VR Update - March 2016

[=DECOY=]

Not seeing any fps improvements here with 1.5.4. I am noticing terrible vegetation ghosting at low altitude though where it appears to pop in and out and leave ghosted remnants of itself as it does. Very distracting.

 

 

 

What's setting are you using.

[=DECOY=]

These are the setting i use to get a solid 90fps, my pc spec is in my sig

Turning it off will not increase performance, it's simply a copy of what's being rendered in the left eye of the rift.

Bit of a tangential question, but the mirror frame buffer looks quite pixellated and isn't warped. I suspect it's being un-warped after the gpu renders it and cropped down. Has anyone ever heard of a way to stop the unwarping and cropping? It would be better to watch that way :) might add it to the VR wish list.

Thanks for performance optimizations in recent update! I am playing on constant 90fps now.

 

Here is me flying L-39 in HTC Vive:

 

whats your computer spec?

did u update to 1.5.4 with mods installed?

im going to update mine soon, but i have to remember to uninstalling my mods, update DCS and reinstall the mods..

 

or at least, i think thats how its supposed to work..

Try and Re-Enable Aero Interface,

When I turn it off, all it does is disable hw acceleration on windowed mode windows, DCS included.

90FPS? Even in Multiplayer missions?

[=DECOY=]

Yep. So far I have had a couple of dips in mp.

 

But 99% of the time it's 90fps

Dat's a hellagood hw combo...what's your Oculus pixel density?

[KLR Rico]

Ah, no shadows... that'll do it. They are by far the biggest FPS killer for me. I just refuse to turn them off because I think the cockpit shadows are a huge immersion factor. I wish I could turn off all the other shadows to get the FPS back.

im going to go home after work and start messing around with DCS and CV1 again.. i been reading about the latest update issues, would it be better to uninstall DCS, delete remaining folders, then reinstalll DCS, and re map all my controllers if i want to get up to the latest 1.5.4 DCS

To be honest I have got the no tree shadows which makes a big difference

I used the fix someone mentioned. (The vr change in lua file) and it's been perfect ever since. But the difference in fps between 1.5.3 and 1.5.4 are massive...... I mean 10 fps easy and no lag or jagged edges in the distance

 

I promise if your try 1.5.4 you won't use 1 5.3 until it receives the same update.

 

It's simply a new game

 

 

Here is a screens hope of the fix

[=DECOY=]

Ps the fix allowed me to change settings without the menu disappearing

I have discovered some oddness in planes without clickable cockpits. It seems that if we want to turn off the mouselook from within the cockpit we then loose that function in external views as well. This is not the best way to do it, in my opinion.

 

The two features should not be mutually exclusive. I want to keep my mouselook-with-zoom for external views but I don't want it in planes without clickable cockpits.

[SkateZilla]

LALT+C?

[DerekSpeare]

LALT+C?

 

Works like a champ - I didn't know this was possible to turn it off. Thank you! It would be cool in the future to have the cockpit mouselook feature to OFF and external cams to ON if that can happen.

How do you turn off just tree and ground shadows? They look horrible anyway and are all flickery and blocky and not realistic anyway. If they save fps then that's even better. The cockpit shadows for me are a must though. I don't recall seeing an option to just turn off ground and tree shadows.

it's not turning it off parsey, it's switching from mouse controlling camera to mouse controlling cursor for clicking panels, which isnt used in FC3 Aircraft.

You will not ... you'll drop below 45 fps and you'll have ghosting... even with two 1080 in SLI and a 5ghz CPU. :)

 

If you aren't convinced... please you post a video of 10 minutes in a MP server (in example on the 104th), from when you start in the hangar to when you are in the air where you do 99% of the times 90 fps. Thanks.

 

PS: yes you can have 90fps in single player.. you can have it even with a 980.. until zillions objects are rendered and your whole machine will put to rest. ;)

LOL thank you for the insight into my own PC and DCS performance, as you clearly know my set up better then me.

 

I cant check MP on say the 104th as its not on 1.5.4..... BUT you should know that as the EXPERT in these matters. however i will post a video of our own dedicated server with 15 members using the target range later....

 

JUST FOR YOU.
