Hi Guys, I forgot to report back. TheThingIs was able to patch the HCS VoicePacks, and now everything works great: http://forum.hcsvoicepacks.com/forum/technical-support/17531-panel-commands-and-vr?p=17734#post17734 So, if anyone has this problem, just follow his instructions.

That is awesome!

Thanks Trev, I'll give it a shot!

I'm so glad that he got the chance to see the movie, and am truly moved by his account.

Hi Lee, good question. I make sure to go into Playback and Recording options within Sound in Windows, and set Rift to both Default Device and Default Communication Device. I did see that someone on the HCS VoicePack forum is recommending disabling the auto-panels within Elite. My are currently on, as I like looking over and having them open. I'll give this a shot when I have the chance.

This is basically the same issue that I'm having. http://forum.hcsvoicepacks.com/forum/technical-support/17531-panel-commands-and-vr

Hey Guys, I figured I'd post this here, just in case anyone has any thoughts. When I play Elite, I use VoiceAttack. Specifically, I have Astra from HCS VoicePacks. Before I got Oculus, I had no problems. Astra responded properly within Elite, and when I told her to open or close a specific menu, she did so. For example: saying "Fire Groups" should immediately open the Fire Groups tab off of panel #4. And if I follow that by saying "Status", she should immediately move to the Status tab. "Close Panel" should close it. And "Navigation" should open the Navigation tab on panel #1, etc. Sometimes she would get confused, and I'd tell her to "Reset all systems" and she'd get back on track. But that was only after a lot of use. Once I got Oculus, I anticipated some issues. So I retrained Win10 to understand the new built-in Oculus microphone. And made sure to start Oculus and Steam first, before starting VoiceAttack and then Elite in VR. However, when I use Oculus, Astra doesn't seem to completely work. She understands the commands, and responds with "Opening [insert whatever I said]". But she doesn't actually do it. She gets confused almost immediately, and either does nothing, or opens up the wrong tab. It's almost like the commands don't work anymore. "Reset all systems" doesn't seem to fix it. I'm hoping to avoid uninstalling VoiceAttack and the VoicePacks and starting over again. But I think that's the way I'm headed. And since it worked fine before, I have no idea if that will fix it. So, any advice would be great! Thanks in advance!

That sucks! I hope you're able to fix it.

Just saw it tonight. I really liked it a lot. For me, it was easily a four star movie. It was basically everything I wanted it to be. There were only a few very nitpicky things that bugged me - and they're all accuracy based. Very minor things, which I'm sure no one really cares about, but that I won't post here (for fear of giving away spoilers). When people see it, we can talk on TS.

More Oculus ramblings. I realized last night within Elite that there are VR graphical settings. Once I set mine to VR Ultra, and then changed the Pixels Per Display Pixel Override parameter from 0 to 2 (after each start up), Elite all of a sudden popped and looks like a million bucks. Same with DCS. Once you change it to VR graphical settings, it looks great. In both 1.5 and 2.0. I still have problems with DCS 2.0 and the MiG-21, though. The radar doesn't fully render. And if you stick your head out of the cockpit, the aircraft fuselage isn't fully there beneath the pilot. But as far as I can tell, all the other aircraft look okay. Strangely, I can't find anyone else on the Eagle Dynamics forums with the same problems regarding the MiG in Oculus in 2.0. So I may try a repair of DCS 2.0 to see what's going on. Side note: the Bf 109 and the Fw 190 look amazing. So do the Spit and the Mustang. It almost makes me like them.

So, I tried VR with DCS 2.0 and there seemed to be a lot of bugs. But VR in DCS 1.5 is pretty smooth. Was very impressed actually. VR in Elite is of course beautiful. Only the Galaxy Map gives me pause, but the Xbox controller makes that easier. And I even like VR in BoX. Haven't flown it much, but it was pretty enjoyable.

Very cool, thanks!

Run the Jewels is awesome. Killer Mike is the man.

Glad Luft could join you guys!

Hi Lou, Sorry for the delayed response. I'll drop you an email tonight. Looking forward to talking to you soon!

It's been an extremely hard fought "Spring Campaign!" Both the Red and Blue flying corps have drawn blood in the skies over Laon, France. The casualties have been high. Aces have fallen. Neither Central nor Entente aircraft have emerged dominant. Just as in the trenches below, PHASE B has ended in stalemate. In the last 4 sessions of PHASE B, both the Red and Blue teams have managed to score a total of 51 points! This is extremely impressive! However, because the Red Team was able to squeak out a win in PHASE A (13 May 2017 - 3 June 2017), they have achieved a Pyrrhic victory within the entire Spring Campaign [both PHASE A and PHASE B combined]. The Blue Team should be extremely proud of their accomplishments, however! To celebrate the conclusion of the Spring Campaign, here is the campaign ribbon, in red in honor of the Red Team. The "s" stands for "Spring Campaign". The vertical bands of blue honor the Blue Team, showing just how close they came to achieving victory. Large version: Small version: This "Spring Campaign" is also very special, because it is the first time that we've given out medals to outstanding achievements within the Flanders In Flames tournament! Based on the results from the JG1 stats page, here are the awardees. Congratulations guys!

Thanks for posting! Can't wait to watch it. I've fallen behind, unfortunately. I was catching your streams while I was at work, but then things got busy. Honestly, it's like flying vicariously.
