Hello, It seems your rig need some settings, i can play in VR 45fps with my i5 16Go ram 1060 6gb Try a su25t free flight, you should get about 80 90 fps

Hello, Perhaps it could be interesting to test this mission with a dedicated server on the same machine ? A way to benefit of multi core machine we have ? And a true multiplayer test over internet too.

A good approach to get DCS better about multicore and multithreading on big mission ?

- disable windows game replay - running in full screen - nvidia driver version with clean install procedure ( https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=263428&page=30 ) should be listed in the first page in my point of view

Bravo beau boulot !

Hello Could you post about a 'clean re-install NVIDIA driver' ? Tigroou has already posted about a 'VR Recovery' in the forum about nvidia driver install https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=268517 Some people rollback drivers upgrade sometime to solve problems The problem could be then more about the installation procedure than the driver version, Thanks

The bug about mouse constrained movement in full screen is still here But we have the workaround.

Hello, I use a GTX 1060 6Gb stutter could have many sources Here some tips about stutters, you should find in forum about : - clean fxo and metshader ( run mission on each terrains to force recompile ) - disable hot plug device - disable replay tacking - disable windows game recording - reduce windows process in background

Well done !

Hello Alpenwolf I'm afraid you're right :-( I was connected some few days ago, and the server was looking as a dogfight server only. Only few people was trying to make ground attack as the briefing was saying. The mission you propose are simple and great, so the server run fine. And so experimented pilot, that are looking for immersion ( cockpit view only ), comes and try to test there skill. Not More. How to be better ? Perhaps reducing the number of slots of fighters at starting ? And more strikers and choppers at begin ? and then increasing the number of slots of fighters if primary objectives of briefing, one by one, are done. Or give a time limit to obtain primary objective ? By this way, if pilot of 'country' don't care about primary objectives, the mission will end very soon for them because of inferiority. Some server give 'lives' to the players, if primary objectif are done, reseting the counter for other players waiting could be a great challenge and involve player. Sometimes i can see squadron that do great jobs ( i remember following 3 RedDevil pilot striking and try to escort them in VR, great flight i was afraid as in real ! ) Perhaps a 'Hall of Fame' of popular squadron about primary and secondary objectives on your server could motive them to come on your server with 'strategic' approach ( SRS use give more points ) Maintain a 'Score' of blue side and red side about primary objectives and give them some 'gift' in the following mission, It's going to be a full time job ! I hope you to continue your great job by the way

We should add 'run vr in full screen' ( It reduce windows stack rendering) It the vr mirror in not full screen on your monitor, type Alt+Enter to toggle full screen mode Type many times to workaround mouse cursor windowed bug until full screen toggle done

The main idea is to reduce process load in background - disable tracking stop dcs replay core function ( no data written in track file in background ) - disable windows game mode stop windows core function to be able to stream what you play Many people use these disables to get DCS run better and smooth ( me too ) You should be able to find them in this forum

Hello. Thanks to sumup tips about vr Perhaps you should add: - disable tracking replay ( autoexec section ) - disable windows game replay ?

Hello, Here some tips about stutters, you should find in forum about : - clean fxo and metshader ( run mission on each terrains to force recompile ) - disable hot plug device - disable replay tacking - disable windows game recording - reduce windows process in background

Hello, I found in this forum to disable tracking with autoexec.cfg file in 'saved game directory' So you can choose to disable or enable before to launch DCS.

Hello, If not already done on your install, you should find in forum about : - clean fxo and metshader ( run mission on each terrains to force recompile ) - disable hot plug device - disable replay tacking - disable windows game recording - reduce windows process in background

Hello, If nvidia driver version could be an issue in combination of Dcs, there should be a sticky thread about that ..?

You are not alone This thread is to help people that cannot run simple mission offline in vr whereas they own a very powerful a machine

- my nvidia Control say '390.65' pilot version ( better than 4xx for my gtx 1060 given by fps counter : about 5 fps ) - Disable tracking in autoexec.cfg file see in https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=208832 - Disable hotplog device in autoexec.cfg file too see in https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=251377

Sure ! The aim of such a test is to test VR in MP on a 'light' server If it isn't playable on a simple server, it should be the first problem to solve in your case. You ask for some experience of other players Here is my experience : - no problem on "light" server with many people connected for now - can't play on 'big' server

Hello julimonkey, I own a gtx 1060 too And i am quite happy with open beta I noticed better performances with 3xx d Nvidia drivers My point of view is 3xx are good for gtx series and 4xx good for rtx series For a first step You should try to revrrt to 3xx Reset all nvidia settings Chose maximum performances on quality and energie And see if it's playable or not in a simple mission Next step will be about disabling tracking replay and hot plug devices Next step to be continued...

Sure Tigroou does not say open beta is perfect. We know it is not yet He says that open beta performance was bad on very simple mission on his powerful machine, until he made some software upgrade and settings OUTSIDE of DCS So waiting for beta update seem to be only one part of the solution to get pure performance ( simple mission allow to test pure performance ) Without good pure performance. we can forget complex mission... He tried to solve problems one by one, he succeded on a first one that could be useful for poeple in same case : bad pure performance ( simple mission )

let's forward to Tigroou, the author of the original post ( see link )

Here is an interesting post from Tigroou about VR and performances up in OB 2.5.6 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=256205&page=5 " Hi all, after crying like every one for the FPS drop (huge) of version DCS 2.5.6.45915 Open Beta 2020-03-31 and all other version since 2.5.6 i tryed playing this afternoon on F18 instant action AIM9X and I had an average 18fps with ASW. It was unplayable after the last update. I was even at PD 1.0 and Flat shadow on medium etc. my configuration is a high end one (2080Ti / 9900K /32Go / SSD etc...) I play on Rift S. So dead for dead I tryed to install latest Nvidia Gameready (which does not support DCS in their list) as I planned to try Alyx next weekend… I installed those driver 445.75 with the graphic setup of Nvidia and tick the box "reinitiate all parameters" as last month I followed a DCS tutorial to adapt nvidia settings for VR, It was a mess for me to understand what was the effects of each parameter. And there: BIG MIRACLE: 40 fps stable (even higher than on 2.5.5) with PD at 1.6 in oculus debug tool. I tryed with F18 / F14 / F16 in Nevada and PG in Freeflight mode. I even set shadows on normal, every settings max (but visibility medium) There is only a frame drop with the F16 when my sight is coming close to Down town in Nevada. It 's perfect in the suburbs. Second case with F16 and F18 for FPS drop is closing static Fighters on Nallis AFB (for the F18 I have to close those parked fighters below 0.5 Nm (not accurate value) ) The FPS drop is Bang/bang type (like a GBU12^^) it's On or OFF when I look the bad direction. It's not depending of the number of 3D objects displayed, it's obvious in this case. With F14 and F18 there are zero FPS drop in Las Vegas (ZERO) unless sighting parked fighters, not civilian aircraft at the airport. I made 10 différents missions, even AIM 9X practice was perfect. It was also perfect in PG FreeFlight mission for F16 but I had to wait 30 seconds before FPS rise from 20 to 40. Hope it helps for others, I ll try to send pictures if needed. Hope it will be stable in time as well. Thx ED for the work. Tigrou, cheers from France. "

hi, i suggest you to try a "light" server as "Cold War" ( not so much AI than others , and few RAM needed) but many people. this the only one where i can play VR, and one of the best server ;-)
