  1. Fair enough But again there’s nothing wrong with DCS in this regard. Such an effect is easy to achieve.
  2. Why does DCS have a IPD/world scale setting at all? Why would a player want to change that unless they want to make a first person Godzilla movie? It seems like an odd setting to have and it’s just going to cause confusion. The headset already has an IPD setting which should be enough. The trouble with IPD in VR is you’d need to have this set exactly down to like a fraction of a millimeter for it to be truly accurate. I don’t imagine many headsets have this fine tuning, just a dial or slider. In most games getting this off a bit probably isn’t a big deal but for a game where you sit in a cockpit any small deviation is going to be very noticeable.
  3. I don’t meant to say it’s not realistic or shouldn’t be. I’m saying it’s literally a game on your computer. Again it feels as real as playing a PC racing game is vs driving a real car. As far as realism is concerned there’s nothing that needs to be fixed with the game. Again there’s nothing wrong here with flight models. The problem is people comparing a game with GoPro YouTube videos. The fact that these things need to be explained is hilarious and disturbing…
  4. As shown on page 193 of the manual. How is this mode activated?
  5. My AAR awakening came one day after the usual frustration, driving to work. And realizing I was able to keep “formation” in traffic. I thought; how am I able to do this but not in the game? Well… look at the small subconscious motions you make on the wheel and gas pedal without even realizing it. I’m not mashing down the gas and wildly cranking the wheel. Just driving. Same with riding a bicycle. You don’t even think about it. Ok so do the same in the game, it just takes some time to get your reflexes tuned. And it’s odd because the only feedback you get is your vision. But eventually it clicks and an amazing thing.
  6. It seems if you’re right at the limit it’s possible to go over it a tiny bit and see the tear. In DCS I didn’t see it as a typical frame split split but sort of a wrinkle effect. But it was still an artifact.
  7. Yeah but you’re playing a computer game. So why does this matter? A PC racing sim is not going to feel like driving a real car no matter how realistic the game is. I think everyone knows this. Or should. The fact that all this needs to be explained is quite disturbing
  8. Other than the first step with the frame rate limit I’ve never touched those other things. Nor do I really know what they are. Everything works really well though so I’ll leave it alone.
  9. It’s like asking if a YouTube GoPro test drive of my car feels like driving the real thing
  10. How do any of you guys know what “feels right” is? Are you real life F-18 pilots who really fly every day over the Caucasus and compare it to DCS
  11. I’m sure results might vary depending on the hardware etc.
  12. I’m using a 120Hz monitor and if I set the frame limit to 120 I see some tearing. Your actual FPS in the game would have to go over 120 for this to happen.
  13. The fact that world scale affects everything you see isn’t a theory. It’s a fact.
  14. But it sure helps! Cmon I know everyone has done that once PS for other game related challenges that might help your focus. Racing sims! 🫨 A racing sim is like a big AAR session that lasts 30-40 minutes and never lets up. After that AAR is easy by comparison.
  15. All day long I shouldn’t plug another game but there’s a WWI and WWII flight sim with a career mode and all you do on every mission when you’re the lower ranked pilot is fly off your lead for hours and hours. I have to think that really has a benefit. The more you do this the less stressful it is. Oh when I started learning AAR I was covered in sweat with a death grip on the stick. But you learn to relax. The other day I was flying online and the stupid tanker flew into the threat circle of an SA-10. Plus there were enemy fighters prowling around me as I was refueling. But I’m so calm now I was just checking my EWR and such the whole time just unfazed
  16. Having experimented with both Vsync On and Off using G-Sync I came to the conclusion that Vsync Off is best, indeed that seems to be the consensus on how to use this. Vsync adds latency and you simply don’t need it with G-Sync. You do need to cap your refresh rate 2-3 frames below your monitor’s rate otherwise you’ll get tearing if your FPS exceeds that. I gotta say the results in DCS are fantastic. Very nice and smooth anywhere between 50 and 118 (my screen limit). I have the NCP options all on default which means Low Latency and Triple Buffering Off, since those are meant to improve Vsync performance they aren’t needed. I capped the frame rate in NCP since it allows fine tuning as opposed to the in-game one (that feature might have problems too) Everything just looks super nice and smooth. I had tried capping FPS at 60 but the drop in frame rate is noticeable without any real improvement I can see.
  17. Of course that affects the entire 3D world. How else would you figure that works? The effect is just more noticable in the cockpit compared to far away objects.
  18. Part of the problem I realize is DCS doesn’t have enough scenarios where you fly formation as #2. Everyone mission or campaign seems to place you in the lead. So it’s no wonder people have trouble with AAR. Something like the WWII DLC campaigns where you fly formation across the channel and back every fight would get you in the groove for this. Recently I got the AH-64, never having flown helicopters before I was in for a steep learning curve! But then when I tried AAR again it was so easy I thought something in the game was set wrong so maybe try out a helicopter? Or other aircraft that are actually a challenge to fly. The modern FBW jets are otherwise too easy and you forget to actually control them all the time. Fly something that requires constant attention and it helps.
  19. It must mean it’s looking for a button that’s no longer available. In my case it was a modifier which needed to be reassigned.
  20. I think it means you need to reassign a modifier that’s missing. That’s what it’s meant when I’ve seen it.
  21. Try turning it off, you will get better quality. A 4090 doesn't need the help
  22. Yeah I suppose that’s best left off using a VRR screen. I don’t know why I used to have that enabled with G-Sync
  23. I tried messing around with this again. For me definitely Vsync should be Off. Wow. I capped the frame rate in NCP at 118 on a 120Hz display and set everything else in NCP to default. Low Latency to and Triple Buffering to default Off. Wow is that smooth.
  24. Turn on Vsync to cap your frame rate to your screen. Leave the in-game slide at some higher value you won’t hit (ie Off) Unless you just have that off for the test
