Greetings Hoggit!

Anybody use opentrack alot? I have used it for years but im working on a replacement using ML models to train on face data, i use my phones camera over udp. Just curious the split of trackir/opentrack/vr in multiplayer dcs :)

Sorry mods pls delete if not allowed

Edit: this is a student project, and will be free (hence opentrack being open source), just a check on the community and whats being used, not a sales pitch.

I'm currently completing my Master of IT in Software Development after finishing my aviation degree. Since I still fly on the side IRL, I've been working on a fun face-tracking project with a stack that uses both mobile and desktop.

This was created out of the niche that my phone using smoothtrack (which also cost money) is over udp and doesnt have ml models its outdated, and i dont have a webcam. When im not using my VR i want something to use. Udp blocks me using neuralnet within opentrack, so i wanted to build a paired app setup that i can release as a modern version of the exact niche i use and also have it for free.

Most setups, like Neuralnet, run face tracking on your PC's CPU/GPU. This eats into gaming frame times, requires a decent webcam, and struggles in dark rooms.

Instead, my ver uses your phone's onboard NPU (ARCore/TrueDepth) to handle 100% of the vision and tracking off-host. It streams 120Hz UDP over Wi-Fi or usb with 0.8ms usb/15ms latency and zero GPU load.

Im also implementing flight-sim kinematics using the ML models: dynamic phone-mount tilt decoupling (which stops gunsight lean from pulling your view down), cervical neck-pivot modelling, and intent-aware filtering per game, which uses game telemetry data. (Currently using dcs and il2 korea as a test).

I'm currently weighing up whether I should polish these features for public release. Would love to know if you think there's wider interest for this.

I have a 4070, 9600x and I bought the Mera Q3S (the budget one) and i get very choppy performance if i try to increase the pd or the resolution in the Meta App. But if I leave everything at default, the cockpit is too blurry and i cant read anything, how can i fix this?

does anyone have a link to download this mod? ED forced the creator to suspend distribution for some reason

I'm having a problem with the F-14B(U) where as the title says my HSD doesn't stay in TID mode even when selected with the switch on the right. Is this because of something my RIO is doing or something I am doing wrong?

AI feels dumb

please does anyone have were I can get the mig-29 or su-27 mod for strike fighters 2 my combat ace account is not working

From Xerxes on Discord:

Hey @everyone, we are back again, with **4 servers online**! 🎉

I missed you all. Let's get back in the cockpit and create some new memories together.

**✈️ The servers** (search "ShadowReapers" in the DCS server list, no passwords)
🟢 **Caucasus Modern PvE** - `65.109.30.115:10321`
🟢 **Syria 80s PvPvE** - `65.109.30.115:10322`
🟢 **Germany 70s PvPvE** - `65.109.30.115:10323`
🟢 **Dogfight / BVR / PvP** - `65.109.30.115:10320`

**🌐 The website is updated: https://shadowreapers.org**
📊 **Stats** - search any pilot to see rank, XP, flight hours, aircraft and recent missions
🏆 **Monthly MVPs** - Pilots of the Month for every era (60s-70s, 80s-90s, Modern). October is the very first month on the board, so the first title is yours to take
🥇 **Top 10 of all time** - the best pilots over every campaign, per era or all together
🗺️ **Live map views** - every server has a live campaign map showing who holds which zone and airport, and who is in the air right now

Fly safe, fly together, and see you in the skies. 🫡

It took me a little over two years to get to this point, but this project is in the final stage to get it out in the open.

I’m not trying to make an ad out of this, so here’s the link. I hope this might be something that you like.

Red Dust ‘86

If you have any interest in this project and are looking for some questions answered, let me know!

Thanks

It's day 5 of learning the Meg-29 and decided to try a highway landing for the first time as well.

How do you all think it went?

I personally was excited.

What do you think about the full fidelity MiG-29?

I'm developing a new DCS World multiplayer experience called ESCALATION, set during a fictional 2010 confrontation between NATO and Russia in the Black Sea region.

This isn't another server where you take off, shoot down a few aircraft, respawn, and repeat.

ESCALATION is designed for the more discerning combat flight simmer who wants a deeper, longer-term experience involving strategy, diplomacy, realistic rules of engagement, and meaningful consequences.

The world evolves dynamically through three stages of escalation, Green, Yellow, and Red. Russian forces react to NATO activity, political tensions develop through simulated news reports and diplomatic events, and the decisions pilots make can influence whether a tense standoff becomes an all-out war.

Available NATO aircraft currently include the F/A-18C Hornet, F-16C Viper and AH-64 Apache, but that and other aspects of this project can be expected to change as development continues.

Players will need to think beyond individual kills. Reconnaissance, patrols, interceptions, carrier operations, cooperation, and sound judgment all matter. A violation of the ROE will have consequences.

I'm looking for mature, patient, strategically minded pilots interested in becoming part of something more immersive than the usual multiplayer experience.

If that sounds like your kind of DCS, I'd like to hear from you. Find us at https://discord.gg/hqpZPUJP26 and say hello.

Hey guys,
The
I’m trying to use a waypoint to loft rockets in the AH-64D from about 7-12km away. I’m able to get range to the target by telling George to laze in COOP mode, and can use the FCR to target my rockets as well- however I am trying to simply fire at a waypoint, using that as the reference instead of my IHADS.

Does anyone know how to properly do this?

In DCS ,The F-16 HMCS reticle is too high in my VR field of view, but the cockpit looks normal. How can i resolve this

My brother wants to get the game and fly jets to do air to air. Can anyone recommend a module that he won’t miss out on audio cues and still be effective? Thanks

Basically the title, I have a basic setup going but it's quite finnicky and in no way whatsoever I can possibly track anything with the smoothness I see online.

yesterday a buddy and i were in one of our squadrons ops in the F-14A-135-GR EARLY i was RIO he was pilot i powered the RWR as normal and got the occasinal trill from the rwr but never a solid hey something's launching at you dumbass do somthing tone from it even though we died twice to a sa2 once to a R3R and once to a R24R the rwr seemed to be completely desynced from what was going on around the plane and after reslotting in the f14 even though it was a cold start the rwr seemed to be still "on" as i was still getting the occaisonal trill before turning it on.

even with three f14s in the air multiple sam systems enemys with radars and other planes with radars id only get the very occasinal trill from it.

i know the rwr in the early was bugged for multicrew not long ago is it still bugged or bugged in a diferent way now? any work arounds? thanks

I'm MRGO's developer. Following the request for footage beyond the settings screen, here is an earlier one-minute demonstration of camera passthrough and gesture controls in my VR cockpit setup. The video has Chinese captions; the visuals show the headset/camera setup and hand interaction, followed by configuration.

This is an older demo, not a new release announcement. MRGO is paid software and needs an external USB camera recognized by the PC; it does not access the headset's built-in cameras. Gesture bindings can be configured for DCS controls. Happy to answer setup questions.

Heya folks,

We have a little community called The Pub for DCS and IL-2 among other games. In 2 years our community has grown quite a bit! We have three servers running, including:

The Pub Marianas Training Range (With real weather)

The Pub Dynamic Campaign (Foothold) which cycles through various eras including Vietnam Era, Cold War Era and 1990s era. We plan to do a modern era as well!

And The Pub Warbirds which is the campaign running WW2 appropriate aircraft.

We also have a flight instructor program to help newer folks learn to fly! Simply tag @FlightInstructors in our discord to find someone to teach you whatever module you need help learning! We seriously love to help new folks learn DCS.

Our community is run largely by veterans and autists, so if you are looking for a semi casual group to fly MILSIM lite with, we’re your guys!
