*===VR Headset===*
Disclosure: I haven’t reviewed the Quest 2, yet. Here are my thoughts;
The Bad
-Average PCVR headset
-Data rate capped at 2.5Gbps (burry/compressed image sometimes)
-Oculus discontinues replacement parts after a few years
The Good
-Most affordable headset. 300$ standalone & PCVR headset
-Resident Evil 4 VR exclusive
-Low spec. Good for low end systems
-Wireless or wired PC connection
Before buying anything, make sure your PC is powerful enough for a quest 2

Can I ask why you're playing with a vr controller? I fly dcs exclusively in vr and I cant imagine trying to control switches with a my actual hands. I would suggest to just assign the ones you use commonly on your hotas and use your mouse to hit the switches that you barely ever use. ( like start up)
Yeah DCS is not very forgiving, especially when your flying against professionals.
Rearming ccan take a minute or two, the ground crew will tell you when there done, they should say "Rearming Complete" Also, you can range with the gunsight and tune it to that range for accurate firing, GR did a vid on it – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm6bpdBji2w
Someone is also making a high quality AH-1G mod for DCS, link if your interested – https://www.youtube.com/@elessarthestrider6178/videos
i get so much anxiety when he flies at 85 degrees and the blades are cutting grass
Why doesn't it hibt such modes in War Thunder?
you should try a cold war server it will be a bit more forgiving considering you wont deal with look down radars and 100km bvr missiles and what not. Also if you can try out the abu dhabi map it is, well, abu dhabi, a giant urban forest i imagine that will be more your domain.
Is the quest headset going to be your main hmd or are you going to swap back to the rift?
You should try out enigma cold war, not alot of planes stalking you, more ground targets, you can take in troops and drop them a mile away to kill ground targets or a fes miles away to recon, of just go in guns blazing lmao
Watching time Mr Bruce….
not a chopper pilot, but i do play dcs and can throw some tips.
-your rockets have heavier splash then war thunder as in your damaging yourself.
-most mods(vehicle) you need to turn the engines on and open your cockpit door to comunicate with the groung crew to change weapons or countermeasurs or APS ect…it also takes a cpl minutes as you watch the munitions swap one by one.
-turn helmet volume down to mute the overwatch, or you can learn the radio, never flown heuy so i dont know it.
-top right hand corner of the f10 map canges the map type, also the arrow icon in the top bar will lock/unlock your posistion to the center, so you can look around the map.
You deffently fly great, you just need to learn dcs and its game mechanics.
heyyyy welcome to DCS dude ! remeber me ? BTW growling sidewinder have a youtube chanel
landing uphill expecting to slide down instead of just dying.. wt idiot indeed!
(i would not do any better(lovingly))
glad to see the tree pop in is worse than in wt
I'd recommend the BoboVR halo strap
Has the best ergo's and even hot-swappable batteries if you ever want to go wireless
okyyy.. it seems DCS jets welcome you warmely 😄, alright, some servers have a bot that give a hot threat callout but you need SRS on the right frequency, others they have EWR script in radio menu > F10 > EWR repport > request picture. usual as utility chopper you have to read the terrain to conseal, and in close danger (10 miles) sit in confined area.. but if you an attack chopper with AA capability (Ka-50, Mi-24 & Sa-342), you can fight back & hammer dawn those buzzers.
What graphics card are you running?
