Kind of worried about the GiantBomb stream, for those guys the resolution was still too low even just for racing in project cars Hope ED has some improved "VR impostors" in store

Is the CV1 backwards compatible to the 0.8 SDK? To be honest that'd really surprise me, so people who get the CV1 might not even be able to play DCS until ED releases their VR updates

780 TI, i5 OC'ed to 4 GHZ Everything set to low / disabled, even using a mod to disable tree shadows. Dropping below 75 (sometimes even below 50) in the 1.5 map when flying over / looking at villages or airports. DCS in its current state does not work properly in VR, at least on my machine. Only really works when you're flying at high altitudes (so less objects are rendered) or over empty terrain / open sea. I used to be able to run DCS in VR on lowest settings a few months back, performance seems to have actually gotten worse since then. Or maybe something changed on my machine, but I don't seem to be the only one who has that impression Regardless of actual graphics, it is simply impossible to play some campaign missions in VR. As soon as there are too many AI ground units your CPU becomes a massive bottleneck, even if there are no objects actually visible on the screen Once 1.3 releases and the juddering gets (hopefully) fixed framedrops shouldn't at least make you nauseous anymore, but I think it'll still be noticeable and might ruin any subconscious feeling of presence

Any performance improvements for VR planned?

Welp I just figured it out, at least on my end For some reason enabling vsync in the options locks my VR FPS to 57. Now that I disabled it I get a constant 75, very nice

How are you capable of dealing with the horrendous judder / stuttering when turning your head below 75 fps? It's way too distracting for me

Anybody have any tips for performance gains? Even on my DK2 I'm already dropping below 75 regularly when flying low, I don't see how anybody will be able to run DCS in the CV1 with an even higher framerate and resolution

Have there been any major advances in VR performance since the initial 1.5 release? I've got the DK2 but framerates always got too low if I happened to fly / look at a larger city

How are features like actual distance scaling and resolution independence not the default. I am seriously baffled. That's the bare minimum to even get a semblance of functioning, realistic visibility

Most (if not all) videos of the EyeX on youtube by popular simmers are sponsored, just keep that in mind, their reviews are pretty much worthless. Some are dishonest about it and don't disclose, but they're being paid to promote that thing.

Does this impact actual missile performance? Cause that'd be hilarious

Not sure if ED is aware of this, but there seems to be some communications issue with the module manager right now. It can't retrieve Keys for modules (simply displays "No Key") and doesn't display all owned modules that are available for install (for instance, on my machine, FC3 is missing from the list) This was confirmed and reproduced by a different person on a different network / machine As a temporary workaround you can manually install modules via the dcs_updater CLI, activation still works if you retrieve your key via the ED shop in your browser

Awesome, thanks

Alright, I'm updating my first post to a bug report, another person on the steam forums has the same issue

Wait, really? Mind telling me where? I looked over the options menu a dozen times but didn't find anything

Did a complete reinstall of the beta via torrent, Su27 hud is in russian while the rest of the game is in default english Is it just me? EDIT: Found at least one more person with the same issue, turning this into a bug report https://steamcommunity.com/app/223750/discussions/0/496880503074885786/ I did a complete reinstall for the latest patch. There are no options for setting the Su27 hud/betty language and it is russian by default This was not an issue before the latest update and before I reinstalled the game (completely formatted my PC, didn't backup / restore any DCS configs) Not sure if it affects other modules Edit2: By default Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\options.lua is missing ["cockpitLanguage"] = "english", So I guess it just defaults to russian if that option doesn't get set at all and the game forgets to set said option when it first creates the config file

Registered just so I can vote in this Imo the one thing holding DCS back from being THE best flight simulator is actual missions/content embedded in a larger context The dynamic campaign of BMS is amazing and actually gives the missions you fly "meaning", it's the thing that puts BMS ahead of DCS for me. Dynamic search&rescue missions for choppers to extract (dynamically shot down) pilots for instance would make DCS so much better Like, seriously, I'd easily pay 50 bucks for a dynamic campaign module
