How do you get VR to work, nothing happens other than Steam VR opens and I see a black receiver on white background. How did you guys get VR working, rift here RESOLVED see post #12

How do you get VR to run nothing happens other than Steam VR open and I see a picture of a black receiver on a white background. Anyone point to steps on how to use VR with the new version?

Thanks but I did not have this in the windows start menu, I ran the normal updater.exe from the bin folder but all it did was login to the same version. halfway through downloading the updates full file.

How do you upgrade version open beta for version 2, there hindered of pages but can't find any instructions? Do you have to download the entire thing again?

Lensman that was it thank you, on my monitor the first and left tabs of the options were mostly offscreen so did not see the VR tab on the end. Working again, thank you.

Guys can't find any instruction on how to get DCS non steam version working on oculus rift. I think it used to work but now when starting DCS it no longer appears to the headset just continue to display oculus home. Is there an .exe that launches it in VR mode somewhere?

I'm having the same issues sometimes it crashes other times it just freezes up. 16gb of RAM here FPS is good but the crashing and freezing pretty constant.

diditopgun also can confirm now 3.0.7 is working no crashes yet and all the eye candy of the prior versions. Thanks * Darn it no, it's crashing again .... I get three short pauses like stutters then it just crashes. Usually mid way through a mission third crash since I said it was working, darn it.

Thanks going to give it a shot I was using version 3.0.5

I'd like to see some work done on the textures for the dirt airports and the beaches, they are somewhat lackluster at the moment. The remainder of the map looking pretty good though.

In the past I had always used sweetfx and reshade to smooth out the jaggies without turning on AA in game, also vibrance to liven up the colors a little. It appears it's crashing DCS often with these installed on Normany and Nevada in 2.1 Anyone know of a workaround or a version that is working with the 2.1 installs? Thanks

Thanks for the early missions guys

Some flying in Nevada and Normandy on the new 2.1 version.

I like the look and feel of the new map, despite some issues to work out overall enjoying it.

Can confirm the low res textures are gone, yes looks better although the high texture mountain detail seems to be a little too patchy on the mountains not always blending in with the surrounding terrain. New shaders look great, minor hit to performance on my machine.

p51 shaders on wings turn blue, seems to be when the sun should be reflecting off them they instead turn blue - see this post for screenshot by another contributor https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=187964 FIXED - Shadows even on high are very low res and flicker terribly, tree's especially - change shadows to flat, is that the only fix? From far out when zooming in towns are just a blob on the screen, as you get closer they render correctly, seems to only be certain zoom distances Playing for a couple minutes and DCS has crashed 3 times so far FPS ok but not as good as Nevada, lots of micro stutters

So were the Nevada low texture issues fixed in the 2.1 release? Also had a major downgrade sometime after 1.5 in the graphics department. Any point in installing 2.1?

What time do they normally release their products, assume preorder will only last until it's release and trying to get several people to buy in to fly with but they will wait to last minute. Will they still be able to preorder on Friday morning?

I've always run dcs in 3072x768 surround mode on 2 4gb 670's in sli, tonight I switched to 5760x1200 and the frames dropped by more than half. from 60fps to around 25-28. driver version 376.33 I dont know if that would ber expected in moving to that resolution or if the driver is to blame. Should dcs look better at 5760x1200 over 3072x768?

You and me both, I thought the dogs knocked something over in the other room went to see which one it was. Got back and wondered what the hell that noise was- reopened and closed the ED forums like I had done prior, then just dismissed it as I don't know what the was. Was not until just now I realized it was the lights, yeah good times... they got me on that one!

Using the editor I see how to create a flight group of say 3 other a10's in my flight group, but can't find a way to mix the planes, so in my flight group I'd like an a10, f86, and black shark helicopter. Is this possible?

^ that worked thank you, will have to read up on how to make them do continuous circuits without adding 100 waypoints. Much appreciated.

I did not create waypoints, no but will try that.

When creating a custom mission I set 3 enemy AI to take off from ramp, however, they just sit there on the ramp and never leave despite being attacked. Is there a trigger or something I have to use to get them to move? If yes can you point me a tutorial on doing this? I would assume because I've set them to takeoff from ramp they should startup and go long before I'm able to reach their airfield. Thanks

Perfect you and NeilWillis resolved this issue for me. Thanks guys. That post was exactly what was needed. All is perfect now short of sitting in the real thing.:pilotfly:
