dburne Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I will also add in my case, I was pleasantly surprised by the performance I am getting using the Rift. Better than what I had anticipated, even in DCS 1.5 Flying the Spit take off mission, I have AA set to 8x and AS set to 16x, with sliders midway to 2/3 to right for some, and get constant 90 fps whilst flying. It goes to 45 fps ( ASW ) during takeoff and landing, but it still is very smooth. No stutters at all. I have civil traffic set to off, water set to medium, and of course no HDR , no DOF, and mirrors off. Going to have to fly 2.0 some later today to compare it as well.

dburne Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hey dumb question guys, So I have not yet setup DCS 2.0 to run in the Rift yet, so I wanted to go in and do so. So I launch DCS 2.0, then it launches the Rift and is already displayed in the Rift. However I have no cursor control at all and no way to get into the settings menu to set it up for the Rift. I have to control-alt-del and close out DCS 2.0 with Task Manager. How the heck can I get in there to set 2.0 to use Rift if it keeps starting up in the Rift?

Sandman1330 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If you use numlock 5 to centre, then inside the rift you should be able to see the menu. Alt enter to go full screen, then using the cursor, look at the selections and click the mouse to select. Go to settings, VR, then select use mouse. Should get you started!

ro4dhog Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Software developers who optimize their game for VR, utilizing multi-core, multi-GPU, and multi-projection will allow us to experience highly detailed worlds without sacrificing performance. The current Hardware milestones were needed to benchmark today's games and simulations. Now that we are here in VR, the doors are open for Software developers to engage these new worlds. New techniques will need to be discovered and implemented in order to balance the VR environment. It must be crazy for developers to realize their long-time efforts easily translated into the VR world, with only minor tweaks to bring their simulation to life. Some techniques, like water reflections, were 'faked' and could not be perceived on a flat monitor, but were quickly apparent 'under the hood' (in VR) due to 3D stereoscopic viewing. DCS World in Virtual Reality is worth every penny I spent on my CV1 and currently provides the best Multiplayer Combat Simulation experience available. i7-6700K (4.7ghz) / GTX 1080 WC / Oculus CV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Just received mine today, and of course the questions are piling up. I did some searching here and on the net but couldn't find anything concerning: - Is it normal that my normal monitor is also still showing DCS while on the Rift? Doesn't this consume resources? - I expected the field of view to be wider. Is there a setting which regulates this?

deanbrh Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 1) Yes, it's normal and no it doesn't consume resources it's a mirror of your left eye 2) Me too, but you stop noticing it once you stop paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Hey gang, I am still experimenting and tweaking both my DCS graphics and the Pixel Density to get the best overall experience. I am curious what you guys think about ASW? Do you tweak yours to try and maintain the 90 fps, or do you give it a little more and are happy with the 45fps ( ASW )? Oftentimes I will be at the 45 fps while taking off or landing on the runway, and get to the 90 fps when up in the air. I can't say I personally really see a difference between the two, so I am thinking maybe as long as I can maintain the 45 fps all around and it run smooth I should be good? This might allow me to give a little more graphics settings to it. And regarding the pixel density, I have tried all the way between 1.2 and 1.9 and not sure I can really see the difference in that either, at least in image quality.

Cibit Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I too am still adjusting settings, I dropped down to 1.3 PD in 2.0 and get 45 steady even flying over Vegas, it drops when the dust rises as I land though. I keep tweaking though and keep testing. I hope once I upgrade to a Kaby Lake I will get to ramp up more settings i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and Trigen what MOBO are you using For the mobo i got a Asus z170 gaming pro. All this is on DCS 2. (on SSD) Tested with Mustang and Huey, A10 and such are probably more demanding and require less graphics (Edit, did some testing pretty steady 45, slight drops, 90 outside city) Im running 1.3 on the pixel density and i use a reduced shadow draw range mod. These settings are on the limit and it drops to 40ish for a instant if i turn hard over the cities so i usually turn depth of field and lens effects. Then its 99% solid. Not a chance to use these settings on the Vive, it would be a judder mess. Ill have a look at the shadows vs AA and see how that affects things Edited January 18, 2017 by trigen 1080 ti, i7700k 5ghz, 16gb 3600 cl14 ddr4 oc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigen Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I just tested some with PD 2.0, pretty nice and clear (45 city, 90 outside) but ASW starts kicking in when you turn fast over the city, outside it should be just fine with that and 8xAA in the Mustang. Amazing performance for DCS, Kudos to the developers. To anyone on the fence about vive or rift, rift hands down, there is no comparison. No motion sickness in VR but hell i get it outside now haha. 1080 ti, i7700k 5ghz, 16gb 3600 cl14 ddr4 oc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibit Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 One other thing I found is having pre load to max helps with loading stutters where applicable and also full clutter has no fps impact over no clutter that I find. I also struggle to see the difference in terrain textures from low to high visually though I can see the FPS hit. This testing of mine is also directly related to 2.0. I find 1.5.5 a horse of a different colour:) i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we will see the merge into 2.5 before too much longer...
