Added a camo version of the Mossie with added weathering details. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/319776-dcs-mosquito-fb-vi-livery-competition/page/6/#comment-5173448

I made a few skins for the DCS Mosquito skin competition. Rather than clutter up this thread, here's the link on the DCS forum: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/319776-dcs-mosquito-fb-vi-livery-competition/page/5/#comment-5167111

I'm really enjoying this. Thanks Snag!

Yeah, I went back also.

I didn't say that I was any good at it . Those things are made for people who have the ability to slow down time... and that was in the 60s (and before I'd experienced peyote). I'm sure that they have become even more of beasts by now.

I was really active in ridge soaring combat. Probably the most fun I've had in R/C. Never really got into powered R'C combat though. I did fly control line combat in my teens though. That was a blast also.

Sorry I'll miss you. Dinner calls.

Any interest in some DCS tonight? I'm looking for some Tomcat training but will fly anything. I'm in Discord but I might not see it right away since I'm in single player trying to figure stuff out. There's no training missions for pilot operated Fox 1 and 3 that I can see.

When somebody says "Hey Dude, you rammed me!" Kinda makes me want to get back into RC

Here's the latest. Glass plates / platters along with a video of the process (his is a bit larger than mine but the same moves. The final spin is really exciting.

So sorry to hear of this.

I thought I was the oldest member (68) but I bow to my elder.

@Vikner! We've all been wondering about you and hoping that you're OK. Sorry to hear about the vision issues and I hope that your optometrist can find a solution. If you're able to fly at all (and it seems it's so regarding your work in DCS), please come join us and maybe we can find a way to get you in with us. We do lots of low key practice and haven't had a really serious tournament DID style thing for quite a while. Would you have any interest in doing GCI?

OK, after all that I found that Skatezilla's GUI works and DCS launches fine in the VR headset along with a 2d visible mirrored on the monitor. Cursor is operational in both. For some reason my App settings in Skatezilla for VR Interface settings had changed to Oculus. Changing it to SteamVR seems to have done the trick. Sheesh!

I'm still struggling to get DCS to work and think this may be the issue (Changelog from Friday): OpenXR is removed from autosearch. DCS has a chain of VR vendors in priority oculus, OpenVR, Varjo, etc. OpenXR was in that chain in top priority, now it is removed from this chain and only available when you explicitly specify it in command line of DCS. From this thread and regarding changing shortcut properties: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/296983-open-composite-openxr-toolkit-tuning-guide-updated-091022/page/26/ Although you don't technically I just have the use VR headset box checked in options. I changed the shortcut "Target" as above and DCS launches in VR (headset only... nothing on monitor). Well, that's fine and dandy except that I have no mouse cursor. I took a whole day off from the computer because of frustration and am back in the same boat today with blood pressure on the rise. There's another thread regarding Steam VR vs OpenXR changes: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318110-confusion-steamvr-vs-openxr-opencomposite-8/ Members 1k Posted Thursday at 03:38 PM It drives me a bit nuts how people throw around the words and mixing stuff up adding more to the confusion. Let's try to clear this up: - VR runtimes and VR APIs - SteamVR can do OpenVR and OpenXR. Oculus can do LibOVR and OpenXR. Windows Mixed Reality can do WMR and OpenXR. (Microsoft couldn't find an additional name to distinguish between their VR runtime and VR API) :P 1. DCS now talks OpenXR 2. Before the latest patch DCS could only talk OpenVR (SteamVR's native VR API) and LibOVR (Oculus's native VR API). 3. DCS never could talk WMR, the Windows Mixed Reality API by Microsoft (Sadly HP chose WMR as main VR runtime for the Reverb series, here starts most of the trouble...). 4. Microsoft made a very bad "WMR for SteamVR plugin" so that WMR headset owners would be at least able to play VR games over SteamVR and it's OpenVR API because nobody really made VR games for WMR. This WMR plugin is basically a very underpaid translator, talking OpenVR to WMR, a bad choice of middleman software for popular headsets like HP's Reverb series. 5. So for DCS that means - it talked OpenVR to the WMR for SteamVR plugin wich translated everything to WMR. This wasn't working very well. Thank you Microsoft (good that they now finally stopped this). So OpenComposite came in for the rescue. It translates everything from DCS to OpenXR, the only other VR API that WMR understands. And OpenComposite put a lot of tuning options into it to compensate WMR performance troubles. It is the better translator. 6. OpenXR was developed by Khronos Group to end this mess - One API for ALL! 7. Guess what, SteamVR can also natively talk OpenXR. Oculus can also natively talk OpenXR. 8. OpenComposite is not OpenXR. Sadly a lot of people, mostly HP Reverb owners, refer to OpenComposite as OpenXR. That's not correct. It's also unfair to blame SteamVR for having bad performance if you plug a WMR headset to it via the inferior "WMR for SteamVR plugin". 9. For DCS now everything is about to change! SteamVR native HMD --> Oculus native HMD --> OpenXR --> DCS WMR native HMD --> No more translators needed, finally. Each VR runtime has OpenXR included for quite some time already. If you have a myriad of VR tweaks installed, especially if you were going the OpenComposite route, just start fresh. Step by Step. In the coming months a lot is going to change. Most guides are already deprecated now. Especially for DCS and VR and HP Reverb owners. (And no, DCS bought on Steam doesn't mean you have to use SteamVR. Steam as a shop and SteamVR as a system component are completely different things. You can now use DCS standalone or DCS from Steam with every VR runtime that is compatible with your VR HMD.) I guess I'll keep thrashing at it. Might have to go back to SteamVR??? It all sucks since I finally had good settings for spotting.

More detail and with graphics.

I've read all of his prior books and they are excellent. Very believable and well researched (with footnotes). He was an Army helicopter pilot serving for 18 months in Vietnam. This is about the clusterf*** (on the part of the South Vietnamese and some of the remaining US high command) of how the North Vietnamese began their conquest. I was unaware of how many US advisors were still there and how involved they were.

Good visual of the affect: And here's the full video from which this was derived. Shows pre VRS, entry and recovery. (Why they're doing this in such unforgiving terrain? No idea except this is what Swiss are used to?).

Also maybe this one?

How can we check to see if this is taking place?
