  1. Exactly, the keyword is setting its waypoint loop as a race track instead of orbit for a single waypoint.

  2.  @sparrowlt  And when you land them aircrafts, they'll be put into hangers.

  3. True, but there's just one issue. They're all not Tomcats. TOMCATS!

  4. The last time I actually tried I was still using the CV1. I literally was completely unable to see the director lights which made it impossible.

  5. All good points, especially the VR one which basically is easy mode due to the spatial perception. Also worth trying in case of the Hornet is hitting the A/P button, but not selecting a mode. Makes the controls more granular and helps especially with non-extended sticks. Probably not a real technique, but if it's there, why not use it? XD

  6.  @Etha-xi8ei  Which is ridiculous. On my old 3570k when it still had a 970 with just 3.5GB of VRAM in it, the forest visibility range slider would do exactly nothing but change the range at which those trees pop in. Framerates were locked at the same spot regardless. If it wasn't an issue on that crate which now would totally count as a potato, it probably isn't even remotey on more recent hardware. But yes, tree size is one factor for the sense of speed. Another is FOV. Especially in pancake, many tend to fly with a FOV similar to what we can see here in the video or on Growling Sidewinder's channel - almost all the way zoomed out, cramming a 100+ degree FOV into maybe just a 30-40 degree window that is the monitor, could as well be 50 or 60 with a large one, but you basically would have to match your DCS FOV with the FOV of your monitor, which often is zooming almost all the way in to get a realistic sense of speed. In VR, it automagically always matches 1:1 due to its nature, unless you're hitting that VR zoom button for compensating the lower than reticlular resolution of the device.

  7. Those lenses rock for the exact reason you desscribed. There are headsets out there with a higher res than the Q3 or G2 (which are roughly in the same ballpark), like the Varjo Aero or the Pimax Crystal, but in a Q3, you got the sharpness all across the FOV which is way more important IMHO. With Wifi 6E and bitrates of up to 400MBit/s in wireless streaming, there isn't much left of the compression artifacts either. And it's a great headset for other VR games. Totally wouldn't mind watching Mover try some of the really good shooters out there. Definitely more immersion than playing Starfield... XD

  8. Absolutely agree, and also: Good riddance, WMR! :D

  9.  @JonBrase  They just launched another sale.

  10. Quest 3 is brilliant in that regard since those lenses have a massive sweet spot and stellar edge to edge clarity. You could literally have your IPD off by 2 or 3 mm and totally not even notice it. I've heard of people doing that on purpose to get a slightly wider FOV by setting a higher IPD than they actually have.

  11. 0:35 Heard about this on the MGS already... not great, but you gotta live with what you have, I guess. BTW since you still have the G2, you might want to consider getting either a Quest Pro or 3 as an upgrade. Main reason would be them having pancake lenses with a much bigger sweet spot and a vastly improved sharpness when you're not looking directly forward (edge to edge clarity). Quest 3 has about the same resolution as the G2 and a better processor for standalone stuff (You actually could try a few awesome VR games instead of playing Starfield :P) and way better mixed / augmented reality than the Pro while the Pro comes with Mini LED and local dimming, so you get better blacks and contrasts, almost as good as with OLED panels and eye tracking which, with OpenXR toolkit active, can make use of Dynamic Foveated Rendering which only renders the area you're looking at at full resolution and the rest at a lower one to further improve framerates. The Pro is 1200 bucks, but the Q3 can also add up if you were to take the 512GB version (not required for PCVR at all and not necessarily required for standalone either, unless you don't like uninstalling stuff for freeing up space for something new), a replacement headstrap with additial battery (acts both as a counterweight to make the thing more comfy as well as a "playtime extension") and possibly even the Pro controllers for those VR games with basically hassle-free all around tracking. I'd say getting the Q3 with the BoboVR M3 Pro and a second battery for that thing with the charging pad and a VR Cover facial interface cover set would be preferrable, especially if you might want to have a look into other VR experiences like some really great shooters such as Half-Life: Alyx. It's also exceptionally great for watching movies in a virtual theater. In either case, having at least a Wifi 5 capable router or access point in the room(s) you're going to play or sim in is highly recommended if you'd be going for wireless (which is great), but you'd get the best experience with a Wifi 6E Triband capable router like the Asus RT-AXE7800 as that can provide much higher bitrates. Alternatively you could just use Link via cable and for that you probably should get the one that VR Cover offers which is very high quality and only costs half as much as the original one from Meta. One thing particularly beneficial with Meta headsets is the fact that you can use Link/Air Link to connect with the Obulus software on your PC which comes with the Oculus Mirror. That tool has a great image stabilization feature which makes watching the VR footage on YT, Twitch and other platforms noticably more pleasant if you then take that mirror as your OBS screen source. But I digress... (it's worth it, those lenses are so much better!) XD 2:51 I'm sure both the Tomcat (TOMCATS!) and the Hornet have that modelled, but I don't know why others, especially the Viper don't. 3:06 VIPERS! 5:03 Interesting fact. Having a realistic pilot body physics model would probably make 98% of the DCS community die constantly in any kind of rate fight... XD 6:07 Without even knowing the real thing I always found that particularly strange, similar to the TDC in the Hornet that keeps returning to the top left corner on unlocking. 7:05 Nice setup! 7:17 You genuinely already got the literal Easy Mode right there with the VR headset. 7:35 See above ;) - Quest 3 then, it can do 120Hz, the Pro is limited to 90. 17:53 Down The Good Old Rate Fight Toilet Bowl :D
