fitness88 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Well those who said you have to try it only once to know...where absolutely correct. It really is amazing. Now I'm just tweaking a bit to keep it around 90fps. Quit to desktop and re-launch is the only way I can get back to a new flight or get into the options window. If I press any other option the window buttons don't respond. How do you end a flight and go back to fly again without having go to go to desktop first? Thank you.
Scooternutz Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 You may have to move your task bar to the side or go to full screen (ALT-ENTER). [sIGPIC]https://drive.google.com/file/d/16rUBmmJR7A3YGZVGPGskxG1XtvulGojJ/view?usp=sharing[/sIGPIC]
fitness88 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 I can see the quit button when I select that option, it's there but the quit button does not respond just like the fly again button option is also not responsive. My only option is to quit to desktop and start again.
fitness88 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 Is the latest Rift refresh rate 90hertz or 70hertz, no point trying for 90FPS if it's only 70hertz?
Torso Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 So to be clear, when you hit esc, you see the menu option. As you mouse over the menu, the only one that lets you click it is "Quit to desktop" any other option, including the "Quit" right above quit to desktop does not seem to register the mouse click but the white dot cursor is there and moveable?
fitness88 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 You may have to move your task bar to the side or go to full screen (ALT-ENTER). Thanks Scooternutz; I tried doing both what you suggested and both did the job but I was able to leave my taskbar alone and just do ALT-ENTER. I thought checking off the in game option to use full screen was enough but what then is ALT-ENTER?Also now that I'm flying 3D I see all the trees look flat, what's that all about? Is there a way to adjust the Oculus image the way you would your desktop with either settings in Oculus and/or the Nvidia card settings to make it brighter for example? I notice that I was getting FPS mostly either 90 or 45 FPS then I enabled V-sync and it mainly holds now at 90 I've tweaked both Nvidia and DCS graphic settings...that's a work in progress. Is there a setting to lower the HUD. I like sitting a bit higher so I can see out better but I lose the top of the HUD.
dburne Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I thought checking off the in game option to use full screen was enough but what then is ALT-ENTER? To get true full screen you have to do the ALT-ENTER. No idea why it is currently this way - it has been this way since the initial 1.5 launch. But yes it does solve all of those not being able to click certain things issues. I notice that I was getting FPS mostly either 90 or 45 FPS then I enabled V-sync and it mainly holds now at 90 That is Oculus ASW, to increase the visual appearance when framerates drop below 90 fps. It will then run at 45 fps kind of blending everything in at 45 fps to give a smooth experience.

To your first point, do I have to enable both the full screen option in game and then hit ALT-LAUNCH once the sim has loaded? I like most have tested different graphic options to find that optimal setting between performance and picture quality. What I have found is that picture quality will max out with a minimal of graphic settings compared to my screens which with every option you can see a difference. As discussed, we are buying into the 3D immersion experience and with that performance is the focus first... Aurora R6, i7 7700k @ 4,4 Ghz, 16gig mem, GTX-1080, SSD Edited March 5, 2017 by fitness88

No, it matters not what you have set in the GUI - pressing ALT+ENTER will enable true dedicated full screen.

What I have found is that picture quality will max out with a minimal of graphic settings compared to my screens which with every option you can see a difference. As discussed, we are buying into the 3D immersion experience and with that performance is the focus first... That has been pretty much my findings as well, at a certain point any graphical option increased you just can not tell any difference in what you see.

flask Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 If you have not tried it get off your seat and walk till you are outside the aircraft, they are all from the outside as well as the inside a work of art, if in multiplayer and the airbase is busy I get out and just watch them taxi and take off and do flybys, what's my favourite cockpit ? they all are, and as far as the non click pits? I'm sure( just spitballing) that DCS are well aware how good those aircraft look, in VR and ? ;)

I'm sure( just spitballing) that DCS are well aware how good those aircraft look, in VR and ? ;) You are so right...I like doing the F2 or F3 and watch the fly-by or F4 looking at the back end of the Mig or F-15, you would swear you were looking at a real aircraft. It's not just the aircrafts that look so great, what I don't understand is how come the aircrafts handle so much better. For example, I used to have problems with the F-15 take-off & landings, nose wheel swerving all over, now it's much more controllable as well as all aspects of flight and flying formation.
Astronut Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 It's because you are now flying the aircraft like a pilot, with the same viewpoint, visual cues and depth perception. You can't replicate that on a flat screen.

You can't replicate that on a flat screen. Depth perception is key.

I still haven't re-configured my controls or flown a single combat mission other than a couple of instant action dogfight missions in DCS since getting a Vive a couple weeks ago. I just can't pull myself away from flying to take the time to get everything setup.
