That’s interesting, would you mind sharing some of your settings? In DCS as well as Steam VR. Also do you use stand alone DCS or Steam DCS? Also do you use/find motion Vector works for you with the Reverb? Best regards.

Are you a VR user?

I’ve had no improvement with this patch. Which is a disappointment as I was hoping to see a slight improvement in VR when I heard about the optimisation on VRAM. I didn’t give any feedback at first because I wanted to fully try and tweak everything my end to make sure I wasn’t jumping the gun. I have no doubts that the team have put huge effort into this patch with lots of added features and I accept that all systems are different and some people have seen an improvement, it’s just not worked any better for me. I wait with anticipation for the implementation of Vulcan and shall keep my fingers crossed. What I can say is that I have seen no deteriorating performance, it is more or less the same. I run motion vector in Steam VR settings which restricts my FPS to 45. If I can maintain 45 it is smooth experience and the sim runs nice. Some of my modules run a fine 45fps like the F16 and F18 even with storms and rain In Caucasus. But others struggle, for example the new Phantom. I thought I would try and run with motion vector off and noticed a drop of around 10-12 fps and noticeable stuttering with that setting so I just put it back on. What I have noticed since earlier this year which coincided with a massive fps drop when using the F10 map view, is random drops by around 15fps while running a flight. Alt tabbing then tabbing back into the sim and sometimes Alt and enter will make the FPS jump back to 45. I also completely avoid the F10 map view now because it’s such a pain to get the FPS back once I do it. I would really appreciate a work around of this problem as I know it never used to happen. I haven’t tried the Syria Sinai and South Atlantic maps as I have them on another install on another drive and haven’t updated that yet. So maybe I will see an advantage on those maps.

I don’t know, I think it would be cool to have an A6 in your flight that you can request attacks air defences and clears a path for your F14 to drop bombs on a target. Just my feelings. Yeah I agree, I’m looking forward to the A6 more than I was a phantom. Having said that I really enjoy HBs F4 and I’ve become far more interested in the aeroplane. I will definitely purchase a Navy Phantom if HB do this further down the line

ah thankyou so much...

Ok forgive me for seeming really stupid but I've searched high and low through the DLSS tweeks download page and there is no dxgi.dll file, am I missing something? do i need to launch something to create this file? Thanks

I’ve just always found MSAA really taxing on my system and also get loads of shimmering as well.

So do you run an install file EnableNvidiaSigOverride.reg ? And you can choose to force preset E or F? or do you add files to your .EXE directory similar to if you use reshade? regards.

Ok I’ll give it a try. Thanks.

Ok. So your suggesting to download and install a older version?

I would like some suggestions for VR settings in DCS for the following reason. Im running a HP reverb G2. In cockpit I’m very happy with visual quality and most of the time the performance, although this can depend on modules as some run better than others. My complaint is antialiasing around the canopy in external views of aircraft other than that I’m pretty pleased with everything else. I’m able to run most of my modules at a smooth and steady fps even with rain although it’s too much to ask from the F4 and the apache. I currently run DLAA with no upscaling. I find upscale adds to strange wobbly effects around the edges of the aircraft and turning off upscaling after playing with settings over and over is about the best I can get it. I can’t run MSAA it just makes my experience like a slide show. I probably should just accept that things run pretty well and look good in cockpit and leave it at that but I can’t help but find it really annoying that I look at external views and the canopy edges of aircraft look terrible, I’ve always liked checking out external views while flying and have done since way back to simming in the 90s. So I’m just looking for some suggestions I guess but without going to MSAA. Many thanks.

I’ve got to the stage where I’m becoming picky with the modules I buy. After the F15 I am more so. It’s put me off a lot of modules combined with the fact I don’t have the time to learn them all I’m only buying aircraft that really interest me now, I was tempted with the Kiowa but didn’t bother in the end. Last module I bought was the F4 and I have given HB positive feedback because the F4 has exceeded my expectations it looks incredible, the FM feels incredible and it’s just all round such an impressive module being that it’s so early access as well, launching with in cockpit pilots and feature complete in many ways. It is a step up in many ways from the F14 imo and I hope that HB can bring many of the features of the F4 to the beautiful Tomcat. Mainly the cockpit in my opinion the F4 cockpit looks so much better in VR than the F14. The A6 is a plane that always captivated me, as a kid I’d look through books about supercarriers looking at pictures of the F14 and developed a real interest in the A6 tempting me to buy books and books about the intruder it’s such an interesting aeroplane. So the A6 will be a much looked forward to purchase for me, and I’ve become a HB fan as well so I have confidence it will be an outstanding module. Can’t wait for it.

I not only have to avoid F10 views but I often have a similar trend even if I don’t use F10. Sometimes I may fly for 15-20 mins and have smooth gameplay 45fps in VR with a HP reverb. Then I get a drop and the sim runs at 30-32 fps and it’s a stuttering mess. However more often than not and it doesn’t make much sense I alt tab (I have a few background processes because of VR and I run a simshaker jetseat) and after tabbing through a few processes and then going back into the sim it’s back to 45fps and running smooth. I will say that this is more with the more system demanding modules that I own. So say the F4,F14 apache. But the F16 runs absolutely fine all the time with no issues in frame drops at all for me. But if I make the fatal error of F10 that’s it it’s not often the mission will run right again and more often than not I end up restarting dcs to get a normal frame rate again.

Thanks for clarifying

I’ve noticed I have no rain effects on the canopy like other modules, is it yet to be added to the F4 yet?

Ah ok I didn’t realise this thankyou. Does anyone have any experience using the moza obviously it’s very expensive, is it worth paying the extra money?

I’m thinking of getting a new flightstick. The Moza base looks like something I would love to get however I’ve got so used to using an extension with my flight stick over the years I don’t think I could do without one and it seems to me that there are no extensions available for the Moza ffb and it’s flightstick. I currently have a warthog flightstick. It’s been fine and I’ve got good use from it for a number of years. I would like something that gives me more of a mechanical feel when using it, my thrustmaster just feels to soft, maybe having been used for so long now hasn’t helped, would anyone suggest a particular stick considering use with an extension? One that is relatively stiff and perhaps has the option to apply more tension? I have considered the new thrustmaster ava base, the advantage of this would be my sticks are already compatible, has anyone got any experience of the Ava base with an extension? suggestions would be welcome thankyou.

Thanks

Tried the map again today (latest patch) this same problem exists with all my aircraft installed. Is this issue acknowledged by the developers?

Any news or a timescale for the possible inclusion of this ED?

Yeah the sea harrier looks great and I love the look of the FRS1 in particular but unfortunately we have no working radar. For that reason I’ve mainly been focusing on having as close a representation of a GR7 as possible.

Yes I was told it was in their plans but 3 years on and I’d be surprised if they’ve even looked into it. Their development cycle is extremely slow.

Do you use VR? How did the SA map run for you before this update?

yeah but the point i'm making is i'm getting smooth gameplay on other maps Syria Sinai Normandy Caucasus, and south Atlantic did run smooth before aside from the drop in performance after a few minutes flying if you went above a certain altitude (bug). Tried a few minutes and just not playable, plus 2D and VR are always different performance outputs. I've had the map since early access and have hardly used it.

Am I the only one experiencing severe performance drop off in VR with the latest update. Other maps are performing considerably better in comparison
