Dlss requires the game to support. Resolution scaling as done by AMD is independent of game and implemented entirely at the driver level

I was just about to order the odyssey cushion for improved FOV until I happened here. Since I ordered the prescription lenses for vr optician I think I'll wait. I was also reading about how to improve frame rate. It seems Radeon has a feature similar to DLSS https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/sapphire-trixx-boost-scaling-for-other-amd-cards.267475/ Although Sapphire has made this easy to use through a separate piece of software called Trixx boost It is available on all AMD cards. It works because rendering the actual res on the GPU is computationally much more expensive than upscaling it. So you can set you cpu to render at 80% of desired res and upscale to 120% .Apparently the difference is hardly noticeable unless you are staring at static content (which DCS is not)

not mentioned in this thread is open XR. According to VR flight sim guy, it works wonders for msfs and the G2. I I wonder if it also makes dcs better for those with a G2.

Voice Attack and VAICOM pro purchased and properly installed. I use easy communications since I am a noob. Voice Attack is hearing and recognizing me as seen in this screen capture of the voice attack console: (voiceattack.png image below) https://ibb.co/CBW4v65 The voice attack profile shows I have bound button 3 of joystick1 as theTX4(VAPTT.png image below) https://ibb.co/HGCyTBJ You can see that I disabled the other nodes by unchecking the tickbox in the options page of the specific buttons(VAoptions.png image below) https://ibb.co/YBmZGQL VAICOM (or VA) stops sending the command through to DCS. I have the beeps, command is perfect, just nothing happens. I have already tried the 'push PTT a little bit longer' but this does not help. Then I realized that my DCSopenbeta is not on the C drive. So I went into VAICOM->config and set the path D:\DCS World OpenBeta. (see VAICOMconfig.png image below) https://ibb.co/D9YtBfq I set the sliders correctly, quit Vaicom and VA and restarted them. Then I started DCS and went to a cold start scenario. Without doing anything, the comm menu appears and disappears after a few seconds. ( see DCSnotouch.png image below) https://ibb.co/qk6kdPm When I press button 3 nothing is audible. I went back into DCS and ticked easy comm to off. Then went back into settings and ticked easy comm to on. VAICOM->PTT screen did not change (see vaicomPTT.png image below) https://ibb.co/xHQJNs7 I went back into a cold start and Now it works. This reminds me of another bug when I start a mission, the TGP switch on the A-10C}{ panel will be switched on but the actual TGP will be off. I have to toggle it to make it work. There are several other bugs like that where you have to 'stimulate' DCS to get it to recognize input settings.

Is the headset mic adequate? or do you add a boom mic to your headset??

well, i did a lot of training but then did not click the finish button. It said I still had 416 unresolved aliases. So I guess to make the training 'stick' I have to 'Finish', even if I did not add any new words. I am thinking about adding words to control the OSB buttons in the A10.

I noticed SkipperSMG only listed the first part of keyword training 1. Opening the VAICOM config window 2. Selecting the Editor tab 3. Clicking on the microphone so it gets a yellow border 4. When the Microsoft speech recognition window appears making sure the Microphone button is coloured blue and it says listening (if it says Sleeping click on the microphone button and (Windows speech and not VAICOM) 5. Speaking the VAICOM phrase(s) you want to train But then the next steps confuse me as well. 6) hit the 'finish' button 7) read the dialog that pops up [ATTACH=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","data-tempid":"temp_264157_1606419634937_64","title":"va.png"}[/ATTACH]​ 8) click on the 'pencil' icon in VA to edit the VAICOM PRO for DCS World profile. This dialog below is the one that pops up. [ATTACH=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","data-tempid":"temp_264158_1606419702721_635","title":"VAICOMprofile edit dialog.png"}[/ATTACH]​ Now this is where I get lost. ​ It says to 'double click the 'AI Communications' command and clear all the keywords! In the pic above, if I double click the cell with 'AI communications' in the highlighted blue row, I get this dialog [ATTACH=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","data-tempid":"temp_264160_1606419861717_55","title":"VAICOM AIComm desc .png"}[/ATTACH]​ It wants me to delete all the words highlighted in the blue row?! That's the entire dictionary. When I do that and then ctrl-C , it seems to paste the entire dictionary back in. Did I actually do anything??

just spent half an hour talking at my pc. I am already past the 'H's The next thing to say in the box is 'in from the East' I say it and instead of the VA console giving me a 90% or whatever, I get the 'alternates' dialog from Windows popping up and the first item on the list is 'In from the East' If I click on that, it inserts the phrase into the VA box so now the phrase is present twice. Didnt know what to do so I just deleted the duplicate phrase from the command phrase box . I tried the 'test' button and to my surprise it still says 416 aliases missing. Is all my work for wasted? Or is it training and not telling me? Before starting this with VAICOM, I should say I trained the microsoft speech recognition engine three times as recommended by the Voice Attack Installer dialog and that went smoothly. I really appreciate your help. Are you the official VAICOM support? The VAICOM site refers customers to this forum.

when i try to say 'copy' for the keyword 'copy' then no beep is heard. Rather the word 'copying' appears in MS recognition window. Solution? The word 'criqueville' always comes up 'cretteville' and both are in the dictionary. Please advise.

thank you. Is there any way to check how much training is done and which words need to be repeated also due to poor quality recognition? The buttons 'reload' and 'finish' are highlighted in yellow, btw.

So I installed voice attack, and then vaicom pro. I went to the editor and started training keywords. All was going pretty well (except it didnt like to recognize the word 'thousand') any I kept going. After a while I needed a break. I hit 'finish', a dialog box came up telling me to do something. I dismissed it. Now I have an error in the voice attack console: 416 missing aliases How do I fix this? In vaicom pro, in the editor tab , the command phrase box is empty.

@Drac That's my problem. I dismissed that dialog. I never finished training and it says 416 aliases are missing. How do i get back to finish training?

I read a little here and there about how a properly configured autoexec.cfg file can remove stutters or improve VR. Are there any settings that people have found makes an improvement to the eye candy without a framerate penalty? Yes I reduced 'water details and draw distance' in the GUI but I was wondering if there were more esoteric settings that might help those of us without a 3090.

THANK YOU! never realized trackIR could do this.

This post from a year said that steam VR is needed by most headsets https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/digital-combat-simulator/dcs-world-2-5/steam-support/239630-vr-no-steam but I dont know if that is still true. I am looking to get the Reverb and have the nonsteam version of DCS. Although I see a lot of people buy fpsVR to measure their VR performance. Can this app run without steam?

Thank you for your replies. I'll try joy to key. Don't know about using voice attack. I fly with a bunch of other pilots and we chat using discord. I think they'd get annoyed if I was always talking to my plane. The main reason I need a keybind is because TrackIR keeps 'shifting' its center as my headset is sometimes jostled a little out of position now and then. So I've mapped the 'recenter key' for trackIR to button 3 on the thrustmaster T16000M and that is the only reason i need the TARGET software. DCS does such a great job of mapping, it even allows me to set a button on the thrustmaster throttle as a modifier key.

is there anyway to do this in DCS without using the thrustmaster TARGET software?

same as RedX. Glad it's not just me.

holy moly...thank you sally. So I don't even need thrustmaster software to configure multiple functions for my stick.!!

How could I assign a keyboard modifier (like shift, alt, ctrl) to a button on the the throttle? In DCS settings, I can only assign buttons on the throttle to specific aircraft functions.

@MustangSally I read all the comments in that video by Wags but could not find your comment. Where is it?

@Vullcan are these the two lines that need to be deleted? local wwtlfs=require('lfs') dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua') Arent they needed for the throttle to be recognized?

@RogueSqdn you said 'Other throttle grip notes... first off, the pinky switch for external lights is a three-way switch on the Winwing, unlike the actual Hornet throttle, but I find that a bonus, because I can use that as a modifier in DCS and access my cockpit view controls when in VR.' How can you map a modifier to a button or switch? I can not find a manual for simApp pro and am a little baffled about the process of using it.

Has anyone figured out how to work this app? I wish I could map one of the buttons on the throttle to be a modifier so I could map more functions.
