An awesome written book about aviation engines development during the WW2 - British, German, American and Italian. https://www.calum-douglas.com/current-book-the-secret-horsepower-race/ After reading some 60% of the book, one must appreciate the effort of engineers to squeeze the power out of often pre-war designs by improving fuels, materials, bearing manufacturing technology, inventing new alloys and at the same time, plus coordinating their effort with aircraft manufacturers, aviation ministries, ministers for aircraft production and air force itself. Stellite, iso-octane, tetraethyl lead, sleeve valve, oil acid corrosion, chroming of the valve seats? Two-speed two-stage supercharger versus turbocharging? Bended wanes, direct injection, eye of the supercharger, platinum-iridium sparkplugs, lack of precious metals affecting the valve materials, which affected the possible manifold pressure, which affected the reliability and power, you name it. Plenty of original records from high level engineers-ministries meetings, showing the level of coordination to get right engine for the right airplane in time in the air. Must read for all WW2 aviation buffs.

Do you use OpenXR toolkit? To get smooth performance on my 4080 I need to 1) use SteamVR as OpenXR runtime 2) switch on reprojection and limit the fps to 90 in OpenXR toolkit first page 3) check both reprojection rendering settings on OpenXR tools. Try DLSS quality antialiasing, this allows me to fly at PD 1.5 with excellent results and visuals compared to MSAA. Also try resetting the nvidia panel to default settings as suggested above.

Where to find it? I see 2.6.9. only. https://simshaker-for-aviators.github.io/SimShaker-for-Aviators-Releases/

Hi Andre, I meant the Jetseat does not do nothing with the two-seater F1. CE and EE work (vrrrrm) ok.

Hello gents, the latest two-seater Mirage F1 has no vrrrrm effect, anyone else? All other planes work well. Thanks!

DO you fly with reprojection on or off?

When I have res in openxr toolkit 3168 x something and in-game PD 1.5 and want to have in-game PD 1.0 and set just the toolkit res, what will it be? 3168*1.5 or *1.22 (assuming PD means percentage against the original pixel count and toolkit res a size of the pixel count). PS insanely high res with dlss quality gives awesome picture quality and smoothness for my 4080, reprojection on.

Dlss can handle insane pixel density. I am at 1.5, resolution in Toolkit 3156x30something and it looks awesome and runs like a dream. G2, 4080.

Guys with stuttering, try fps throttling option in openxr toolkit. I meed to set mine to 90 to get absolutely smooth gameplay (4080, reprojection on, dlaa, pd 1.0, toolkit resolution 3000xsometing, g2).

Spitfire cockpit is awesome.

PD in-game set to 1.0 and in openxr custom render scale at 100%, res at WMR 100%. Hmm now you get me to think; if I set PD 0.8, would the DLSS do its upscaling job to make it look like.. what?

DCS runs extremely well here on 4080, picture quality is very stable, no shimmering at all. From quality to performance 1. DLAA the best, runs better thatn previous 2xMSAA and looks 100x better 2. DLSS quality (looks almost as DLAA but runs better) 3. DLSS balanced (slightly worse, especially distant objects but runs again better) 4. DLSS performance - runs very well but picture quality is getting poor. I tried back 2xMSAA and man it was poor performance, jaggy, shimmering. I tested everything above Argentinian cities and big forests which are very demanding. In Caucasus I believe I can run DLAA with no problems. PS. VR, G2

Guys just restart the download, I did so three times and the remaining Giga are always smaller so it remembers what was downloaded.

Anyone else tired of refreshing the dcs website, hoping for "bignewy commented on patch status" notification..

2 seater F1 and who knows, 2.9 with dlss?

Click those two options in openxr tools under the reprojection.

Open the Windows OpenXR tools and check both options under the reprojection settings. Nvidia flow and something else.

Starfighters served well with Canadians and Spanish air forces. That Krauts flew it down low in clouds above German hilly countryside, having the last stick time in 109s ain't Starfighter"s fault.

Might be, but it makes a hell of difference this way. If I switch off reprojection in openxr tools, the reprojection info disappears in the toolkit completely but the reprojection is still on (strange, as it is switched off everywhere). But it runs worse than if enabling it in oxr tools. I believe I run openxr/steamvr mode as wmr complains at startup about openxr not being blablah and suggesting a fix.

I have finally found the best combination of settings for me: Nvidia 4080/5600x/64GB RAM/HP Reverb G2 - MT icon with usual --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR comment - OpenXR runtime in SteamVR settings set to SteamVR (if set to OpenXR, reprojection and picture quality is worse, albeit performance better) - in OpenXR toolkit, System tab/Reprojection set to Default - in OpenXR tools, reprojection switched to Best frame rate and ticked two options bellow (one "disable flow.." for nvidia cards and "prefer fps over latency") - in-game OpenXR toolkit, fps throttling set to 90 (all other numbers lead to stutter) - i have openxr tools res at 100%, in-game PD 1.0 - in SteamVR everything at default, motion smoothing off, per application DCS disabled. The trick is to switch reprojection in OpenXR tools and let it Default at OpenXR tookit, plus throttling the frame rate at certain number. In Il-2, the same settings but throttling at 45 fps and use OpenXR runtime.

If you use OpenComposite, make sure you tick Switch to SteamVR AND you set the SteamVR as OpenXR runtime in the SteamVR settings.

I have it enabled in openxr tools and reprojection settings disappeared from openxr toolkit. But MR is definitely on. Runs like dream with 90 fps cap on 4080.

Am I the only one who can not go though the training missions at all? On screen training text had disappeared for all modules for me some time ago but one can pause and read past messages, but with F1 it is simply too much - random levers are lit by golden star, there are short radio screeches and no text, no voice to navigate through the process.

I guess less artifacts in motion reprojection. Great!
