Ocēlōtl cehuetzilizpan ❄️<h1>DCS VR was a resounding success tonight, but with a catch.</h1><p>I discovered while flying that my USB hub will randomly disconnect everything plugged into it when I use my VR headset. I’ve had this issue rarely before but the VR headset using more USB bandwidth probably exasperated an existing issue with the USB hub.</p><p>Might have to get a new one from a different manufacturer and hope the same issue doesn’t happen again. I don’t think ordering another one from the same manufacturer is gonna resolve the issue.</p><p>Aside from that, playing DCS VR went pretty well. Using the Pimax software as the default OpenXR runtime I was able to get everything running smoothly and encountered no problems. Tracking and view centring all worked beautifully. Just have to adjust the visuals to get a better frame rate and I think I’m golden.</p><p>Again, no nausea even when doing extreme maneuvers in different planes and helis.</p><p>I think a VRChat revisit is in order now that a lot of the kinks have been ironed out. Hopefully my stomach cooperates with me. I'll take things slow and easy and look at whatever accessibility options there are to reduce potential motion sickness. If necessary that is.</p><p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/VR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VR</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/DCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DCS</span></a></p>
Ocēlōtl cehuetzilizpan ❄️<h1>My experience with VR so far</h1><p>Like with most things tech related, my time trying VR has been very weird. I had a lot of strange technical difficulties that had to get sorted out.</p><p>Not only is this my first VR headset, but this is my first time ever experiencing VR. So there’s a lot to say about my experience with that.</p><p>The headset itself is large but not overly so. It weighs on your head like a hard hat or bicycle helmet does: present but not heavy or uncomfortable. When the straps adjusted correctly it’s well balanced on your head. It never felt front heavy to me.</p><p>The headset seemed to track just fine.* Precision with the two controllers was pretty good. No jitter or drift that I can see.</p><p>Passthrough uses the B&amp;W tracking cameras to “see” so visual quality is poor but you can see the individual keys on the keyboard but the letters are illegible.</p><p>The arterial cable wasn’t an issue for me. Just let it hang from behind my head. Didn’t feel “tied down” or uncomfortable, even while standing. Just be mindful of where you place it.</p><p>My main gripe is with the facial cushion. It’s rather thin so I’ll grab the Pimax “comfort kit” when it’s available.</p><p>On day 1 the headset was pretty much plug &amp; play. Got VRChat up and running in short time. Never had any issues with tracking while in the game. </p><p>On day 2, I tried DCS VR. That was a mistake. Had a ton of random issues that needed to be ironed out, from bad tracking to view centring audio issues.</p><p>As for me, someone new to VR, navigating in VRChat was a lot to take in. Very cool but I was sweating and could tell I was riding the line between being fine and being nauseated. Eventually it became too much had to take it off or risk throwing up. I spent a day or two recovering.</p><p>Trying DCS VR, I experienced some very mild vertigo at first given I spawned mid-air but in the end I was able to enjoy my time (as much as I could) before becoming tired of the almost nonstop issues. But physically, I felt fine. No nausea. Just trying to get used to the experience.</p><p>I have no other point of comparison so it’s hard to give an opinion, but the Pimax Crystal Light seems like a solid piece of kit. It plays nice with VR optimized games and offers a visually impressive experience for a fair price.</p><p>DCS VR, on the other paw, is very user unfriendly but VERY cool.</p><p>While cool visually, it seems clear to me that unless DCS becomes a more VR friendly game, I’m going to continue using my IR head tracker. It’s just way more convenient and reliable, and while visually “flat”, everything is much higher definition.</p><p>I’ll have to give VRChat another go but so far I’m pleased with my purchase.</p><p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/VR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VR</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/DCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DCS</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/VRChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VRChat</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/Pimax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pimax</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/CrystalLight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrystalLight</span></a></p>

Ocēlōtl cehuetzilizpan ❄️<p>Over the past few months I’ve flown a lot of neat aircraft in DCS.</p><p>I’m also one of the rare players who’s never purchased Flaming Cliffs outright, instead opting for picking those I like most among the collection.</p><p>Of all the aircraft I fly, it’s probably no surprise that I’ve really taken to the F-16C. It’s the aircraft I feel the most at home in and find its capabilities exceptional. I’m also quite partial to the MiG-29 and Su-27/33.</p><p>Among helis the AH-64D is a pleasure to fly and enjoy sneaking up on threats with Hellfires or gunning down targets with the FLIR at night.</p><p>The Su-25T is an underrated bird I must say. It flies like shit but has a lot of “advanced” air-to-ground weapons you can play around with. You can also strap a ton of rocket pods under the wings to unleash an absolutely ridiculous barrage of rockets at ground targets. It’s cathartic raining down hell like that.</p><p>The only aircraft I feel “meh” about purchasing is the AV-8B (Harrier), though that’s more down to a lack of experience with the bird than a dislike of it. The AJS-37 (Viggen) is another I need more experience with. I’ve just had my hands full with other aircraft.</p><p>Having a lot of fun with friends. Looking forward to many more years of it to come. <del>Assuming ED doesn’t do anything stupid.</del></p><p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/DCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DCS</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/dcsworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dcsworld</span></a></p>

Ocēlōtl cehuetzilizpan ❄️<h1>Someone made the Liaoning</h1><p>In 1985, the Soviet Navy lais down what was to be the second of their new Kuznetsov-class of aircraft carrier. The vessel was originally named the Riga and later renamed the Varyag in 1990. In January 1991, the unfinished carrier was launched at the Mykolaiv shipyard in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.</p><p>Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a now independent Ukraine left the unfinished shell sitting in Mykolaiv until China purchased it in 1998. Three years later they towed it to Dalian and modernized nearly every aspect of the ship. In 2012, the <a href="https://meow.social/tags/Liaoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Liaoning</span></a> was officially commissioned by the PLAN for training purposes. By 2018 the Liaoning was refurbished and officially attached to an active fleet with whom it does regular training exercises to this day.</p><p>In <a href="https://meow.social/tags/DCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DCS</span></a> someone took the time to create a reskin of the Kuznetsov module to look like the Liaoning, which combined with the existing J-15 PLAAF skin for the Su-33 means this bird has a lore-accurate home for Marianas or some other whacky scenario.</p><p>Just a neat thing I thought I’d share. :blobcat:</p><p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/dcsworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dcsworld</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/aircraftcarriers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aircraftcarriers</span></a></p>
