Hi evanswillo, I am using the original VR1 Tool stable release, so perhaps I will have more joy when it is updated. Only have one screen, so not a complex setup. Yes clean windows 11 fresh installation with band new PC (5090). Good point regarding lens inserts. I had not thought of that. I do use lens inserts. I will try IPD calibration without the lens inserts fitted and report back. That might solve it. Though, to tell you the truth, I find the VR1 so good that life without ET is not likely to be an issue. I was curious about trying it because I have not experienced ET before. Quick question if I may. Out of interest. Do you find any benefit from using Space-warp? I have been using it from the start, but am now testing with Space-warp turned off and so far I have not noticed any difference. Many thanks for your feedback. Happy landings, Talisman

Thanks evanswillo. The VR1 Tool will not let me enable ET until I have calibrated IPD. Every time I try to enable ET I am referred back to calibrate IPD. But the IPD calibration fails to function for me. So, no IPD calibration means I can't even pass 'go' to try ET at the moment. Still no reply from Somnium. Will try and make contact with them again soon. Thanks again. Happy landings, Talisman

Finally been trying to get openxr to work, but not much joy. First off, openxr doesn't like canted rendering and gives a double image, so I tried with canted rendering off and that worked. However, frame rates for same settings in vr1 tool drop from 90 fps with steam vr down to 56 fps max with openxr. Also, the image stutters constantly. I am using the release version of the vr1 tool, not the beta version. Second problem I have with the Somnium VR1 is that I am unable to get the IPD calibration to work, so can't use eye tracking. I always get the following 2 fault messages whenever I try to calibrate IPD: null Do any of you folks have any ideas as to why I might be getting the above error messages. Perhaps I am missing something simple. I have e-mailed the Somnium VR Team regarding the above error messages but they have been ignoring me so far. Does anyone have a good contact at Somnium for customer support? I can't find a customer support contact anywhere on the Somnium web site. Any suggestions, hint and tips from any of you folks using the Somnium VR1 would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Happy landings, Talisman

In the image below, Canted Rendering is turned off (second up from the bottom). Try selecting on to see if you get a better sweet spot/improved visual experience. After I turned it on I closed down everything and started it up again, just to be sure it had taken. Worked much better turned on for me. Good luck.

Further to last, Canted Rendering gives me a much better sweet spot and is a plus for me. Mileage may vary for others, but it I always fly with Canted Rendering on now for much better visuals. I did not immediately notice the improvement when I first tried it because I was so focused on checking the edges of my vision expecting a wider FOV. Happy landings, Talisman

Loving the great VR visuals flying mostly low level in the Huey and some Chinook. Also racing the free Mustang TF-51D and the Phantom is great fun in VR. Happy landings, Talisman

Hi evanswillo, Have you tried the Canted Rendering option on at all? I thought if I turned it on it might give me a wider FOV, but I found no difference at all in the visuals. I did notice that the resolution number displayed in the the VR1 tool dropped though and I got a lower overall resolution in SteamVR when I turned Canted Rendering on. Happy landings, Talisman

Hi Amazonia, Going well, but I am still very much exploring. I intend to give OpenXR more of a go soon. I don't feel able to give a hearty overall recommendation yet, but the visuals are great! Happy landings, Talisman

Not been using DCS and SimShaker for a while, but now back warbird racing using version 2.9.4.0 with the TF-51D and still getting this same problem when I fly the Mustang. ShimShaker cuts out mid flight after working for 20 minutes or so and I get the above "index was out of range" message. Any ideas F4I0? I am using a standard HF8 I see that granola1861 (above) has been having the same problem and also posted on Discord. A solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. Happy landings, Talisman

Yes Andre, in my case the standard HF8. Thanks for asking. Happy landings, Talisman

I hope this will be for the Huey and other helicopters too. Happy landings, Talisman

I have updated to beta version 2.9.4.0 but have not had a chance to use and test it much yet. Have you had any problems with 2.9.4.0 at all? Come to think of it, yes, If I remember correctly I was warbird flying the last time it stopped on me. I will make a note next time. Happy landings, Talisman

Big than you TimberWolf Problem solved!! I had disabled the launcher in settings thinking I did not need it. Now I see why I need the launcher after all, lol. Many thanks for taking the time to respond to this thread, I am very grateful to you. Thank you also to everybody else that that chipped in to help me along the way. Happy landings, Talisman

Many thanks. I disabled the launcher, so maybe if I enable it again I will get this option before Steam VR starts up. Will let you know if this works. Happy landings, Talisman Thanks. Could be last resort. Probably sounds daft, but I am not sure I have the understanding or confidence to try this though. Happy landings, Talisman
