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.

ED seem to be trying to fullfill some checklist, releasing half-baked features with barebones functionality only so they can say "hey, we gave you what you wanted". Quick Action Generator: slow, cumbersome, for some weird reason it loads the terrain first (?) before giving you the option to select another one. DTC: primitive and barely functional. Mission Save: uselees for anything more complicated than you alone on the map bombing some static units. Most recent patch: +20 C° CPU temperature for AMD users somehow. The now unified DCS version is still Open Beta, they just changed the name.

Great mod! I've always wanted to fly these planes (MiG-25 and MiG-31) and now I finally can. Thank you.

Looks nice. Maybe in 3-4 years when it's worth it. No more preorders for me.

Great work!

Your CPU will boost its clock when it needs to. You don't need to overclock or do anything, your 14700k is great for DCS.

This. For gaming the difference in performance between 9800X3D and 9950X3D is minimal, while the price is not.

This is good advice.

When did you try? I tested IL-2 last week with OpenComposite (I was trying to bypass the nefarious SteamVR) and OpenXR Toolkit kicked in on its own when the game opened. It was a pleasant surprise.

I still use OpenXR Toolkit, pity it's not supported anymore by its creator (not critisizing mbucchia here, he's done a lot for VR in DCS). Quad Views Foveated is an alternative tool made by the same author, but in my case I get worse performance so I don't use it. Turbo Mode eliminates ground stuttering almost completely, and the overlay provides in-game CPU and GPU frametimes. Those two settings I cannot live without. Post proccesing to simulate sunglasses it also comes in handy, as half the modules lack the feature.
