I have been turning on steam to energize the headset, then clicking on the desktop icon to start DCS. I’m assuming that is correct? Another question, So if FPS is stable at 40, cockpit clear and easy to read, motion so far smooth and vision clear even when I pull up to a wingman or tanker, yet when I merge w a fighter it looks like multiple planes sliding by (think slow mouse pointer ). Is that just low fps or is there a setting to help clean that up? Thanks!

Could you clarify or quantify this statement? Thanks!!

Noob here but have a very similar system. I find when the environment runs choppy your pushing in game settings too high. When it outright crashes, your pushing your video card too much. Try dialing back the OC on your video card. Just a thought. Good luck

Hi all, Did a bit of multi player futzing last night and had a situation. I am getting the basics of IFF on the hornets radar but my problem is this. On a server with no tags, how the heck do you you figure out who is the bad guy, once they are in visual range?? At least the servers I was on, all the airframes and liveries seem to be universally mixed on both sides. Even when I get a clear view, I have no idea what team they are on. Example, yesterday I came over the mountains right below a plane, slid right in behind and when he finally saw me spent 10 min chasing his six. I didn’t want to fire on a friendly so after he said F it and rolled straight and level I pulled in on his wing. F18 check, US markings check. I finally said heck with it and backed of to rtb. Once we separated I acquired him on radar and dang if he wasn’t the bad guy. Am I missing a piece of the IFF puzzle on the hornet close in? Are there servers without tags that have coalition markings Segregated airframes or colors for VID? Keep in mind I'm about a week into this so learning, go easy. Thanks

Thanks for replying! At least for now things seem to be working great so not going to mess w it.

Thanks gents! Will also get on that manual! Finally able to get out of they system config mode and actually start flying!!! Been a chore but steady at 45fps on my index which I’m happy with sans some magic fix.

Can someone please tell me how to tell when external tanks on the f18 are empty and how to drop them? I see the jettison button on the left front console but it looks like it only drops weapons and regardless doesn’t seen to do anything. Admirals doorbell works but only want to ditch empty tanks. Thanks!!!

Is there a big enough spread between the stable version and the open beta versions to warrant a casual user that uses VR to get involved? Obviously those in the VR side of things are constantly trying to squeeze performance out of their headsets. Any notable improvements or attempts at improvement between current stable and OB? Thanks again to entire community for your assistance!!!

Yep. Returned to crashing today in MP. Mine more than likely from a new steam update as I run the stable version and Didn’t deliberately update anything. Unless it’s automatic?

GlowingSidewinder's server is getting more and more rediculous

Actually I’m 60 and your free to choose Blue if you wish! That said my response was not helpful and actually kind of dickish so My apologies! Long day! -
With about a 20 page thread bitching about the race and sex of the animated pilots, if I was a developer I would say no friggen way!!!

Deleted by me because unhelpful. Sorry! -
Is there a way to only have 1 Mouse input in VR? I have an x in vr but it moves with both my track ball and head movements. Would rather just have it move with track ball and not my head. Any help? (Yep tried search, not exactly sure how to ask) Thanks!!

Ok so disabled hyper thread. Lowered steam resolution in both general and video to 100. Index set at 80mhz In game PD to 1.8 Ran smooth and flew along side a e3 refueling plane off its wingtip and attempting to refuel Basically sat at 40 fps. Much better that the 27 I was getting. Actually enjoying the experience now that the nausea has subsided. Would like to get frame rates up a bit but small victories. Thanks so far for all the help!!
-
Thanks, yep 16x. I just find it interesting that I look down and feel like I could read a billboard but when I fly past a plane I see several outlines smeared together. Im assuming it is because the plane is moving faster than it can be completely rendered. I did some “tuning” of the base computer and my benchmark score was highest on the list when compared to “similar systems” As described by the benchmark program. (Superposition) so my graphics card is up to snuff. I have nod deactivated hyprthreading in the bios. Will it make that big of a dif? If so, how is it done? Thanks! Crazy how people can have the exact setup yet they respond so differently.

Had a crash free evening in the Just dogfight server. Using your initial settings but creeping them up until I got funky junk happening then backed off. Mostly smooth, cockpit very readable and even shot down a few planes but unless Im still jacked, There is just no way I can even tell which way a plane is headed unless my nose is just about to ram it. I did vaguely identify a mirage and a half smear by my window in the opposite direction. Maybe VR is for BVR??

Set up per your initial post several back and it was choppy. Modified it with the changes above in custom resolution and it got better. Still a bit of a “flicker” in a snap roll but no crashes and actually had a dog fight on a MP server. Still some tweaking to go obviously but better. Going to bump my GPU and CPU to some very mild over clock to see if that brings things around a bit more. Im at 90 refresh rate on headset fyi. Thanks for help so far!!

Question, with steam running there is a little “monitor” or meter thingy that shows up on my desktop. When in flight it pegs red. Obviously I am overloading some function or functions. What exactly is that represent? Would show some pictures but unsure how. Thanks!!

Thanks guys!! -
Great. Thanks!

Sorry to hijack. Since I can’t seem to make “stable”, stable, it there a link for the noon to download and deploy OB? May as well give her a shot. Thanks

Recommended video was YouTube “ windows 10 1803 optimization guide for gamers and power users. Followed to the T and it seems to be acting wonky now. Never paused after a click ever prior. -
Can somebody explain why when in VR I go to a flyby view and see my head move as a beautiful f18 rides by with me in the seat, yet when I look out the cockpit at the plane just to my right wing, it looks like ass? I mean you can barely tell what type it is?? Very confusing. Thanks

Im beginning to feel the same. After watching dozens of videos allegedly through the lens, it never occurred to me that its actually the image but shown on a high res monitor. The excitement was excruciating, top hardware, updated drivers all the tutorials. Strapped the headset on and was blown away by the immersive potential. Spent hours so far configuring software and balancing settings. Fought through crash after crash until the cockpit was crystal clear and the plane flew butter smooth but never above 45 fps. Back to the settings as crash after crash frustrated my attempts to get online. While the immersive quality is addictive, its like being in a plane, the constant crashes and inevitable nausea started to really wear on me. Making me wonder if after all this, I made a bad choice. Finally, rapture. Startup, taxi, off to the skies with a crystal clear cockpit and “acceptable” frame rates. I even pushed through the little prick that shot me down twice on the same team with his “oops my controls are screwed up “ excuse. Oh well, onwards and upwards finally excited again as I begin to pull up on the wing of a “teammate” excited to replicate some of the scenes of formation flying that attracted me in the first place. As I pull in tight, I look out of my crystal clear cockpit to see a pixilated blob just off my wing. Thats it, I'm out. Question is now, monitor or quit? Really frustrated with the crashes, configurating of the platform and forget about vr! Rant over. Have a great holiday.
