I see strange behavior too with navigation, but I don't know if it's the module or my lack of understanding. I'm reading the manual on these issues but I see no mention.
-
I did press space bar, many times. I'll give it another shot soon and see if it gets through

Hi,
I can't get past the part where I turn the knob +5 and +10 to make sure the HSI is functioning properly. I press spacebar and move the course knob plus and minus with appropriate change, but no advancing.
-
Yeah, I had to hold left click and then right click then wiggle the pedals. I don't know what that function does, but it helped me get past it.
The other issue I had was with the radio buttons and wheels, but randomly messing with that stuff got me past that.
Otherwise I'm having a lot of fun learning this one!
-
Training mission coldstart, I can't get past rudder pedal adjustment. I pull the lever, but it doesn't progress.
Nevermind, figured it out!

If you are testing FPS, try a free flight in an empty map first (with mission editor). Check FPS and then try a mission with AI units.
I did.
And 30fps is generous!!! :clap:
-
Is anyone else's AI completely useless?
In the deployment campaign, they won't help out with targeting air defenses, tanks, APCs, etc. Even if I ask them to recon, they don't know how to fire missiles. :huh:

Logged in again and used the VR after playing at 100+ FPS 4k on Ultra.
I'm at 30fps with the Index.
:beer:
-
Can anyone confirm whether the English cockpit is available?
-
You can always tell the Index owners are happy.... it's crickets in here again lol.
Nope, VR is still terrible. Haven't used it extensively in several months.

I was flying an instant mission in my Hornet last night using my Rift S and my stomach sank during a roll while dodging flak. That has never happened in my years of TrackIR use.
That's called motion sickness. :doh:
-
I'm still, after about 2 years, undecided
Should I get VR or should I not ?
Money is not an issue, the only thing I can't understand, is the way you " find " all the buttons you need
Throttle, joystick, keyboard...
As every DCS player knows, when flying over Caucasus map, there is no " sense -perception of speed "
Sometime, when I fly the F18 / F14 / M2000C / very low altitude, I have the feeling I drive a fast car
Is that the same with VR ?
Which VR headset would you recommend, guys ?
I7 9700K@5.0 GHz, 32 GB DDR4, RTX 2080 Ti
Thank you
Don't get VR if it's only for DCS, it's just not ready yet.
However, if you're at all interested in other uses of VR like for games (space pirate trainer, beat Saber, superhot), Google Earth, tilt brush, then go for it, you'll love it.
I'd recommend the Valve Index just because the controls are so good for those fun VR games.

Watch some gameplay video YouTube, how many times do they use crazy zoom level to VID ?
I do too when playing on flat screen.
Limit that zoom and VID on screen won't be any better...
They are using 1080p mostly, some 1440p. Very few run 4k.

you sure your ipd is properly set? i have used my rift cV1 with a 1060 3gb and eventually got a 1080, and never felt that way. I'm able to spot a carrier or a tanker from around 20 miles out, obviously fighters at closer ranges and flying alongside some sqn partners who use monitors, visual contact doesn't seem an issue to me.
i also use three mfds and a ufc, so please tell me how I'm less useful then others. seriously never felt that way, quite the contrary but I'm assuming that happens because I'm putting a lot of flight hours simply because with vr i enjoy things a lot. so I'm getting better flying skills at all levels.
there is no way I'm waiting for vr technology to mature while not flying, cv1 for me is more than enough to jump the train and keep enjoying the journey. if everything goes good, i will upgrade to rift s. somehow I'm on a tight budget so i can afford more expensive stuff and don't think it's worth because those models also age as tech evolves.
also fly xplane, and simracing with assetto, ac competizione, rfactor2 and more and then other games like robo recall or beat saber.
did you also try vr stol or xplane or other flight sims like aero fly 2?
is dcs the only software disappointing you?
IPD set up properly. I use X-Plane too, and satisfied. DCS is the only thing I'm disappointed in.
Try the 8v8 Hornet instant action mission and see how effective you are. Your win percentage might be 0% (and even then you might still be shooting down your buddies in WVR because of difficulty identifying aircraft.
-
That is *not* the point. It's about the total package. The sense of flying, of sitting in fighter/helo of your choice. Your missing the ENTIRE point.
I'll state it again. You can look at a picture of Grand Canyon in 4k, 8K. Or you can be there. It's a personal choice and I choose the latter.
You keep mentioning gimmicks as the main draw to DCS VR, but most people use DCS to study aircraft systems and fly tactical missions.
The fun of sitting in a cockpit is quickly lost when you realize you have 25% of the combat effectiveness of an actual pilot.
-
It doesn’t worth the try with remi. He is anti-VR.
I'm not anti VR, I play 75% of my games currently in VR, just not DCS because of performance and graphics problems.
Steam has a huge library of VR games that are a lot of fun, and most importantly, FPS at 120hz.
The rest of the time I play DCS in 4k. There's nothing like feeling like you're in the Hornet cockpit and functioning like a real Hornet pilot in glorious 4k clarity.
-
ED has made great strides in improving VR experience. And when technologies like vulkan are released, I'm sure it'll get even better.
Like the promised 50% VR performance improvement that never materialized?
-
What are your computer specs and what headset are you using?
9900k @5.1ghz
2080ti FE
32gb ram
Valve index
Baseline is Rog 4k 144hz HDR monitor.
You can turn all the graphics settings down for true potato vision, but I doubt that's what you're hoping to accomplish.
-
As a corollary, read the other comments in this thread.
Nowhere do they say they function more effectively in VR compared to traditional displays, they focus more on the gimmick of immersion.
If you can't read cockpit instruments easily, if you can't spot targets around you easily, then you're functioning more like a passenger on an amusement park ride than a pilot in an F/A-18 in actual combat.
-
It's not worth the hit:
Worse FPS performance
Worse graphics compared to 4k
Worse tactical performance
I think in 5-10 years, assuming ED is able to redo both the graphics engine and simulation engine, DCS will be great in VR.
There are plenty of other companies that make great VR airplane simulations, and for them they have graphics/simulation engines that are more modern compared to ED's 1990s engine.

OK got my Index to-day can any one tell me the best settings I am only getting 40FPS and its a bit jerky my Rift was smooth I have an i9-9900 and 2080TI and also have 32 GB memory. Also at 120 refresh the green cross used to hover of things to click does not work but does get better FPS???
I'd like some help too because I have the same specs and the same terrible performance.
-
OK, tried with ASW off and found it unplayable.
I will put up with a bit of judder and leave ASW on i think.
Thanks.
The judder is truly terrible. You can instead turn down the settings for potato vision.

Has anyone tried to put the IR sensor behind you facing the screen?

I'm interested in how much FPS are really lost between a 4k monitor an a VR like Index or Reverb. Can you please provide a screenshot comparison with the 100+ FPS and the same scenario with 4k? (No supersampling. Just as much pixels rendered as can be shown by the displays.)
The Valve Index is equipped with two LCD screens featuring a 1440×1600 resolution per eye (2880×1600 combined resolution).
4,608,000 pixels total
4k is 3840 x 2160 pixels
8,294,400 pixels total
I'm getting double the FPS in 4k compared with VR.
The Valve Index has 55% of the pixels of 4k. That means that DCS 4k has 4x better performance than the Index in DCS VR.
There's something seriously wrong with DCS VR. And the quality of in-game textures, models, lighting is far better in 4k anyway.

The new FLIR looks great.
