GR is known for getting basic stuff wrong and then lashing out at anyone who calls them out on it. Don't pay attention to anything they publish, it's likely full of misinformation.

My favorite tutorial vid is the carrier landing by the ED dev. Just super chill and nbd about it all then at the end is like “yep so that’s it”.

You watch it and you’re like “oh well gently caress a 6 year old can do this” and then you try and bolter 4 times in a row or straight up rear end gently caress the carrier.

it looks like gpus are getting towards msrp again, so i figured i'd come ask if there's any point in getting one. i play in vr on a g1 reverb and my current card is a 1080ti. would i see any benefit in upgrading to the 3080ti?

I went from a 1080 to 3080 recently and yes, it is much better, but then made life hard for myself by going to VR which brought me more in line with the thread title.

Gonna somewhat master this Hornet and then get the Tomcat when it is on sale. I actually have a legit interest in being a RIO for personal reasons. Who wants to be my driver?

I'll be a pilot. Right now we have more pilots than RIOs as regulars, so it will not be hard for you to find a driver for a mission.

Any tips on trackir placement? I bought the grass monkey puck which is the equivalent of the trackir pro. It keeps shadowing it’s own sensors and causing choppy tracking and the camera jumping around

THis is an insanely good deal. I recommend getting it if simming's your thing. If your GPU is not up to par, so what, fly with lower res until you get a better one.

I have a Grass Monkey puck that I velcro to the right side of my headset. I have the TrackIR on top of my monitor offset a bit to the right, right in line with the puck when I'm sitting centered in front of the monitor, maybe tilted down a bit to face directly at the puck since the sensor sits a bit higher than my head. You are pressing F12 in the TrackIR software while facing straight forward to center it yeah?

confirming.

I ran a reverb G2 in iRacing and Into the Radius with a 1080 at half resolution and it was fine.

No idea how you'd go trying to run DCS like that though.

I ran a reverb g1 on a 1080 (non-ti) for a bit on an Intel 4570k (or was it 4750k?) W/ 16GB ram. Res was reduced from default to something close to 2160x2160. It was fine for me.

Re: Grassmonkey puck: did anyone figure out a way to mount the puck to a headset that does not involve velcro? I'd like to get a better headset but I don't want to permanently walk around with a velco strap on it.

I was doing just like this, but I've been reading around that people have put the sensor on their desk and tilted up. I'm trying it now, and I've had no self-shadowing so far.

If you’re going new, look away from the warthog. It’s getting long in the tooth compared to newer options.

Check out VKB as well. Their Gladiator NXT is an excellent value for "shitloads better than low-end stuff," and the higher end Gunfighter poo poo is excellent, though avoid the Modern Combat Grip unless you have giant hands.
