Sitting at home in comfort in front of a monitor or TV or VR headset is completely different that actual real life fighter combat . How did Top scoring aces get Top scores . We are trying to get a happy medium here across all forms of setups . Mr sharp . Testing VR . Pico 3 link DP cable . Same setting MSAA x 2 none MT . SteamVR @ 2748 x 2880. per eye . First photos show 10 miles this is when i can actually see some thing.

Are you in flat screen or VR . on a server or single player .? I would reconfigure your key binds again in Petro Ai . All is working for me when a list is available . up down short right to track and lock short left to bring up flare program or cancel list .

These are some test i did on a 43" 4k TV , with MSAA x 2 . With No up-scaling . Photo1 - 1080p Photo2 - 2k . Photo3 - 4k . I can see dots at roughly 25-miles faint but i know some thing is there . NO radar only mark one eye-ball , sat in front of my TV at arms length . In 4k this sim looks amazing , So sharp and clear . As you can see on my - TV the Dots look very identical , In size and shape . At Different ranges print-screen was taken roughly @ 15 miles down to 8 miles . ZOOM in to see dots . ? To me this looks just right on my TV screen . Will test in VR later . !!!

Its only forced because people cant turn them off . Some people are getting good results and some are not . That`s part of being Open-Beta . Trying to turn them off at this given time don`t work in Autoexe.bat . Im sure this will be fixed , Its not just aircraft that`s effected its weapons too , Fire Rockets and your seen big black dots heading towards its target . 2.9 has come with Bugs as expected , I think over all its a step in the right direction . Just needs some tweaking . An on-off switch if you want to go back to how it was . Having a slider would help but this would have to be greyed out when in servers .

In VR yes the dots are big and ugly , but for flat screen with 2k and 4k resolution it works for them . I think there is a bug in VR. I'm sure things will get better.

The dots needs tweaking. The render from large black dot to 3d drawn aircraft needs tweaking. Also in VR these dots are like 1080p pixel. It's large . Again if this dot was halfway in size would be better. But across the board all the targets are large black dots in VR. Is there any chance of light reflections of canopy ect , this also will help at spotting. Maybe in Vulkan . Without being rude to DCS maybe look and see how other sims have solved the spotting problem. There got to be some technology there DCS can work with.

Let's hope our A8 Gets some love with these new WWII updates . I love guns on guns hunting. But ED needs to keep up .

Can confirm while in the Grayflag servers. Petro can't lock or spot targets . Over and over search areas and he does not see or lock any targets with a good time limit . I can see the targets right in front of us . When you roll away from ground fire he locks on the roll . Very odd . Lots of stuttering also . We are so close to ground targets that missiles won't matter . This Petro man needs training ...lol . Bug report .

Last night I tested on two populated servers each one gave me two different experiences. Both using MT.exe . Seems 2.9 MT is struggling than it did before. With lots of stuttering and time warps . Ghosting in DLAA with outside views . Could not pan around or zoom in F2 outside view with mouse . This is in VR . Still testing.

I think the black dots are for 2k and 4k flat screen resolutions . But maybe it's a bug in VR . I think it needs tweaking for VR users. Like someone has said looks ok in 4k . But they do disappear when you start getting close . I'm guessing that's the transfer from black dot to actual image . Has any encountered stutter when getting on six of fighters. WWII server .

Really happy so far . Flew the spitfire in the WWII server looking amazing smooth flying no stuttering on landing even had a dogfight were people can actually see the fights , things looking really sharp and clear and smooth in VR. Great work.

Went online tonight and I must say I'm really happy with the spotting it was the first thing I noticed when I spawned in to the spitfire in VR. I could make out the spitfires flying over the airfield I could see ships out on the coast . But like you said they are big dots , They cover up the airframe at a distance. Looking around in VR sometimes there would disappear then reappear . I think if we can make the 1080 dot smaller we might be on a winner.

Oh Yes !!! I think Phantom around Christmas time .

The all seeing eye of Ai . This is common. Even if you fly in clouds they still can see you. Hopefully 2.9 will fix a lot of things.

I think its the lighting effects that 2.5 brought in . If i remember there was lots of people complaining about the Gamma and light effects as soon as 2.5 was released . Also if you use Re-shade that makes hell of a difference in Visuals . This cleans up and makes things look sharp and crisp with good colour effects .

Great APP .....!!! thank you

For Syria map i turn textures to medium , Ground textures to low , shadows low , ground shadows off , Syria map uses nearly all Vram . 12GB . Not tried clouds off yet , i have them set to standard . I get good FPS and smooth play today online in Syria map . The stutters will come from Vram being full .

Yes a mod came out to tackle the spotting issues it made all contacts a 1080p pixel . I fly 90% online in competitive servers . This mod made a huge difference . The WWII server had 100 players the most ive seen in a long time for weeks running maybe due to new map updates or maybe due to this mod working , But As soon as the Devs realised it was passing security checks , they stop all mods running in the next patch , it took them only a few weeks to quash that mod . .!!! ? Yet we still wait for a proper solution years down the line . Really dont understand DCS some times . Flying in VR is amazing and it looks great in DCS but this sim needs a good solution .

I'll be honest here 2.5 brought in some weird light and shade reflections. And still remain to this day .

2.9 will fix your spotting difficulties. It's top of the agenda. Lol I'm glad I've got Petro and George to see for me and of course jester . Who does a great job . Drop your monitor resolution down to 1080p and your see targets.

Also setup in VR spyglass and zoom keys on hotas so you can zoom in With in VR.

Wow , What a setup .

Can i ask why are you putting the MT.lua in the config folder in the save game folder ... ? ? Have you tried starting with DCS.exe normal not using MT . There is a bug with MT from last patch . Stuttering looking left and right also FPS drop . Few months back i was using MT and the it was night and day difference great results . But as of today its broken for me . I now gone back to normal DCS.exe using OpenXR with good results . Please run normal DCS .

Hi I bought a new headset and I'm getting same issues as you looking outside , Did you resolve your problem , I would say up the steamVR slider too 150% . With openXR try CAS . This will sharpen things an bit . Also in system options AA x2 . You have good system . But this DCS . Its an old graphics engine , Also the spotting in DCS is bugged if you go above 1080p res with 2k or 4k your have problems spotting , has been like this for years , your see lots of complaints about the spotting all over the internet . I have a 4k VR headset and i have to drop my Resolution down 50% so i can see targets . Modern day jets we use radar to track .

Are the MFD still going . ?
