz13 Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Get an Oculus Rift. I do have one but I haven't tried it out in the game yet. Does it create much motion sickness? I'm pretty resilient to it but EVE: Valkyrie made me sweat. I'll probably go up in a simple craft tomorrow and check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David OC Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) It will take a little to get used to it, take your time to get your Flying VR legs, do short stints of 10 minutes. Once you get them it's all good, loops and all, it just can take time.;) Just hit the VR preset in the graphics options menu before anything, otherwise you will have a real bad experience in VR (High settings VR lag), tweak as you go, many threads here with recommended settings. There are other VR options under the VR tab, things like use mouse. If this is off you need to bind the mouse left click / right click to you hotas etc. This will enable you to click cockpit buttons by looking at them. I normally use the mouse tho. Also set a VR recenter button on the hotas, there is a separate menu in DCS. This is also the menu to bind right and left mouse buttons if needed. How good is it when you crash for the first time.....It's like, this is going to hurt a little....:cry: - Edited May 12, 2018 by David OC i7-7700K OC @ 5Ghz | ASUS IX Hero MB | ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX | 32GB Corsair 3000Mhz | Corsair H100i V2 Radiator | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500G SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD | Corsair HX850i Platinum 850W | Oculus Rift | ASUS PG278Q 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, G-SYNC, 144Hz, 1ms | VKB Gunfighter Pro Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Download PDF Tutorial guides to help get up to speed with aircraft quickly and also great for taking a good look at the aircraft available for DCS before purchasing.

Greyman Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 it's from the downloads section and, for VR, it makes the cockpit labels easier to read. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1562558/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
