Just in case anyone missed these…

So cool looking, but I can’t help but think this is just going to bring VR users (like me) to their knees in terms of frame rates.
I hope not, flying around Dubai at night I get beautiful lighting but no loss of FPS, or any more than normal flying low in Dubai 
Saw a report that some VR users saw FPS gains by reverting to Nvidia 442.59 (two drivers back) - especially in regards to having the Hornet’s SA page active.
Tested myself on 2D and my max FPS went way up, but overall about the same - mind you, my settings are higher than typical VR setup.
Truth. Thank you for this. I hadn’t thought of it that way, but I really think you’re absolutely right.

Going to try now. My current driver is one behind the 442.59
Nice! Hangar bay shots look to be from bay 1, looking aft, then out to the starboard side. I don’t see the doors for the jet shop at the very aft end, but I definitely recognize the mezzanine all the way at the end of bay 3 (I have a funny story about that).
Interesting that we’re not seeing the hull number lighting on the island. Is that going to be added later?

Not sure if earlier ones are better or worse, but the latest two haven’t been good for my max FPS although the average/running FPS is about the same.
I dunno, once you’re under the deck, all the rest is not rendered, when you’re over the deck ,the insides are not rendered…
I wouldn’t worry too much.

Anyone noticed new clouds in the hangar shots?
I think I’m looking forward to new atmospherics more than the supercarrier, as it will impact everything in DCS.

I’m glad you know what he means by that. I have no idea.
Did I say something wrong?
[EDIT: Responding to @hanger200 below. All I meant is the CO clearly had the respect of a good portion of his ship. Or, at the very least, they, agreeing with the decision or not, wanted to give him a sendoff that helped lessen the sting. It was a touching moment. I am, outside this forum, a very politically opinionated person. But in this case I truly don’t know what the right move would have been. I know nothing, perhaps even less than nothing, about life in the US military. But I have many friends who were once sailors and officers. That and the fact that this event happened on my old home of Guam made it more touching for me than it would have been without those tangential experiences.
That’s like the cleanest hangar I have ever seen…and I’ve seen the hangar bays of CVN-65, CV-66, CV-67, CVN-68, CVN-69, CVN-71, CVN-73, CVN-74, CVN-76!

I guess that USN Captain wasn’t discharged because he wanted to help his shipmates, like some media want you to believe.
I’m guessing he broke protocol when reporting it.
Having a pandemia on a large military ship is bad. Reeeally bad. What’s actually even worse is alerting your enemies that a force multiplier is out of action.
I know it sounds cynical, but war often is…
But I absolutely agree that no military fighting unit is worth a damn without its personell.

There are USN dresscodes for emperors…? Isn’t that a bit weird?

I will just say that we’re hearing a different story told about who the letter went to and when, from SECNAV, than I’ve heard from folks who are on the TR right now. That’s all I’ll say. Hopefully the full truth comes out later during the inevitable hearings that will happen down the line.
Because there’s no airedales aboard yet to make a mess of everything. 
I remember from my time in the RAF, that any time we had a new Boss, the standard spiel was “my door is always open” when they first addressed the group… however, even though it was unsaid, we knew for darned sure that there had to be a very good reason for stepping outside the chain of command, and that you should accept that there would likely be personal consequences for doing so.

It is always great to hear your perspective on things like this Will. I didn’t progress much beyond the bottom rung of the ladder during my time in the RAF, so my perspective was always looking up
