Very cool. I'm pretty jealous!!!

oh nice - might give this a go!

You can also use Quad Views Foveated to upscale just the centre of the screen and downscale the periphery. Saves pixels so you can get a clearer main area without increased GPU load. https://github.com/mbucchia/Quad-Views-Foveated There's a companion app to give you a GUI to configure it more easily. https://github.com/TallyMouse/QuadViewsCompanion

It's not like we're all sat in full physical pits here A few extra buttons that a real pilot would need often and be easily able to find by feel seem fine to stick on the HOTAS (to me). There's no right or wrong here.

Agreed - my MCG has 5 4-way+push hats plus other buttons. I'm sure the real aircraft don't have that but I use all of them a lot of the time

Cool - wasn't sure how closely it had been modelled to a real one. I love mine. Being able to change some of the buttons/hats/sticks around is great to make it how you want it too.

VKB MCG is Russian themed https://flightsimcontrols.com/product/modern-combat-grip-ultimate-edition/ they do a plastic non-ultimate version as well

Sorry mate - someone bought it on eBay overnight. Will update this post if that falls through.

Ahh sorry probably should have said! I'm in Maidenhead, but potentially could meet a buyer somewhere if that helps

2 year old VGC Next Level Racing cockpit for sale, as I've upgraded to an MTS setup. Comes with all the various accessories, many of which haven't ever been used, bolts, fasteners and the manual. Only modification is that the centre mount was cut down to allow me to use an extension. It still goes up pretty high so I think it would be fine for non-extended bases also. Seat is in good condition with no tearing of the seams etc. Happy to answer any questions! Collection only from Maidenhead, though open to meeting somewhere in the middle if that helps someone out. Looking for £400 ONO.

Ahh we're seeing this on MP servers e.g. Shadow Reapers. No idea if they have mods running that would affect this. I might see if I can set up a test scenario to recreate in SP.

I'm getting this a lot on the new Germany map - I'm flying low behind trees and AAA are shooting at me from KMs away through the trees. So maybe it's map specific???

Fairly sure I've had Jester release flares for me in a dogfight?

Nope - just spawned in the air in the F-14 and was dogfighting a mate of mine. Looked back and noticed I was leaving a flare trail. I didn't change any ME settings for the jet when I created it either.

Flying last night against some buddies Jester was definitely deploying flares for me without asking.

I swapped to the new DLSS4 and preset K, and I still get ghosting around the edges of aircraft in flight with DLAA. So it definitely doesn't eliminate all ghosting. Went back to MSAA.

For him in non-VR yeah probably - I only added that to illustrate the size of the gain....

Been tinkering with settings over the weekend to try and improve DCS performance, and the setting that made the most difference for me, for the least impact, was turning off the Terrain Object Shadows. Ok so you don't get shadows from the thousands of trees and buildings, but do I really notice when going Mach 1 or concentrating on a bogey? No, and the shadows were often pretty janky anyway. I got enough performance back to use MSAA 4x, and up my PD to 1.4. The game has never looked better for me in VR...... Suggested it to my mate and his non-VR FPS went from 120 to 210 just from doing this.

I'm surprised QVF doesn't help you?

Welcome to a long road of painful tweaking and tinkering to get something you're happy with There are a LOT of variables you can play with, and what's acceptable to one person isn't acceptable to another. I'd suggest putting the headset in 72Hz. Then you either a) need to target 72FPS, or b) use ASW to target 36 (half your refresh rate). BUT that will give you some weird ghosting effects and you might hate it (I do). Consider using QVF to limit the area of the screen that is 'full detail', again to save FPS. https://github.com/mbucchia/Quad-Views-Foveated/wiki/#download--installation and https://github.com/TallyMouse/QuadViewsCompanion to configure it. Start with your settings low and start bumping things up until they look good but don't perform badly. You're just going to have to experiment. I've got a similar spec to you and I cannot max things out and hit a stable 72FPS. You have to pick and choose where to bump up and where to compromise.

Thanks - do I get that from the Ctrl-Pause displays?

Hey, I'm running my Quest 3 at 72hz and both my OpenXRTK FPS counter and the DCS FPS counter tops out at 72, even though I assume at times it must be rendering over that. Is it possible to get it to show what the game is actually rendering, so I can see how much headroom I've got for tweaking? I assume this should be possible.... I've got the FPS target slider in DCS set all the way to 300, no throttling set in OpenXRTK, and Vsync off in DCS. Cheers!

If you might want to dabble with MP later, get Syria. Most servers use that or Caucasus, and Syria is a really nice map that's had lots of updates. I have Sinai and never use it, and Nevada looks pretty dated.

Worth noting that OpenXR Toolkit is no longer maintained or supported. You get turbo mode through QVF if you're using that though.

Thanks @BIGNEWY He was adamant he'd downloaded them, and I've not downloaded any F-4 liveries as it came with so many. Will have to do some more digging with him to see what he's picking
