  1. Yeah, did a clean driver update two days ago, it was noticeable instantly on the forests at a little altitude and on the cities, simple fix, just redid the settings.
  2. DCS automatically puts them in a backup file. Both the D3DCompiler_47.dll and the openvr_api.dll will be inside the latest backup folder. It puts an old unworkable D3DCompiler_47 file into your updated patched game, if your not replacing that one also it ain't going to work. Just cut and paste them from the back up folder, no need to hunt them down.
  3. I looked around on my viper B incentive ride all the way up to 8.9, and never had an issue with moving and looking wherever I wanted, I was retiring at age 39 at the time. My pilot was 26 and he was soaked in sweat even worse than I was when we came back 2.5 hours later. At 8.9 the only thing that happened was my left eye lost color for a millisecond. I can tell you what you don't do or can't do is sit still, instinct itself has you fighting it and you squeeze and strain with everything you got, moving as much as you possible can sure helps, that includes your head and neck. He told me he was surprised how much an old bastard like me could take, we sort of knew each other fairly well. I was used to pulling lower levels of G while standing on my feet doing drops in Starlizards and Herc's in my 20's while all geared up and even heavier, that was actually much worse to me, but I got paid to stay in the plane and open and shut the doors. Some of our guys ended up with back injuries and broken tail bones doing that, all part of that career field. Do that for a decade or so and you have a life time immunity from ever getting air or motion sickness. That certainly helped, much of the ability to pull G is mindset, how well do you know your own comfort levels and limits. Guys who are pros and do it regular don't even notice it, it's just another small part of the job, not the focus. A newby coming in for just a ride, it's going to be the single focal point when you pass their threshold.
  4. Besides the MB, the F-5E and C-101 combat version have homes on the map with both belonging on the Chilean side of the border, the unofficial Skyhawk is close enough to fit its role.
  5. Seems to affect jaggies or shimmer of straight edges in the distance for me, the larger I can go the less severe the edges shimmer.
  6. You running everything as Admin? It can and will choke if not, generally a non admin app firing into one set as admin will fail in this round of win 10/11.
  7. There's an elevated pipeline runs west of Palmyra on the Syrian map, fly with your wingtip just off to the side of the pipe as close as you can, the sense of speed is frightening. Very well modeled 3D pipeline, spots where the sand buries it completely, a very scenic run and it runs for miles. If you want to experience a life like speed perception in a jet while in VR, dare you to look at your wing tip on the pipeline side while racing below the pipe with it about ten foot off your wingtip. I experienced that dreadful feeling of fear for my life the first few minutes doing the run, than amazement and fun, tuck it in even closer. Take a steady jet you trust and trims up well, I used the C-101, it has a Palmyra area quick mission. Complete mind rush, you'll need excellent frames to do it, not so hard its mainly empty desert.
  8. The comparative screenshots are notable and easily seen as different focusing solely in on the clouds rendering, and somewhat with the sun. In each set of screens the clouds are changed between driver settings, so there is something going on even in those low quality screens that parts visible.
  9. Weird, but for my brain they seem to connect easier, seems more intuitive.
  10. How exactly was anybody pushing this? I posted these settings back on Jan 31 for the first time on the 'other' forum and here mid Feb. No one really gave a rip, very few tried and it, whatever it did worked for them, some it didn't, the threads never went anywhere, nobody pushed it. Nobody really cares about your anxieties. If you want to question how it works fine, knock yourself out, but maybe you ought to contain your own fervor and let that part go. I just see a few guys excited over the effect it has for them, nothing wrong with that, I liked the effects myself, so I shared them, is that a crime or somehow wrong? And its not really a mod, never touches the game, simply some obscure nvidia settings, far as I know no one been harmed and no property damage incurred, so far. Either use it or don't, no one's forcing anyone, the recorded record of events proves that. Accusation ain't right against the original poster, he just shared the tip cause he was impressed by the effects himself.
  11. You meant OpenXR for Windows Mixed Reality, not the tools.
  12. Good work, been enjoying this for a few months now, not a miracle but it sure is a nice visual enhancement. I'd suspect the guys with the best clarity and horsepower to start with benefit the most. It was just a freak accident I found it, had already made up my mind to do a clean swipe and fresh new install of win 11, my first version was the earliest one and refused to upgrade. And that other sim looked like horse ass with shimmer after a hotfix, that I couldn't correct, so I was looking for extra expanded settings on the card and tried inspector to get access. Figured there just might be some profiles for the sims I fly, when I saw that interesting named profile. Tried it and poof, I was flabbergasted especially in DCS where I had little to no shimmer. The C-101 pit looked real.
  13. It was originally posted for DCS here, but first posting was in that other WWII VR forum back in January, when I accidentally stumbled on it trying to fix a very bad shimmer problem in that sim. Took a while till I messed with DCS.
  14. Could be a video card manufacturer issue, or the HMD brand won't do it. I'm using a ASUS TUFF 3080 and G-2, been using this since January when I accidentally stumbled on that VRdirectx setting trying anything and everything to get IL-2 functioning. My gunnery improved so much and eyeball navigation is so much easier by looking out the pit can't do without it.
  15. The VRxxxx profiles are for an old game that was built for 3D glasses, it doesn't stand for Virtual Reality, some game might have been Virtual Rally, just to avoid confusion. These profiles are from the late 90's early 2000's era from what I've been told, so they predate our current virtual reality HMD's. 3D glasses were all the rage back two decades ago, probably the suckass monitors they had back than that put the squash on them.
  16. The real stamp of approval is when the basket refueler's try it out and give their feedback. It's all in the subtle things it can do for you.
  17. Using a G-2. and yes if you upgrade drivers you need to reset. You don't have to go through that whole video process, it's already there under a profile called VRdirectX, find it in the list, and hit apply, simple as that. The settings will activate and you'll see them flagged under the stereo section, they're the exact same settings. Going to be most noticeable in mountains with shadows high and over the major cities like Vegas or Beirut. I've always found it helps me ID aircraft specific types up close, can distinguish a 109K from a G, or even ID a G subclass. Yeah it works superb in all your sims. You'll more easily see all the antenna's and miscellaneous bumps and bulges, and cannons sticking out the front wings in close.
  18. So this is a brand new profile, was still using inspector 2.3.0.10 which doesn't have 3DVR, so this one is specifically aimed at VR stereo, nice.
  19. Been using the "VRdirectx" profile in inspector for a few months now, it's not made specifically for Virtual Reality but games that used stereo 3D glasses. Some of these settings for stereo glasses are still in the drivers or you wouldn't be able to change, set, and save them. Now if your card actually supports these specific settings is a whole other game, mine does, and it looks fantastic in VR. In VR you have two different images generated for two different lenses, even better than the original 3D glasses with two lenses which used a single monitor image.
  20. Check opencomposite.cfg file and make sure this line is enabled, ;Hidden area mesh fix for G2, may work on other headsets enableHiddenMeshFix=enabled
  21. Get the latest tool kit, on the last page is a reset option, once you reset it should be OK.
  22. Programs menu, "OpenXR Toolkit Hand-to-Controller Configuration Tool", bet you'll find your answer there. Comes standard with the tool kit.
  23. Use five different USB controllers not including rudder pedals which are a no brainer to use. Custom built pit chair with everything measured and placed for natural dexterity. No problems, never need to peek. Placement is everything in VR.
  24. If you change versions and do a reinstall and things are wonky in the new install, use the reset all settings to default, restart the game and than try with new settings. Despite a fresh upgrade it's keeping all your previous settings.
  25. The advanced controls with brightness, contrast, and color saturation alone are worth running this, Holy Cow, that's the Guam I remember. Never realized all those cars and trucks were multicolored to the degree they are, and with bright red tail lights to boot. Who knew those cranes were painted bright yellow? Try doing that in steamVR.
