Good afternoon everyone,

A few questions from a relatively new user- bear in mind I fly in VR exclusively.

First of all, is there any way to adjust the brightness of the selectable 'exterior' HUD? in VR it is awfully bright, and it kills the immersion.

Second, I have been so far unsuccessful at feathering the props of the P-38. I would like to fly on one engine without a huge drag penalty. Is this function modeled or not?

third, I find there is no elevator trim on the MB-339, and I have to constantly fight a significant pitch-up moment. Since the MB-339 is the only steam gauge jet in the game, I would really enjoy it a lot more if I could trim it out for level flight. (I prefer steam gauge instrumentation, and really enjoy the rear-seat view in the MB-339)

I find that all camera views aren't available for all aircraft in VR, but my clunky workaround is as follows: start in cessna 172, select preferred camera view, then switch over to another aircraft (BF-109, F4U corsair, P-38, for example) and the selected camera view will be retained until you switch it. Does anyone have a better solution? I'd be thrilled to be able to use all views, especially for the piston warbirds.

One last thing, its seems that the supercharger/turbocharger functionality in the P-38 and F4U Corsair are not modeled, is that correct? I'm not getting the speeds I would expect at higher altitudes.

thanks!

Is there any method for dimming the optional HUD in VR? at full brightness it really kills the immersion.

I didn't realize I was in the wrong forum, my apologies. I am using FS4.

Hey there everyone,

This is my first thread on the forum, I am a relatively new user to FS-4 and flight sim in general, I have accumulated about 45hrs total so far. I'm flying exclusively in VR, using only the oculus controllers to interact with the cockpit, no hotas or keyboard binding. A couple questions for you all. First, I can't seem to manually disengage the flaps in the f-15, they are always on. Is there a way to raise them? Also, while I'm at it, the aerimacchi mb-339 seems to have no trim adjustment and therefore is in a constant state of aggressive pitch-up which requires very attentive hand-flying to manage. Finally, how can I start the bf-109 from cold and dark?

Thanks everyone, I am having a blast learning everything.
