Game version 2.009 discussion: Open VR support

[Semor76]

I think something went a bit wrong here...

 

Did anyone noticed that the "GPS" Plane Icon is now linked with the Objectmarkers turn on Option??

 

I didnt changed my settings so far. But by bringing up the Map (O) the Icon should be there (I).  Dont get me wrong,I can navigate via VFR over the most maps,but this little GPS feature is very helpfull if you get lost over Snow Terrain in Single Player campaigns.

 

So,anyone else have this "Bug"?

[Jade_Monkey]

Ugh, all these comments are making me consider a VR headset. I just told my wife i would hold off :S i guess i could surprise her (to keep the flame alive and all that...)

[ZikoEgy6]

Very nice patch thanks , But I cant see my plane Icon on the map after the patch.

Good,I´m not the only one...

Anyone with a VR headset, how they work with headphones? Id like to use my beyerdynamic cans instead of the cheapo ones that come with the vive/rift. Does the strap get in the way?

THe new patch broke some gui-stuff: Bombsight screen does not work any more and in map screen on TAW all airfields are marked with the red "under attack"-rings

Rift headphones are surprisingly good. I had my doubts about them but they work very well and I saw no need to replacement. You can remove Rift headphones if you want of course, haven`t tried it though.

I'm really impressed with your work, devs!

 

So many great things I'd like to say about VR, but I don't want to spend time on that now. No problems with nausea, but I took it easy with the yak. I do feel a bit "tipsy" now, the way one feels after spinning.

 

The only problem is with the hardware. The low resolution is indeed a step back. Those who are tight on cash, spare your money until the resolution improves. It's unclear how long it will take for Oculus and HTC to improve things, but with Pimax already building headsets with better screens, and for cheaper, the big names might find themselves forced to push new models sooner than people think.

[OrLoK]

Stop writing such things I'm still at work chained to my desk.

The wait will be worth it

 

Try out the bombers when you can though, the sense of scale in the cockpits is splendid.

-Heinkel H6 Tailgunner down have a Grafik BUG by me

-Heinkel H6 Bombing Instrument(alt or High in Bombview) not working

[Irgendjemand]

Oh I think we moved it. Was in Camera. The noise you hear is probably your head hitting the canopy. Deselect it in Settings.

OK thank you!

Argh:

And if I hit "offline" it says:

 

"There's a newer version, please update your game".

Anyone with the same problem??

Did you update? Use the launcher of you typically use the exe

[CanadaOne]

Developers said: "3. Hiding the in-game HUD (H key) now stops most GUI routines, which can double your FPS in some situations. You can use this to get a performance boost while playing on a slower PC. After hiding the HUD, you can still turn object markers on by pressing I key (they won't lower performance since they were recreated for VR in a separate module that doesn't use ScaleForm like the rest of the GUI);"

 

You weren't kidding. I got a serious performance boost on my smelly old dual core machine. In flights that gave my high 20 to high 30s, I am now often in the high 40s, even with a few more planes in the air. I can be at 40FPS with no HUD, drop to 25 when I turn in on, and jump back to 40 with it off.  

 

Very nice performance boost!  Thank you.

-Heinkel H6 Bombing Instrument(alt or High in Bombview) not working

 

 

All bombsights are bugged, the compass indicator is static in north position and the alt indicator is static in 0m pos

 

 

I wish there was actual testing before releasing a patch...

Yes i have the same problem. Damned damned damned damend....

[Gunsmith86]

Very well done Devs.

So far everything works fine for me with my HTC vive.

Maybe a hotfix in the making or so.

Same thing for me about dserver and game.

[Jade_Monkey]

I got the "do what you want" from the wife which means i can buy it if i agree to take some shit for a few weeks. The big question: Oculus or Vive?

 

If price was not a factor, whats the best experience for THIS GAME.

 

I read the dev diary a few weeks back, just want to hear from other players.

Salutations and thanks for the report. I am a graphics whore. The higher the graphics resolutions are the happier I am. I will not go to the expense of VR until they improve their graphical output. I'll wait and watch developments.

Same here. Is the auth server down?

Master Server seems to have gotten hammered today. We'll fix. Just hang tight.

I just installed the game yesterday for the first time and was able to launch it. Now since the update I can't launch the game now. It gives me this "10005 Error: a new update is available". My launcher is red and says "Play". Is there a way to forcefully install the update manually?

First impression after 2h testing on CV1 - The best Sim games VR implementation so far.

See Jason's comment above yours. They​ probably need to fix the master server first.

Another point to fix:

 

When re-doing quickfly missions, the gui bugs out completely:

 

The tips and tech chat is all moved to pos 0,0 in top left corner over another... and does not stack downwards anymore. the mouse arrow remains hidden and will not re-appear in any game menue after that and exiting the flight and the menue-highlights don´t de-highlight so you got several items, see attachment:

Pimax 4k is working and looking nice...no 6dof but everything else is there with beautiful resolution. I will play with visual settings later but so far amazing for only 300$ & head tracking improvements in the works.

GD!, please post something bad about it or I will be forced to buy it in the next few weeks....

Sorry, but could you tell me where exactly i can deselect so the bumbsound doesnt appear anymore?

Thanks!!

Well that is pathetic... my post was deleted by admins.

Remove head movement limits removes the sound.

The Rift headphones are actually very good. I found then on par with my Sennheiser headphones, so have shelved them.

Nice Update. Flight model slightly improved, plus some significant bugs. How long will we wait for patch fixes?

Or 'cos I didn't said anything in superlative about patch...

Now one more time. As PasteszOdbytu (   what a nick haha) said there are some significant bugs the ones that guys said and the ones I said : lagging map and airfields are in red circles like they'll be attacked all the time.
