I've been playing VR only for the last two years but recently wanted to start using head tracking again. I have a Grass Monkey IR puck with a PS3 Webcam. Whenever I load into DCS with OpenTrack running, I get double images. One stays still and the other tracks with the tracking software. It's a huge flickering mess. I remember I used to get this issue from time to time, and there was an easy fix, but I cannot remember what it was. Everything is tracking perfectly fine in the OpenTrack preview window and it looks like all view controls are correctly bound inside of DCS. I also get this issue in MSFS. I have not seen any mention of this as I searched around the web. Any ideas?

I've never purchased or installed the MB.339

I just downloaded this to try it out. The program crashes every time I try to create a custom kneeboard. Crashes to desktop, no error message or anything. Does anyone else have this issue?

Well I'll be dammed, I feel a bit silly now. I created a shortcut from the .exe in the bin-mt folder but there must have been some issue with it. I clicked on the .exe in the file explorer and it works. Thanks much!

I just got back in town, downloaded the newest OB update, and am trying to get multi-threading to work. When I try to launch the MT.exe I get these error messages: I ran both the cleanup and repair PowerShell commands in my main DCS bin folder. I tried to run them in the multithreading folder as well but they would not work. Stock DCS runs just fine, its only MT I cannot get to work. Drivers are up-to-date as well though I'm fairly certain this is a file error. I'm trying to stay away from a fresh install if I can help it. I have most modules and maps so it is hundreds of GB to redownload. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

So you're saying there are issues with the open beta update specifically in regards to playing in VR? Not that there are issues with SimShaker and VR after the update? Just want to make sure I understood your first comment correctly. I heard about the switch to OpenXR. I've already been using via OpenComposite so I'm hoping there won't be many issues for me. What dos "NIS" mean? I'm must be out of the loop. Thanks!

Dang, I play exclusively in VR. What are the known issues with VR and this software? I'm trying to make it through all 187 pages of this post but I'm not quite there yet.

Hi all. My transducers for my homemade sim shaker showed up yesterday and I just purchased a License for Andre's SimShaker Sound Module. I'm pretty new to this topic I did have a question though, is there any issues with the most recent beta Simshaker Sound Module and the DCS open beta update that Eagle Dynamics dropped yesterday? I'm sure there will be a lot of trouble shooting on my end in the coming days because I don't know anything about this software. Just wanted to check if updating DCS to 2.8.1.34667.2 was okay before setting everything up. Thanks.

I've been trying to learn the F-16 recently. I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong with the ILS system and why I couldn't manage to set up such a ridiculously simple task. It's frustrating the amount of bugs that have been know for years in DCS but never fixed. None of the videos I watched or documents I read mentioned this bug. ILS approaches are such a core fundamental of flight, especially in the military application. I feel like this bug should be a high priority.

Hey everyone. I'm not sure what happened. DCS used to run buttery smooth for me, now I'm getting huge stutters and freezes every couple minutes. DCS FPS counter says I'm in the 60-90FPS range depending on map and conditions but it will freeze up momentarily out of nowhere. Its making precision flying like A/A refueling pretty difficult. Is anyone else having issues? Recently updated to the current beta build. Not sure if this is the issue. 1440p at mostly high settings. This is happening in Single player, I haven't tried multiplayer. I lowered visible range and shadows but that didn't seem to help anything. i9-10850k RTX 3070 32GB DDR4 DCS loaded on its own NVMe M.2 SSD EDIT: Added a screenshot of my settings and the FPS counter. My FPS is good but my frametime seems insanely high?
