Have a question about the pointctrl how accurate is it with hand positioning? I use the slug mouses which emulate the mouse clicks(they are finger mounted devices like the pointctrl) but uses my quest three for the hand tracking. Issue that I have is the quest three hand tracking cameras are on the bottom of the headset so the tracking is a little skewed for instance if I’m flying the f16 and I want to press any buttons like coms or enter frequencies my hand has to be higher IRL then in relation to the panel in game. With the pointctrl since it has its own tracking sensor is the hand position somewhat accurate? Just wondering if I should get myself on the waitlist for the pointctrls
@@MadMan_3353 Hi! The pointCTRL cursor is very accurate. It moves exactly to where it should. There is a calibration routine which one does once and then it’s good for all aircraft. So, when you see me press a button on the up front controller or lower the hook in the Hornet, my hand is pointing directly at the buttons etc and the cursor is exactly where it should be.
@@MadMan_3353 Also, you absolutely should get on the list ASAP. You don’t have to pay anything and once your order comes up, you can opt not to pay and then you get skipped. Nothing to lose. Hopefully Miles gets things rolling again. Poor guy has had real life challenges.
Borderline offtopic,but the choppiness is from the video recording or is it present irl too ? Because dumping money on a fire hazard 4090 for ‘almost’ fluid rendering is getting hard to swallow. I nearly fly a powerpoint slideshow on my Nixon administration era gaming laptop but for a ‘today’ cost that make it admissible. On a top of the line computer, no matter the excuse code written with the @ss and finished with p1ss is unacceptable… as well as unenjoyable…
@@G_de_Coligny If I fly single player (not online) and am not recording (encoding etc) the stream etc, then I can attain 90 FPS for the most part which is the maximum by VR headset can handle. Online adds a lot of overhead to DCS. I also fly VR only which really is hard on frame rates, particularly with a high end VR headset with a high pixel density. You can see the specs of my system so you know it is at or near the highest end currently. It’s over a year old but I don’t think that there has been any significant upgrades to CPU yet and no new graphics cards from nvidia. I had an older system (the first batch of my videos were shot on that but on an HP Reverb G2 which was not a demanding headset and it looks terrible now. If you don’t fly VR, you will get great performance with a system such as mine. I could also adjust a few settings to boost FPS but it would come at a cost to the quality of the recorded video.
@@StrIIker-TV Unfortunately with coder incompetent enough sometimes throwing upgrades and money at the software is not even enough to compensate. adjusting the settings is not admissible either... I removed ALL the trees in MSFS by editing manually my config file to make it usable with helicopter but if I had the same specs as you do all slider to the max would be the minimum acceptable. I discovered how fluidity was primordial in flight sim with Hellcats on Macintosh then with Parsoft/Graphsim A10/F18. they were the 2 only companies able to make the flight smooth even on potato powered macintoshes. There were better sims like out of the sun/flying nightmare , Apache. Hokum... but they were mediocre in their optimisation or just port done by code monkeys. And Flying and Av8b in a powerpoint slideshow, even a fast one is not a good experience... Thanks for your answer.
Yes, Eagle Dynamics has a lot of work to do around modernizing / rewriting the core code for DCS. In terms of adjusting settings, I was recommending it in case you purchase a newer system and want higher frame rates. I used to use flight sims as far back as the 80's. DCS is still the single best flight simulator experience which I have ever had, specifically in Virtual Reality. It's simply an amazing experience. Long ago, I flew the Strike Eagle on my old Commodore 64 and at the time, I thought it was amazing. Today in DCS, it's simply stunning.
@@SalmanAbbas-ec9jj not sure what this comment means but if it’s that I have some desire to see Iran attacked or something, I don’t. This is a game where various adversaries are attacked in different areas of the world. It’s not a political thing.
