Ya I have the white cusor dot as well but I cant click on the buttons becuase I cant get close enough to the panel to click on them. It is like there is an invisible wall blocking the cursor. I tried recentering view and zooming in but neither works. Only the controllers worked and those are finicky.

Thanks man let me know. Also if that is actually your dog in your avatar then he belongs in the World Hall of Fame of Awesomeness.

Ya When I am at the PLAT cam it is when I am in a plane on deck. I only see the white cursor dot at the plat cam. The only way I have been able to activate the buttons is with the VR controllers by reaching out to use the finger to click them. I do not see the blue cross at the Plat cam at all. Using the controllers is a pain because I have to get the finger of the VR hand in just the right spot over the buttons on the PLAT terminal.

I dont have MSAA turned on n game or in the NCPL. I am not seeing stutters though. Just the black artifacting in MP servers.

ya it only happens in multiplayer right? I played in single player tonight for over an hour and never had an issue with these black artifacts. Then went back to a MP server and it started happening immediately. Most of the time I just see small black areas and they go away quickly. Yesterday I went as far as reinstalling DCS. I am also seeing frequent steamvr crashes now if I increase PD past 1.0. It seems like it is isolated to PD increase.

Since 2.7 I have been getting these odd black artifacts that start off as small black dots then sometimes start to grow on one side of the HMD in my G2 or the other until I turn my head away then back and then it is gone. It is only inside the headset and not showing in the desktop window or Steamvr window. I do not get this happening in single player though. Nor do I see happen in steamvr house or windows cliff house. Only in DCS and in MP servers. I cant record this issue at all since it doesn't render in the DCS window at all.

Ya Gamma is not the solution since turning it down makes everything even darker than at 2.2 which is already darker even with no clouds. It is almost like there is some filtering effect of the sun light. I made a mission with no clouds at noon and set time of year in July when the sun should be really bright. I went back to my old NVME drive with an older version of 2.5.6 and did the same thing and it was much brighter but not blown out and washed out looking by turning up gamma.

I will try it out. Im downloading 128gb of modules right now.

I just went as far as uninstalling DCS and removing all the old files and folders. Installed again with no improvement to cloud quality or FPS. My performance was much better before the 2.7 update. As I mentioned before this is on a 2 month old OS install on a new NVME drive. I am still on OS ver 1909 because 20H2 ran like dogcrap for me. I use a 2080ti FTW3 Ultra and 9900ks OC'd to 5.1ghz. 2080ti is OC'd to a stable clock as well. I also increased paging file to 32gb to 64gb range and did all the normal system tweaks and DCS settings like Hot plug disable and disabled gameDVR etc.

Ya I tried renaming the folder and starting with a new saved games folder and it makes no difference in cloud quality or FPS/frametimes. Clouds still look like out of focus puff balls and fps and stutters increased for me. I previously had a fresh OS install on my new NVME drive with very smooth performance at the same settings as now. I can get 45fps but the stutters and frame drops have become worse and more frequent even with a new DCS folder created.

In VR my cursor is already up yes and I cant click on the cut or wave off button at all. It is like there is a wall between the cursor and the button. I got it to work in 2D by using ALT+C to bring up the cursor.

I found no way to interact with the LSO platform in VR but when in 2D and I use the wave off button the AI ignores it. It would be nice to have keybindings for the LSO platform if possible. I know that can be problematic since anyone could trigger them when not at the LSO platform. If I was a coder I would know if it was possible to only allow the keybindings to work when at the LSO plat view. But I am not, so I don't.

Ya it doesnt work when im in VR at all. ALt C makes the cursor go away

I tried the Clouds on Ultra and it makes no difference at all. They still look out of focus and blocky. I increased SS in steamvr for my G2 to 150% and it still looks the same. I have textures on high and no MSAA. It costs too much in VR for me. There is also a lot of banding when looking down at the ocean at high altitude. Same effect as looking at the sky. I did not see this banding issue on the ocean in previous OB version.

Does the game look more grainy overall to you? Just looks like crap now in my G2 and I tried to upscale SS and nothing helps. My FPS took a dump as well. May try a full reinstall of DCS. Sometimes that helps after several updates to fix weird FPS issues for some.

I see the cloud issues and an overall out of focus look to them and the game in general. The game looks less clear and I see more AA everywhere in the G2. None of my settings changed. Performance drop has been noticed as well. FPS drops are common on every map now. I run the Case 1 SC PG mission a lot and I was getting very stable 45fps and now it is jumping around a lot.

I see no button to click on in 2D or VR

Yup clouds are blurry and pretty much awful in VR. The sea is also way too dark and the game just looks grainy now in the G2. It looked clean and sharper before.

Yes this works. I am also having an issue where some of the image in the headset at the bottom of the G2 is being cutoff and there is a pale blue background that is showing throw the sliver of uncovered area

I do notice a lot of shimmer or flashing effect over the city areas with it on. The shimmer gets worse around buildings.

Just tested this out with my G2 and I set the sharpen to .9 and sharpen intensity to 1.5 and the game looks way better. The cockpit text is far more clear then it was before. I run the G2 at 100% SS and then 16x AF in game with no MSAA or SSAA, blur or SSLR and shadows at low. The shimmer is still there but the color difference helps in a way along with the sharpen effect. When on the ground and turning the effect on and off it is like removing dirty glasses and you can actually see detail in the concrete etc.

I posed this very option weeks ago and was met with several people that think it is a dumb idea. I am with you though. People are focusing too much on open public server bullshit going on and not the massive improvement it would make to planning and conducting missions for private server run air groups. That said we need to be able to fly the tankers so we can have more flexibility in mission planning and changing the positions of tankers on the fly.

Ok good, now I do not have to try to explain to the old ball and chain how buying something on sale that I don't need, actually makes really great financial sense.

Curious to know what stick you are using.

Is there any way to make the KC135mprs flyable where it will still allow it to act as a tanker? Same goes for normal KC135.
