Theres no better GPU for VR right now

I think DLSS being a better technology and nVidia holding more than 80% of shared market are both good starting points and if i remember correctly, if you want to implement DLSS on your engine nVidia helps with their people. In any case, having the basis requeriments on core engine should be easy to implement both of them

Both from today newsletter, cmon guys...

That's a great newsletter ED, very detailed, i expect 2023 its the year of the DCS core revamp

I cant make OpenXR Toolkit work with Pico, no matter how i launched theres no way i push Alt+F2 and Toolkit menu doesnt appears, it works for you? It works perfect with my Quest 2 but not in my Pico 4

Ah, <profanity>, thanks! The noise for break it was driving me crazy!

This is not something you fix with multi threading, thats like killing flys with a shotgun, this is just they changed something about flat shadows and they are broken, making it to increase CPU frametimes for no reason, with multi threading suppor they will still be broken...

But anyone here, not just increased performance but doesnt feel a noticiable worst performance? I would love to see some test before and after from those who say they dont feel any difference, something has change for bad since 2.8 and all guns points to shadows

Since the release of 2.8 two months ago we are reporting problems with shadows and, above all, the flat ones and the only thing we get from ED is "we are looking at it" I dont doubt that ED is working on it but an explanations would be great if are taking more than two months to fix it, we don't know what they changed and why about something working fine, we dont know if, for ED, this is a real bug or if its working as intended, just "we are looking at it" while the ones of us that spends thousands on a VR rig want to throw it through the window...

I see soft edges on both images, just a more aggresive LOD on default shadows

Yes

I still have soft edge on flat shadows, still the same

Changed from a 3080Ti to 4090, night and day, its simply that not all of us have the same measuring bar for quality or smoothness...

Pave Hawk or, if not, a Black Hawk

This, it would be nice if someone from ED (maybe @BIGNEWY can ask for clarification) can tell us what happen with flat shadows since four patchs have been launched and the bug is still there: Its really a bug or premeditated? If its really a bug what happen? Some change on regular shadows are causing problem on flat ones? If its not a bug, why the change? What benefits? Becaus it looks the same as regular ones and his perfomance drop its the same too It would be great to have some transparency about this problem? that way we, at least, can manage our expectations on this

Whats the problem with OpenXR on 2D? You dont have to change nothing, i use OpenXR and just use two separate shorcuts, one for 2D and one for OpenXR (which the only thing it do is launching the game in SteamVR mode) Thats on Standalone, you dont need Skatezilla, or enable/disable to go from one to another

I have already installed the new beta of the assistant (plenty of test on the last days with Pico, I want to have all the info before decide to return it) Wireless work way better but unafortunaly wired doesn’t work, so waiting for the official release

Nah, no way, at similars resolutions, even on godlike and 150mbps at VD there’s no near the USB Link at 350mbps, let not talk at 500mbps or 900mbps, compression issues are still very visible on VD. It’s a shame, Pico 4 is absolutely great against Quest 2, I don’t know how they messed with the most easier way of streaming

Definitively something is wrong in op system, on my PC (pretty similar) i get 72 stable fps even on a populated super carrier, 2700x2800 per eye, MSAA x2 and medium/high details, clouds on ultra

DCS needed a revamp on weather system and thinking that changing the old cloud engine based on sprites for a volumetric one without a performance penalty its non realistic, you cant expect that Crysis runs like Quake 2, what i dont take "not a very elegant implementation"? About a global setting for weather system maybe you can create a topic on whishlist, i dont see why not

From my modules the one that hav VR pilot body are: Mustang Spitfire (if i remember correctly) Tomcat Mirage 2000C Hornet Apache I know Harrier has too

Well, i have a Quest 2 and bought some days ago the Pico 4 and i think in the next days i will return the Pico one. First, I have VD on both but on Quest i never use it for DCS because i get MUCH better image quality on Link over USB than AirLink or VD at the max quality but on Pico USB streaming it’s a mess, the image quality is no near to Quest USB which can look really well. It would have been easier if Pico put a DP port on it like the Neo 3 Link but…

ED already said that they are working on this, in fact if I remember correctly it’s already working in Hind

The fix if you bought BS2 on Steam is buy the upgrade on Steam too and migrate it to stand alone, that works

Logged and if i search for BS2 module eShop tells me i have a license, so its not that
