MVS-Viper

Thanks for this new tool.

By default, there is no key assigned to activate the Afterburner. But if you go into Options, Controls, F-16C Sim and scroll down to "Cycle Afterburner Detent - ON/OFF" and assign a key (I assigned the "Insert" key); then save the profile. You can start the game and once the engines are up and running just press the Insert key (or whatever key you have assigned), and push the throttle all the way up. You will now have access to the afterburner.

The key you are looking for is the Designate Throttle Control or (Keyboard Enter). This will lock up the target you have in between the two TDC brackets.

V2tec, I recently uploaded a Warthog F-16 file to the DCS user download section. I was able to map both switches to the throttle. Just download my file and copy what I did. I’m traveling ATM or I would send you a pic of the programming. Good luck.

Someone created a log to address this issue on Gitlab here: https://gitlab.com/znixian/OpenOVR/-/issues/247 Please add to the list on the Gitlab web site if you are experiencing the same problem. Thanks.

Thanks for the help, but the file path listed in the error message does not exist, and there is no log file in the openComposite folder.

No, which log file?

Tis is the error message that pops up now:

A lot of us (without STEAM VR) use OpenComposite as a way to use VR Shaders in DCS. With the most recent update, the OpenComposite work around has stopped working. Has anyone found a way to get OpenComposite back up and running?

Do you need to start the game each time you add a mod, then come back and add the next mod? Like install kegetys, start the game. Then exit and install 3dmigoto mod for kegetys, and start the game etc. Or do you install all three mods at one time. Thanks

The attached will add an F-16 in the hanger. A big thanks to Screamer 63 for the basics on how to create the file. sceneVR.zip

Starting the game in VR with Opencomposite (Emulating Steam VR), and Skatezilla's app stopped working after the last update. Still works fine with the Oculus option selected. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

I wonder if it has something to do with how the app starts VR: Whatever it is, thanks Skatezilla

I just noticed that starting the game with SkateZilla's GUI app: I get much better frame rates in VR. Just flew an online mission with frame rates back up to 30 FPS.

I seem to get better frame rates in VR when staring the game with Skatezilla's app. Anyone else seeing the same results? Just curious.

Yeah, I'm noticing a decrease in frame rates as well. Especially on on-line servers. Down to 8 FPS, from an average of 30 FPS in the past.

I use the the Dice Editor by Bailey: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3312680/ And attached you will find a good set-up from the Falcon 4 days. The file was originally created by Neo. I am going to download the DTC for the F-16 by SFJackbauer. That looks interesting. Countermeasures by Neo.pdf

Are you still using this set-up. And, just curious why not use Vsync? Thanks.

Anyone have a suggestion for an effective OpenComposite ini file. Here is what I have in mine, but not sure if I did this correct: logGetTrackedProperty=false forceConnectedTouch=on useViewportStencil=true threePartSubmit=off enableAudio=off haptics=on admitUnknownProps=false supersampleRatio=0.5 enableOverlays=true

Have you guys noticed a significant frame rate increase in VR with this file?

That would be awesome. Thanks again CD for all of the hard work that you have put into this app.

CD thanks for this app. This thing works great. Anyone figure out how to make it work in VR? Also, is there a way to transfer the waypoint data to your wingman in multiplayer?

Barta, Check your windows settings to make sure that the Windows OS is seeing your second monitor. If it is not being seen by Windows, plug and unplug the HDMI monitor cable to your video card. This should fix the problem. You will also probably need to re-set your MFD settings in the app. DCS should work properly now.

Nineline, Thanks for the reply. I went back and replayed the mission. You are correct, I missed those two steps. Thanks for looking into it so quickly.
