Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

[Svsmokey]

I'll give those a try. I have tried default vr settings as well as med and low. They all hover around 40. What is the deal with the graphics twitching. Items in the cockpit seem to be on drugs and move around.like a latch on the canopy.

 

That sounds like a tracking issue . Not enough light , not enough objects or wall delineation . The headset cameras have to have objects to see to track against . A blank wall , for example , is of no help to tracking .

I have had DCS for a long time but just getting back into it. I recently got the Rift S and while it is good the graphics "at least for me " do not see to be on par with the discussions I read. I had a gtx 980 and just upgraded to the radeon 5700 xt. I am getting pretty much the exact FPS and jitter issues as I did with the 980. Fairly new and still reading/trying tweaks but so far I can fly for more than 10 minutes due to the lack of detail/jitter.

 

My system

i7 5820k @ 4.3

32 gb ram

ssd drive for dcs install

Radeon 5700 xt 8gb

 

Oculus rift s.

 

980 40 or so fps

5700 xt 40 or so fps

 

both have jitters in cockpit, some texters "like rivets" and such

 

Kinda hard to know how amd cards will do in dcs. There's a theory that it correlates with the number of texture mapping units. Pound for pound Nvidia seems to leave amd in the dust. But you can make up for it with tmus. So a Vegas 56 is weaker on paper than a 1080, but it has over 200 tmus so maybe that's why it can keep up in dcs. Your card has only 160 tmus like the 1080 so it may struggle to keep up. Should be playable, just don't count on a lot of eye candy.

 

40fps is a perfectly good target

 

Pull up the Oculus tray tool and check out your CPU and GPU render times. If either one of those is >25 you'll get stutters. Some stutters are due to GPU setting too high, eg trying to push pd and Msaa at the same time. But the CPU can also cause stutters, like when you spawn into a busy airport. Let us know what those numbers look like.

 

But I can already tell ya, turn off Msaa, get your PD as low as you can stand it, vis range medium, trees 60%, turn off shadows. That's probably what you're looking at.

Thanks been working and tweaking settings as I have time. Been working a ton. I ended up deleting the entire user config folder and relaunching, started off on low and so forth. I finally got rid of that weird twitching movement in the cockpit and when i turned my head. It seems to be running a tad smoother but as of yet i am still limited to 10 minutes free flight before i feel a bit funny and have to take the headset off. As for the card it is shocking that I tested 6800x1080 everything on high and got 45 fps but medium to low in rift gets the same fps

oh yeah i'm like over a hundred in pancake mode. 2 different kettles of fish

 

a lot of us are dying to know what you come up with. what settings are you running currently?

Has anyone done the Su-25 Dogfight (1v1) mission in the Rift CV1?

 

It takes place over a city in PG - and I've been reading all sorts of comments about poor performance when low over PG cities.

 

I ask because I had zero issues at all in VR whilst flying down to just below the roofs of the highest blocks in the city (I actually won the dogfight when I chased the enemy Su-25 down and he flew into a block).

 

I was surprised at how smooth it was, considering the comments and my relatively medium-specced rig. I'd been avoiding flying PG since I bought it a few months back, due to the comments. Was going to try once I'd overclocked my RTX2060 - but no need, it seems.

[Johnny Dioxin]

I've no idea what the exact location is (the city), but it has some very remarkable features:

 

 

 

Persian Gulf hasn't had any VR performance updates, I think, so I'm even more astounded that things ran so smoothly.

The Caucasus & PG maps are the only maps to have been updated with the VR improvements.

[Sandman1330]

That’s Dubai :)

[Johnny Dioxin]

In that case, the tweaks must be working very well! I've changed nothing from my usual settings for VR.

 

Be interesting to see how it runs on my Index, too, but I think this is possibly the best and smoothest scenery I've seen in my Rift CV1.

 

Looks like I'll be flying a lot more in PG, then.

Tried to use the S today and the mouse green cross is not there it is in the Index and the Rift ??

You get the white dot to use things like coms menu options etc. but, not the green cross needed to use switches

Disregard turned out that for some reason use controllers got checked unchecked works. "DOH"

This is a bug been reported awhile back, I guess still not fixed.

My performance in today's patch has dropped big time. I'm hitting the 30s and a lot of stuttering. I've only tried the Hornet so far and yes I deleted the shader folders. Anyone else having issues?

Yes pimp, I’ve noticed a degradation too. I only fly A10C, so I can’t comment on other modules. I haven’t got any FPS data but things aren’t running smooth at all on my usual settings. It was much better before. And I’m getting full-blown stutters, which I’ve never had before. Boo!

This must have been asked a 1000 times, but I wasn't able to find the answer :helpsmilie:

 

Is there a way to get the DCS run in full screen on my monitor while in VR?

 

Now it's centered view and only using like 1/3 of my screen. Lately I've had some troubles with accidentally clicking on the border of the screen (looking down in VR and trying to flip that one little switch), which results in DCS not being my active screen and me activating all kind of programs on my desktop :doh:

[Rocky49]

Left Alt and Enter should do it, brings up full screen.

I found Voiceattack (~10USD) has a command 'max window' that defeats the windows problem that alt-tab out of dcs windows restores DCS screen Alt-Enter.

 

Stays maxed.

anybody here upgrade from riftcv1 to the rift s... is the resolution improvement even noticable in DCS

Yes I did back in May, and am pleased with the increase in clarity.

[Lensman]

Yes, I did just that. It was a remarkable increase in clarity and detail for me, even with zero super sampling.

Great to lose the tracking cameras and much more comfy to wear in my opinion.:thumbup:

HP Reverb, new level of sharp, software worse, sharpness degrade outside rather small center spot, $$$.

The only 'proper functioning' VR is that 6000$ one, that your grandchild can buy, if he has a job, if the world still exists, but heh, those are just details.

Im a VR User since the DK2 release,had the CV1 from Release and the Rift S.The HP Reverb, is a nearly perfect VR Experience in my opinion with a 2080Ti. The Software is not Plug&Play like Oculus home,but not bad and works fine. I dosen't need another HMD for the next three years

 

It's a Dream to fly DCS with this HMD,because it's so real.

Using the Oculus Rift. Do you also need "steam VR" running to play DCS

[wrl11]

No. Only the Oculus Home running.

Just picked up the oculus s I have owned 2 cv1s in the past very happy with improvements e..t.c

 

Any quick tips on setup compared to the cv1 I know I should go look and search lol but any major differences I should be aware of with the oculus s.

 

Thank you jamie.

You should be able to pretty much run the same settings as you were with the CV1. Should be able to lower the PD some. On my rig I am running pretty high settings with 1.2 PD and 4x MSAA.
