The bug has bitten. Welcome to the club! Tough time to join, given the state of the VR industry, but we’ll try to help out best we can!

Do I need to update NVPI every driver update?

Is there a reason there isn't a static speedboat unit? @Eight Ball

My performance is not as good with QVFR, as I can't limit the field of view like I can with OpenXR Toolkit. Here is what I'm seeing when I use HAM mode, which exaggerates the issue: And here's my log file:XR_APILAYER_MBUCCHIA_toolkit.log If anyone has any ideas on how to recalibrate what OpenXR Toolkit considers to be the outer ring, or where that value is stored, that would be very helpful!

I’m running a Reverb G2. QVFR won’t work for me

Hi folks. I'm having an issue where I'm seeing a portion of the center of my vision that OpenXR Toolkit believes is part of the Outer ring, see below (behind the menu, the triangle of culled pixel region): Note that menus and overlays are not impacted; only the game world. I have tried safe mode, uninstall/reinstall, with no luck. Is there some other config file I should get rid of? I have a Reverb G2, 4080 Super. @mbucchia I know this project is as dead as the support for my headset, but any tips on things I could try would be super awesome, but I'll understand if the answer is no.

But its through the installer itself that is throwing the error, not Windows Defender. I don't have an antivirus program... except Windows Defender. Would I just ignore/exception the downloads directory in Defender to resolve this?

I'm getting an error from the native updater that DCS World\Mods/aircraft/F-4E/bin/HeatblurJester.dll is a virus. Anyone know how to get around this? Tried both types of repairs. autoupdate_log.txt

Getting a message from the installer that HeatblurJester.dll is virus. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?null

Hi @NineLine, Thanks so much for the update! In the message, it refers to the following map that does not appear to be included. Any idea where I could find it? The included map does not appear to reference the Channel map: Thanks again!

I'd say, apply DLSS to everything but displays. It's feasible and done with on-screen displays in other games that aren't flight sims

I'm just curious what settings you are running these days!

I know this comes up every patch, but I'm getting a sense that this may actually matter this time. Would y'all answer my poll about VR performance in MT in Win11 vs Win10? Trying to debunk a theory...

Ok folks, I need your help: I'm seeing some correlation, but I need some data to see if it's causation! Can you quote this message with the following: Windows 10 or 11? Have you seen significant improvement, especially in historically challenging scenarios such as Supercarrier, Mariannas, etc. If possible share your FPS or frametime differences from pre-MT to MT I just need those two questions answered. Thanks everyone!

Out of curiosity, Windows 10 or 11?

Any chance in a future update we could get a checkbox to toggle OpenXR from within the game, rather than needing a command line argument?

I concur: the smoke is much improved! Thank you, ED!!!! For all those looking to have longer hangtimes for the smoke, the mod above still works, but it breaks IC, so keep that in mind. ED cannot implement that long for smoke for various reasons, but Open Beta 2.8.2.35632 features a significant improvement!

Then there is hope for WMR Software updates yet...

@mbucchiadid you survive?

Your system will struggle with VR, but with a decent amount of compromises, you will be able to happily fly. but do note that at least a 3-year old i9 and a 2080 is recommended to get decent performance in VR without making too many compromises.

The V1 cable doesn't work on some AMD chipsets. Most external/add-on USB controllers use a standard ASROCK controller, which the V1 cable does work with. You likely have the V2 cable, which fixes this (particular) issue,

As of today, both builds of DCS Open beta/Stable 2.8.1.34667.2 still have not resolved the issue with the airshow smoke, even in the Stable build. modifying/breaking Integrity Check is still required to get smoke representative of how it was in 2.7. Something akin to what is needed to fix this was implemented in less than 12 hours by a community member. Any chance we can get this fixed for the next build?

See DCS 2.8 Multithreading Development Progress. (digitalcombatsimulator.com)

Just an updated post to say: As of Today (28 Nov 2022), the Airshow Smoke bug has yet to be addressed, and any edit to the airshow smoke section in the LUA continues to break the Integrity Check. I know this is likely at the bottom of the priority list, but it'd be awesome to see this addressed in the next patch!

As you yourself stated, that’s a wholly different issue that may be resolved when/if they address this bug
