C3PO

After reading Peachmonkey's post, I'm pretty sure there is an embedded Windows issue - go for a Windows reinstall then at least you can rule that out. What you're experiencing clearly shouldn't be happening under normal conditions. My rig has very little extra installed on it as it is only a couple of months old - so OS is "untarnished" - if that's the term.

Is it a G2 + Radeon GFX problem? I got my G2 a few weeks ago and after a couple of days of playing with the settings ... and lots of reading ... I have my G2 working great and have very few problems. You sure there is not an issue with your system? My process: 1. Turn on PC 2. Switch on G2 headset --> WMR automatically fires up 3. Launch SteamVR 4. Launch DCS. That's it. I make sure I keep my head very still from the point you see the Steam dark landscape and everything loads up, otherwise head position can get screwed up, but apart from that works as advertised. I use an add-on USB 3.0 PCI-E card in my PC - and plug the G2 into that USB 3.0 slot using the adapter that comes with the G2 (ie not the USB-C plug vanilla and USB-C slot).

Looking forward to multi-core and Vulkan!! I wonder how that's going ...?

No not seen that - will check it out tonight!

Thank you — just been looking up Voice Attack and Viacom Pro … are there any performance issues using those you have noticed with DCS?

This is great and exactly what I need - thank you ShaunX. Will this work in VR with the G2?

Got this working thanks - noticed it takes a bit longer to load a mission (I also ticked the memory optimisation feature as well as forcing DX11 to on). In game perhaps a bit smoother. I also set AF from x2 to x16 and that has helped the visuals.

Excellent - cheers!

Hi - anyone know how to access the WMR for SteamVR settings to enable DX11 as per below please? I don't have the hand controllers, only a mouse.

Thank you - and god yes that fogging up is a PITA. I usually do a mission first thing in the morning when the rest of the house is asleep ... but the coller temps in my sim room mean the unit is freezing cold too. I fly in fog for the first 15 minutes in more ways than one. PS: Has anyone heard of any rumours about the specs of any potential G3 unit? I guess at the moment it's not that worth it as more pixels mean more GFX card grunt.

I took that to mean all but fixed at the time of writing, and that once in openbeta would be improved upon. And yes, 1. stop the jitter and 2. improve the look would be awesome. I appreciate how these things can be tricky to sort.

Jeez ... who was the idiot who wrote those ridiculous claims? Well answered, BTW.

Many thanks that is what I thought….it will be a month before I can get my sight tested again.

You say only for long sighted people - I’m short sighted (things are blurred far away without glasses/contact lenses)…so they won’t work for me???

DCS looks gorgeous to me. Maybe a hardware upgrade to get the quality up? What ED achieve on one core - pretty much - is incredible. Multi core will arrive later this year, freeing up FPS for quality bumps. It sure feels odd to suggest DCS isn’t one of the amazing looking sims out there. On my previous rig had it running well at 4K in pancake mode.

What are your settings? Can you post a screenshot? My second system ran DCS at 60FPS in 80% of scenarios in medium to high settings....and your system is stronger.

I flew Graphsim's Hornet 1.0 - my first military flight sim - on a friend's LC475 Mac waay back in 1993 or so. Absolutely loved it. And yes the Hornet is incredible in DCS!

Thanks wildo.

Had a crash just now entering co-ordinates into the UFC in the AV-8B. Entered north-ing details, pressed ENTER, and DCS crashed on me. Screen froze in VR. Flying over Syria in MP. This was on the Triple Nickle server ... I wonder if it had been updated to the latest beta as of yesterday? dcs.log.old dcs.20210521-071424.crash dcs.20210521-071424.dmp

Ah sorry ... Had another crash just now entering co-ordinates into the UFC in the AV-8B. Entered north-ing details, pressed ENTER, and DCS crashed on me. Screen froze in VR. Flying over Syria in MP.

The jumping clouds are definitely annoying, but it is far from unplayable in VR.

Here’s Steam’s hardware survey for April. Not necessarily representative of DCS user-base, but relevant I think. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/?sort=pct My two-cents: from what I have seen over the past 30 years is that proprietary technology delivers change for the better across everywhere … so good to get in there.

I’ve not had a crash for a week in VR (crashed all the time for me when I first got my VR unit). I use release WMR and latest SteamVR beta. Make sure I’m plugged into an add-on PCI-e 3.0 slot using the enclosed adapter that comes with the G2. Also updaded my X570 board to latest Asus BIOS (I know you’re running an intel board), set the PCI-e slot to Gen 3 in BIOS and run REBAR. Been very stable in MP servers for me.
