Thanks much appreciated. It is a lot of fun to fly this way.

Hi I received it as a pilot with the 476th. I thought it was a public mod, but will check.

@@Ready.A-10C thx in advance

@@Danguard63 Try this one forum.dcs.world/topic/92508-dcs-world-a10-c-rwr-audio-expansion/ I am not sure if it is the same, but it is public. I can not help you with troubleshooting, not that technical myself. Good luck!

@@Ready.A-10C thank you but this doesn't work from a lot of time. I think your files are special. Is it not possible to have?

@@Danguard63 Hi sorry I don't want to be difficult but I am not sure if it is okay for me to be sharing these files when they were shared with me when I was with the 476th. If it is not on their public section I think it was for internal use only and then it is best if you reach out to them and ask yourself. Easiest is through their Discord. I hope you don't mind.

We are using SRS

@@Ready.A-10C got it

Hi I starten on my own and later joined virtual wings where I learned a lot. I am still learning, sometimes feels like I barely scratch the surface. You can see the wings that I flew/fly with in my bio. Best way is to just practice, but I always try to combine theory and practice and try to learn a couple of things every flight, which is easy when you fly in a wing full of similarly motivated guys. I add my learnings to the debrief in the comments.

It was shared with me while flying with the 476th. You can find it in the pubs folder on their website I think.

@@Ready.A-10C my question is because ED encrypted the sounds files (edce exxtension) and the RAE mod doesen't work at all. Can you share this fiiles with me please?

@@Ready.A-10C no is not available

It is called OpenKneeboard

OpenKneeboard

I don't understand your question.

The RWR.

Hi thank you very much. I am focused on the A-10 but on the side I am starting with Helicopters and first will work with the Huey. I love the A2G mission.

@@Ready.A-10C Me too. 🙂Show some love to the helis too. 😄

Hi thanks, sorry I don't think the Wing's combat missions are public.

openkneeboard.com/features/dual-kneeboards.html I have zoom and gaze turned off. I use a secondary kneeboard which is mirroring the settings from the first kneeboard. On my primary kneeboard (left) I set my procedures folder as default and on my secondary kneeboard (right) I configured my MDC folder. This way the MDC is closest to the CDU, which is easier for copying coordinates while entering waypoints, less travel for the eyes. I put some space between the two kneeboards so it is easier for my kneeboards to figure out at which one I am looking to get the focus so I can use my HOTAS to control the navigation within the kneeboard. If they are too close together I sometimes have difficulty getting focus on the one I want.

Yes thanks I knew but forgot. Looked it up again and won't forget again :)

Yes it can be done by editing a specific lua. I still have night default color in there. I switched day to black because it otherwise is very hard to read when it is very bright out there in Persian Gulf.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Hi these are mods. RWR mod and cockpit mod. I am also using OpenXR Toolkit to adjust some brightness and saturation settings.

@@Ready.A-10C thanks! :)

Yes I am using it. I use ovgme and disable/enable all mods with every update. Did you try putting it in your DCS or saved games folder?

@@Ready.A-10C I'll try the latest version again. I heard the sound files are now hidden.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I am happy you enjoy watching my flights. If there is anything I can do to make it easier/better to watch (besides developing myself further as a virtual hog pilot and becoming more versed), let me know and maybe I can take it into account going forward. 🐗

GBU-38 and GBU-54 have been reported to be able to get shot down by SA-15. At least that is what I read on the forum. Am not going to get close enough anyways to drop these with an SA-2 nearby. I also engaged the SAMs low too with guns only, but that is quite a tricky ingress, jinking and dodging the incoming rockets. Will make a video on it soon, quite a challenge and a ride.

@@Ready.A-10C thank you. I didn't know that. It seems like they added that in October. It also looks like 500lbs JDAMs might get through unharmed. I'll give it a try and lob some with my F-16 onto a TOR/SA2 site in Pretense. My Mavs always get shot down by TOR

Thanks, I don't think I have seen it in any of the publicly available TTP's and SOP's. I am not sure if this would work or been used IRL, or if the systems are smart enough to do this by themselves. I guess there would also be SEAD/DEAD to take care of the SAMs before the hogs come out to play. I will see if I can get an answer because it is quite an interesting topic. The idea of using triangulation came to me while it was taking us quite some time the other day to find a SAM, we ended up wild weaseling (see my previous video). I practiced VOR triangulation and have seen or read about SAM triangulation on a forum or YT video somewhere in the past, might as well have been yours. All my good ideas usually come from somebody else. :) I have also seen something about finding a downed pilot using radio triangulation, but can't remember how that worked and where/what that was as well..

​@@Ready.A-10C In the real A-10C I could imagine the RWR not being entirely precise enough (either the computer, or just the display) so that DCS possibly gives more precise indications. In general an automated form obviously exists (see the F-16/HARM, and all the E-designation aircraft), so an A-10C would most likely get the info from other platforms. But if someone finds themselves in a pickle I can totally see the "poor man's SAM finder" being used, wouldn't be the craziest thing to be improvised during the Gulf wars by far!

Yes you can be JTAC, AWACS, TWR without being a flying pilot. The 23rd Squadron is the place to be. If interested, you are very welcome to join our Discord and start a chat to find out more.

Thanks for the tip 👍

Hi you can use the shaking reduction which is an option in OpenXR Toolkit.

@@Ready.A-10C ok, I'll try it. and what percentages are you using?

@@Fluffy_Redneck When I was using the G2 I had it set on -30%

Yeah that is the challenge :)

The open kneeboard is in VR on another API layer. I am using the pen to write on the tablet and don't need to use alt-tab. That is about as far as my technical knowledge goes 😀

Do you know of any public instructions on how to get that API layer setup? This sounds like Greek to me, but this would be a game changer for me @@Ready.A-10C

@@Wheelman_PCAS it should work automatically witthout any work.

Hi I was looking at my VR kneeboard but forgot to record it. Haven't seen this series, will check it out. Thanks for the tip.

@@Ready.A-10C rog. Very much appreciate your detailed tactics, I’ll be studying :)

@@Wheelman_PCAS I am still learning CAS, some of my upcoming flights will focus on itto get my CAS qualification.

@@Ready.A-10Ca fantastic mission set. Will you have a human JTAC? I’m learning as well- in BMS though. And I’m not part of a squad with rigorous sops…

@@Wheelman_PCAS Yes we have human JTAC's or FAC(A)'s.

Thanks. The RWR. I usuallly lower that volume, but this time it was quite high, same as rhe engine sounds.

Thank you, but I am committed to the hog for the time being. I am not really looking to grow my channel. Just like to be a spot for the A-10.

@@Ready.A-10C Completely understand :) In that case, epic channel!

“Day 1 of requesting you dogfight 6 SU-57s using only mavericks” 😂

Thank you, we have a lot of fun

Hi it is a tool called OpenKneeboard. Thanks it takes some practice 😀

Yeah I reallylike it. Am considering to add a second one.

Hi yes, it is a tool called OpenKneeboard .

Hi bud, thank you, Soran is a great loss for 132nd Virtual Wing. Sorry for your loss as well. Emmy and myself we did not fly together but we chatted some and I remember he made beautiful photographs. Ik knew he was battling cancer.

Yes it is getting better. The blur is the peripheral, as configured in QVFR. With my Aero's eyetracking the focus area is supersharp, so inside the headset everything looks clear. But in the recordings the peripheral is very obvious.

@@Ready.A-10C Ahh that makes sense! Does the focus area help improve performance by drawing the periphery at lower resolution? And that explains why I didn't know about the feature as a pancake screen user. Cheers!

Yes this is the purpose of the software. The eye tracking makes sure that wherever I look it is sharp and the other areas are in a lower resolution. So the sharp area is not in the middle, but just where my eyes are looking. By using this software the demand on my system is reduced significantly. The sizes can be configured to best suit any given configuration. I am still tweaking with it. Of course it would be nicest if I would have everything sharp in the video, but it is a tradeoff between performance inside VR and visual clarity inside the recording. I think by time I will find the best balance.

@@Ready.A-10C Like eye tracking in addition to the (TrackIR-style) head tracking? Very clever! Do you notice any delay with the focus area following your eyes? The recording seems perfectly responsive, as far as I can tell without knowing where you meant to look. Most focus lag on KZbin might be due to the KZbin compression taking longer to "fill in" detail in the focus area than it takes the software to render it. 👍 The blur is not intrusive (merely noticeable) even watching the recording because I naturally follow your cockpit workflow and look at (more or less) the same places as you do. It actually helps as a highlight for the cockpit interaction in a way, although that's just a side effect of course. Only if I catch myself distractedly staring out the window the blur can seem excessive (for us viewers), and I shouldn't do that to start with ;) Every 6-12 months I catch up with VR progress in DCS and in general and each time I'm surprised how much better it has become again. Really tempted to get a headset myself. Between budgeting for both headset and new GPU, and the lack of contact lenses that fit my eyesight quite right (I need glasses that ain't gonna fit under a headset) I'll have to stay with a regular screen for now. In a few years all this might not be a factor any more! :)

It's called OpenKneeboard and is great for VR users. Even allows for use of a drawing tablet for the ability to write on your kneeboard via the drawing tablet. Pretty cool stuff

@@disaster2master yes I use it, a great tool! I am using a Wacom Intuos mini tablet attached to my knee with a rubber band plus magnet. Works great as well. I have some rotary knobs on my Hotas bounded to the kneeboard for easy scrolling through chapters and pages and even adjusting brightness.

OpenKneeboard. Highly recommended. i can't live without anymore within DCS.
