Removing the HMD from the F-16 increases JDAM accuracy

My test setup was the following:

-air spawn at 20 000 feet in front of the Caucasus cross, release at around 0.9IMN, 8.5 nautical miles

-laser was on starting from 10 miles, aiming at the base of the BTR

-GBU-38 with FMU-152

The result was that the no HMD setup had 2 drops out of 16 that had miss distance of 30 or higher, while the HMD installed setup had 7. All things considered, the weapon performed much better with the HMD being uninstalled.

Iraq map archeological features

A bit of background. I'm close to 58 and when I was a teenager my dad worked on the International airport in Iraq on the big hanger complex with associated buildings. He was assigned to this project by the dutch company he worked for. In a period of about 8 years I spend summers in Iraq between 1976 and 1985. We spend a lot of time sightseeing and I have been up north, Babylon, Ur and other archeological sites.

I managed to get access to the Iraq map and besides being quite disappointed in the quality, I can't seem to find any sites worth flying by. I was wondering if there is a map/mission with POI for this map.

Enclosed the hangars my dad worked on. During one summer some americans were assembling and test flying Hughes 500D/E (?) on the ramp in front of the hangar. Best helicopter flying I have ever seen. Awesome.

Looking for (preferably) chill wing!

Hello aviators!

I am a current a320 pilot in northern Europe with 10 years of experience so some knowledge of the genre. Used to fly the original IL2 and BlackShark back in the day, but now looking for a group with preferably light requirements of activity. I have a couple of kids to raise and work is somewhat random, so cannot commit to very strick schedules unfortunately.

I do have HOTAS, track ir and comms and at the moment syria and f16, a10, p51 and black shark but of course willing to buy what needed. The new IL2 Korea and Il2 GB is also fine.

I’d like to think myself as a quite chill dude and would just like to have some guys/gals to fly with, my knowledge about dcs planes is very barebone but I have been enjoying the f16 very much recently, just don’t know the systems yet but I am working on it. I am also willing to learn just about everything be it Eindecker or f14 RIO.

Thank you and may the wind ever be at your back!
Except maybe during landing and takeoff.

I'm not sure if this is allowed but I recently bought a Vietnam-era Mig21 canopy as a display piece and is now bored and wish to let it go (definitely not because my wife forced me to). Anyone of you guys interested?

DCS: MB-339 - Binocular Feature - Early Development Preview

Following some recent and very positive interactions on

Reddit’s Hoggit, a few users suggested that a binocular-style feature could be a nice addition to the DCS: MB-339, especially for Cold War scenarios and FAC-related roles.

We liked the idea, so we decided to run some early experiments — and the initial results have been quite promising.

Attached is a screenshot from our current tests. Of course, this is still at a very early stage: the lens effect is preliminary, and what is shown in the screenshot does not represent the final feature.

This is not a major feature, and it does not require an excessive amount of development resources, but we believe it can still add further value and versatility to the module, especially in those mission profiles where visual spotting plays an important role.

In parallel, bug fixing continues as usual. We have already closed the patch that will be distributed with the next DCS update, and we are confident that future releases will also bring additional key bindings and quality-of-life improvements.

More details will come as development progresses.

Thinking about getting a new HMD. Was waiting for the Steam Frame but the more i think about it, the less it makes sense.

I was thinking about retiring my old HTC Vive because its mostly why i don't play DCS anymore (the readability being the primary issues, closely followed by awful performances) so i thought about the Frame that is coming but the more i think about it, the worse it get. Mostly because it will cost a lot more than anticipated because of features i 100% don't need (i only play PCVR games so CPU, Ram, Storage that are causing crazy prices are useless to me.) and also still have those Base stations 1.0 hanged on their supports in my room.

Valve index could have been great but it has been discountinued isn't it ?

What alternatives would you suggest ?

TrackIR cockpit clicking tips?

In DCS World, when looking around the cockpit I feel like it's really hard to keep my head completely still to click stuff. Like, I miss one in three switches/buttons because my head moves a bit as I go to click. Are there any tips for this? How have you all solved it? Just set the sensitivity way down? Is there maybe a pause-head-tracking button to bind? Keybinds that snap the view to certain quadrants of the cockpit while pausing head tracking? etc

Any tips appreciated!

I made a free OpenTrack head tracker using the motion sensor inside Sony headphones

I wrote a free open-source Windows tool that turns compatible Sony headphones and earbuds into a head tracker for OpenTrack.

Sony built motion sensors into some of these headphones for spatial audio, but Windows does not normally expose that data in a useful way for PC sims. My app reads the head-tracking sensor over the normal Bluetooth connection and sends yaw, pitch, and roll into OpenTrack.

I only own Microsoft Flight Simulator, but since this outputs through OpenTrack, it should be compatible with DCS: World, Falcon BMS, and a ton of other sims/games that already support OpenTrack/TrackIR-style input.

Confirmed working headphones so far:

Sony WH-1000XM5
Sony WH-1000XM6
Sony WF-1000XM6
Sony ULT WEAR / WH-ULT900N

GitHub/source/download:
https://github.com/NicholasSlattery/sony-head-tracker (v2.0 just released)

The Sony WF-1000XM5 or LinkBuds models should also work, but I haven't been able to test them.

[DCS] VR visuals jittery when close to quickly moving objects relative to me

Solved. Reduced VR headset refresh rate to what my computer could produce.

Looking to get this distracting visual effect solved. I don't have this issue in other games.

Inside the cockpit everything looks fine but when I get close to objects that are moving relative to me whether terrain, other planes, or deck crew on the carrier they have a jitteriness to them like they are phasing between dimensions. This is more apparent with quickly moving objects. I've tried different video settings from low to high with no differences. When I'm on high settings I'm getting 60-80fps.

I had to photoshop the images to replicate what I'm seeing because screenshots do not show the issue. [ignore the F14 cockpit, I did not mask it]

Hardware

  • Windows 11
  • AMD 5800X3D
  • 64GB RAM
  • M.2
  • 5090
  • OG Pimax Crystal with Quadviews enabled

Full Fidelity Shenyang J-11A for DCS World - Possible?

Hi all,
I’ve been wondering whether a full‑fidelity Shenyang J‑11A module for DCS World is realistically possible under China’s current legal and classification framework (as of July 2026).

I know this question has come up many times, but there’s a new detail worth considering: the J‑11A was officially retired from frontline service in December 2025. Obviously, retirement doesn’t automatically mean full declassification, but the aircraft first entered service in 1998 and is now nearly three decades old.

So my question is:
Does the combination of age and retirement make it more feasible for a developer like Eagle Dynamics or Deka Ironworks to legally produce a full‑fidelity, highly realistic J‑11A?

I’m not assuming the jet fully declassified, but I’m curious whether its status today makes it more viable than it was a few years ago.

I would love to hear thoughts from people who follow PLA equipment policy or have insight into how DCS handles Chinese platforms.

X-56 Inverted Throttle Problem, Help Needed.

Hi All,

Hopefully this is the place to go for assistance with peripherals.

I'm currently a little bit confused with what's going on with my X-56 throttle right now. No matter what I do pushing forward on the throttle is 0% and pulling back is 100% it is the exact same when invert is ticked on or off in-game (DCS).

Has anyone encountered this issue and is there a fix?

Edit:

I believe I have fixed it in the X-56 software, the 'X-SAT' value was 1000, ensuring that is 0 means pushing forward is now correct.
