@St4rgun, finally I'm not alone complaining about WMR performances. Did you try with SteamVR as the runtime for handling OpenXR ? On my setup, it's butter smooth ! Don't forget to set the rendered definition via OpenXR toolkit as it takes precedence over SteamVR...

Thanks a lot @Barthek for your work, looks great ! Congrats as well to @Morpheus for the OvGME compatible package

Hi ! Version 0.6 here, and something strange with the landing gear. It works with the keyboard shortcut, with the associated button(s) on the HOTAS, but... the landing handle does not move, the indication lights do not illuminate, and a click on the handle does nothing at all. Got the same behavior with the flaps ! Did I miss something ? Otherwise, great, great work !

+1 ! Huge frustration as well...

Had this very bug an hour ago, without any ATC contact !

For now, only EA modules are compatible with Ultraleap.

@HawkEXO this might be because there is only one entry for cutoff and idle positions, but wihout any logic. Other modules like F/A18 have "logical" command such as Cutoff <> Idle, meaning if the switch is on, then throttle is in cutoff position, else it is on idle position.

The thing is, event with buttons properly mapped (HOTAS Flaps up / down or Flaps up / 1/2 / down) you got to be relatively slow when swithing from up to down position otherwise the virtual lever will be stuck in 1/2 position. Something I can't reproduce with other aircrafts such as F/A18 or F86...

Oddly, I get the best performance with SteamVR using OpenXR API. I ran some test with WMR / OpenXR / OXRTK, at same definition (130% supersampling of the native 2160x2160 Reverb's screens) and FPS drop is around 20% ! Did anyone else experience such a strange and counter intuitive behaviour ?

I noticed the same boost, even on MSFS ! I can now achieve a steaby 45 (90 reprojected) on sceneries where I struggle to get 30. Let's hope Microsoft is aware of this and keen to fix the issue, but according to their recent statements about VR, I 'm not optimistic :-/

MR does it automatically. Half the native headseat (i.e. 45fps for a 90Hz helmet) of 1/3 if it can't achieve half. Be aware that at 30fps, MR has to compute 2 predicted frames before displaying the next rendered frame. Smoothness is still here but at a price of some artefacts, especially during fast aircraft and/or head moves.

Actually, when activate MR, the engine spits up 45 fps at a constant pace, so you never see additional frames (unless your rig can achieve 90fps with MR on auto mode), so useless is not the appropriate term here. Think of it this way : the frames above 45fps (slightly above, cause computing the predicted frames take time) that the computer does not need to render are a power reservoir which can be used for other things like IA, weather etc.

Smoothness is more a matter of how regularly the frames are displayed than how many... Motion reprojection sends a perfect steady 90fps (assuming the headset has 90Hz display(s) ) from only 45 actual rendered frames. This is the reason why it is smoother than a framerate running like crazy between 60 and 80. I'm in VR for almost 3 years now, and I still really can't figure how people can play without Motion Reprojection without dying from headaches, or simply throwing up ! (No offence @BIGNEWY ).

Do you use OpenXR natively (motion reprojection is known to be prone to stutter and ghosting) or with SteamVR (works much better) ?

Actually OpenXR and WMR are different things, the first beeing an API , the latter a runtime. I think you can. As well as openVR is the default API used by SteamVR. As a consequence, I think you can give it a try...

I noticed that too, and put it on the fact that my SteamVR is now configured to be OpenXR runtime. As I never used OpenXR with SteamVR before, could you confirm that the per-app setting is available with the single-thread version of DCS ?

I had the same idea this afternoon and I can confirm this is a life changer ! I never liked OpenXR because of the stutter & ghosting combo that comes with its reprojection, compared to OpenVR's one. And for information, I now use SteamVR / OpenXR in MSFS too and the experience is significantly improved as well, especially regarding the tearing behind propellers disc !!!

10700K 3080ti Reverb G1 here. Went from 39 to 50fps in the SuperCarrier cold&dark mission, 37 to 53 in the FA18 Instant action Battlefield. Having in mind that this is only the first iteration of MT, future is going to be great ! I just miss SteamVR, for its reprojection which is way, way better than OpenXR's one ( stutter and ghosting ruining the experience ). Hope the hotfix will be available soon.

Thank you @Luiz Renault, you are doing a really good job ! This airplane is very nice to handle overall. Just some odd behavior when it comes to yaw (either on the ground or inflight), but that might be a limitation of the actual FM...

This is not the most beautiful aircraft in the world, but man, what an outstanding job you did ! Model and textures are payware grade. Handling seems ok, even if I didn't get an eye on flight manual perfomances table yet. Thanks a lot, and by the way, can't wait this J35 that looks very promising on you Discord

There is a lot of early access modules on Trial

Quaggles can be installed withoud any mod manager, just remember to copy the script file after an update (but it's only one copy, quick and easy, no need to recopy/reedit all aircrafts config files) (Nice helmet by the way, MAXsenna , I remember trying one back in 95 with US Navy Fighters...)

Hi ! I modified the default LUA file to have a UP ELSE DOWN switch command for the landing gear. That works like a charm when using normal landing gear control behavior. However, when I tick the simplified mode, the landing gear retraction/extension can be inverted by the G key, which is not the case in normal mode (G still has an action on undercarriage but recycling the associated switch resync the switch with the virtual lever)

The tricks explained above work, but you have to re-edit the lua each time the module is updated. A more solid workaround here : https://github.com/Munkwolf/dcs-community-keybinds Same philosophy except modifications are in your SavedGames folder, hence no need to re-edit files after updates
