Hello guys and gals! Anyone out there willing to share their experience with these two types of systems? I bought a Nobosound 50w amp and a couple tt-25-8 pucks and along with SimShaker, works OK, but lacks realism I'd guess? Lots of vibrations and such but is lack of definition of sounds these inexpensive pucks, the amp or ? I bought this first as we're gonna put under some recliners in our tv room if doesn't work out, just for a fun experience watching movies/sports etc. I've got 2 of these securely mounted under my chair via the bolts from the backrest, just sort of underwhelming. Could I buy a better transducer with the amp I have or ? Not too worried about the 60-70 Bucks as we have another use, but I think my experience so far leaves me wanting just a bit more. I'd consider mounting a BST-1, I almost grabbed one instead of the 2 smaller pucks. Let me know your experience and if you have any advice, thank you!

Just trying to put in a simple one or 2 speaker bass shaker to mount under seat. Seems like every list or parts I find are no longer / out of stock etc. Edit - So I ended up putting some stuff together, we'll see and I'll update here for anyone else that may be interested. Well, for anyone reading I ended up putting a list together and will give it a shot. I'm just putting 1 bass shaker speaker under my chair, I'll mount on some scrap plywood on bottom. Will figure out some software and go from there. So, I can't really "blow the house down" as I'm upstairs and while they'll be some vibration I'm sure I don't need a 100 watt + system. I'll figure out software after I get this stuff next week, if anyone has any tips lemme know. What I got - About $60 bucks so far + tax Nobosound Amp comes with power supply - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y67PZB1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_9XS01CD6GM9C8CDNT0FK 8 ohm Tactile Transducer Dayton Audio TT25-( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009RGJ47S?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_71F9GCMY5NEAWPQ7CYQE 10' USB A (from computer) to USB C (input to AMP) Will route alongside my HP G2 cable and under chair - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNGG3DS6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_SMBNHVFE1NEX0AZNPV3V

I'll give it a read, thank you!

Def helped me. Are you aware if we're still supposed to be using stings like :\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR or just the default or ? I had tweaked some stuff a year or more back but not sure of current wisdom?

Thank you for this, I'll definitely check it out! I had read there was no need to do this anymore, but.. I noted in the Metashaders folder a number of older files where they are all newer now. I don't know enough about how any of this works except it seems to have helped. Glad it helped you too!

For what it's worth to anyone reading, I ended up just using the default executable to launch while in Mixed Reality Portal, and didn't use the MT one above, this was better. I also found some advice to delete the contents of FXO and Metashaders folders from Users/Saved (:\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta) which combined with just using the default executable, much better. A few jitters here and there but much better. I didn't adjust or tweak any other settings. Hope this helps someone else reading, definitely enjoyable at this point.

I am still using the MT "":\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR" do I need to be doing these things at this time? Is there a more current recommendation to start the game? Prior to the last update, I thought that I had the jittering under control via some some of the recommended settings, I haven't tweaked anything in quite awhile, and gameplay is really bad imo. If I look anywhere except thru the canopy it's just jittery and bad, I don't mean to sound negative but at what point does gameplay get better? I mean, heaven forbid.. looking down and using the mouse to lower/raise gear and your view is jittery and becomes off center etc. I can seem to find the 5 key with VR set on lol, to re-center. What gives with this latest update and what is the future of this game? I was excited to get involved but as time goes on, I'm wondering.. I have a decent rig, 5800x, 4080, 32gb ram.. HP G2 in VR, I play other stuff very very smooth but DCS is fun but quite a challenge anymore in VR.

This will sound lazy to an extent, but I've used the Thrustmaster T16000 Flight stick for a looong time and have looked around at the user files for some ideas and VKB's tools but again, this sounds lazy but where is the best place to start? I've not played for a little bit now as I keep fumbling the ball with the new controller. I'm leaving the TWCS for throttle etc but my T16000 was flat worn out.. I could easily update settings, maybe I should just plug in a user file and tweak but thought I'd ask if someone had some tips/suggestions. Thank you!

Thank you for the reply and encouragement. I've updated OpenXRToolkit (mine was really outdated, seemed to make a pretty big/positive difference) and added the "--force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR" as BigNewy said, I couldn't figure out how to disable the open composite tool but I think bipassed it. All the other stuff combined, Nvidia Control Panel recommendations etc. really didn't do much, adding the --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR to the MT/MultiThread file as shown, really made the biggest difference in getting back to 60fps consistently. I am still getting a little jitter, mostly in the F16 (I don't understand that) but much much better. Thank you again to those providing some guidance for the eager, but less informed Until I added the text string as BigNewy showed, I don't think opencomposite was bipassed, I don't have any way to check or compare, except for the end result. Updating OpenXRToolkit and adding that text string were the 2 biggest improvements for me. I have a 5800x 32gb and a 4080.. pretty happy overall, kicked ground textures back up to high, visibility up to high, water high, clouds high. I followed the example from the post I quoted above.

So, following some advice I tried disabling OpenXR Toolkit after deleting/uninstalling opencomposite only some small amount of improvement, I'm on a G2 so WMR is part of things, not sure if making better or worse. Still so many jitters looking in the cockpit. I have a G2 Reverb and WMR opens by default when I put the G2 on, when I open MT all works OK but still have jittery experience When I opened ST it seems to want to open Steam VR and I guess OpenXR, 2 instances to some extent. I have a 5800x 32gb and a 4080 what is the current MT recommendation to use the G2 in VR? I'd say my experience has gone backwards somehow after last couple updates and now tinkering. I don't think you can open MT in Steam afaik. If you're having a good experience in VR with the G2, how are you opening / using? Thank you!

Found the disable command in the toolkit, done. Basically, the only instance I can find of OpenComposite is the file folder itself.. was there a .dll in DCS or something else done?

Thank you! Apologies if answered elsewhere but what's the best way for both of these rec's.. uninstall or ? Thanks again!

I've been using the MT executable and until the last couple driver updates, had not been bothered too much by the jitter, as of late that's no longer the case and the jitter while looking at at cockpit / controls and even side to side.. jitters. Ugh. I've been using open composite instead of Steam VR and the OpenXR tools. If the current wisdom is switching from Open Composite back to Steam VR, I'll try that. I'm up to date on drivers, ED Open Beta, etc. I've a good rig and a 4080 and play with HP G2 V2 I may try single thread as well, my 5800x kept up before but initially I noticed a pretty decent uptick in FPS in VR. Thanks in advance!

Had been looking to upgrade HOTAS and had previously been looking at VKB NXT EVO to replace the T16000m Flight Controller and the STECS popped up, tempted to give the Mini a try, I have the T16000m. I fly in VR most of the time, I'm leaning towards the STECS Mini or maybe the plus if it makes sense to upgrade, anyone have experience with these yet?

Thank you. I saw the MT was on stable and thought maybe MT was by default, I've had good results so far, thank you Rudel!

Is MT on Open Beta by default or still separate shortcut we've been using?

Still separate. Thank you!

Sorry if already answered, for MultiThreading, are we still using the specific MT file or does the default executable call for MT now? I have a separate shortcut but didn't know if still needed for MT.

Maybe a dumb question, if I'd followed this guide previously.. and used the prescribed tools and now Open Beta includes native support, what would I need to do to have it run native if I wanted to? Is there a need to do anything? I use a G2, have a a4080, 32gb DD4, 5800x and it runs pretty darn good via MT/recent updates. Thank you as always for the awesome information!

Thank you both! I do have a 5000 series AMD CPU (for now) I think I'm holding off for a bit.

Watching this now.. oh my lol. I'm just gonna hold off for now. Thanks for the heads up!

Thank you! This is definitely worth considering.. I thought at this point there must be improvements to Windows 11 vs Windows 10, if that's not the case.. I'm with you, I'll leave alone. Thank you again.

Hello! As title suggests, I'm curious as to Windows 11. Some of my other software is now compliant with Windows 11 and I'll likely choose the upgrade path. I've no problems with my Windows or system as a whole. Curious as to others experience and path taken. I use VR via a G2 and a 4080 if that makes any difference?

I had both stable and OB until recently, I play mostly in VR and really didn't notice much difference since last update on stable and OB, part of reason I ended up uninstalling stable.

Are both the Mirage 2000 and F1's going to be allowed on the Cold War server? I saw Enigma's video speaking about the positives of the Mirage 2000 for Cold War but looking at the list of planes, I don't see it there anymore, just the F1? Wasn't sure if both or just one Mirage variant are allowed. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
