[Oculus ASW vs Steam equivalent @ Sep 2020]

Thanks for the reply's

 

Of late I have had a stutter due to Oculus SW updates and think Oculus is not the company which will put any effort into our world of detailed simulation - probably not the long term way to go for me......therefore....

 

Took the plunge and ordered a G2

[Oculus ASW vs Steam equivalent @ Sep 2020]

I currently have a rift S and had a CV1 before that. I briefly flirted with a PIMax headset but it was very stuttery compared to Oculus

 

Now thinking of moving to a HP Reverb G2 (when it comes out) but was wondering what the equivalent to ASW wizardry is like .

 

Its tricky to get high FPS in VR in DCS hence ASW (or equivalent) neds to work well. Does anyone have experience thats up to date with how the steam VR works specifically with DCS and how it compares to Oculus

 

Thanks

[2080TI Performance - this can't be right?]

thanks all for the responses

 

I purchased 32BG RAM. got it running at 3.33GH (its 3.6 but will not boot at that rate)

 

Its better...... now can run

 

Water High

Vis range Med

Shadows High

AA x 2

AF x 8

PD 1.3

 

Without stutter (except the channel map which still stutters)

 

Can't go above 1.3 PD though else the stutters are back

[2080TI Performance - this can't be right?]

thanks for initial thoughts

 

I did not use Display Driver Uninstaller -- but did this morning - but the same issue remains

 

The CUP is running at 4.9 all the time via turbo boost - no heat problems

 

I could turn down shadows - but my point being I'm seeing no real improvements over my 1080TI (which I ran on high shadows) except I can now whit 80 FPS when not down low / over busy areas

 

I could not recommend the upgrade currently just for DCS

 

Good news is in diving sims I am seeing the improvement - so not a total waste of money

 

Any other suggestions on what he issue my be??

[2080TI Performance - this can't be right?]

Hi

 

After some advice

 

Just upgraded from a 1080TI to a 2080TI (other system in my sig)

 

Running

Vis range Med

Water High

Shadows High

AA x2

AF x8

 

PD @ 1.3

 

I did run the same settings with my 1080 except I had to have PD @ 1.2 but it was always smooth

 

Now with the 2080TI even at 1.3 I get an issue where the picture 'vibrates' when over a large city, down low, looking out to the side & down.... The issue is between a stutter and vibration of the picture

 

very frustrated as I was expecting for my £1200 to be able to easily run at PD 1.5

 

 

Did a clean install of driver

deleted the FXo and Shaders DIR

 

Am I expecting too much from the card and I should settle running at 1.2 PD :(

 

Any advice appreciated

 

Thank

Get it

 

Even with all the shortcomings it’s still my favourite

 

Just can’t love the hornet for some strange reason .... I have it with the supper carrier to support ED by I still fly the F16

 

Can’t wait for additional A-G weapons :)

[DCS World 2.5.6.50321 is too bright]

Is there a file we can edit while we wait for an official fix?

[Poor FPS in VR mode on Channel map]

Not sure. But for reference I have a 1080ti which has 11gb of VRAM.

 

 

same card with 11GB --- on the channel map it fills up and that's causing the stutter I'm sure

 

even with minimum preload there is still a stutter due to vram being full

 

must be a bug

[DCS World Patch Notes Discussion Thread]

Probably mentioned before but the forum name now needs to be updated form 2.5 to 2.6

[AMPCD difficulty]

They should change the font on the AMPCD to a font that has a black outline.

 

A font like this (but obviously smaller):

 

This would create the much needed contrast between lettering and the map itself.

 

You can do this by editing the stroke definitions - I’ll post details when at PC

Had the issue last night - hope they fix it soon

as at 25th April with the latest Beta at that date this is still an issue

Any chance for a version with just

[VR ball acquisition]

Would be nice to have an option to overlay the ball at the top left of the VR screen with a key depress - pref holding the button to see it

 

Using zoom disorientates IMO

[[CHECKING] Trouble firing second laser mav]

Here is more bizzar behaviour with the mav not locking onto the laser

testmav track.trk

[[CHECKING] Trouble firing second laser mav]

It happens every time for me if you turn the laser off between (via trigger switch) Mav shots

 

Will make a track later week if no others do it

[[CHECKING] Trouble firing second laser mav]

mnf1980 - will also try your method

 

either way looks like a bug

[[CHECKING] Trouble firing second laser mav]

I think its if you turn the laser off between firing the mavs

 

Gripes323 can you try firing mav 1...… turn the laser off (trigger button) then get a new target, trigger laser back on and see if it works for you

 

I just tried my mission leving the laser firing and I was able to fire both mavs

[[CHECKING] Trouble firing second laser mav]

Thanks for the vid

 

Yes second Mav in range and the triangle is also over the target, laser is on, think it also says locked

 

Will try again this morning - maybe it’s either the mission or something like switching the laser on and off or moving the tpod via waypoint designation - will track it down :)

[[CHECKING] Trouble firing second laser mav]

Vid would be helpful

[[CHECKING] Trouble firing second laser mav]

Yep code is the same

 

However also tried entering the code again

 

Still not seeing the laser

[[CHECKING] Trouble firing second laser mav]

Hi

 

I’m having trouble firing my second laser Mav

 

First Mav fires fine (and hits target) but second never gets a lock on the laser

 

Perhaps someone can try

 

My process

Turn on tpod and set the laser code (note first Mav is fine so all

Working ok)

Select the Mav

Select UFC to set the code (mirror the tpod)

Target designate my waypoint

Uncage the Mav

Trigger down to fire laser

Square appears on the Mav screen

Fire Mav

 

 

Repeat for the second Mav but it never sees the laser

 

Others having the same issue???

[Radar elevation and aircraft pitch]

Clearly you can move the radar antenna up and down and you can see the slice of sky (cake) you are searching (shown on the MFD radar cursor top and bottom at a given range)

 

My question is what happens when you pitch the plane up or down. Does the radar try to keep the radar searching the same bit of sky or would that move as your plane moves. Therefore the cursor MFD numbers are straight and level reference???
