No, because the monitor just acts like a repeater of your VR headset. There's nothing extra being rendered. We've tested this. It makes no difference.
-
Very good advice. With a slight undervolt my 4070ti Super runs 10°C cooler and the difference is 1-2 fps at most.

1 - No. DCS is nowhere near using 64GB of RAM and it won't be for, at least, a few years. 2 - Yes. 12GB is on the low end of VRAM amount for a 2025 card. You might not notice it right now, but it could start limiting you in a couple of years. If the price difference is not outrageous, go for the ti. More future proof, too. 3 - Yes. Both those cards will laugh at you at 1080p. Throw them a real challenge: 1440p should be a nice upgrade without breaking your bank.

This is good advice, as both of your options aren't good.

DCS Su-22 by VinntoreZ - Mod Developement Thread
diego999 replied to VinntoreZ's topic in Flyable/Drivable Mods for DCS World
Good bay America. -
I'm not buying any more maps until they finish the ones I already have. Sinai spent more than a year without a single update since the date it was launched, lacking basic stuff like bullseyes, correct radio frequencies and bridges. Fool me once, fool me twice and all that.

OpenXR Toolkit 1.3.8 still usable as stand alone (not Steam)
diego999 replied to StratosFalcon's topic in Virtual Reality
No, the bug is still present. You can "fix it" with the very elegant method of placing a piece of tape over the proximity sensor. -
Well, if it's BVR what you're after, go with the king, Tomcat + Phoenix combination. Con: you're not doing much radar wise, it's all down on Jester. Mirage F1 doesn't have a very capable radar so your experience will be limited. It has a very good SARH missile tho (the smaller one, can't remember the name). The FC MiG-29 is BVR capable but its systems are extremely simplified, like all FC planes. But it has a very interesting selection of R-27 variants.

OpenXR Toolkit 1.3.8 still usable as stand alone (not Steam)
diego999 replied to StratosFalcon's topic in Virtual Reality
Still works. I use it every day. Can't live without turbo mode. -
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?

Upgraded 9900k to 9800x3d with a 7900XT
diego999 replied to Nascar's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
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.
