Hello guys After playing this morning and like most here was having reduced performance in 2.7 I did a few tweaks and now my fps is back where I like it at 45 most of time. My steps if I remember correctly. 1. Cleared out shaders in saved games 2.Cleared out shaders in dcs/mods/terrains/misc 3.Put terrain texture to low. 4.Put cloud textures to low...they look fine in VR 5.Forced ipd distance to 64 in vr settings 6.Steam vr to 42% dcs@100% resolution 2044x2004 7.Installed mods via JSGME....reshade vr sharpen/color.....reflected`s vr labels.....remove vr lens flare....modified countermeasure programs....CGTC mod with taz trees on top....mustangs persian gulf/nttr noise fix i9 9900k..rtx2080oc...64 gb ram..ssd..reverb g2 Hope it helps somebody

Experimentally I put Lefuneste mod on top...nothing broke. Part of his mod is a cheap cost fxaa filter and with both of these enabled it looks better than vanilla as regards to shimmering. A coding expert is needed to merge these 2 mods into 1. Heck Id even pay a few bucks for that. One thing I have noticed is how much crisper small water waves are now..much better!

Great work guys....many thanks to all involved. Definitely adds something to DCS VR that was missing. Personally I dont like the extra color saturation as cockpits become a bit gaudy but the overall sharpening is brilliant.

Hey Burt Try steamvr at 20% Per app dcs at 244% or whatever close to native 2160. You get more jaggies but its definitely less of a strain on the system.

i9 9900k..64gb ram..2080oc..reverb g2 I tried every combo of settings for 3 weeks and was about to go back to 2d yesterday. Set steam resolution in main at lowest...20% i think. Set per application DCS in video to 244% or whatever gets you to 2160 giving a combined res to of about 49%in total. Using motion smoothing forced on and legacy reprojection on. Got much smoother for me with these settings.Pegged at 45fps most of time and can see 90 in cockpit if enabled in some instances. It feels like my rift s now but clearer obviously. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the DWM.exe memory leak but I easily go over 32gb in most DCS games. Using standbylist cleaner to purge memory and ending dwm.exe several times per Dcs gaming session. At least my headset is future proof and when vid cards become available at reasonable prices we will get more performance/clarity.

No go for some planes. Cockpit illumination was on. First plane in the list....A10C outside view only has reduced haze. Same for A10C II...F16C...F5 Tested about 6 so far. F14..C101..BF109 have reduced haze in cockpit . PgUp and Pgdn are assigned to throttle increments and even after clearing those and restarting DCS it still doesnt work for those planes. edit...cockpit illumination needs to be off

In VR haze reduction seems to only in outside view...ie not in cockpit view Great job and many thanks

This is my number 1 go to mod for DCS vr. The sharpness and color adjustment are essential for this blurred cartoon. The sooner ED realise this the better. Many thanks Lefuneste

UI menu..recenter vr..bind whatever you like!

Gpu temps approaching throttling temp at 82deg. That is..your card drawing less power because of heat.I have seen micro stutter when temps get high. So recommend using msi afterburner or something similar. Turn off auto and ramp fan up to bring temps down while gaming. Thus maximising fps.

Please ED get rid of that sky overlay thats centered around Polaris. There is nothing in real life that this overlay simulates. It gets brighter as the sky gets darker..overexposed misplaced muck spoiling VR. Seriously ED....3 steps forward with improved night lighting then 2 steps back.:music_whistling: Edit....noticed this is present in 2d too. Swirling effect centered around the pole star. Nothing in real life this overlay simulates. Absolute garbage!! ps... https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4375252&postcount=4 Mustangs fix..lets hope ED remove this permanently.

Hey guys If the latest open beta update fixed your low FPS problems then disregard. After clearing out the shader folders in saved games and mods terrain misc and using mustangs syria noise fix my FPS got much better.In VR im seeeing good performance even low over cities. Ps Could have been the latest syria patch Edit: After starting today FPS in half again in test mission!! Repaired dcs FPS normal again! Played a couple missions in syria then back to test mission and FPS in half again!! Exit and hit emptystandbylist and FPS normal again! Man get tired of this. Wished Id held off this purchase..will in the future. i9900k..32gb ram..2080 super

Try Mustangs textures latest version. He incorporated this tree fix . With tree slider to max, in 4k I dont see any pop up. In fact the forests are the best ive seen!! Caucasus is stunning with this mod. ED take note!

Wonderful Mustang..maybe your best to date. In 4k forests are superb with zero pop up. I still prefer the vanilla ground texture as it appears more complex to the eye. Your mod has negated those dayglow colors that have reared their ugly head last couple of updates. An altogether more pleasing and realistic image. Superb!

Just a heads up guys...Im back at gamma 2.2. After clearing out shaders in saved games and dcs/mods/terrain/caucasus/misc and installing new graphics driver Im not blinded anymore.

Nice mod...but feel they are too dark on bright day. Try 25% less contrast for better blending too.

LOL thats what I meant:megalol: The sea is your oyster!

Hi all I play in 4k and rift s VR. Some days VR is cool and immersive..other days..meh! This resolution sucks big time. What never disappoints in DCS VR is the water. Every crash gives me heart palpitations. My mind is tricked every time into being invested in it. Drag the view down to wave height in a big swell in VR and Im expecting a mouth full of seawater. I can only last a few moments at sea level because it gives me rising anxiety. I particularly like flying low in the coastal water in a helicopter in the persian gulf. The effect in VR of skimming low over the waves in the shallow lagoons is amazing and when you dip a skid too low...ouch those heart flutters again. You get my drift...big Kudos to the guys and girls at ED for great VR water effects. With the future Marianas map hopefully having lots of shallow coastal seas Id like to request a new feature. Some type of sea level water vehicle for VR kicks.

Renaming your saved games folder amd letting the game build a new one on start up can resolve possible issues.

Confirmed....working before todays patch.

Mouse right click and left click have different functions.....:music_whistling:

Persian gulf looks fine....but somehow Normandy looks brighter than nearer the equator desert!!!

Just tried Normandy and at gamma 1.7 land surface brightness is super garish and almost luminous green. So yes this mod is essential at the present time.

Sorry to break it to you but your PC onboard gfx wont cut it at all....ever!!!!!!!. Any more ranting is a waste of time. Besides all that your some of your settings are way above what they should be. Put all on low and try again.

Stunning work. Game changer in VR. Feels like my eyes have finally cleared in VR with a bump in perceived resolution and clarity. Immersion factor went up a notch. ED needs to get on board with some of this. Once again thanks and congrats for this brilliant VR mod:thumbup:
