Funnily enough, I actually do own 3 Reverbs.i had to come back to check out the new WMR features. As expected, they didn't solve the problems.

So I just tried the motionvector option, and my framerate dropped by half, down from 60 to 30. Pretty damn crappy. Back to 2D for me!

Note that I have tried this before, but my results weren't quite as lovely. I found that this: //"motionReprojectionMode" : "auto", Is MUCH smoother than this: "motionReprojectionMode" : "auto", Will try this tonight: "motionReprojectionMode" : "motionvector",

After recently going from 32GB of DDR4 2666 to 3866MHZ, I can categorically state that faster RAM won’t help at all.

Very interesting. So to try this I simply remove // from the start of that line, and change auto to motionvector? Will give it a shot once you confirm, thank you.

Oh man, I’ve wasted hours because I flew straight to WP1. How do I tell Jester to choose FP1 instead?

Realistically we should expect minimal improvement, despite how long its taking. It has taken over a decade for DCS to get to this stage;redoing the entire engine from scratch in two, with only a small portion of the dev team, is unlikely. Still, I'd love to be wrong on this one.

Fantastic post Wali. Great to read your thoughts, and appreciate you taking the time to reply in such detail. Can you imagine how freaking amazing DCS in VR is going to be in five years, when we have even higher resolutions, beautiful colours and razor sharp performance? I don't know how I'm going to do anything else other than play my flight sim when this occurs!

Fixed, thank you very much!

I think his point is that we shouldn't expect a dramatic performance increase. The DCS Edge engine is being ported to Vulkan, not a full rewrite (as far as I've seen anyway), which means that it won't fully take advantage of multi-core CPUs.

From the reviews and impressions I've seen, of which there are many, Pimax is rubbish. If you want the sharpest image quality, the Reverb is the one. I have this, but found the asynchronous reprojection killed VR for me. Many don't have issues with it though.

VRSS will never work in DCS, unless they basically rewrite the entire gfx engine from scratch. Not gonna happen.

That is correct.

Cost me 160 bucks to get the F14 manual made by Chuck printed, but after reading it all, now use my IPad mini, as it allows me to easily search and bookmark pages. I believe many real fighter pilots now use an IPad.

Awesome find, thank you!!!!

Quick note about Asynch Reproj. It's actually always enabled with WMR HMDs. Your text file change simply uses a different algorithm than the normal. It displays different artefacts compared to the normal mode. After over 150 hours of VR tweaking and testing, I could not find a way to disable asynch warp. The only way to do it automatically is to match your FPS to the HMD's refresh rate, either 60 or 90, depending o what you set in the WMR options. I've been meaning to write a detailed post about this, as 99% of VR users totally misunderstand what it does, and how it works.

Happy to help if you need an Aussie accent. I’ve got training in voiceover work thanks to my past video production work.

I wouldn’t expect miracles regarding Vulkan,both in terms of release date or performance increase. We can hope for the best, but based on other games ported to this API, the performance increase is minimal. It’s only when the entire graphics engine is designed from the ground up that substantial performance gains can be made. From what I can tell, the DCS Edge engine will just be a port, not a complete rewrite. I’d love to be wrong, but am pinning my hopes on better VR performance on the upcoming 3080 Ti.

Yeah, nah. Didn't happen unfortunately.

Short answer - nope. You either love the immersion and deal with the shortcomings of VR, or you give up VR's immersion for the detail of 2D.

Try Persian Gulf - it's a very simple map indeed, but still chugs.

Hey mate, one thing I found that helps this is to lower the in-game gamma options a notch or two.

Thanks mate, 92701. I think I only did step 1 of starting a ticket last time. Can't wait to get back online in my 'Cat!

Am sure I tried that weeks ago with no reply. Will try again.

Hey folks My DCS online login, the one that I’m prompted whenever the game loads and allows me to play online, is tied to an old email address that I no longer have access to. Unfortunately that ISP is now closed for good, so I can’t request access to it. The problem is that I’ve forgotten the password associated with this email address. Thankfully I can play offline without any problems via Steam, but I’d like to play online as well. 1.) How do I reset my password, without having access to that email address? 2.) Can I change that email address to my new one? Thanks!
