Thank you for this I had no idea there was a whole section or additional frameworks built by users like you - will try this. Thanks again.

I saw that you can create multiple spawn points then give them late activation, I know there is more to this but I think it's arma where you can drop a unit, widen a circle and say spawn somewhere in that circle. Does DCS have anything like this? I have only used the editor a handful of times and very basic just to spawn a few things. I might play DCS more if I could randomly spawn units assigned them waypoints to my FOB with attack order then take off and go hunting. Knowing where the units are going to be ruins the whole idea for me. Thanks

I got mine fixed last night here is what I had to do. I'm not saying I did not bork something up but I get so frustrated trying to get it to run I only come back every couple months to try again, last time I played the performance in VR was so bad I gave up again. This time found out it was because I had openXR resolution set to 100%, changed to 50% and it was fine. reverbg2, 10600K, rtx 3080, windows 10, 32gb ram. - Uninstall EVERYTHING including mixed reality - Reinstall Everything including mixed reality - reinstall the openxr toolkit

Thanks for the feedback Phantom, last night I was finally able to get the non MT version running in steamVR and the mt version runs on openXR once I installed openxr toolkit. I think the reason for my poor performance was my openxr resolution was set to 100% and pd to 1, when I lowered openxr resolution to 50% performance was fine which confuses me a little because from what I see almost everyone runs at 100% on openxr. 'm on a 10600K processor, rtx 3080, 32gbram, and reverb g2. Last time I played I gave up due to poor performance in VR, got excited about the Afghanistan trial so decided to fire it back up and try again. Literally spent the last day trying to get it to start up. Think I made some progress last night will probably spend the rest of the day trying to improve performance now. I am on Windows 10 Pro, glad I never upgraded

Thank you one question how do you get the MT version of DCS to run using SteamVR? Until I installed openXR toolkit the MT DCS.exe would not run. I understand there is a performance hit but still want to try to see what results I may get just not sure how to get MT DCS.exe to run in steamvr. Thanks

Are you saying you have reshade working in MT VR for DCS? You had to use reshade + this other toolkit?

I can no longer start DCS in VR, the headset never recognizes it. Shortcut no shortcut does not matter, updated simply will no longer start in VR after uninstalling and reinstalling mixed windows reality

So uninstalled everything and reinstalled, had no mouse cursor in game prior. Now when I launch DCS it won't go in to VR. The reverb g2 headset stays in the house things that's default and DCS never starts. DCS is set to run in VR in the option. Now, how do I get DCS to work with hp reverb g2?

I literally try to fly once every few months, when I get in DCS it takes hours to get setup and I get so frustrated I turn it off again and have no interest in flying anymore because it becomes a setup nightmare. Last time I tried installing openXR and it was complete stutters on a reverb g2 & 3080. Went to try again today and I have no idea how to run it without OpenXR, been trying to uninstall all the open XR stuff and rebooting but DCS continues to start without steamVR. How do you get rid of openXR and go back to steamvr?

FYI : in case anyone is interested seems like a good deal, appears to be new not listed as refurbished. $99 off the regular price. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1745332-REG/next_level_racing_nlr_g001_hf8_haptic_feedback_gaming.html

I've been tweaking for days, DCS that is. Finally managed to see 90 FPS on maps outside of the channel, loaded up the AH-64 tonight and and only got 32 FPS on Caucuses. I see the texture issue is still there where this helicopter requires medium instead of high textures and after changing that I'm seeing 60-75 now on the MT version using SteamVR. When I launch the non MT version also using SteamVR as openxr my FPS all the same settings I'm seeing 42-45FPS, up until tonight and all the tweaking I saw no difference between MT and non MT but obviously I see it now. Using an I5-10600K, 3080 card, Reverb G2 (currently running 50% resolution so have some room to move this up), PD = 1.0 I also set my pre-rendered frames in the NVCP back to 1, based on the GPU graph from steamvr it helped the frame times.

I'm on an HP reverb G2. Thank you for the info

I've been searching for what people are using in regards to custom render scale in OpenXR but I can't seem to find anything. In one of the setup guides the guy had it at 90%. I'm trying to benchmark my setup to see if it is on par with those of you who have been using dcs and openxr for a while. For those who use OpenXR - 1) What custom render scale percentage do you use? 2) Are you also setting another scaling inside DCS using the OpenXR toolkit? 3) Assume the majority of people are leaving DCS pixel density at 1 is that correct? Thank you

Thanks, if I add another profile for dcs.exe , I'm still unable to remove it and only the one continues to show up. My concern was that it was trying to use this profile and overwriting my settings to the MT folder which I also have setup. Turns out it was not so I don't have to worry about trying to make it go away. I don't understand where it pulls this from since I removed DCS, saved games, and all registry entries but it retained this in the NVCP list. Thank you

nullSeems I am unable to remove the below dcs profile, the remove button is greyed out. I've uninstalled DCS, removed everything from Saved Games and there are no entries in my registry for digital combat or black shark. Anyone know how to remove this profile from the control panel?

Actually just got it working, appears you have to set it up outside the headset, config the settings you want to use, then restart DCS and reshade should now be working.

Same here I went back to SteamVR but don't know how to get reshade working, only works outside the headset.

I'm not sure I have it setup properly but DCS now opens without starting SteamVR but I went from about 39FPS in the apache down to 22FPS with OpenXR . DCS and SteamVR run better for me so I'm not sure where my drop in performance is coming from as it seems others are reporting good increases. I'm on an rtx 3080 with a reverb G2.

I've not played in a couple months, just went in tonight to try again and same thing all of my modules were uninstalled. Upon trying to reinstall got the server could not connect errors and the third time it's now downloading the modules. I too have no anti virus software and only a single DCS account - would concur with OP something along the way uninstalled modules. Also turns out I can't get anything downloaded I keep getting server errors now. Enough fun for the night maybe will try next week 00000.219 INFO : DCS/2.8.1.34667.2 (x86_64; EN; WORLD,P-51D,THECHANNEL_terrain,AH-64D,MI-8MTV2,UH-1H,KA-50) 00000.219 INFO : branch: openbeta 00000.219 STATUS: Downloading version info... 00000.411 ERROR: Conection to server 'cdn.digitalcombatsimulator.com' failed: Couldn't resolve host name 00000.411 STATUS: Servers are unable to complete your request.

Anyone know where this can be downloaded from, the link does not appear to work anymore. Thanks

The link in this post no longer seems to work, anyone know where this can be downloaded? Thanks

I get between 50 and 90, channel map is worst for me. The trick for me was to go in to steam VR and set the resolution to 50% then open the the pre-app setting and set the multiplier to 40%, in DCS I crank IP up to 1.7. Seems pretty clear to me and frames are good. The resolution and multiplier setting in steam vr were the only ones that really improved my performance.

@Hammer 1-1 @Jarhead0331 I'm not sure I know what everyone else is getting FPS wise or what settings they have. My system is stock not overclocked, I got a i5 10600K processor, 32gb ram, DCS running on an SSD, 3080 GPU, and an HP reverb g2 for the VR. The steam VR settings are 50% resolution and a multiplier of 40%. Below are the settings I have in DCS. If I change the pixel density down to 1.5 or 1.3 I don't really notice any FPS difference, tried .9 but things got blurry for me and the FPS not really showing much different. The only setting I've found right now that impact my performance are the Textures (but only the apache), and the multiplier in Steam VR which I don't really understand what it does at 60% things are horrible at 40% seems good.

I found my issue it was in the steam VR settings. Had per eye resolution set to 50% around 2160x2160, but under DCS I had a multiplier set to 60%, dropped this to 40% and then had to lower the textures from high to medium like everyone else. Now get 41-45 FPS. I also noticed pixel destiny now plays where before when I changed it, had no effect, so whatever I changed in steam vr fixed me. Right now I've got pixel density set to 1.7 .
