You've got a railway round your garden! What gauge is that? (slinks off to bite carpet in rage of intense jealousy)

The weird world of DCS in VR No, I don't mean the ability to do standing up in the cockpit take offs. Thats an added bonus! DCS has a VR button in the settings page. Press it and all the graphics settings are drastically reduced. Result? Game looks and performs terribly. Go back in and wind up all the settings as high as you dare and in VR the game looks great and performs really well.

Thats just brilliant. I know you've built these things before for trucks and racing sims before PropNut but is this the first for flight sims?

Yeah, I saw that. Hopefully will cure that slight stuttering of the scenery progression when looking out in VR.

Whats it like flying over the carrier in VR Crash?

Holy sh#t DCS!!! OMG the cockpit!!! Just did a takeoff as wingman in my Farmer. Flight leader went to afterburner as we went down the runway. Gobsmacking.....

I mean....where do you start? Apart from getting it going I've done no fine tuning or anything. I've still got the blue ring down at my feet. It's still rough and ready. I'm still going through the 'Blade Runner' moment. I'm flying a Spitfire. The cockpit is.....just right. It's not too big - like a P47, where it seems there's room for another one standing. It's not too tight, like the FW190D. Now that really is one steel and glass coffin! I look down through the perspex at the sweep of the wings and below the trailing edge I can see the earth between racing clouds. Ahead and to my left a distant smudge is slowly resolving into a Heinkel. It gets bigger and bigger and it's round and fat. The sun twinkles on it. It's big. I slide my little Spitfire in behind it. I open fire and big chunks start to fall off. Lots of smoke just above my mirror. I sit inside my cockpit and my aircraft is alive. I fire again and can't see too much now because of the smoke coming out of it but yes, it's on fire. Really on fire. This big, fat aeroplane which I'm alongside of is on fire and the crew are crawling out and their chutes are opening. The tail is riddled by bullet holes. I have to jink out of the way as the Heinkel drops a wing and lurches towards me. It goes under me and I loose it. It's gone. I hurt something in my neck looking for it. I've managed to put my 'plane in a steep dive. The ground starts to come up. No, I really don't want to do that. I REALLY don't want to do that! I feel some....unease, as the the ground comes rapidly up into my face. And it's over and I think I'll take this thing off...... I'm sweating.

Oh my giddy aunt!

Works a treat for me btw

FT; Please find attached new config. for the latest version (v. 10) Vander mission generator. Enables all planes on all maps with all targets selectable! coop config.txt

Rift by Friday apparently.?

OK, got it. Was having Notepad confusion I've made a config with ALL the planes selectable if it helps SYN coop generator config version 8.zip

FT; I still don't understand how to make all the planes available. Vander says it's done in the config file which I do understand. I open it and paste in the planes description he added? When I do I still don't get a list of all the planes to select in the generator drop down boxes. Obviously, I'm doing something wrong but....... Any ideas?

Version eight of this great little tool out now, with the ability to select all the planes and have spawning on runway! https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/43276-coop-mission-generator/

Thanks to bunging in a bloody great, new graphics card I have now discovered I have a new sim on my hard drive called DCS. It's beautiful! The DCS I had before was infact some poor imitation. @Fen; that joystick curve recommendation worked perfectly. Now looking for a TrackIr profile for this.

After some slight re-arranging of my case I have installed an RTX2070. It's one big mother of a card and everything is whizzing along splendidly at warp factor eight. As an added bonus my cpu is running around five to six degrees cooler than before too. At the moment it's on a very simple, lazy overclock to 4.1ghz. From past experience I'm sure that with a couple of hours fiddling around I'll be able to get it to 4.5ghz with similar temps. It's all plugged into my 27" screen running at 1920 x 1080. Thus I seem to have a Ferrari engine bolted to a Hillman Minx* transmission. I was therefore thing about one of these; https://www.benq.eu/en-uk/monitor/video-enjoyment/ew3270u.html For a similar cost to the above monitor I could get the Samsung Odyssey +. However, reviews are mixed and my plan is to sit it out for another year to await VR developments before taking the plunge. Of course some, er.....domestic sensitivity - in the spending department - must now prevail However, a quick perusal of evilbay this evening shows some other, very interesting options at half the price..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-Vive-VR-Headset-including-all-original-components/143180340248 or https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OCULUS-RIFT-TOUCH-VR-HEADSET-inc-2-Controllers-and-2-Sensors-Mint-Condition/372625700492 Therefore I'm now seriously considering taking a punt on a used one at these prices Advice, suggestions, slander, etc. all gratefully received........ *Google it.

It's arrived and it's enormous! Gonna' give it the DCS treatment shortly.

Nice one FT

Some more 'kersplosions
