Couldn't disagree more. I run the same gpu and vr headset now as three years ago and its much smoother than it ever has been. Multi threading was a huge optimization and FRS has some drawbacks but again is a big general frame rate bump. In the future vulkan may provide yet another performance boost.

Seemingly most of my flight follow me around while I'm getting shot to pieces no matter how many times I fumble through the menu to tell my wingmen, flight and second flight to engage enemy bandits. While they all agree this seems to be a good idea, telling me roger and affirm they seem more interested in the challenge of performing impossible maneuvers to stay on my wing while I attempt to take on half a dozen germans all by myself. The enemy AI seem to be in on the plan, ignore the other spits and make a beeline for me. It seems my direct wingmen get the hint and go do useful things, albeit in in far-away places, its one or both of the other flights that don't bother. While I enjoy the formation flying on the way over the channel its mostly just a frustrating and then terminal experience once you come into contact with the enemy. Is there any way to actually make this work? Otherwise I feel it might be time to park WW2 SP stuff until one day ED makes some improvements to friendly AI and the command system.

So.. predictably because too many people are too unreasonable for an open beta to work in a positive way it will become a closed beta. Maybe there will be a way for people to apply to be closed beta testers.

I have winwing f16 throttle and an older stick base, will soon be buying the f16 ICP and F16ex stick. For me, I wouldn't buy anything else because it is based on real aircraft and not generic and I have a f16 focused sim pit. I have never had any problems. I have problems with my reverb g2, my old TM warthog, my windows install and getting DCS running good sometimes but never had issues with my winwing stuff. The closest thing is that firmware wants me to remove all my usb devices all the time which is not going to happen so i just don't bother to firmware update.

Not for me, if they made this change it should be optional. Don't want to be taking headset on and off and on and off and screen is not in a convenient place for frequent use in relation to built out sim cockpit. Having a 2d / 3d mix is VR done poorly.

Clearly it has a broken flight model and all the people at the airshow should get their money back

I don't know this helicopter at all but feel like I will be compelled buy and learn it in honor of your pure dedication.

I set it using amd radeon chill settings but yeah some FPS limit settings may be more successful than others

I found that fixing the framerate to a maximum, in my case to 45fps finally got rid of the micro stutter of the ground passing below and most of the in cockpit stutter. I have an AMD card so set it in the AMD software but there is probably an equivalent in Nvidia and I think there may be a DCS config file that can be used to set it as well. Note that it made the game menus a bit rough but the game itself much smoother. My theory is that headsets and/or VR software have difficulty with a constantly changing framerate and making it consistent smooths things out. Worth a try.

With steam upscaling and 1.7 pixel density you are doubling up on the same thing but also the DCS pixel density setting is not very efficient. Pixel density in DCS should be left at 1

What is your definition of wont work? I can access the open toolkit in game and for example turn on the fps counter just fine with mt and a g2

Was hoping for good things but no noticeable change with 5800x3d and AMD 6800 with G2 using OpenXR. Load times seem faster and the interior on the hanger on the menu page is noticeably red but that's about it. Still a lot of ground micro stutter when looking out the side of the aircraft on all maps and Marianas nearly unplayable I think maybe even slightly worse. FPS unchanged. Am probably GPU bound but was hoping for less stutter at least.

The thing is that everyone has a different interpretation of "worth-while" which I guess is a combination of your wealth/earning potential and tendency towards overspending vs frugality. So you will just end up with a bunch of responses based on other people's feelings of worth-while-ness which doesn't match yours.

Pre product release anxiety seems to be a thing and social media, forums etc are an echo chamber for it, some people even get angry and then create a toxic environment for the product company employees. More info never really helps it just makes people more worked up about what was said, how it was said, what wasn't said, does it conflict with some other thing that was said. Better off to consider there is no point wasting energy worrying about things you have no control over, it will be ready and released when its ready.

AMD 5600 cpu, AMD 6800 gpu, 32gb ram, Reverb G2 100% res with OpenXR + FSR. So decent but not super high spec pc. Didn't measure but no noticeable degradation in VR performance, flying around PG in a simple mission with Apache is nice and smooth
