Hi, I installed FPSVR and it is a bit of a dissapointment, my CPU is bottlenecking regarding frametimes. i guess only a new CPU will solve my problem?

How does motion reprojection work?

My PD is set to 1, with a new (beta copy) its the same, not one core is getting to 100% I have no idea

Hi Adam, I am installing a new copy (beta) of dcs, lets see what that gives.

Hi Sukebe, Thanks for the tips, tried them all, nothing happens its like something is holding it back. CPU is only at 50% and my GPU at 35%, memory at 55%

Hi Guys, Recently changed from a vive pro to the HP Reverb. All works well in x-plane on high settings but i cant seem to get it to work with dcs, i tried multiple guides here on the forum but no matter what i do: high, low, super low settings in DCS or steam FPS gets stuck between 20 and 45 max (unplayable). I have a i7-7700k, 32gb ram, 2080TI and everything on SSD's Any help?

Hi Guys, I can’t seem to get my rotary encoders working (with every rotation I get two simultaneously button inputs no matter if I go to the right or left, I have two of them from Leo Bodnar paired with the BBI-32 button box. I know that Leo states on his website that you have to put in to the software “encoder mode”, but I do not know which kind of software (with the one provided by leo I cant find “ encoder mode “). Any help please?

I opened up my warthog stick because it was nog running smooth anymore, a cable (that goes through the joint) was snapt of during the process, soldered it and reassembled the stick. Now windows doesn't recognize my stick anymore. Any help maybe?

Hi Parxuk, For me it doesn't work with the hand controllers, i use a trackball mouse together with the tracking capability of the headset (move the cursor with your head), this works best for me.

@ Voight: Thanks for your advise, i can buy a barely used pimax 8k here locally for half the price (that's why i am tempted). I don't mind that it's not plug and play, i however want a flyable experience in DCS, if i have to invest in a new card i would be willing to do so, but then offcourse it needs to be playable (i read a lot of mixed reactions regarding this point).

After reading this section i am a bit tempted to take the plunge into pimax. But a few questions still remain. Is it even possible to use the pimax with a 1080 card (the 8g version)?, my CPU is a 7700 (this seems ok). Do i need lighthouses for DCS (or only for non sitting games)?

Thanks for the many reply's, i probably pre-order the rift s as it is almost certain it will work well with dcs. Honestly, if i max up settings and pixel density the image gets way clearer, but then the FPS drops to unplayable. Currently for me (when i play with the settings) it's a trade-off between a clear cockpit or clear outside environment. I hope with upcoming improvements we can have both.

As probably many of you guys, I am ready for a new vr headset. After two and a half years of loyal service my rift CV1 is ready to be replaced. I really like the CV1 but for more complex missions in ‘modern’ jets (FA18 or the Warthog) where you spend a lot of time pushing buttons and planning, it just isn’t good enough due to the blurriness (so you have to continuously zoom in). I know Pimax and the new Valve index will or have high resolution screens but I invested a decent amount of money in a new PC last year (GTX 1080 and i7 7700k), and I am not planning on investing again in hardware or at least not again € 1000 or more. I assume a lot of you guys share this opinion. The Pimax seems to be also not comfortable and not really plug and play. The Rift S seems an option but I am afraid that it is not future proof (at least not for “high” level simming). Vive Pro is expensive……. In other words what could I buy that will run om my current setup that is comfortable but has significant better image quality than the CV1 for max € 1000. Please enlighten me with your advice.

Hi Guys, I am looking into buying a motion platform (used in combination with vr) which I will be only using for flight sims (DCS, Aerofly and elite). After weeks of browsing the internet it seems that hardware is more than available (simukit is only 30 min away from where I live and there is a dealer in the area of next level motion platforms and there are some other dealers in France as well). The software part on the other hand seems to be another kind of story. I read a lot of mixed story’s from ok to not working at all. I know there are some DCS users who own motion platforms . So please share you opinion and insight. It is an investment I am willing to take but not without proper information. Thanks,

Thanks for the info

I watched some you tube documentaries on the harrier and noticed that the harrier can only hover for 90 seconds due to overheating engines (water runs out). Even with almost empty tanks and no payload. When i fly in dcs i can hover over the entire airfield without any issues. is this realistic?

Found it, thanks guys

Hi Guys, Great module the AV-8B! I am in the proces of using the tv to lock targets and ccrp the hell out of them. But i can only do it once. In other words i cannot unlock the target, is there a way to reset the target designation system? Thanks,

Can somebody reply to this question? Doesn't work for me also

Do you also fly helicopters? A test about 2 dof and helicopters would be appreciated.

I am also tempted, Do you have any idea how the implementation with x-plane is? This is my second most used flight simulator after DCS. Usability with x-plane is important for me. Also, how do you use your mouse? Is there a place available to place it?

Thanks for the many opinions on the VR subject. Lets hope VR games will get mainstream in a couple of years so we fight simmers can profit from the immense cashflows they generate. Money = better products and quicker development.

I mainly use my rift for flight simming but occasionally I try out some vr games like super hot vr or hotdogs, horseshoes and handgrenades. But it seems to me that the HTC vive is becoming the platform for the mainstream vr experiences. With games like fallout 4 or Half-life coming exclusively to the vive they really have an advantage because a lot of people are waiting for a full blown vr game. I invested a good amount of money in my rift as I was an ‘early adopter’ so I hope oculus will stay in the race. What is your opinion?

Hi Ian, Thanks for your reply. Do you have an idea if the Leo Bodnar knobs would be suitable to pair with an arduino board?

Hi Guys, Great to hear that the NS430 system is implemented in dcs. Since i mainly fly in vr it is a bit a pain in the ass to use the rotary knobs with your mouse (especially when not on the ground). Is there a way to buy two physical knobs and connect them to a pc via usb? Help would be appreciated. Thanks
