Situational awareness in multiplayer

[sskacy]

Do those of you that play online feel that you can spot other players in the air well enough to compete in multiplayer when using the Rift or the Vive?

I believe I've answered my own question. I've been testing back and forth between my Rift and my 50" 4k TV. It's MUCH easier to spot other aircraft on the TV when the resolution is set to 1920x1080 verus 3840x2160, even when the terrain is in the background. Using a low pixel density helps with the Rift, but not nearly as much as using a low resolution on my TV.

How do you do that? I've tried 1440 or 1080 and it goes into a small window mode even if I select full screen. I can force it to go full screen by ALT ENTER but then I can't select anything on the menu.

I think he sets his output to HDTV to 1080P vs 4K?

Have you tried unplugging your Rift or Vive before starting DCS?

I don't have them. Just a regular TV

I would play with the remote for your TV and see if there's a "stretch" mode or something like that.
