put Mig21 in VR hangar and stand next to it. you will see it is no way 4.806m (15 ft 9 in) high. calibrate you hmd and test floor level by lying on it in the hangar. ))

I too see no difference between OFF and 16Q! But FPS is dropping in my case. Zoom into the two screens attached and notice how jagged the white text box is. I did re-launch DCS for changes to take effect. PD=1, of course.

7 months on, the bug is still present. And DCS just turned down my support ticket and told me to use this forum. What's the point?

Going myself from GTX760 to 1080 (and back TWICE!!), you will likely be disappointed to drop that kind of money for a barely noticeable gain. PD 2.0 is nice, but you will still see FPS dropping to 45 with ATW and targets appear as double. The only solution for me to get a stable 90 FPS is LOW visibility and NO shadows. 1080 works 90-100%, and CPU is slacking, but it still does need overclocking to push objects via DirectX bottleneck. I find PD 2 indeed improving readability of the instruments, but only in the center of your vision in OR. Off-sweetspot distortions drive me crazy and I cannot fly more than 10-15 minutes. I have 20/20 vision, so the whole thing gives me headaches if I fly longer ((( Just my $0.02.

Awesome!!!

Sorry, we seem to have mixed two threads, but the topic is roughly the same. I see not difference whatsoever in my tests whether MSAA in off or maxed out. 1080 chews up any objects you throw at it. The bottleneck is elsewhere, and the trick is to reduce the number of said objects. I also see no difference visually between Low and Medium visibility range, but the former gives me a couple more FPS. As for the trees distance maxed out - I hate it when they start appearing in front of my eyes.

Hi Shrike. Sorry. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2884624&postcount=10

Well, my (HT)PC is inside a niche in the wall under TV with plenty of space around and one big fan blowing air in (and onto the video card), and three smaller ones blowing hot air out. It is now very hot in Spain (+30 at home), so I opened the doors for hot air to escape. I played a lot with the game specs and OC settings. No one here, as far as I know, can play DCS at max settings in VR with any hardware. I am getting smooth 45-90 FPS and nice visuals with the attached settings, 1928/10500 card clocks, 372.70 driver, DCS 1.5.4. stable, "VR Shadows" and "No tree shadows" mods. My Fire Storm score is 17200...

Ah, sorry, you mean GTX 760 in my sig? Forgot to change. I bought another GTX 1080 (Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming Premium Pack) and testing it now. Will RMA, same as ASUS Strix two weeks ago, due to these problems: I am having good FPS with Ultra Shadows and PD 2.0, but the card gets too hot when running below its advetrised specs - up to 88C in open case (( I think I'll wait and buy 1080ti on water...

Tried these two files and see a 27% drop in FPS comparing to this single file: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php...4&postcount=10 I test using FRAPS average for 1 minute on the same reply track. I have Ultimate Shadows and No Tree Shadow mod...

This is similar to what you want: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2884624&postcount=10 I get slightly better FPS with it on Ultra shadows, though I don't know if he limited them to cockpit only.

Thanks! I do need this option and the devs could be clearer.

Hi. In the last update to 1.5: "DCS can be closed by Alt+F4 combo (need to add ‘respect_alt_f4 = true’ line to autoexec.cfg)." I can't seem to find this file! Where is it and where exactly to add this line? Doing it in autoexec.lua (it is in two locations!?) did not work...

...and all at low. So sad!!!

+1. I want to use mouse only to move the pointer.

Same experience. Returning my Strix 1080 after two weeks. On the low settings it needs to run DCS at 90 FPS my old MSI 760OC also runs at 90 FPS! Will wait couple of years to upgrade my whole rig to next gen CPU/RAM, or until DCS optimizes for VR... (((

No change for me: same FireStrike mark, same DCS performance. And by the way, the latest DDU hangs on my system after cleaning the drivers. Must kill it and manually reboot PC...

As promised, some comments after upgrading my GTX 760 for 1080. At first, I did NOT see much improvement in VR or on a monitor. FPS gain with the same settings was about 50%, not 200% I expected from the reviews. But then I changed Pixel Density from 1.0 to 2.5 (did not result in ANY FPS hit, unlike with my old 760), and reduced visibility to give the card fewer objects to draw, but with higher quality. Now the game looks nice, runs at 90 FPS in the sky/45 near ground, GPU utilization near 100%. I overclocked my CPU and GPU a little, but it did not improve FPS. So, indeed DCS is bottlenecked by DirectX 11, as some mentioned in other threads.

To those interested, I found a better solution: http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Voicemeeter/index.htm#DownloadVoicemeeter The advantage over Virtual Audio Cable is that it can join left and right stereo channels to produce mono sound. This is better for buttkicker, otherwise the engine vibration depends on which way I'm looking.

I bound F-keys to my HOTAS. Got used to it this way. Voice Attack installed and configured, but don't like to use it...

When you put it on, you may pull out the cable from Rift

Saw that thread. Did not stop me from ordering 1080 STRIX. Will receive it tomorrow and will comment. DCS is playable at PD 1.0 on my MSI 760 OC, but I want to read gauges and connect my TV/sound system together with Rift.

I always build/upgrade my own PCs. I think within your budget you can afford current technology: GTX 1080, i7-6700k (more Ghz is better than more cores), DDR4 (16Gb minimum), good mobo...

I used Virtual Audio Cable to split game sound into three devices: Rift, BK (on built-in Realtek) and TV/Receiver (NVidia HDMI). And I have 2 bat files to turn it on and off. Works great with all sims, not just DCS.
