Sorry to rehash this if you already mentioned it up thread, but what VR setup do you guys use?
Not sure exactly what you mean⌠but I use Oculus Rift, and a Logitech G940 HOTAS. No special seat or mounting, I just stick stuff on my desk.
I use Voice Attack with Elite Dangerous. I will have to take a look at the vaicom plugin.
Yeah thatâs what I meant, what hardware did you choose for VR.
I have 7700k, 1080ti, 32GB RAM.
A 1070 drives my rift, along with an I7 4970K and 32gigs oâ ram. I fly the aircraft using a warthog HOTAS sitting on a desk which is eminently suboptimal but alas and a saitek plastic rudder pedal set under the desk. I use a sweet beyerdynamic headset for the sounds and the rift built in mic for the voice stuff. umm⌠what else? yeah its windows 10 and the system has two SSDâs, one for the OS, one that contains the sim.
My dream is to get rid of the desk in lieu of a cockpit-ish setup. I want an extension on that stick and mount it between the knees. I want the throttle at thigh level. And I want this sweet pointing device.
What sort of a profile do you use for ED? I tried looking for one but thatâs a jungle of far more complicated and involved stuff than I want or need.
I bought one of the HCS voice packs, and they come with a profile:
I can vouch for the Brian Blessed one.
Seconded.
Bit out of my price range.
It looks like I might get to enjoy it tomorrow instead of Tuesday. One of the benefits of living in Arizona, is that most things ship from California, and get here relatively quickly. Not same day like Amazon :), but still pretty nice. The card is already in town, so it just depends if UPS goes ahead and delivers it tomorrow, or waits a day.
I bet you are excited like a kid on xmas eve :D
Iâm currently flying the Mirage 2K campaign missions. Been doing fine until the first one where I actually meet serious opposition; Of course I ended up a flaming wreck first chance I got :/
Somehow I missed this post, thatâs really cool! Does it cancel the in-game pilotâs voice as well, like when you say âground power onâ do you then hear the game saying âChief, turn the ground power onâ?
Yeah you can tell VAICOM to surpress the pilotsâ voice.
Me: âchief, ground power onâ
game: (tiny beep indicating it understood the command) âwilco, ground power onâ
Me: âtower, request engine startâ
Game: (beep) âcleared for startup wind 270 for 6, active runway is 32, QFE 956â
and so on.
My girlfriend is making fun of the expression âBogey Dopeâ which I tend to use a LOT in an increasingly tense voice as the shit gets thicker.
AWACS is crutch for decadent Western imperialists, comrade.
Glorious machines of the people will also allow bogey dope call if GCI or awacs is present.
Wait until she has to date a guy who doesnât even know what that means. Then she will be sorry!
She will miss those hot summer nights turgid with the simulated angst of bogey doping and bandit splashing!
Ah, yes, when Juffo-Wup fills your fibers.

We got two kids and are ânot marriedâ so she wont likely do much dating. My pc is in the living room, a couple meters away from the couch where she sits knitting and watching project runway.
DCS patch hit today, adds the SA-2. Ancient big ass but very iconic SAM. Much fun to fly around.
Il-2 also got patched today. Lots of work done to the effects. Also some sweet optimization done. I took shadows from medium to high and the game overlay âHUDâ got fixed. It no longer eats a third of your frames.
