Hi,

First, relax. Mouse clicking is coming in the next release.

Now, there is something I totally do not understand (and Chris does not understand) about what you have said…maybe you can explain it, because others have said it to.

– The mouse requires one hand. A single touch controller requires…one hand. Both of them require you to let go of ONE part of your HOTAS setup…you can mouse and yoke, or you can mouse and throttle, but you can’t mouse and yoke and throttle all at the same time unless you have three hands.

So…how is mouse interaction going to be better than controller interaction? It seems to me that both will require exactly one hand, leaving two feet and one hand for physical hardware.

– The difference between the mouse and controller is: you can SEE the controller in the HMD, even when not holding it. I don’t have to take off my HMD to pick up a controller if I leave it somewhere reasonable (e.g. within sensor range). By comparison, my mouse is NOT visible in the HMD, so I have to lift up the HMD at least a little to find it.

So I am very confused by your comment because, while we ARE putting in mouse interactions, I don’t see them actually fixing any of the things you are complaining about.

Can you explain this in more detail?

WOW, someones working and not on Vacation. Thanks for the reply. My first working day is the 8th of January. Got the rest of the week for flying… 🙂 Been testing the whole evening yesterday. Went to bed very late (or early deppending on the way you look at it, but flying in VR is just so fantastic). Had trouble finding any serious Bugs. Also found out that complete virtual flying with a virtual yoke is aweful. Went back to my hardware yoke and hardware throttle, and it was a dream. Only I couldn’t switch anything because of lack of space. But you said something is coming. Good. Thought if only the pointy end of the virtual controllers were a bit longer, then I could reach things. Could make a small tray next to my yoke to keep my Vive controller on, and then grab it when I need to use it. Flying with Hardware is just so much better. The plans to sell all my stuff have now been canceled. Even my radio panels I can sort of use blindly. Think when the knuckles controllers for the Vive come out, that will also change things a bit as they sort of get strapped to the hands.
Only thing I noticed with FPS, is that when you resync World Traffic 3.0, then X-Plane gets unplayable, but that’s not your ballpark.

Happy New Year by the Way…

Hope this helps ( would be better to have another channel to report beta bugs )

1) Already solved. Solution coming in the next release.
2) Try turning up “Supersampling” in your Oculus or SteamVR settings. Be careful to only touch ONE place and not both as they are additive. If you have a decent video card you can increase the texture resolution of things a bit and get clearer text without hurting performance. If you are already bottlenecked on your GPU, then doing this will make things judder of course.
3) It’ll be an option at some point
4) Yeah they’re low-res but the Hangar needs to load FAST and not consume a ton of resources. It’s just supposed to be environmental.

The Gamma of the HMD displays is “whack” to use a technical term. They are responsible for the crazy sky colors. I think the Vive might be worse than the Oculus. I have not noticed reflection issues. The controller sizes are rendered to be about the size of the real controllers. You can’t hide them or change their size. Your hands have the same problem in real life. 🙂 What specifically do you like about DCS that we’re missing or is it “mouse support” that has been discussed ad nasuem?

that was when i had money now i dont times change

i think im the only person in tasmania with the CV1 so i cant borrow a pair 🙁
