Sorry for the late reply. If you like PvE you can fly on the Early Cold War Server's Korean War server. It has mission tasking, A2G, A2A, etc. lots of pesky Mig15s to hunt down.

Has anyone tried to contact Rafal via his gmail address? Still using this fantastic utility.

SOLD Orion2 Joystick and Throttle bases. F-18 Throttle Base with finger lifts. F-16EX joystick grip (with shaker kit) Aluminum adjustable desk clamps (DIY). These were on my motion simpit but I wanted the F-16 throttle when it came out and I bought the HOTAS set. So I set these up to use at my desktop PC in my home office. Which I have done exactly once in the last seven/eight months. Now they are just cluttering up the office. 400 USD plus shipping. If you are in the United States that should only be around 40-50 USD via USPS? But actual shipping cost would need to be verified.

Does this type of overlay not appear for you in VR? The pilot speaking name will appear after the frequency that they are sending on.

7900xtx & Pico 4 Expected Framerates and Times
Miles Vorkosigan replied to Mikaris's topic in Virtual Reality
Since VD upgraded to OpenXR (VDXR) I have been using that. It works excellent. Set the Windows VD app to use VDXR as the runtime and launch the game as you mentioned above. -
You might check in with Early Cold War servers, they do a lot of PVE in the Vietnam era. They have two PVE 60s-70s servers with Mig-21s, F-5 Tigersharks, F-86 Sabers and the A-4 Skyhawks and I am probably forgetting a few. They will be deeply involved in the Phantom when it is released. https://discord.gg/rfpycnYgvy

That article is behind a pay wall for me

I wonder this myself. Before the new engine model that shake during startup could be...painful but I did not want to miss other movement/shake by turning the output down. I did find that a tuned spike filter helped a great deal.

5.7 is completely smooth for me. I am simply amazed by this HMD.

EDIT February 2024: VD has since upgraded to using an OpenXR runtime (VDXR), use this runtime instead. It works great. I know this is an older thread but I do want to chime in for those who look for tips later. I am using a Pico 4 with DCS and it is great. I do have a 4090 so of course that helps but even with my office desktop (3090) it looks great. I connect the Pico with a USB-C to Ethernet adapter, and Virtual Desktop. The ethernet cable goes to a switch where my PC is also plugged in. I use a 30w USB charger for pass through charging, I have played for six hours without completely discharging the battery in the Pico (brought it down to 35% I think). The key to getting great visuals and smooth game-play in the Pico is to disable "Virtual Desktop Streamer (Quest)" in SteamVR Settings-Startup/Shutdown-Manage Add-ons. The Pico will then load DCS using the Oculus runtime instead of SteamVR. No need for OpenXR, it just runs very well. A buddy also has the Pico running on a 7900XT GPU and gets excellent framerate and smooth gameplay. When I first started to use the Pico (upgraded from a Reverb G2...yes it is an upgrade) I had horrible lag spikes. I attributed it to the Pico, Virtual Desktop, etc. After exhausting all methods of fixing the issue I chose the Nuclear Option (Should be dramatic music in the background) I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (I meant to do that anyway) using a clean install and format of my C:\ drive. The lag spikes were gone. It was something in Windows causing the issue. Too many people blame the Pico 4 for bad VR (I almost did), but it works freaking great. If I remember, I will post a screenshot showing my Pico performance overlay. I am on my desktop right now, the simpit is in the basement. EDIT: Better yet and more to the point of this thread; here is a screenshot from my buddy who is using a 7900XT: null
