Thanks guys for all your replies! Many of you have really good headsets and computers, your VR-experience must be truly amazing! I can't really imagine what you are experiencing! What makes me suprised is that even a guy like me on a small budget can have an truly great VR-experience aswell. Playing DCS in VR is truly nothing like playing on a 2D-monitor is really is like two completely different simulators. Not to create massive hype, but it truly is like two different simulators. I have made a post of my VR-settings, after 4 days of tweaking I got it to work great, with stable 60-70 FPS in singleplayer and 50-50 FPS in multiplayer, a HUGE thanks to Virtual Desktop! Virtual Desktop truly is black magic, I gained a huge performence boost and stability improvement in multiplayer, it really is night and day.

Hi guys! I bought my VR-headset 7 days ago and have been adjusting my settings every day since then. I finally got it working really good and though I might share in case anyone else been having trouble. Having a medium budget PC and VR-headset is no problem to start playing DCS in VR, it works really good, you have to do a lot of tweaking to get it working, perhaps sharing my settings might serve as a fast-shortcut for you. Performence: 60 - 70 stable FPS on Germany Cold War Map in singleplayer, 50-70 stable FPS on multiplayer Cacasus. My Pixel Density Setting in DCS: 1.1 My VR-headset and computer: Headset: Meta Quest 3S Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core Memory: 32 GB Storage: 2 TB The most important thing you can do is to buy and install Virtual Desktop. It costs 25 dollars and is a massive performence improvment to online stability and to FPS. Virtual Desktop works great with Steam (I am playing DCS from Steam). Do not use SteamVR. I had huge problems, particularly playing on multiplayer servers with disconnects and crashes all the time, but with Virtual Desktop Streamer no problem at all!

I would probably not recognise it myself. I remember the old and empty casino though. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Try assigning an axis to it. If you cant, not sure what else to say as you really should have some hardware specifically for this in VR. Its hard enough to fly it with hardware, cant imagine wanting to do it with a mouse in vr...

I haven’t made that decision with Eagle products yet but certainly 3rd party devs I’m very cautious about now.

Very cool. But how many players have a setup like that which would make such a game feature worthwhile? Even triple screen setups are so rare it seems ED doesn’t feel like supporting that is worthwhile. And the A-10 does have blister canopy with an all-around view. The ability to see your 6:00 must have been considered worthwhile.

Just an update, they told me to try some instant missions and missions which I did with no problems. I tried mission 1 again and I'm still crashing to the desktop. Not sure now if its the campaign or ED. They haven't said anymore yet either. I can't attach a track file cause the game fully crashes.

I have version 1.41.2 Using quadviews If I want to supersample the Foveated section in the center of the FOV to 150% is the following the correct method? Note: "Gaze area resolution" can not be set past 100. This would be the logical way to supersample the foveated part of the display... but no. 1) Set image quality "CUSTOM" set slider to 150% 2) Set quadviews "Gaze area resolution to 100% This means that the whole image is now 150% boosted and I would have to reduce "peripheral area resolution" by 50% to get it back to the same value as it was when "set image quality" was at 100%??? Is this the proper way to SS the foveated section in PP? Thanks!

Wow, I did a mission with my squad and with SS at 1 l49% (stupid slider!) I was seeing over 70 FPS on the super carrier deck and up to 120 above a few thousand feet over Syria. This was MP with a very heavily scripted mission with Skynet etc running. Awesome work! @RealDCSpilot thank you so much for your settings,I will investigate. @JMW I don't think I have SSAO enabled,I have DLSS and DLAA but I can check tomorrow. I certainly don't see anything as obvious as the box in your video. @VirusAM for brightness, off the top off my head, try the PSVR app. On my system it's always visible in the toolbar at the bottom of SteamVR. I'll double check that. I know mine is at about 90%

I would love to have this on our A10 simpit. We have a 270° screen. In the A-10, it would not be necessary to look at your 6. The 270° would be good enough... Gesendet von meinem SM-S928B mit Tapatalk

That's not addressing the issue. The problem is if you command any search, AI George will find the yellow "Unknown" outpost or workshop you added to a FARP in 25 km distance, while you want him to find the red infantry you currently look at that's lobbing tracers and RPGs at the blue MRAPs 4 km directly in front of you! The list now shows a couple yellow buildings in the distance and nothing else, so you have George scan for targets again, and again and again, only to get the same yellow buildings from the FARP now 20 km away, while you get too close for comfort to the AAA and infantry still directly in front of you. Even if you adjust the list display to Hostile & Unknown only, the far away and out of weapons range unknown outpost, is still clogging the target list. Now, with the new scan PHS Zone, why is George listing unknown targets 20-25 km away, if I clearly look at an orchard 3.5 km in front? If we had an option to force the AI (like telling our CP/G in real life) to only report HOSTILE (red) targets and ignore neutral, blue and unknown, especially out of weapons range(!) for building the target list, that would be great.

Me too, but for me while no happy ending with Razbam, no more buy.

Wow those look fantastic!!! That shark looks big! Can't wait! Shame about the AH-6 but what can we do I think you mentioned at some point the VAP might be getting updated too?

I think my gun effects telemetry is not being output by DCS correctly. I'm using the Moza AB9 and MH16. The reason I say this is on a second computer all the effects are working. On the first computer the effects are also working (canopy, gear, buffet and stalls, etc) Is there a telemetry lua somewhere for DCS that I can check this? Thanks.

First of all, I don't know why you're looking into my private life, secondly, this isn't the place for such a discussion, thirdly... finish it yourself.

Any news on if the taxi bug is getting a fix soon? was on the carrier today and it’s almost impossible to turn her 180 from parking to the rear for take off. On the ground with no wind it’s slightly easier but 9/10 I need almost full power to get her rolling forwards and then hit a wheel brake but she lifts the tail off and kills the prop. The only way I can get her to taxi OK is if it’s a long smooth taxi run and you can dab the brakes and get her changing direction. But if you need to spin her or move her in a tight space I can’t seem to get it done. It feels like the individual wheel brake is too powerful and brakes the whole aircraft and that tail wheel isn’t freely moving. Takl wheel is unlocked. I’m using VKB rudders with no brakes on them so I use MH HOTAS two-way as left and right brakes. Works perfectly with the jug. Right now the taxi issue limits what you can do on the ground with the Corsair.

Saw in his Discord yesterday that Sim Haptics won’t be getting anymore updates till January. Might check SimShaker for Aviators (with sound module add-on for the ButtKickers). Those guys are on top of things.

Ну оно должно быть без фанатизма. А лучше всего дать выбор. Оно ведь и по контексту миссий может подходить\не подходить. Так же как сделали при выборе кабины на другом языке, там некоторые приборы другие стоят.

I get these shades in all jets. They do not show up in a printscreen, so I replicated the look. They are symmetrical, place in the middle. -One per eye.

Он будет доступен Вам только когда у вас появится дополнение "Огневой рубеж"

When you guys use quadviews with the VR1 do you notice a square that follows your vision in the center of the FOV? Is that a quadviews issue or a dcs issue or something else?

Это просто придание живости и разнообразия игровой картинке. Как везеринг в моделизме.

in VR mode I can't interact with this lever at all. I used to be able to control it, now it's impossible to select and use
