Hi Hollywood, getting my feet wet with Viacom Pro and loving it. Finally getting the hang of it. 2 quick questions if I may, when I start Voice Attack, I keep getting prompted to download the Rio hotfix something.1.1. I must have downloaded it like 10 times. Maybe it’s not taking? Not a tremendous big deal because I’m not currently flying the Tomcat but would be nice not to keep getting the prompt if possible. 2...I recently lost the ability to play the chatter through my headphones. It plays fine through my speakers though. I have my setup going through Voicemeter banana so it can play through my stereo, run my buttkicker for simshaker and also wanted to have it run through my headphones. It used to work fine. I now can’t get it to play through my headphones no matter what I set the output device to in the Viacom config window. I know ideally I should set that to my headphones but when I do I don’t get the static to recognize my PTT input. When I set it to Voicemeter banana though I can get the acknowledgement from the PTT. Either way though the chatter only plays through the speakers and obviously can’t enjoy it with my headphones on. Any thoughts were I might be going wrong? Thanks for the amazing program and contribution to the sim! Jason

Is anyone using Project Lasso with the Reverb? And does it help? My performance is decent but as all of us looking for better. Have Steam SS at 100% and MSAA off on my Titan RTX. My GPU memory only at like 9 gb but is I try and push the SS or MSAA higher my framtime tanks out. CPU frametime seems ok. Is view distance CPU or GPU bound? Thanks Jason

Thanks Joey

Interestingly enough, I have no metashaders folder in my stable install. Only a metashaders.2. My first post referenced my beta install with both folders

Trying deleting my fxo and metashaders folder since I’ve had a lot of changes recently. Do we also delete the metafx folder inside metashaders? I also noticed in my install I have a metashaders.2 folder in my saved games. Is this normal? Do I delete this too? Thanks, Jason

Oh nice. Thanks Baldrick. That was dopey of me!

One more thing, should we expect slightly better performance once DCS is WMR natively? Just curious

The Reverb is something else for sure. Trying to get my settings dialed in. Is anyone using MSAA or is that a no go? Not sure I even see much a difference other than performance. Have all shadows off and dropped my view distance to high. Any other recs in NVIDiA inspector or WMR portal. I did visuals high and refresh rate 90. Left SteamVR at 100% resolution as it seems that bug has been smashed. Turning on motion vector reprojection smoothed things out but hate the box in the upper left. Guess it’s helpful for tweaking though. Also, there was one time I lost movement in the cockpit other than rotation. Anyone else have that happen? Any suggestions greatly welcomed

Okay thanks guys! And here’s the link https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=228378

Got the Reverb up and running and all I can say is wow. I’m guessing I need to enable motion vector reprojection in steam by editing the config files still? Or is that no longer relevant as that guide was written awhile ago? Also, I keep having to reboot my system to wake up my HMD if I close down WMR portal. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance

Pleasant surprise. Been following this thread for months and just ordered my Reverb from HP on Tuesday (upgrading from Vive Pro). Did t expect it til end of next week and it arrived today! May need to lean on many of you guys for setup and tweaking. Never used WMR before but have the beta module installed in steam already. Can’t wait! Thanks to all you guys that have been doing the heavy lifting reporting on the Reverb and setup over last several months. Just to make sure I’m reading the thread correctly. Those made in the 31st week are the new ones?

Yea again wasn’t really complaining. My performance still seems enjoyable. Just trying to figure out where and what’s limiting me. Interesting turning down a bunch of stuff doesn’t really seem to affect my frame time in SteamVR in the positive direction. And nothing seems maxed out on my system other than my frame time being choked out. GPU z seems to suggest my voltage reliability is capping my GPU but since I have my power maxed out in overclock guess that’s all I’m gonna get. As with all things in DCS it’s fun to learn and experiment. That search for perfection can be all consuming at times though.

Lots of good suggestions. Thanks guys

Recently had a motherboard melt down and had to build a new rig from the ground up. As crushing as that was it was also exciting as it was a chance to improve my VR performance in my Vive Pro (while I wait for the Reverb to get its act together). Got a 9900 k delidded which overclocks nicely to 5.1 MHz and added a Titan RTX overclocked and water cooled. Also added Corsair Dominator Platinum ram (3400 MHz and 64 mb). Figured that would give me some good punch and extra breathing room. The performance is certainly improved and decent...but far from perfect. In trying to figure out my limiting component I simply can’t. No core is maxed out...actually highest runs at 35% usage. Obviously plenty of ram. And my Titan says it is only using 9 mb of ram and max 60-65 % usage. Yet SteamVR shows my frame times around 28-31 ms. Obviously reprojection is kicking in. And yes I have most of my settings maxed out. This isn’t really to complain about the performance more a question of what the limiting factor is. Is it DCS code? Is this a SteamVR problem? On my old machine I could see I was frequently maxing out my processor (albeit at 4.4 mhz) as well as my old Titan Xp card (often hitting 90-100% usage). I know I could turn off shadows and turn off MSAA (from 2-0) but the addict in me really wants to push it. Interestingly enough, turning most settings up does very little to deteriorate my performance. Guess I should be grateful for that. Any insight or knowledge greatly appreciated. Cheers, Jason

Addendum- my Jetseat still seems to communicate with SimShaker Thanks, Jason

Hi guys, Recently had to replace my motherboard and CPU....same hard drives. I can't get my buttkicker to fire (have it setup as guided by F410 in a previous post) and was working perfectly til the crash. Now I get this error Thank you for using SimShaker software! Visit me at https://andres.shop to find more interesting offers! Happy flying :) 0:11:39.968 beta SimShaker Sound Module | Version 2.12 0:11:40.31 InvalidOperationException. Selected NIC with num = 0 Any thoughts? I have the buttkicker hooked to my line out on my Realtech audio on my motherboard. Thanks, Jason

ah thank you...thought I was losing my mind. Guess Victory must be editing all of them

Feeling really stupid right now. Was about to dive into some bed time reading by downloading the the PDFs in the stickied threads at the top of this forum. I can't for the life of me seem to find the PDF or file to download. Aren't they usually linked to the bottom of the first post? Thanks in advance for the noob question Jason

Nice job RV. I made a mod with it for OvGME and working great now til fixed

Hi Hollywood, I’m having trouble getting voice comms and chatter loud enough to hear over background DCS in my headphones. I have all DCS sliders at 50%, increased the two separate volume knobs (main Viacom config page and the comms on the audio page). I’m also dedicating communications to my headphones. Still struggling though. I’ve checked the listening as if through headphones in DCS I’ve tried lowering some DCS volumes settings with no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Perhaps I’m lowering the wrong sliders? Thanks, Jason PS- loving the software in VR

Yup just like LCDR Rip

Mine is even more cut off than that Madtuff. Half my menu whee isn’t visible

Sadly reducing PD didn’t help

I’m using VR and my jester wheel became huge and half of it disappears under the nose of the plane. Can’t use it at all anymore

Thanks F410. I went to uninstall it and it gave me the option to modify it or restore it or something. I did that and it now works like a charm. Problem solved. Thanks for your quick replies as always. Be safe On the road. It’s strange how bland and vanilla it feels to fly without SSA when you are used to it being there haha Jason
