Speed... Re: your first response Even a bigger thanks to you now. When my PC arrived a few days ago and I booted it a message came up and said it would now install all of the latest firmware and drivers. It listed everything it was going to install (fairly lengthy list) and one item said "Latest Nvidia Drivers". Your first message reminded me maybe I should go and check and make sure they had done this. Turns out they said that they had... but they actually had not. It was not only not on the latest driver, the driver was actually quite old. Dumb of me to trust a hardware vendor. Thanks again for reminding me of this. Have a good day

Thanks speed, I took a look and it seems they are referring to the Aero and 5090 issues that occurred in conjunction with earlier Nvidia drivers. As you mentioned Nvidia resolved that problem a while ago a few months ago) when they released a new driver. I held off buying a computer with a 5090 until that issue was resolved. My problem has to do with connections I believe but I do appreciate you trying to help - Thanks

Hi… I just got a new Alienware Area-51 AAT2250 (5090, Intel® CoreTM Ultra 9 285K processor, 64 GB RAM) and tried to install my Aero. It fails on the 3rd step of the install, it says "Headset Connected" and "checking connection, please wait" and the process never finishes. The new machine is fully up to date on everything and has only the keyboard/mouse and monitor connected. I have tried everything I know (tried multiple USB ports, multiple Display Ports, multiple versions of the Varjo Base drivers, rebooted everything multiple times) and no luck. Ideas? Thanks

I am not very technical so I am not going to try the Varjo registry edits but I do have default Mbuccia DFR installed (I have never modified any values). So am I correct in assuming I can either: 1) Keep Mbuccia DFR installed and in the new DCS VR options just check Quadviews and UNcheck eye tracking 2) Remove Mbuccia DFR and check both Quadviews and Eye tracking (but I may get worse visual quality and performance) I just want to make sure before I update. Thanks

Thanks for your comments TZigy. First hand accounts are always valuable. As a current Aero owner I am not suffering at the moment but I am starting to think about the next steps and the VR1, XR4 and Crystal Super are all on my radar... with the VR1 probably being the most "real" at the moment. Tzigy... Did they happen to mention the PC specs they were using for the demo? Did you get to talk to others who were trying it? ...Thanks

I currently have the Aero and am still quite happy with it but I am just now starting to think about what comes next for me (onwards and upwards). 1) The XR-4 seems a logical next choice (I am on the list). When I last talked to a Varjo rep a few months ago he said there would be 2 software updates (February and March) that would make it fully compatible with the software that I use (Flight and Racing). The first of those did come out and hopefully the second is about to. Then it will be a matter of timing for the release. 2) Somnium VR1 is still in consideration but it is not out yet (soon) and I still do not have enough information to make any final decisions on it. I wish them well and I am hoping the end result is good. 3) I believe the current Pimax Crystal is good from everything I have read but I don't think it is a big enough jump from what I already have. However it will be worthwhile to see what they come up with next and in what time frame. Any other up and comers people are thinking about?

OK thanks... so i am assuming then that DCS will not work properly with the Aero unless I use the mod. -
Varjo Aero: Общее руководство для новых владельцев
Darpa replied to Supmua's topic in Virtual Reality
My new computer is arriving shortly (4090, i9-14900KF) and I will be setting it up with the Varjo Aero. I have been reading the opening message to this thread and I will be using the option listed as: "How to: DCS multi-threaded via Varjo OpenXR” One question: I understand that using mbucchia’s Varjo Foveated mod will give me Foveated Rendering but if I do not use it (if I just use DCS MT exe with default Varjo OpenXR) will everything function properly (i.e. no quad view issues or cursor problems etc.)? … Or do I need to use the mod to get rid of any possible functionality problems as well as getting Foveated rendering? Thanks -
I have had the Aero since the beginning and I was very pleased with it then and still am today.

Do I still need the '--force_enable_VR' & '--force_OpenXR' switches?
Darpa replied to obious's topic in Virtual Reality
I think the "offical" answer would be no (you don't need them). However after the last update i found the sim was starting in 2D mode at times rather than VR. I added back the --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR switches and now it boots in VR again all the time. Better safe than sorry. -
OK... I am just answering my own question in case anyone else runs into this issue. I think I have found a solution (still not 100% sure but it has worked each time I tried it so far) For the MT exe I add the following --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR I know I should not have to do that but each time I have done this the sim starts in VR and does not start in 2D only. So it is working so far (fingers-crossed)

If anyone has any ideas about the following problem I would love to hear your suggestions. Thanks Problem: Since the update to the latest stable version of DCS (2 days ago) the application will boot into VR only about 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time it just boots into the 2D (monitor) environment. There is no pattern to this. If it does successfully boot into VR all is well and everything operates as it should. If not, then I am just stuck in 2D and have to shut the application down and start all over again. The next time it may, or may not, run in VR. Facts: - I have just updated to current stable version of DCS 2 days ago (this is when the problem started) - DCS was running flawlessly before I updated DCS in VR using my Varjo Aero - I am running the current version of Vajo Base software (and it has not been updated since the problem started) and it always starts on system boot. - I run the MT version of DCS - No other changes to my VR system software (Varjo Base) or any other software has occurred on the machine - The problems occurs whether I reboot the system after each try or if I do not - I have no trouble with VR in any other flight sim (or any other software) - either before or after the last 2 days

I am just starting to fly the Hind. I am learning to fly as the Pilot first and then will move on to other positions. 4 quick questions: 1) The mirrors seem to have 3 settings... none of which act as mirrors. I firstly get a blue and yellow image in the mirrors, then if I press the mirror button again I get blank mirrors and if I press again the mirrors vanish. Does anyone know how I get real mirror images to appear? 2) How long of a "press up" in the AI settings do you need for the AI Petrovich to free fire a missle. I can get him to search, he will find and then list targets, I can select a target from the list but he never fires a missle. I have a 4 way hat switch set to control his actions and I am using "up long" to try and get him to fire... but he seems to be ignoring me. 3) I have English cockpit set in the "settings" but the cockpit is in Russian only 4) I have no map on the right side in the cockpit. What is needed to turn this on? Thanks for any help you can offer on these items.
