wallace Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hey guys, First off I have used DCS A10C quite a bit. I am a computer guy, self build and debug etc etc... But I am new to VR. I picked up a Rift S and then upgraded the system to match, loaded the new DCS World, and purchased the F-18....ok so that is the basics. It is not a problem with the setup as I know the Rift is working... and I can see a MIG29...... BUT What do I do with it? The VR menu loads into a hanger with the aircraft but nothing comes up anywhere around me to indicate that I can do anything. I have seen a small post in one of the forums that I have been searching and saw one comment about load time, but again there is nothing on the screen to indicate that anything is happening. All of the menu and user manual discussions are about what to select in the menu and the like... Additionally, thanks for reading..... and a quick basic VR setup question. I have the Thrustmaster A10C controller system (A10 Worthog HOTAS)... how do people setup their environment to use this stuff... I guess move the border zone inwards on the RiftS anyway.... comments please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it solves your problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1Combat Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 That sounds about right... Although there are various ways that you can get a crash and end up in that hangar without a menu. That said... I've only had that happen after having been there WITH a menu, going into a mission or something and then getting kicked back to the hangar without the menu. So... Probably Num-5 on the keyboard to re-center the view. The menu is likely sitting just behind your head :).

wallace Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Fair enough I don't understand the question. What exactly is the problem? Fair enough, guess its not really a problem. Guess I meant with regards to keeping a mouse handy for clicking on the screen when looking at switches and stuff. But in reality it is a personal setup question so once I get it up and running I will be able to deal with it. As far as binding the buttons for the VR good suggestions, I will find something in the HOTAS that I can use for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallace Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks for the posts folks.... I will take a better look and try the recenter view button option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will replace that with a touchpad at some point. Also, have a look at VoiceAttack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
