Seeing double

[Damocles]

I've just been flying the F86 over Nevada, Quick mission, Intercept, when I noticed the cacti where not quite aligned (Ghosting), producing a double image. I then looked around further and I think the other aircraft flying about me where the same, which might be why they always look so blurry and indistinct. My cockpit meanwhile is perfectly normal with no ghost imaging that I can detect at all. Airfield buildings and roads/runways meanwhile also looked, from what I could tell, to be perfectly normal.

 

 

Win 10, 64 bit

 

GTX 970, Driver 368.22

 

Oculus Rift

me too , ( rift CV1 )

 

its only when other aircraft are moving quickly I assumed the pixel switching is not fast enough

but happy to be corrected

 

roll on 144hz VR screens

 

PS anyone know better please post here

Either your Rift isnt Calibrated, or your GPU is Being throttled and causing Low FPS.

Maybe, I'm no expert, but !

 

 

Nevada,

 

Cockpit and player aircraft (F2) are Ok, no ghosting.

 

Terrain textures seem Ok, no ghosting.

 

Should I be getting the same, or similar, FPS in both versions ?

 

 

 

 

 

Cacti and buildings and I think other objects such as AI aircraft ( I've only tested over airfield) ghosting.

 

In game FPS counter displays a steady 57-63 FPS.

 

 

Caucasus,

 

Solid 90 FPS, No issues, no ghosting, at all.

 

Both versions use the same graphics settings.

Really? I got almost the same spec as you. In fact I have a I7-6700k. And Caucasus is nowhere near stable 90 FPS - more like fluctuating between 50 - 90 causing constant stutters. Care to share your settings?

[alieneye]

I`m having the same issue with ghosting when flying low and looking around (clearly visible on trees and buidings).

 

Also I have ghosting in cockpit while MOVING head from left to right for example. But no ghosting and pretty smooth when I ROTATE my head.

 

Tried LOW settings - almost the same thing

 

UPDATE: removed capping FPS line from autoexec.cfg (it was set to 60) in CAUCASUS - no ghosting!

hi , how do we remove this line ?

 

I'll give it a try,

 

I thought it was pixel switching of the rifts display

[hansangb]

It's in: C:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg

 

if you haven't touched anything, the file may not be there. go to the CONFIG directory (for example C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Config)

 

and look at graphifcs_readme.txt for more info.

[alieneye]

I put that line in autoexec.cfg before I got the Rift, so there was no capping FPS line by default.

 

In DCS 2.0 we don`t have VSync checkbox anymore and I don`t know how to remove FPS capping if it`s still there

hi

 

I read the below but either of those files did not exist in the locations specified in the readme , frustrating

 

Sorry if I sound thick

 

Any idea how I can do this ?? I to get the double vision ( thought it was a limitation of the cv1. :...not the docs software glitches )

 

Help appreciated

-----------------------

 

 

ld graphics.cfg is gone and replaced with graphics.lua.

However, please, do not edit this file directly.

Otherwise you'll lose your changes after each update.

 

New method for overriding options is to create (or edit) a file

 

C:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg

 

or

 

C:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\edModelViewer\Config\autoexec.cfg

 

(for model viewer)

 

and place your changes there.

Note:

- autoexec.cfg settings will override the options set via GUI.

- Graphic options in autoexec.cfg should be prefixed with options.graphics.

- file encoding should be UTF-8 without BOM

 

Example autoexec.cfg:

 

options.graphics.maxfps = 30

options.graphics.render3D = false

options.graphics.ScreenshotQuality = 75

-- add custom texture path

-- note the slashes!

table.insert(options.graphics.VFSTexturePaths, "c:/Users/<LOGIN>/Saved Games/DCS/MyTextures")

 

 

 

Happy gaming!

Ps I am still using version 1.5.xx. Of DCS not version 2.0

[hansangb]

Create the file C:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg

 

Using Notepad++ or Ultraedit (former is free, latter is not free). Or for this file, you can use notepad but not wordpad.

 

Copy the options you'd like to change from the GRAPHICS.CFG (I pointed out where it is) and put them into autoexec.cfg.

[alieneye]

So, I`m getting doubling (ghosting) only when fps is less than 90

 

But in DCS 2 fps is locked to 60.

 

How to unlock it?

options.graphics.maxfps = 90 is not working

[SkateZilla]

Maybe it's locked to your Monitor's VSYNC or Frame Rate Limiter Control in Driver or Overclocking App.

[alieneye]

I tried to turn off VSync in NVIDIA Control Panel but it`s still locked to 60

 

No fps lock in DCS 1.5 on the same computer so when I`m getting 90 fps the image is really smooth and no ghosting

[adrianstealth]

[SkateZilla]

C:\Users\<Username>\Saved Games\DCS.<Install>\Config\Autoexec.cfg

 

options.graphics.maxfps = xx

 

<Username> = Your Windows Username

<Install> = Which Ever DCS Install you are looking to edit (usually DCS/DCS.OpenBeta/DCS.OpenAlpha)

 

xx = FPS

 

This file does NOT exist by itself and has to be set by the user, so it's not set, then it's not the source.

 

Default Max FPS is I believe 180 For both 1.5.X and 2.0.x

 

If it's capped then it's being Capped by a Driver Setting, or Frame Rate Control option in an External Program

(Overclocking programs that come with AIB Cards, nVidia Inspector Profiles, recording Software etc.)

[alieneye]

I tried put "options.graphics.maxfps = 90" in autoexec.cfg, but it`s not going over 60, just stuck at solid 60 (checked using in-game counter or Oculus Debug meter)

 

I had "options.graphics.maxfps = 60", because i was playing on monitor

 

I`ll try to make a repair tonight and we`ll see

 

P.S. Just curious, why did ED remove VSync option from the game settings?

[adrianstealth]

Hiya

 

Big thanks for reply/trying to help

But there is no Autoexec.cfg. in those locations or any of the other locations I looked

Which included all the eagle dynamics folders, obviously checked the locations as mentioned in your post and earlier in this thread first,

 

Read the readme and it said I had to create it so I simply copied the graphics file but that line does not exist in there so I was wasting my time, checked but double vision still there

 

Frustrating

[adrianstealth]

Ne nice if DCS devs could update so this problem goes away as most people don't visit forums let alone want to go into files etc

 

 

( I don't mind bit it simply isn't there )

[adrianstealth]

found it in graphics.lua :

 

 

DebugColoredTexture = 0;

ScreenshotQuality = 90;

ScreenshotExt = "jpg";

FogParam1 = 6;

FogParam2 = 1.1;

PilotNames = false;

maxfps = 180;

render3D = true;

cockpitOnly = false;

treesVisibility = 1500;

sync = false;

DistanceFactorDefaultFovy=90;

 

 

 

only in

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config

[SkateZilla]

Do not edit that file ^

DCS isnt limiting your FPS, something else is.

[adrianstealth]

Don't know what

 

Maybe something in oculus runtimes ?

Can't seem to find anything that could be

But I see double

 

Pain now I know I can get rid of it but can not find how

 

Nothing in NVIDIA control panel re.fps limiting

 

I don't see double in anything else

[SkateZilla]

Disable VR in DCS, close, relaunch play amission on your monitor, see if its still limited to 60 fps.
