S-GERAT

Same here, I simply log out on Windows and after log in it works.

Received mine this morning and only had a few minutes to connect it at midday before return to work.. Until today was using the Odyssey + so I only had to plug in and it works directly. When I put in my head I was shocked by the quality of the visuals.. didn't expect so much improvement ( Was running the Odyssey at 180 % in steam vr with a resolution higher than the native Reverb ) and when I run DCS was shocked again. In the F-18 I can read perfectly every letter and dial in the cockpit, and looking outside I can see much more detail and at longer distances.. feel like viewing through a monitor. I can see the SDE unlike the Odyssey + but the visuals are far far better. Only had two minutes on DCS before moving to work, but was very impressed. Tonight I look at the steam vr settings, maybe I was running DCS with a 180 SS over the native Reverb resolution.. but has been a magical moment. Let's see how it feels in motion.. PS : I'm at W10 1809 version, not planning to upgrade because the 60 hz mode fiasco in 1903.

You are right, only in the open beta for now..

The circles disappeared two or three patches ago. Seems that ED is playing with the shadows, in fact, the same patch that solves the circles erases the pilot body shadows..:cry:

It has been like that since the F18 launch.. Can't understand why isn't fixed yet.

This, nobody is asking for any that wasn't advertised by the devs. But seems that some promises were done before the investment of that company on heatblur. Now HB is planning ( or working ) in their own sim, so I suppose they would try to finish their modules as fast and with the lowest effort possible in order to move all their people to the other project. Is sad because these people are the best third party devs and we're going to miss planes like the intruder.. Hope they luck with the new sim, maybe it does good to DCS too, because a competitor is always an incentive to do better things..

No, is not working fine. The rain effect in VR isn't the same than in the monitor. Is incomplete.

That's because he edited the shadows.lua in order to enhance the shadow visuals. I have the same problem and the circles become bigger with the size of the shadowmap. AFAIK it only happens in the Hornet.

Havadarya in the persian gulf map has a good slope.

Been doing this today, and found that with shadows with a value superior to 3072 the F18 DDI's screens get a ugly shadow in the screens. The upper the value, the biggest is the shadows in the screen. Maybe that's the reason for ED to remove the ultra setting..

So.. is something scheduled for today ?

In reality I don't know if the problem is caused by DCS.. After updating to 1903 I get the misalignment, but after switching to the 90 hz mode the problem disappears. Strangely after that, I put the 60 hz mode again and the misalignment didn't happen. I prefer the 60hz mode because I feel fine at this refresh rate and it allows me to bump the graphic settings with a 50 % margin, but in this Windows version they cut the fov of the visor at 60 hz mode and make this mode unusable. There are some people moaning about a loss of image sharpness in this version too, but it didn't happen to me. Hope MS fix all these problems, I am very happy with how the O+ behaves in the 1809 version and was thinking about buying a Reverb.

That window opens all the times until you click save and close. And the misalignment is very evident you simply can't use dcs with it, so for your words you're not suffering it. Don't worry and enjoy.

One thing that ever seems strange to me was the poor performance when looking at the sides compared to front views. This is something easy to find when flying over forests at caucasus. If you are looking forward the fps are fine, but if you look a forest from the side the fps go down. Like if the engine ever is rendering the front view and when looking at the sides it have double work to do.

I own the Odyssey + since launch and never had this problem. Today I updated to W10 1903 version and get this eye misalignment bug. I also lost the possibility to use the 60hz mode without losing FOV and the image seems worst than before. Revert the W10 to 1809 version and all the problems disappear.

Being made of polymer does not mean is gonna have the same weight or touch of the real one. I'm curious how much is going to weight the TM grip.. can't imagine with the same weight than the T-50 which feels like a toy compared with the Warthog.

DCS Updater => Switch version to release => Enjoy Obviously if there is a major bug that breaks DCS totally is useless to launch the update , but I can live without a module or with a bug in a determinate situation.

Here we go again :pilotfly:

Is a nonsense. A openbeta this week without a third party module and another openbeta with that third party module next week is better than no openbeta this week. Nobody is hurt because the ones willing to play with that module are not receiving it for the beta until the next week so.. Anyways and as somebody has said before.. anyone deserve anything and ED is going to do whatever they want so..

Which is the purpose of the stable branch then ? The update could have been released yesterday without that third party module, and include it the next week update. This happened in the past and we choose if run the stable or the beta branch. Probably the delay isn't only due a third party and ED need to fix some things too.

Well, right now the open beta and the release are exactly the same version, so even if the new open beta bring a catastrophe shouldn't be any drama.

Didn't known that the trick to activate the "new" clouds still works.. and looking at the results.. what a disappointment. Seems that we are years away of having decent clouds.. :doh:

I though the color banding issue was due to DCS.. but if is happening now I didn't notice it.. Definitively no mura.. the screens look great with darkness. This is a through lens photo, will try to do one at night.

I'm very happy with the O+ and the visuals at night. For example, there is a training mission for the F18 AIM7 Sparrows in PG map. The mission starts at evening and when the sun is totally hidden you can't see nearly anything.. maybe some coastline.. lights of cities.. etc. In fact, sometimes I end going to khasab AB to land and I can't see the mountains around the city if there isn't any light close to them. After land and in the Tarmac I can nearly see the texture of the closest ridge.. but everything seems very natural. Before the O+ I used the CV1 and the visuals at night were a lot worse.. but I think the CV1 also had OLED displays so I don't know how the new LCD panels look.

Right now the spotting has improved a lot over time, at least in VR. I remember than in the past that putting a low resolution or a low supersampling value allows to spotting a lot better than with high res or ss which was weird. Now I can see the other planes from miles of distance and the reflections allow to see them a lot easily during dogfights. Of course in some cases is hard to find the other planes in the sky, but it happen in the real world too. There are some problems with how the models look at some distances and is very annoying because you are seeing the contact and it disappear suddenly while you are are closing.
