Have not been in DCS VR for quite a while, tried using OpenXR (which used to work) and I get the VR "exploding stars" screen but then nothing for a second, then it tries again and it's just black. Switched back to SteamVR (using OpenComposite Runtime Switcher) and all works fine.. IL-2, no issue starting in OpenXR. Am I brain-farting a switch in settings I missed?

Curios, what function do your hands have in DCS VR?

For you G2 users, just stumbled on the fact the Windows program "OpenXR Tools for Windows Mixed Reality" just got an update and "auto-update" will not update it. Go to the Microsoft Store, find it, and you likely will see a "Update" button. A video about it here - , he says it makes a major improvement in IL-2 so maybe DCS also... we shall see.

That is not OpenXR Toolkit, that is OpenXR Tools for Windows Mixed Reality.. This is OpenXR Toolkit

What "rightmost tab", There are no tabs in the XRToolkit I have, just checkboxes and key assignments for navigation in the app...

I closely followed the setup instructions for OpenXR\OpenComposite after removing my video drivers and reinstalling (using NVCleanstall) just GPU\PhysX\Audio drivers from Nvidia (cutting out all their bloatware and telemetry). Used Skatezilla's DCS Updater tool to Update\Repair\Clean my DCS install, modified settings using OpenXRToolkit, worked great.

No issues with Win11 Pro and G2v2 here...

If using NVidia (not familiar with AMD) be sure to follow up a DDU v18.0.5.2 Uninstall (with internet disabled) with a NVCleanstall 1.13.0 install disabling all the bloatware (GeForce Exp.\Telemetry\etc). Just install the base drivers\PhysX\Audio and go. I've done this and have had 0 issues and great results.. run at 126% with 50+ FPS.

Another option may be to get Skatezilla's DCS Updater\Launcher GUI Utility and start it (even the Steam version) with the "VR On" button..

@Rhino1938, just a touch of advice to maybe avoid some frustration later on. Regardless of what you read on the internet NEVER just delete a file because it's in someone's instructions to do so. If renaming the file (I use "ORIG-[name of file])" leave the renamed file in place. If you want to remove it simply create a "DCS Backup" folder and Cut\Paste it there. I even make a small Notepad txt file explaining what the file is, why I moved it and when, and save that with the file as down the road I may be clueless about it..

That's a question for XRNS\ #support in the Discord. Me, my autorotation doesn't seem to actuate but snap view works fine..

XRNecksafer Beta 2b is out, fixes some glitches... https://gitlab.com/NobiWan/xrnecksafer

I'm told, and have seen on the Varjo Discord, that it does indeed work with the Varjo Aero and OpenXR (OpenComposite)!

XRNeckSafer Beta 2 with Autorotation Smoothing is out!!

For those using XRNeckSafer, beta 2 is out with motion smoothing Autorotation, works great!

Hey @NobiWan, is it in the realm of possibility to add an "Up" function to the R\L of XRNS? I can look ~45 degrees up without strain, would be great to be able to add 25-35 degrees to that! Just a thought, thank you, love this app!

LOL!! Yes, it should be https://discord.gg/9T27J6jF That happens when you are copying/pasting in a few areas at once...

I am using XRNecksafer, but what I would like to see is a Readme that explains what all the options do, maybe you can fill in my "blanks" as I see you are using "Translation" for one.. Below is what I would like to see as part of the Readme when finished: 1. Set Reset Button - set this to the same as you use for "Default VR View" in IL-2 2. Manual rotation - After hitting "Set Button" for "L:", hit "Scan" in the pop up window, then hit the key/hat/switch you want to use. Repeat for "R:" 3. "Rotation" Setting. Using the L\R (assigned) keys the view will snap to the assigned degree of view. If set to 90deg, hit L and you are looking 90 degrees Left, hit R you are looking 90 degrees right. 4. "Translation" in cm - No idea 5. Mode - Select Snap and it will go to the Rotation degree assigned above, Accum will move that many degrees each time the key is hit accumulatively. I.E. if Rotation was set to 20 it's going to 20 degrees 1st press, to 40 next press, 60 next, etc. etc. Here is where it gets blurry (to me). Please fill in the blanks, expound on anything semi-correct, and correct mis-assumptions. 6. Autorotation (enabled) - My assumption is: act - the degree of physical head turn that will actuate "autorotation" de - the degree of head turn that will return to the previous setting? rot - the amount in degrees your view will rotate? L/R - no idea Fwd - no idea..

Take a look at the XRNeckSafer Discord.. https://discord.gg/9T27J6jF

I'm all new to this but isn't the latest OpenXR Toolkit 1.1.3? That is what I just downloaded, have not installed yet..

I have the MFG V3 pedals and love them, have them set for very low centering force and bought all the available cams/springs so I would have a lot of choices for setup. Smooth as silk, toe brakes are great. My main deciding factor was the small width of my Next Level Racing stand had available, these (with the width kit) fit perfectly, all others (beside my original CH) were too wide to fit.. I also have the damper kit installed.

My scripts are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Thrustmaster\TARGET\scripts, to use the WarthogThrottleALLSwitchPos script you need WarthogThrottleALLSwitchPos.tmc and the targetdx128.tmh in this folder. IIRC i had to add a couple lines to get what I want but it ran as-is..

I have the Lilliput 8" Touchscreens (two USB's each for touch) and I quickly saw they (the touch aspect) were unreliable so I added the TM bezels soon after installing them. I would just get the non-touch 8", TM Bezels, and a powered USB hub. My screens do not have a USB input so as @No1sonuk stated, be sure what model you get does if you go that way. This is running Helios with the "other" F16 sim, I run them in portrait mode and use the extra space for critical gauges..
