  1. thanks ! FYI - Nadia doll for the win....
  2. Heyo I use the toolkit when flying VR in DCS... i just bought a popular civilian sim and am intending to use Open XR TK with it as well as i see they have compatibility for it. That said, if i create settings to the render scale or turbo mode in the other sim, will it keep those settings separate from what i have set in DCS? Cheers,
  3. i launch via desktop - usually i right click and run as admin. I have two desktop icons - one with the vr properties and one just pointing at the multithread exe.
  4. @Phantom711 No sir. I really only play DCS. I think my boy played the forest a while back but I have successfully played in the huey since then. I might just reinstall ... i really dont want to though.
  5. @The_Nephilim the file location is correct - its pointing to the bin-mt exe as expected. My path is correct i think.. nothing changed there: "E:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR does that look right to you? @Phantom711 WMR opens and i can see DCS launch into the 2D window on the wall of my WMR cliff house. Very strange.
  6. hey all - i have used dcs in vr plenty over the last year and it was always working quite as expected. Today i tried to launch using my VR shortcut (worked last week) and it keeps launching into a window in vr as opposed to a 3d space... That is to say my headset is working ... i'm looking at my desktop window in the G2 and when i launch DCS in vr it opens in a small window that looks like the VR preview window (it has that shaded black "oval" outline etc) I tried a skatezilla repair and it doesnt seem to help... any ideas?
  7. Ruh roh shaggy… not surprising but unfortunate news: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/deprecated-features what now? Is this a big a threat as I perceive?
  8. im also curious. i was entitled to 5 planes. I already have the p51/47/spit/109 ... i purchased the 190 on my own by accident. I'm sitting on a remaining plane credit and was watching the 262 as it was listed. Is this not happening? Can i swap my credit for the Mosquito?
  9. i flew the map for the first time tonight and loved it. I am soooo very much looking forward to some missions and MP servers enjoying hte space.
  10. Just a simple wish... not sure if its even possible. I have two shortcuts - one for Multithreaded pancake play for when i want to enjoy the beauty of DCS, stream or make movies. The second is a VR/openXR target that i launch to get into my G2. Its a small pain to launch into the application and have to switch the graphics profile and re-launch. I'd love it if launching the MT exe automatically launched into my high graphics profile and launching the VR path launched into my VR graphics settings. Might be of interest to others... i dunno. That is all.
  11. Hello, I tried to do some searched in the user files for mig21 today and as soon as i select a field, the "Search" button becomes unresponsive. It happens for all fields that can be selected.
  12. I just ran pancake in MT and can't get over how beautiful DCS looks with my settings maxed. My system is beefy enough to run max and look damn smooth and pretty as all h3ll. I guess im just tired with the endless tweaking trying to get smooth gameplay with my G2 and OpenXRTK. Things just look ugly and the performance is always poor. I do like the spotting soooo much better though. I'll miss that. I dont know if i just couldnt find the right settings or if i have to pack my reverb up until my next pc gpu/cpu upgrade. Anyone else hit a wall of exhaustion? Any inspiration out there or hope I should be watching out for? Enjoy the tweaking fellas... I'm thinking I'm finally out and off to actually be able to fly on the cold war server.
  13. Hey all - there are a series of things i try to remember when i am shutting down DCS - its everything such as powering down my usb hub for peripherals, charging my delan clip/headset, shutting down trackir camera etc. I often forget to charge or turn off some of my wireless items and was thinking i could trigger a displayed message using task scheduler recognition of dcs.exe being closed down. Does anyone have any experience? I think it may need a custom XML to monitor event logs but i do not know how to set it up. i googled other efforts like this: https://superuser.com/questions/1617797/task-scheduler-trigger-task-when-a-process-terminates but cannot get it to work. Any windows gurus willing to help a fella out? i would note that my DCS.exe does not sit in traditional program file or x86 paths as it is on NVME.
  14. i also added a single image .png into my f18 custom set and it also doesnt show. the old stuff (.pngs) that i had in there do but the single addition i put in isn't.... very strange
  15. thanks ^^ What do you think about my VRAM Tuning ... I dont really understand much on what or if i should touch that. I have it at 2020MHz as per the video i watched but see yours at 2110. Anything there i should be cognizant of?
  16. OK - so i'm a bit confused now... should the min freq be 2200 or 700 as @brain_delay mentions above?
  17. i thought AMD smart access memory was recommended to stay off for dcs and vr? Looking at your specs we are pretty close so yeah i guess i'll get it on. Thanks!
  18. Hey all, My PC Specs are: ASUS Tuf Gaming Pro x570 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @ 5 Ghz via Ryzen Master OC / XFX Radeon 6900 XT / 64 GB DDR4 3200 Its my first AMD card and frankly I'm really unfamiliar with both Adrenaline settings and these larger GPU .... I understand there is benefit in undervolting the cards so i followed a youtube tutorial on how to set the card up for VR. Can i ask those of you running VR to advise if this profile looks legit or is it trash? Would you be willing to share a profile for me to try if you think its better? Its weird because i dont really hear the fans kick in all that often in DCS... i would think they should? Thanks so much,
  19. Thanks @TED ; honestly i just uninstalled it as things seem pretty stable at the moment. I am assuming it has left behind no legacy changes once installed?
  20. Hey all, I have been using Process Lassoo as per the recommendations for VR optimizations in the post by @TED some time ago. I am sitting on a 5800x (16 threads) and isolated 0-11 for non-windows processes and then 0-15 for windows system and 12-15 for DCS. I run Ryzen master to bump my clock up to 5050 MHz - all core optimizer. Question: Before i update to the new patch, should i restore all my processes to 0-15 threads on Process Lassoo? Should i leave DCS at 12-15 or expand that to a wider range? Do you think curve optimizing for each core vs. all cores is better in ryzen master? Anything else i should be watching out for against my 5800x and 6900XT? Should i temper my expectations? Thanks all.
  21. Hey all, After updating DCS i am back in my gravity well of trying to optimize VR with my G2 and Open XR. I don't really know what i should be shooting for with my advanced FPS and frametime reporting... any standards that are acceptable when i'm looking at that little reporting window through OpenXRTK in-game? Also - i have always left MR and custom resolution in the OXR for WMR as "Disabled" and 100% assuming that any settings i pop into OXRTK will override. is this a correct assumption?
  22. Hooh boy... I haven't played for about 5 months and it looks like quite a bit has changed in the VR space. I am drowning a bit in the threads trying to catch up. A couple questions if y'all will suffer me. I am running Beta 2.7.18.30765 ... it reads like there have been performance issues with the latest updates. I have been playing mostly single player in my Reverb G2. Should I update or hang tight? I am running Process lasso to push DCS onto cores 12-15 with high CPU priority. (system specs in sig below). I have read a few bits that suggest there is some low level multithreading for audio now... is this correct and should i change my core affinities? I am running OpenXR + OpenComposite + OpenXRTK. I have never been happy with my framerates in VR. I am sure i am screwing something up. It reads like OXR is now baked in and i can dump the OpenComposite by running a command on my .exe... cool. I don't really use Motion reprojection or turbo mode in OXRTK. Should i push to the native OXR via exe or keep what i'm doing to await more optimization? Is there anyone willing to meet me on discord to try and optimize my system better for VR? My brain is melting and I'm hoping for advice across everything from setting My DCS settings, my cores, my 6900xt settings, my OpenXRTK settings if possible. I'm so tired of feeling a bit dumb with this stuff. Thanks for pointing me in the right directions fellas. S!
  23. so can i delete opencomposite now? i have a g2 and i think i'm interpreting its no longer needed.
  24. i am also interested in responses here. It would seem that there are definitely varying opinions but man I'd like some updated thoughts from folks. The last real debate here was from back when the 4k tvs became relatively available and affordable. what is the recommendation for the resolution vs size argument??/ Is there a sweet spot folks have landed on?
