FWIW... just watched a video from C W Lemoine (ex F18 Pilot)... He is set up on VR now (with G2 actually) and says Trackir just doesn't give him the sense of depth and perception you need to have in the aircraft and flat screen takes away the 'feel' factor. Not my words

@SkateZilla Ok for that but I am using Reverb G2, i.e WMR + SteamVR and the utility has oculus ticked...and I can't tick SteamVR ... How do I change that? Ok found this 'rendering driver' under Oculus Rift Driver config. So this 'VR Interface Application' section only relates to oculus headsets and is irrelevant for WMR headsets?

Yes. 45fps in nevada take off and in Las Vegas low flying. Got MSAA x2 (could take it off I guess). But more importantly it stays fluid (fps not really important) and I do not have houses / buildings doing time warps when I fly past them

Haha. Think everyone flies from crowded airfields and above cities. If they don't they will.

One size fits all doesn't exist nor should it! Sweet spot on G2 is clearly smaller than on oculus . This is well documented and can be a deal breaker for some. Why you are not getting a silky smooth motion at 100% with your gear is beyond me though. I have only a 3080 and have no issue at all (I am now using WMR for steam VR reprojection) I get 90fps and 45 steady when the gear cannot get 90fps. Even without this I only had stutters at the very beginning before I started looking at settings properly. Anyway, if sweet spot bothers you more then it does not matter anyway

@AlpineGTA So what's the verdict so far? Still struggling with setup?

@speed-of-heat Gr8 settings. I get silky smooth action. No stuttering with low level flight, gr8 definition on the ground. Very good balance. Got a smaller rig than yours (see signature) but feels just right now.

Ok..need controllers...only access is through vr it seems

Thks for sharing this. Can I ask how you get to this WMR for steamVR settings? can't find the way

Many have reported issues with DCS and cross eye alignment on the G2, for some it is good while for others it is uncomfortable... Has anyone returned it to HP for replacement? If you did then curious to know if the problem was solved or still there with the replacement headset? I had to use the alignment tool in DCS for mine and considering returning it...hence the question.

I used a 3 monitor setup. 27'' central and 2x 24'' (one on each side). So gave a 'curved' cockpit view. Personally, I found the cockpit interaction with TrackIR a bit frustrating and frankly having 1 monitor or 3 was not that much of a difference in terms of experience. I did not want to go to VR because of the need to have sharp / crisp graphics for cockpit and spotting and headsets did not have a sufficient resolution for that / graphic cards were struggling. When the reverb G2 came out I made the plunge and glad I did. Transformed the experience, made cockpit much more practical/useable, made easier flying and off course the 3D and total immersion. Had it for a couple months and have not gone back to playing on screen once yet. We also have a quest2 but I find the resolution to be too low on it for my comfort. It is good but you effectively trade graphics for immersion with it which I did not want to do. Hope this helps.

It will depend on cockpits. For me I can't use the INS panel on a mirage without zooming on the Quest 2. In the harrier, the MFD is also not readable without zooming most of the time (reflections etc). most of the other stuff is normally pretty readable. It is not super sharp but clear enough.

asking myself the same question

hehe...thks for these tips...did not know about the nifty Ctrl+Pause Ok tried again with M2000 guns guns guns... right I can see/spot like you. I get 40-80fps. Not sure where to turn ASW off so left as is. funny that in oculus link graphic prefs my slider's max reads 1.5x but is at the same resolution than yours...anyways. I think you will enjoy the G2 ... u gonna be king of spotting. Seriously it is much sharper on the G2. (BTW I have visib range at extreme). Also I find the G2 is much more comfortable. The Quest2 (stock strap) hurts on the forehead I find.

This AlpineGTA ... will try this and report back. BTW... to save me time...how do you take your screenshots (key presses) and what do u use to display fps (I just have the Nvidia overlay but not gr8 and not showing in VR headset)? Thks

Am with you there. Fps doesn't really matter as long as it stays smooth

I’d be interested in your settings for the quest 2 then...wondering if i could improve mine (have not looked too much as I reverted quickly to G2

Baltic sorry...It is of course Coup D'etat M2... not Ottoma courrier... mixing my campaigns...well your campaigns

Hey AlpineGTA, so when you get your G2 check out what Pride37 and dburne summed up in this thread Setup is more involved with G2 but once done it is great. Happy to help you with overall settings if you find yourself into a bind. Important to know is that DCS deals badly with the G2 cross eye alignment and so, for comfort, check out BigNewy's cross eye alignment tool in the forum... swap top and bottom and maybe make left and right symmetrical. After that it is all about finding the right shaders to use for best visual enjoyment. One thing I cannot do properly with Quest 2 is spotting planes and it is a breeze with the G2... that is a very important part of flying DCS and numerous posts in here complain about the spotting side of DCS.

Question about the VR section of the updater: In the application settings tab under VR interface Applications I see oculusVR client and SteamVR client (I have a quest 2 and a WMR Reverb G2) but the oculus has a ticked box next to it and the SteamVr has an unticked box next to it. I cannot tick/untick any of those... not sure what I am supposed to do there and how do I instruct to use one and not the other? anyone knows?

@baltic_dragon, been flying this 2nd mission and my wingman got lost... We have to drop our bombs on the C130 but I went first, destroyed it and then instructed my wingman to engage primary... guess primary does not exist anymore because he went wandering around the region aimlessly. Also some comm missing after that... should get a call (from awacs?) re bandits incoming but only got the message to report sighting
