After dropping the downloaded openvr_api.dll into the DCS/bin folder I started DCS...my Reverb G2 VR experience worked perfectly without needing Steam VR. I am very thankful to Nikoel. Now what I don't understand is...the intro original post OpenXR Guide for WMR Headsets By nikoel, March 17, page 1, gives a lot of instruction about how to properly do this procedure by first cleaning DCS, deleting Saved Games folder, setting pixel density first, etc. etc. I did none of that, as mentioned all I did was to replace 1 file "openvr_api.dll " and start DCS and my G2 ran perfectly. So, am I missing something by not having heeded the warnings and by not having read the following 113 pages of this thread? Thank you.

People can hear me...but I can't hear them? edit: wish I knew what I did but all is now working.

Thanks for the response...sorry for the late reply but I've been flying elsewhere.

My main reason for the in-cockpit comms as mentioned, is it allows for more casual meeting of other pilots and I don't find 3rd party software offers this. Improvement seems stalled at this time. I do appreciate your concern for the bandwidth/server owners.

Why can't there be both 3rd party comms for those that prefer it and the in-game comms for those wanting to spontaneously meet/talk with new pilots once airborne. The reason I was addressing the game creators and not the server owners is because it's the server owners who are disallowing the in-game comms.

It's very discouraging to have all these servers dis-allow in-game comms. This is a great way for pilots to me one another. I have no interest in searching all the 3rd party comm software especially when DCS has built it so conveniently into the sim. Can DCS please remove the capability of blocking the use of in-game voice comms. on the multi-player servers. Thank you.

Great to know...going to check it out now, thanks!

Thanks for the reply to you all! The reason I don't use Steam and know very little about it, with the limited experience I had a couple of years back; I was unsuccessful trying to use Steam with software not purchased through Steam as I preferred purchasing direct from the software company. Is Steam an online software store or is it a performance module to use with compnay purchased software? If you can purchase through Steam what is the benefit over direct purchase with the software company?

I was thinking of getting the G2 but after reading this thread I'm re-thinking the choice and now looking for another with far less light sensitivity. I've been spoiled using the Rift these past years with my multi-sensor setup giving flawless tracking, also it has great sound. Yes it could use higher resolution but I really must say it's been near flawless. Is there a competitive option to the G2?

Thanks for that...good to know.

I thought the advertising of the G2 mentioned having among many options, the ability to reduce the device resolution by 1/2. No mention of 3rd party software required to do this.

Are you saying the only way to have this option with HP Reverb G2 is by using the combo of Steam VR with WMR and DCS? I would think G2 would have its own native software to give you this option and many others. Do you have to purchase G2 through Steam in order to use Steam options?

Thanks for your reply. I don't use steam for anything, I only use the native program. I read the following: 'A dialog will appear where the Resolution per eye can be set. Edit the Render resolution to be custom then use the slider to change the percentage. HP Reverb G2 is 2160×2160 per eye'.

Running HP Reverb G2 at 1/2 resolution...what's it look like? I ask the question because I'm presently still running Rift cv1 with medium settings. If I can't run decent FPS using HP Reverb G2 at full resolution will it end up looking like what I have now with Rift cv1? i7-10700k@3.80 turbo, 2080S, 64ram, Thank you.

I've been complaining about daytime MFD being too dim for over a year...I was told that is the way it is...

...As well, I tried using the stick on another computer and the issue is the same.

Thanks ROKgameNE I've tried the reg edit...no help there. I've tried clearing the axis calibration but was not able to get the stick lights to go off which indicates the axis has been cleared. I'll try going back to your explanation with the J&S settings. I noticed putting a bit of end of range stick pressure at 3 o'clock will give me a 100% but seems strange that I'd have to do that to achieve 100%. Thanks again.

Can you please be more specific I'm not understanding your meaning. I'm using S curve with /. I've tried changing all the curves available...same story.

When I move the stick to its physical gimble limit at 3 o'clock to do a right roll I receive only 80% input of max input range of the F/A-18, left roll is normal. If I move the stick to the 1:30 position I get full range response. I checked in the axis controls to make sure there were no unintentional limits set. I've calibrated in Logitech settings and no change. I observe this range issue in both the Logitech settings and DCS axis controls. I've heard there is a registry edit available and also an actual stick reset by holding down stick buttons. Would anyone have info on this, it would be appreciated. Thank you.

Why does audio stutter occur when graphics stutters how are they connected...what does this indicate, is there a resolve? I also hear audio stutter at higher FPS. All this happens when over the Syrian cities. Resolved: This only happens when I stream to Bigscreen [VR app] using Bigscreen's audio drivers to allow visitors to hear the DCS audio. All is good when back using Rift or Realtek drivers.

Yes I see a lot of people are using steam, can you still use steam if you didn't by through them?

Sorry dburne not sure what you are referring to by: That is not my quote... I never typed those words, someone else must have, please correct if you can.

Best place to purchase? I can purchase an extra 1 then?

With the increase in resolution I would expect a performance hit...not that we have the same systems but from what you have how are you handling settings and FPS?
