I don't see any indication from the VD overlay - I imagine that the missing frame(s) is 1 or 2 out of 72 - but my eyes notice it!

Jive, yes I'm on PTC in order to get v69. The disabling of "allow remote connection" did not help but changing to HEVC 10bit (3000 series can't use AV1??) did eliminate the black/missing frames - however, there are side effects in smoothness to that codec. Thanks - I guess that says that using H.264+ has some problems with DCS

Maddaawg, Thanks for the help! Yes I am still on a 9700 at 4.8Ghz (all 8 cores). I am just using the H.264+ at maybe 300Mbps. I will try AV1. Not only do I not see the black/missing frames on MSFS2020 but I do not remember this issue one or two months ago with whatever then was the latest version of DCS. Thanks

I am seeing with v68/v69, Nvidia 556.12, wifi6e + Virtual Desktop (Godlike-3080ti at 72Hz - no SSW), and DCS 2.9.6.58056, black missing frames with Quest3 at the rate of maybe 2 or 3 per 10 seconds. I don't know whether it is several black/missing frames or just one but I imagine since I notice it, that it must be several. My frame rate probably is dropping less than 72FPS at times. I don't see this issue with the same settings using MSFS2020 even though my FPS = 46 to 52 (down from 72 with DCS)

Not suggesting that you jump on the Public Test Channel for both Quest3 and Meta Quest PC Link/Airlink because there may be other issues - but at least OXRTK is functional again during VR operation and doesn’t cause CTD during startup. These are the full version info numbers: Quest 3 68.0.0.507.364 Meta Quest Link PCVR 68.0.0.474.361 I tried Airlink and Link both. I normally use Virtual Desktop but wanted to try Meta Link.

The focus depth might be somewhat different for the Quest 3

Thanks for the response Qcumber. I really should have asked how much roughly is QVFR faster than FFR from OpenXR toolkit since I already use that (but is it really active with Virtual Desktop - even though I see the appCPU/GPU timings??)

Just how much (percentage) roughly does quad-view foveated rendering improve performance for a Quest3 on a RTX3080ti running godlike resolution?

Try running at 72Hz ( 36 FPS ) and using Virtual Desktop (Godlike mode 3000x3000 res) using a Wifi5 AX ($50) or wifi6e AXE second router ($150) setup as an Access Point (reserved static IP, DNS) connected by 1Gbps cable to first router which is connected to PC with 1Gbps cable. See Virtual Desktop Discord for example routers DCS Settings: VR Tab Pixel Density 1.2->1.3 and enable HMD mask System: Res of Cockpit Displays: 1024 , Antialiasing off, Upscaling: Off, Shadows: Flat Only Flat Shadows Blur: Off, Civ Traffic: Off, Water: Low Lower Forest and Scenery Detail, Rain Droplets: disabled OpenXR Toolkit : Some FSR or NIS or CAS

Color-panel as mentioned just above works very well (BUT JUST FOR MSFS) - just set the passthrough color in Virtual Desktop (Streaming at the bottom center ) to purple with a small amount of threshhold in VD. Then when you are flying in VR mode, the Toolbar will then have a tab just to the left of center to enable it. Then you just move the panel to where you want it and size it. When you click on it to minimize it so you can see on the other side of it, it leaves a small outline and a small circle in the center of the passthrough panel to reenable it. I found that if I selected the panel by holding down the left mouse button, I could "bring" the panel toward me which helped my eye distance focus. I asked in the review comments if the addon author could make it work for DCS but no answer yet

How do you set this up?

I didn't see you mention loading OpenComposite dlls and replacing openvr_api.dll - do some Google searching.

I just tried the most recent Virtual Desktop - still get more clarity on Airlink (200Mbps) and unfortunately, I get more head lateral movement stutters with VD.

I've tried TrackIR, OpenTrack with AITracker and quite a few other combinations to get a reliable, non-noisy way to look sideways on a 2D monitor and I just recently tried the Neuralnet tracker option with an inexpensive $25 Logitech Windows 11 720p webcam in daytime and with medium-level nightime lighting. I found it to be really useable and I can fly turns around a point on the ground well. It also lets me lean forward to naturally "zoom" in on the instrument panel. I had to use the mapping option to double/triple default yaw movement while lowering (half, third) x,y,and z movements. You have to use a key to center the movement before the z axis (fore/aft) will work. I appreciate that I don't have to use flat spots in the curve mappings to get "locked-in" viewpoints.

The big issue with Win11 and Quest2 right now is increased stuttering. The fixes that I have seen are using ODT to toggle the console window to being visible constantly or another fix that involves setting the audio merge from the Quest and from the computer (search for this one). Using this fix, flight sims are much smoother and ASW works well.
