    I remember the pain! It helped me as well to tell myself to relax. I tensed up my shoulders a lot and was having the wrong posture. I was also trying to glance at the fuel indicator to see how much I still had to go and ofcourse lost my position on the boom. What does not help is when you do AAR during checkrides or when your FL or Wingman is looking and waiting. Don't worry about that and just relax. We all were there. It really will come by time. The most important thing is to learn to fly very steady in formation with the tanker and after a while you will start noticing that your eyes/hands will take over and correct without you thinking too much about it. You can just try to fly with your cockpit between the engines for example and stay there. Or just set up another A-10 to fly straight and level and try to get as close as you can from all kinds of angles; below, besides, softly touching it with your wingtip etc. It all helped me to become more comfortable flying really close and in formation. When I am on the boom I am laser focused on the boom movements and the warning colors. You need to learn how to recognize being too slow/fast vs being too low/high, this both has impact on the colors on the boom. This comes by time. In the corner of my eyes I see the wings of the tanker above my canopy rail and I notice it when it starts making a turn, which is when can anticipate the boom to move as well. Very important is to try and anticipate movements and not try to respond too strong, because then you overcompensate and get into a difficult position to recover from. When you are thinking about responding, then you are too late. Most of the thinking I do is telling myself to stay relaxed and check my neck, shoulders, arms etc. It is very intense to do AAR for 4 minutes straight. Just stick with it, get used to the movements of the tanker/boom and how your jet responds to your inputs. slowly you should feel progression and at a certain moment it just clicks. I only fly VR, don't know if you do, but it really helps with your SA and you notice all the small movements of the tanker, I think easier than when you fly 2D. I also changed stick and throttle and especially the new throttle gives me a bit better control of thrust. If you are interested about what correct positions look like, check out my channel, I have a load of AAR videos on there. Some better than others, since I was also just learning. Stick with it! You will be rewarded in the end.

    Same here. The bug is still alive. A-10C using Varjo Aero.

    Thanks for the explanation

    We also experienced similar, at least that was the impression.

    Great work! Where did you find these ILS Freqs? I fly from Al Dhafra in DCS and we are not using ILS.

    From what I see it could definately be nice for the guys with the real simpits to run the augmented reality, if it would become available somehow for DCS, or if the Varjo software would take care of it somehow. I would like the wider FOV and if there would be a better performance in relation to the Aero.. But I guess we have to wait for the next Aero version.

    I somehow always find my way back to this tread after a not having practiced this for a while. Very helpful, even 10 years after the original writeup. Thanks guys!

    Still not upgrading to Windows 11 I heard many fellow DCS pilots upgraded to Windows 11 without any performance loss, so I was about to follow. But after seeing this video I decided to stay on W10 a while longer. Once there are clear advantages to upgrade, I will follow.

    Nice one!

    Fly high Don, you will be dearly missed.

    Further improved on my PC's performance by tweaking some things; Switching on DLSS with 2.9 (quality setting). Still tweaking some other DCS settings) Adjusted QVFR resolution using multipliers to almost match my Varjo Foveated Rendering resolution (pixel count). Turned back on Hyperthreading (called SMT inside my Bios) Disabled HPET (was already disabled inside Windows, but not inside my bios) Updated my Chipset drivers Disabled Psycho Visual Tuning inside OBS encoder settings Disabled a bunch of bloat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmbsLnp3iIA&t=10s&pp=ygUcMjAyMyB3aW5kb3dzIDEwIG9wdGltaXphdGlvbg%3D%3D NVCP enabled thread optimalization (was auto) and set MAX FRAME to 1.000 (was off) NVCP disables MFAA NVCP disabled FXAA - was off already NVCP disabled AA transparency = was off already NVCP disabled Gamma Correction Undervolted my 5800X3D with -30% on each core with BO2 Tuner https://github.com/PrimeO7/How-to-undervolt-AMD-RYZEN-5800X3D-Guide-with-PBO2-Tuner/blob/main/README.md The service does not work. I created a shortcut and added the settings in the shortcut. Cleaned my 'saved games' folder. Slow repair, checking files. Here are my settings. Hope they are of any help. nullnull

    Anyone got changing NVG_SIZE and NVG_VERT_POS to work?
  14. Ready
    Tried it but doesn't work in my system. No matter what I do. Changed the NVG values to see if it made a difference, but it did not. I think the original DCS NVG is showing. Not the mod. Any way to troubleshoot this?
  15. Ready
    Great! Thanks
  16. Ready
    For me not working with 2.9 anymore.

    Hi sure! OBS is having quite an impact on the system. It depends a bit on your own hardware setup. In my case the hardware encoder gives me best performance. First try setting the OBS settings to simple and see what it does to your performance.

    Search for small surround speaker stands/mounts. There are many out there

    I find having the base stations on my desk sometimes makes them lose track and having to sync. When using the throttle or some movement on the desk stuff shakes just a little bit too much for them to stay synced. So I am going to putthem on a wall.

    Nice! Will check it out once I return from holidays.

    I recently got myself 3 of these from Renkforce to replace my collection of other boxes. Easily mountable and this way I can switch on/off the Aero by itself, or together with the base stations. The only issue is that the connectors are horizontal and with the larger Aero and Vive base station adapters I lose 2 ports per device. For me no biggie.

    OBS Changed my OBS encoder from AV1 to NVENC HEVC, which looks more stable.

    Varjo Aero I upgraded my G2 headset to Varjo Aero. I kept having issues with the G2 and after talking and talking to some well respected Aero users I decided to make the jump. The difference between G2 and Aero is unbelievable, visual quality and performance-wise. Worth every penny imho. Am tinkering with a bunch of settings. Thanks @mbucchia for the new QVFR, which is amazing. https://github.com/mbucchia/Quad-Views-Foveated/wiki Currently hoping to get OBS-Mirror back online.

    Hi do you have any update on this item? Much appreciated

    Hi guys, I am on the fence about the Aero and a few uncertainties are holding me back. If I get an Aeo, can I get; - smooth visuals, no stutters (willing to turn down visual details) - smooth OBS recordings, no microstutters (willing to turn down details) - OpenKneeboard visible inside my recordings (I get the impression that it currently is not possible with Aero, but unsure.) I have a G2, 4090 and 5800x3D and record everything in OBS in 4k. I mainly fly multiplayer in the A-10C close to the ground and I use VR-kneeboards a lot. I have motion reprojection switched off because this causes too many artifacts inside the kneeboards. This overall configuration costs me quite some CPU power and makes DCS CPU bound on the ground. In order to have things clear and stable in the G2, I lowerered my G2 frequency to 60Hz, which gives me strobing inside the headset, but smooth(er) recordings. I use an OBS mirror created by Jabbah. I would like to return to 90Hz in the headset and wonder if that can be achieved with the Aero, because I kind of get the impression that the Aero takes care of clearing things up quite a bit in comparison to the G2. I have a thread on the forum about optimizing my 4090 for VR and get the feeling that the best next step is to upgrade from G2 to Aero. For me the upgrade in visuals (FOV and sharpness) are very appealing, but secondary to the stability and smoothness that I might get, both in the headset and in the videos. So I am very interested in learning if Aero users who fly multiplayer and record videos are able to get smooth and stutter free experiences. I would like to hear about previous G2 owners' experiences with stutters between the G2 and Aero headsets, in combination with OBS recordings, especially after the Multi Threading and Dynamic Foveated Rendering updates, which I understand make a difference. Thanks for all the help, much appreciated.
