Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

Hi, people!

Can somebody explain is it possible to adjust head turning speed or sensivity, like with TrackIr? I mean, that it is really difficult to turn my head at 180 degrees during dogfights, my neck is under pressure...

 

You're in a VR cockpit now with all the physical restrictions that comes with it. Can't you just deal with it like real pilots do?

Not forgetting real pilots are also strapped in tightly and under G. Both of which restrict movement further, balanced against being provided with grab handles to pull themselves around.

So true. When I fly on my gliding club's humble Ask13, the straps are so tight that looking back is virtually impossible.

Greetings, looking for some advice, I have i7-4790K not OC'd. Would any of these cards work decently (keep 45 FPS) with the Rift: Vega 56, Vega 64 (nitro+) or RTX 2070? With high settings (but not very high or ultra), low shadows and reduced trees. I'm looking for guestimates or if you happen to have the same combo...

[DeltaMike]

I can maintain 45fps with shadows off, vis range medium. Currently running PD 1.2 and msaa2. Gotta undervolt which is easy with latest crimson driver.

As others have said. No.

 

But what you can do is intelligent use of the recenter button if it is that much of an issue for you.

 

Look to 3 o’clock. Recenter. Looks to 9 o’clock. Congratulations - you’re now looking behind you.

 

Look forwards. Recenter.

Looking at my 6 on VR is very hard for me too, but I like it.

 

The problem is when you have a dogfight with someone using TrackIr :pilotfly:

They are just sitting at a remote drone operating station though. Everything out of VR is just simlite, in my opinion.

For me, having a bandit in close whether they were on my 6 or about to merge... VR gave me the most tactical awareness possible. I was able to swing my head around, glance at SA page, flip my head around. I think what helps is that you know that natural position of where that aircraft will be since VR is a 1:1 scale. Problem was, target identity. I was chasing a blurry pixel. It just didn't look good and that broke immersion for me. Or, mid fight i needed to feel around for a button that I could not see.

 

With TrackIR I think it is easier to lose exactly where that bandit is in relation to your head movements.Since you're making small movements vs real. Obviously, having used TIR now for over a decade I've gotten pretty good at it, but it can still be a challenge. Also, I dont need to feel around for a control, I can glance in my Simpit and switch a radio in SRS pretty easily and things just look a whole lot better; but its a screen, which breaks that immersion, too.

 

Both offer advantages - but I think VR wins in a in-close dog fight.

Does anyone here use the rift with an RTX 2070?

 

Intrigued to see how it holds up!

Hi,

I am using a RTX 2080 coming from a Gforce GTX 1070. I had massive judder studder screentearing, especially online. Never reaching 90FPS (without ASW). With ASW I got ghosting when objects move fast.

 

 

Upgraded my GPU cause I thought the 1070 ist pretty often running at 100% load. BUT it did not help a bit. Online and offline -> nearly same troubles.

 

 

 

Overclocked my CPU and setted my RAM to the correct speed @ Bios.

 

 

Offline it gets a lot better (running without ASW)

Online -> same bad FPS drops, screen tearing,....

 

 

-- SOLUTION --

 

In the last instance I tried different NIC-drivers for my Intel NIC (original ones from the intelsite, not the one from the mainboardvendor).

Switched off IPv6 and QoS in the NIC-settings.

(unsure at the moment if it was the nicdriver, or the settings -> but it is running for me!)

 

 

 

Now running at 90FPS online

 

 

 

 

 

AMD Ryzen 7 @ 4Ghz, 32GB RAM, SSD, Gforce RTX 2080 8GB.

Hi guys. I have a CV1 with an 1080ti. The colors in DCS are washed, I want to rise a little the saturation but I don’t know how to do this.

 

Is there any guide or can you tell me how to change the color settings?

 

Thank you.

 

 

Killing time in the bathroom, honey bring me some matches...fewwwwww.

I'm using a 980m... A 2070 should be fine.

Yeah I do, works fine on pretty high settings.

[arturojgt]

Hi guys. Is there any mods to improve the black level during night in the current OB?

 

I used a mura effect fix but it seems that is not working right now.

 

Any suggestions?

There is, I think Alerax did it. Look for RGB Mod. Don't know if it still works.

Hey everyone,

 

Earlier we mentioned that we have been working on DCS VR optimization. I have good news today! After much investigation and work, we traced the issue back to the terrain engine. We have since adjusted the terrain engine, and this has resulted in a 50% increase in VR performance! We will continue to test and optimize this further, but we hope to have this great improvement to you soon.

 

Thanks

Holy shizballs!

That is awesome, thank you so much for the update!

Can't wait to see this implemented!!!

Looking forward to finally getting some good Campaign flying with the Spit over Normandy in VR!

 

Thank you!

50%, bloody hell, that's awesome.

Thumbs up to whichever team member found that one.

With new VR headsets coming out soon, the next few months onward is going to be fun!!

No reason not to go with high res/high FOV at this point! :thumbup:

Wait are you telling us that this is already coming?in the next open beta releases?

Thanks Wags

That would certainly be nice, in any event I hope when it is implemented and included in an update they state so clearly so we know if an update has it.
