C3PO

Why not?

Would love to have this working in VR in DCS.

Looking at performance, in a quiet MP Syria server ... the clouds deliver a 10% FPS hit ... and the early morning lighting also has an effect on frame-rate for me. The clouds have issues as we know, and they jitter in an annoying way. Also the cloud details - even at Ultra - is not as good as in 2D it seems to my eyes. Getting around 45fps on the super carrier, going up to around 60fps in the air according to FPSforVR. CPU hovers around 15% and GPU around 90% with temps of 76C. I took some screenshots with FPS for VR running but only the cockpit was grabbed, not the FPSVR box sadly...how do I take a screenie of that?

Seated - no point in boundary at a desk!

Hi - I went to 80% on SVR (although my resolutions for this go beyond the 3K x 3K values??) -- I also use WMR to what is described as the native resolution (4320 x 2160) ... ie not selecting "upscaling for performance". This for me is a super-sweet spot. PS: funny how just a few days ago all this terminology was a confusing, foreign language.

Hi - bit confused as I read so where that 50% custom resolution in SteamVR is native (full) resolution of the G2? I’ve been running at 100% in SteamVR and 1.0 in DCS. Have I been unnecessarily overdoing it on the pixels - and hence performance hit?

Thank you - will try this out.

Hi - hoping someone might be able to help me on some radar issues in the Hornet. 1. I totally do not expect radar to be an all-seeing 100% accurate God seeing view, but I am finding that in RWS mode many targets simply do not appear. I've been comparing what the radar is delivering to what I am seeing in "AWACS Map Mode" (I cheekily have F10 mapped to my HOTAS). Even targets within 20nm sometimes do not appear correctly - or rather momentarily appear then disappear ... I figured they might be turning on radar jamming (happens with F-5s etc) ... but very close they seem still appear very randomly. Is there something I am missing here ... is there a guide to the most effective use of RWS? 2. I also go to TWS after a target is locked that works well ... yet when I switch back to RWS mode the radar bars tracking left and right are stuck in just scanning a middle portion of the scope range, rather than the wide scanning mode. De-selecting the target doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Thank you all for the help and advice - I have been having an absolute blast! I have had a few problems, the headset randomly disconnecting. I know about the issues as I have an X570 chipset so upgraded the BIOS to the latest version and there were still issues. So I added a PCI-e usb 3.0 card and oddly enough issues remained. So … I checked out a few YT videos and “think” have sorted the problem. I before had been plugging the USB-C headset connector into the usb-c slot on the new card. Today I used the adapter that comes with the G2 to plug it into one of the “proper” usb 3.0 slots on the add-on card. Secondly, I went into my BIOS settings and device management for PCI slots and changed it from “auto” to “Gen 3” (didn’t select Gen 4) for the slot that runs the add-on usb card. This morning I did two full night missions (Holy Moly, they were fun!!) back-to-back and zero issues. So it seems one of the two changes mentioned above really did the trick for me. BTW, got my other half into the G2 for her first VR experience - she loved it!! Sorry for my crappy filming…

Yes indeed - PC gets v warm!

This thing gets bloody hot so ….

Thank you…one more question: when not in use isnit safe to leave the G2 still plugged into the power supply? I cannot see a switch to turn it off. I am thinking of screen burn. I guess safest way is to plug in and unplug each time? Or is there another solution? PS: woke up and got on the machine at 0630BST. Came off the VR half an hour ago

Well - got it all sorted in the end with WIN+Y ... phew ... had a couple of weird disconnects which closed DCS and wasn't sure if it was the G2, WMR or SteamVR - or DCS! Nevertheless ... awesome experience. My fiancee says I have wasted a whole day sitting in my room in my own little world. Er ... yes and great it was

Just using the G2 and having a few confit issues … any help gratefully recieved 1. How do I stop the desktop displaying whatever is seen in VR? I want to save as many gpu cycles as possible. 2. Sometimes the cursor doesn’t work - or isn’t seen - in VR … even though mouse is enabled in settings. 3. How do I get rid of the controllers? I just have my mouse… 4. Any tips for a newbie gratefully received.

Uurrgghhh … now the cursor won’t move with the mouse … only when i look around and when i left click nothing happens!

Quick Q - cannot see DCS exe in the per application video settings … I added the exe to steam and it seems to be there but not in steamVR app? This is what i get …

Haven’t done any tweaking - will look at that now! But oh my god….wtf time

HOLY SH1T - I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW AMAZING VR IS …I actually lost a breath in the cockpit

Had a peek inside and it’s in tip top condition and brilliantly wrapped. Am off tomorrow and so will put some proper time into setting it up etc…

Will try this out later in the week when I have some time.

Look what arrived today! Thanks so much Jon!

Super excited - about to join the G2 OWNERS CLUB ! Cheers Jon the sale!

Many thanks - I discovered that randomly my TDC depress keystroke on my HOTAS has become unbinded ... so wasn't working. Hadn't had an issue before so didn't think to check it but that was it. Thanks for the advice all.

I so nearly pressed the button on a purchase just now, after putting in all the details for Bestware .... will hold back a little until the clouds are singing in VR! Thanks though super site.
