Just last night my AI wingman crashed into me while I was lining up for landing. In the same sortie, two C-130 decided to block each other at the end of the runway, effectively ruining the entire mission. Does this count as a complaint? Or do I need to fill a form?

Prior to the MT version there was an important advantage using a second PC to host the mission you were playing on your main computer. Nowadays not so much - provided your PC has plenty of headroom for DCS and background tasks.

Dumb me didn't read the title. Anyway, as despicable as Nvidia is, their GPUs just work better in VR compared to AMD. A while ago, there was a severe stuttering issue with AMD cards in VR, it was eventually resolved, but performance still isn't quite there. Another issue is DCS itself. With certain unit quantities and combinations, the engine will choke regardless of the hardware you're running, especially bad with MRLS or artillery in large numbers.

If you're playing in VR using the 2080ti by your signature, then no, that GPU is barely capable, so no matter what CPU you use or how much ram you throw at it, that old graphics card is severely holding you back.

I use ChatGPT for creating missions, but not scripts or ME. It writes briefings and mission descriptions for me. With english not being my mother tongue, sometimes I struggle to find words to describe my idea. ChatGPT helps wonderfully at that. Asking it to code a mission or to write a script is unrealistic today.

Set a dogfight between an Ace AI MiG-21 and something else with you as an observer and watch the thing pull 9G sustained turns without losing speed. Then come and tell us it's all fine because your data, equations and parameters say so. The math is pretty interesting but it seems you don't play the game.

Unpopular opinion: try cable connection. Best image quality and the battery doesn't die in a couple of hours.

Kinda like the Corsair. Would you call that a waste of time too?

This. In three years I only had weird connection problems twice: when the cable was about to die.

Are you using godlike resolution in VD? I don't know if there's another sharpness setting or something similar in VD to get a clearer image? Check inside DCS if resolution of cockpit displays is set to max (1024). Check if DLSS is activated. It provides a slightly blurrier image so you don't want that on. I use a Quest 3 like you, with cable Link the Viper MFDs are small but readable, so it's definitely capable of showing a clear image. There are way better headsets, but those come at a higher price tag, plus you need a top of the line PC to drive all those pixels.

For VR the hardware requirements are (at least) 2X or 3X compared to 2D, depending on a lot of factors. On top of that, DCS itself is very inefficient when it comes down to VR, something that should start to improve when Vulkan comes. I hope I'm still alive by then (I'm 45).

Alternatively, you can ask Jester to take care of launching countermeasures himself. From what I've tested, he seems to be pretty decent at the job.

This is good advice. In general you want to be GPU limited, as there is a lot of eye candy you can chop down in order to get more frames. In a CPU limited scenario there is not a lot you can do to gain performance.

Not at all. I fly the civilian sim a lot. The map only looks good from high above, go down near the ground and the limitations start to show. Hand made cities and landmarks look decent enough, but go outside those limited areas and the autogen graphics are awful. Then add actual units that need to drive, move, etc, and it really doesn't look good.

I've been flying the F-104, here's some feedback I hope you find useful: - First of all, the work you have done is amazing. Great visuals and clickable cockpit. Couldn't ask for more. - Wheel brake axis doesn't seem to be working. - Turning on the radar introduces some slight stuttering. Nothing major but you can "feel" it and it shows on the in-built performance monitor. - The plane is very unstable and doesn't fly in a straight line. I know the real thing was very unforgiving but at the moment I wasn't able to make it fly straight and level, and it doesn't feel like the real plane was that bad. I'm not a real pilot so I can't tell for sure. Just my impression. - I tested Sidewinders and gun last night. It was great. I will test bombs and rockets tonight. Great job!

Thank you very much! Amazing mod.

Your ideas sound really nice.

Yeah, you're right. It's not supported anymore, so any Meta or DCS patch can break it. Still works, so fingers crossed. You can do most of the same stuff with Oculus Debug Tool, but it's annoying as it doesn't remember the settings.

I'm still using it.

I started my VR journey on a very modest 10400 with a 3060ti. I had to make several compromises but I could play with decent graphics and stable 72fps as long as I wasn't on the ground, over a big city, or in a complex mission with hundreds of units. I'm playing now on a 9700X + 4070ti Super and the performance is great. Smooth frames, rock solid 72fps on my Q3. I can now even play online servers, something I could not do before. Either you don't know what you're doing in order to tweak VR for good performance, or your expectations are totally unrealistic. A 12700KF is decent but not great for DCS VR nowadays, and 32GB are on the low side of RAM amount.

This. Even when you get the controllers working inside the game, the experience is miserable. Mouse is not elegant but just works.

The AI MiG-21 is a bad joke of an UFO capable of 9G sustained turns with no speed loss. It would give a F-22 a run for his money. We've tested and reported it, answer is always the same "wait for GFM" for years now, like dynamic campaign, Vulkan, you get my drift. At least tweak it a little so it's not so absurd, but no, too much effort.

If you're not going to participate in a constructive way, kindly go be wrong somewhere else. Thanks.

VR will always be inferior to a 2D monitor: you're exchanging visual quality for immersion. Is that trade worth it? Only you can answer that question. With that said, Quest 2 is an older headset now, and it's clearly falling behing newer ones. It was serviceable for almost 2 years for me, but the moment I tried pancake lenses I knew I couldn't go back (using a Quest 3 now). Doesn't matter how much you pump your settings, the physical resolution of the headset will always limit your visuals. In my case, the Quest 3 is better than the Quest 2, but not by an amazing margin. I'm sure high end headsets must provide amazing quality, but you need an equally high end pc to extract the performance. What are your specs?

V76 by any chance? Yes it broke for me too. A quick search will reveal this is a common occurrence. What's worked for me was to reinstall the Meta desktop app. No problems since.
