I've tried that unfortunately and it makes no odds. Yes, tracking is fine in wmr. As I mentioned using the older packaged version of the dll also still works, which is what's so confusing.

Hey, many thanks for looking. Understood, I'll grab the latest and try easy comms. [emoji1303]

Many thanks [emoji1303]

Just tried mission 1, and I can't get the comms menu to come up. It works fine in all other Harrier missions. I am using the latest OB. Mappings all look correct and as mentioned works in other Harrier campaigns without issue. Also, the download link on user files has another archive within the archive with the same mission names, which ones are we supposed to use?

Many hanks, yes you're right (guess who wasn't wearing his specs!) However, this now launches VR BUT as per using Skates App and "VR ON" the HMD has no effect on movement. It's just a static menu screen.

Thanks, tried that, and it still launches in 2D with system-wide installer set to OpenComposite and DCS set to OpenComposite... I give up . For today

That file has already been zapped. Do you mean these? Because the 64bit DLL also just launches in 2D when palced in the bin directory...

I think what's confusing me is that it's no dice for VR with anything other than the standalone (and older) DLLs...The system-wide installer worked fine previously too. Other than IL2 the only other thing that came down was a cumulative update for Win 11, and not a preview. So I'm stumped. I mean I can carry on using the stand-alone version that works, but at some point I'm going to want to upgrade as things evolve I'm sure.

I always start Mixed reality portal, in fact usually when I power on the HMD it auto launches, then just run the DCS_Updater.exe. And it comes straight up into VR mode. I've always run it this way tbh. If I want pancake mode, I use Skates util and run "VR OFF".

I haven't no, still running the G2 and never required it previously. Understand it's required for the Aero though.

You still haven't said which LMAV you are using. If it's the Large Warhead variant...irrespective, you can't self lase.

OK, the plot thickens. If I use Skatezillas app to Launch "VR ON" it works! But I've never launched DCS this way. The system settings page don't seem to reflect anything I've set, so I guess I need to work out how to "Launch VR" with my usual VR settings, which are saved to preset 2. I still have no idea why it doesn't launch into VR using the normal .exe though. Scratch that it launched the mirror, but the HMD wasn't working. Realised It was set to Oculus, changed it to SteamVR and it launches in 2d

Ah I see. I've run the repair but the same. Going to try and zap IL2, but not sure if that's going to make any difference.

It's a good point, and it is the only thing that has changed. But I would have thought disabling and re-enabling Open composite system-wide via the util would have reversed this. Also, the standalone DLLs available via the "per game" section of the site also exhibit the same issue when dropped into the DCS bin directory. However, going back to an earlier packaged version of the DLL (I think I got them from a post way further up) works as it should and VR launches no problem. Per-Game DLL that doesn;t work - https://znix.xyz/OpenComposite/download.php?arch=x64 This is the version (standalone in bin directory) that works And this one is the latest from the link above, that just launches in 2D It's also much smaller Is the D3Dcompiler.dll file deleted? Also launch open composite.exe then select load and make sure the dcs icon shows up under the open composite runtime. You can right clock it and select 'always use open composite runtime'. Yeah, the presence of that file causes a hard crash..I’ve renamed it, so I don't believe that's the issue. DCS is set to use Open Composite in the system-wide installer UI I'm going to try a full repair and see how that goes. Update: No difference after full repair, either the stand alone DLL or going the system-wide route just results in DCS launching in 2D...bloody odd!

Yeah, it is.

It's bizzare I know. All was fine and working with system wide and local... I installed IL2 and system wide nor newest local versions work. Older local version its fine still. I need to dig.

I've got an odd issue, so previously using the system-wide installer OR the standalone (DCS local file version) I could launch DCS in VR without issue and all was good. However, after updating open composite (system-wide OR using the standalone DLLs) DCS never launches in VR just 2D. If I switch back to older versions of the stand alone DLLs then VR is fine. Any ideas?

Are you using the LMAV listed as Large Warhead? If so, you can't self lase using those...try the LMavs listed as CCD (sorry not in front of DCS at the minute so can't remember the specifics). I think you used to be able to self lase with these, hence the reason some older missions still have them loaded, even though you need a JTAC or similar to lase for you now. This drove me nuts!!

Thanks. Still awaiting delivery but collecting "info" up front [emoji1303]

You're welcome. I think I stumbled upon this fact in a YT tutorial when I first started with the Harrier a few months ago. I'm sure it's likely referenced in Chucks guide.

Are you using the previously discussed "vsync" option in base to lock at 45fps?

Still appears to work here. If using open composite it appears to introduce more motion repro "wobbles" but works fine generally.

Too late to feed the troll [emoji23]

Will try it out, thanks.

This appears to be broken again with the latest OB's
