how work custom launch scripts? To launch DCS with VR and wireless on the quest 2 with virtual desktop I need to launch DCS through virtual desktop with a command like : "C:\Program Files\Virtual Desktop Streamer\VirtualDesktop.Streamer.exe" "S:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe" Any way to do that with this app? Thanks

I do not have any icon. I mean, when I launch the app I have the splash screen and the icon, but as soon as I go over the icon it disappears. As if the app crashes without any error message. Thanks Ok it worked, deleting the user folder for the app. Now have to configure it back

This app worked fine until today. Today I had an Oculus crash, airlink did not work anymore, had to use cable link instead. But now I'm unable to launch this app again, even without my vr headset. I have the app title display then the app closes itself without the main window appearing. Any idea why and what I can do? I have of course the latest app version. Just downloaded it again to be sure. Thanks

Hi, Anybody could help me with the custom presets or direct me to a guide of some sort? I mean, I have seen that we can change a custom preset name, but how can we customize a given preset? I explain : I have an oculus headset but I have setup the utility to use steamvr api and not oculus one. When I click on "VR" button it launches dcs with steamvr api just fine. But when I click on the big "LAUNCH" button it launches dcs with oculus api. I would like that big button to launch dcs with steamvr instead. Thanks

No, as I said deleting the SSA lua files and then starting it again fixed the problem. And I kept the volanta lua file. btw is there a way to have the SSA app starts elsewhere on screen? It always start top left and as my taskbar is on the top this is an issue. I have tried changing the config file like that but it changes nothing : <setting name="WindowLocation" serializeAs="String"> <value>100, 100</value> </setting> To me that would be better if the window could popup centered on the screen. Thanks SSA means SimShaker for Aviator, this is the name of the program.

Here is my export.lua btw what creates this file? Export.lua EDIT : ok I managed to make it work again by deleting the lua files, I installed the app again, and now it created the lua files again and it works.

No, no new log and nothing in the install folder. Btw I tried installing an older version and still nothing...

Hi, How do I do that? Send you the logs? How do I see the logs? When I check "enable logging" it erases everything into the window. Yes SSA detects I'm running DCS, the application launches itself when I run DCS. And I have installed Syria I think but that's all. In the log window by launching DCS and then exiting DCS I get that : 19:41:51.083 SimShaker for Aviators beta Version 2.2.1.0 19:41:51.087 ********** DCS World Open Beta version folder found in Saved Games ********** 19:41:51.088 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: SimShaker.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts 19:41:51.091 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: ExportCore.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\SimShaker-export-core 19:41:51.093 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: ExportDevice.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\SimShaker-export-core 19:41:51.095 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: KeyValueStore.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\SimShaker-export-core 19:41:51.096 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: Network.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\SimShaker-export-core 19:41:51.097 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: Protocol.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\SimShaker-export-core 19:41:51.098 local SimShakerlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimShakerlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimShaker.lua') call found in C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Export.lua 19:41:51.100 dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\SimShaker-export-core\ExportCore.lua]]) call found in C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Export.lua 19:41:51.102 ********** Custom DCS World configuration found ********** 19:41:51.105 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: SimShaker.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts 19:41:51.106 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: ExportCore.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\SimShaker-export-core 19:41:51.107 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: ExportDevice.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\SimShaker-export-core 19:41:51.108 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: KeyValueStore.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\SimShaker-export-core 19:41:51.109 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: Network.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\SimShaker-export-core 19:41:51.110 DCS.openbeta export feature setup: Protocol.lua added to C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\SimShaker-export-core 19:41:51.110 local SimShakerlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimShakerlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimShaker.lua') call found in C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Export.lua 19:41:51.111 dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\SimShaker-export-core\ExportCore.lua]]) call found in C:\Users\harf4ng\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Export.lua Thanks

So is there a way to launch the standalone version of DCS through steam with an Oculus headset rather than with the Oculus API? Thanks

Don't understand why, but for some times now the software stops working. It worked fine before. I have a realtus forcefeel vibration pad. Note that I'm able to test the motors or use the massage feature just fine. But no effect in game. I have tried in project cars 2 with simshaker wheels and it works fine, but now with simshaker for aviators it does not work anymore. Could it be there is some kind of incompatibility between simshaker wheels and aviators, so you cannot have both installed? But then testing motors shouldn't work as well. Thanks

Hi, I wonder if anybody used this with the Huey, and have recommended settings for this bird. Thanks

Hi, I would like to add the path for my oculus software but it does not work. In fact the app is only asking for a path, not a filename maybe that's why. My oculus software app is there: "C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-client\OculusClient.exe" But it does not work in dcs updater. Also, the custom script, does it allow for a custom launch of DCS? For instance, is it possible, and how, to automatically launch simshakers for aviator if it is not already started, then oculus client, and then a custom dcs launch? I would like to launch DCS with this command line : "C:\Program Files\Virtual Desktop Streamer\VirtualDesktop.Streamer.exe" "S:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe" This is to be able to launch DCS through virtual desktop. Is this possible to do that with this DCS Updater GUI utility? Thanks

Maybe but how expensive will be the 3080ti? The 3080 is at about 900€. They will do the ti version at 1200 at least Also, with the lack of graphic cards, the 3080ti will be available at christmas ^^ Those prices are far from what they really are Those cards are found at 300$ more than that ^^ Also we need VR benchmarks, and sim VR benchmarks. As sims in VR require not the same kind of stuff than 2D screen games...

Hi, I need to replace my old video card, and I still wonder if I'll go the AMD or Nvidia route. Like either an RTX 3080 or AMD 6800 XT My thinking is... Nvidia has better raytracing, but for DCS and VR, raytracing is a bit useless isn't it? I think I can live without it. BUT the amd cards have 16 Gb of video memory whereas the 3080 has only 10. So isn't the video memory very important for DCS? Thanks

So this is why even with a bad graphic quality I can have an unplayable experience?

So anybody has an idea why the game is playable with my HTC Vive with pixel density at 1.0 (though most graphical settings at low), and unplayable because of a lot of stuttering and lag with my Oculus Quest 2 even with pixel density at 0.5? And so what can I do to make it playable with my quest 2? Thanks

I guess you do not have your graphical settings anymore when you had your 970? But what headset did you have when you had your 970?

The settings you talked about was in VR? I have setup everything on low except terrain texture and cockpit texture, pixel density to 0.6 and this is very laggy ^^ And I can't imagine going back to a 2D screen. I prefer not flying at all. Or if I do not manage to have the quest 2 running smooth with DCS I'll go back to my vive until I can have a better graphic card. What I don't unerstand is it wasn't that laggy at first, it became laggy later on, and stays laggy even when I was back to the original airfield...

This could also be to be able to watch movies in 3D, or movies on a giant screen But to do that better have a headset with a good resolution. I dropped the idea with my old HTC Vive, resolution is not good enough, but with my new Quest 2 this is something I plan to do...

Hi, I need advice about the quest 2 with an old graphic card. I have a good computer but with just a GTX 970 video card. Before I used an HTC Vive. Of course in DCS to have a smooth experience I had to lower the graphics to the minimum. My goal is to buy one of the new graphic cards, either AMD or NVIDIA, but they are not available, so I am waiting. Now, I bought a Quest 2. As with this headset I thought I could use it as a standalone headset while I wait to have a new graphic card. And so yesterday I wanted to try it in DCS. Of course with the same settings than the Vive, DCS was unplayable. Laggy as hell. Normal because the resolution is a lot higher. But then I wanted to try it anyway so I lowered the pixel density in DCS to 0.6. It seemed then smooth enough. I played then a multiplayer DCS helicopter mission, everything was fine at start when I was near the airfield, but as soon as I went near more complex terrain it started to be laggy as hell as well. BUT it was also laggy then when I wan above the sea, and even when I was back to original airfield. Why? I mean, it was smooth when I left the airfield, why did it start to be laggy again when I came back to same airfield? Any way to have it playable with the Quest 2? I do not mind lowering graphics as low as I can while waiting for the new graphic card, I just want it to be playable. I would like to avoid having to take back my HTC Vive just for DCS. Moreover the graphics on the quest 2 were worse at 0.6 pixel density than with the Vive at 1.0, but strangely enough they were more readable. Like the ADF numbers. I was unable to read them with the Vive, but they were readable with the Quest 2. Any help appreciated ^^ Thanks

I managed to have it work yesterday thanks. I have added DCS into oculus software library for ease of use launching it. btw is there a way to manually launch Oculus link? I mean, when I connect my headset to the computer it asks me if I want to allow access of files. On internet I read I should tell "no" to that but seems if I do that it does not even ask to launch Oculus link. Then it asks if I want to launch Oculus link. But it happened to me a few times I answered "no" by mistake there. And then, any way to launch again oculus link beside unplugging and plugging the headset again? Thanks

Hi, Maybe this thread should change to plain "Oculus", so we can add topics about the oculus quest too? I need help using my quest 2 with DCS. I have a non steam version of DCS, and I seem unable to have it work. I always end up with a big screen and DCS in this big screen, not in VR at all. So, how should I configure that to have it work with my quest 2 ? Also I would like to be able to have it work with virtual desktop as well in my quest 2. Other steamVR games work just fine, just that I'm unable to figure out how to configure non steam DCS to work with the quest 2. Thanks

I guess I'll try this with joystick gremlin instead as I do not use a thrustmaster product, I have a pro flight trainer puma. Though, exactly what do you want the script to do? Like when throttle goes to zero, then apply a page down several times? And then how to mimic the opposite? If for instance the throttle goes to 10% from below 10%, then apply page up a few times? Thanks

Except that you can't roll the throttle to the max with a stick you have to use the keyboard with page up, right? The collective stick is disabled until you unlock it...

Hi, I have a pro flight trainer and to startup the Huey I have to use my mouse to move the power from idle to standby. I cannot use the power on my collective. Or I have to click on the button then page up. There is no way to do like in the real huey, click on the button then rotate my power handle? Thanks
