Interesting. I may have to revisit the Marianas map and see if it is flyable in VR now.

Interesting. I use the F/A-18 SuperCarrier Cold Start - Persian Gulf mission with fpsVR as my benchmark each time. With just SteamVR Home disabled, I noticed only about 500MB freed when in the mission. When I added the "Empty Room" to WMR it freed up an additional 1.5GB. I have gone back and forth on these settings several times and the VRAM usage/savings is consistent. I am hoping Speed-of-heat can check this out with his great attention to detail/analysis.

I found this on YouTube and I tried these settings. I got about 2GB of VRAM freed up on my 3090.

I realize this is an extremely old post, but is there any chance we can get the same mouse controls that are on the Mossie starter/coil for the Spitfire? For VR users it would be nice.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did a DCS repair and I was able to end the mission.

Any word on a fix? Ran into the same problem today.

Make sure Voice Attack and Windows are using your VR microphone. On my system there are two microphone settings. One for my normal system and one for the VR headset.

Yeah, not the height of fashion, but $30 compared to $130, you make allowances. If you don't like swapping glasses/headset, have other family members who use the headset, or just want try out a VR headset without spending a lot of money on new eyeglass frames or inserts this may be for you.

Perhaps a modified version of the VR canopy limits used in Aces High III. When your head hits the canopy limit the whole cockpit view just moves in the direction of the head movement. This lets you know you have hit the canopy limits without causing disorientation. It also does not give the VR player any visual advantage. Modify that feature with redefined head tracking limits when the canopy is open. Just an idea

Thank you very much! Looks like this program is deprecating.

I cannot get this program to start up correctly. When I start up I get the error: System.Argument.NullException:Value cannot be Null Reading the past posts this error was fixed by update to version 1.8.0.6, but I cannot seem to update Kneeboard builder. I checked the automated update box on set up. If I don't set a file path for DCS install then I can get into the program. Clicking on "Help" and "Update" within the builder program does nothing. Any suggestions? Is this app still viable post 2.7 DCS? Thanks

I found a cheap alternative to VR prescription lens inserts. One thing that bothered me about my VR lens inserts is that every time I took the helmet off for a moment (get a beverage etc.), I needed to swap my glasses with the helmet. I bought a pair of optical swim goggles with my distance prescription (in my case -5.00 in both eyes). These goggles are low profile and fit in my Reverb G2 with plenty of distance between the goggles and the VR lens. They even fit with the "FrankinFov Deluxe" mod. Now I can take the headset off and still have my distance vision. The best part is that these are stock diopter lenses so they cost about $30. I chose the "inner eye" fit, but there are several options to suit different head shapes. I have worn them for a couple hours in the headset and found them comfortable. If you are near-sighted and require the same distance prescription in both eyes then you might want to check them out. Here is a link to the ones I got: https://www.amazon.com/Speedo-Unisex-Adult-Goggles-Optical-Vanquisher/dp/B085GGJM3L Hope this helps

Just ordered my new cable under warranty with no questions asked. The support tech stated cables are normally considered "consumables" and do not need to be returned. The exception would be if you received your new cable along with a prepaid return label. The "Return Procedure" is just a generic advisory. This is the second time I have dealt with HP support and each time I have been very impressed with their high quality of customer service!

Just make sure HP has a 30-day return policy if you don't like it. VR is VERY personalized and the experience is not a "one-size-fits-all" endeavor. Amazon, Walmart, and Microsoft all have 30-day "no questions asked" return policies.

Vaicom also has a kneeboard extension that allows you to dictate. Just bring up the kneeboard, tell it to "start dictate" then read off the coords. The coords will be in your notes for the rest of the mission.

Yes, Wags on YouTube is a great way to start. You can then search YouTube and other sources for more specific info. I would suggest you create a simple mission to practice with the different features of the radar. Set up your F/A-18 in air start, throw in an AWACs for spotting, and then several enemy aircraft (at least 100 miles out, unarmed, and at Rookie level to begin with). Once you begin to feel comfortable with air to air then add ground targets to the mission to work on the air to ground radar. On the practice mission I created, I gave myself the choice of air or carrier start, an air tanker for refueling, then air/ground/sea targets grouped in different sections of the map with waypoints to each section. By creating your own training mission you learn to use the mission editor and the surprise element is taken out of the mission so you can concentrate on the aircraft systems.

Showing the same gains on frame times. Little bit more shimmer, but worth it.

So can the FSR be used in conjunction with Kegetys shaders and ReshadeVR? Also want to add my thanks to you for your hard work on this thread. It is always my "go to" when I get the urge to tweak my G2.

The fix for me was to go into VA options (the wrench bottom right of the VA window), go to "Audio" and uncheck "Notification Sounds" box top center of the window. I think it got turned on after updating VA.

Thank you Woflman that fixed it! I must have missed that in the guide and never would have guessed it was related. Thanks again

I have a strange problem here. I have a mission I created that allows me to practice against ground, sea, and air targets. I cannot get the F-14 guns to fire in the mission (A/A missiles work fine). I ensure I have loaded the guns (tried both pre-load out and re-arming). The round counter is adjusted. The Master Arm is on, A/A mode selected, and even tried ACM with no luck. The F-14 fires guns fine in "instant action", so I know my controls are set up correctly. In the same self created mission I can use guns in both the F-5E and F/A-18. The AI aircraft also have no problem firing guns. Any ideas? Thanks for your time

I noticed that shortly after I launch a Phoenix, Jester will call out the missile as inbound and yell for evasive. Granted I am new to the F-14B, but I don't recall this happening prior to the new update.

Last night I ran into this problem as well. I have tried all the VoIP settings (restarting each time) with no success. Everything was working correctly in SP with both the F/A-18 and F-14B modules. I was using the latest version of Vaicom with the 32bit VA. Both DCS Open Beta and the F-14B modules are the latest update. The problem arose when I disabled the AIRIO extension to check a setting in the F-14B module. After that, both the F/A-18 and F-14B have the problem. Re-enabling AIRIO did not fix the problem. Updating VA to 64bit made no difference. This morning, while composing this post, I wanted to check all my aircraft modules for troubleshooting purposes. I enabled AIRIO and tried "instant action" with my F-5 module (takeoff) and everything worked normally. I then tried "instant action" on the F/A-18 and F-14B modules (both on takeoff)....no problems. I went back to the same mission I had created, that had the problems, and tried both the F/A-18 and F-14B modules...everything works again. MP VoIP slider is set to "Broadcast Parallel" and the "TX Link MP only" box is checked. I am holding my breath around the Vaicom settings and not touching anything! I HATE INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS! Hope this helps

Might also try Aces High III. Free download and offline play. The VR implementation is pretty good especially the VR keyboard. https://www.hitechcreations.com I have also been enjoying Star Wars Pinball available on Steam. This title can also be played with an Xbox controller.

I bought the "2.0 Ultimate Comfort" set for my G2 from VRBalance. I have worn it on several sessions, each lasting over three hours, and found it to be very comfortable. It eliminated the top strap hot spot I was feeling. It also seems to require less sweet spot adjustment when taking it off and putting it on. I did find that it made me feel a little hotter and use a small desktop fan to blow on my face. https://vrbalance.net/ Hope this helps
