DCS support for VR?

[mytai01]

I've read peoples​ descriptions​ of how nice VR is in other games and how poor the visibility is in DCS World, especially at distances. Everyone has advice on how to improve the situation, but none of it does much good. The immersion is fantastic, but this issue with poor sharpness seems to need addressing by the developers. A response from them would be nice.

 

Thank you,

It's really hard to develop a better resolution when you VR headset is limited. I have the HTC Vive and I have found a great setting. Use the pixel density to highest 2.4 in Vive and then set DCS pixel density to 1.0

This setting has given my a way better sharpness then relying on DCS VR pixel boost.

Frame rate is still top, flying with 45 -90

You can't get more pixels than the headset can display, the approach has been to make things bigger than the maths and field of view should really have them, but a first attempt of model enlargement was dropped from the live build. There are labels. Essentially VR is what it is right now and the resolution limit is much talked about.

And while you're at it, have them make HD screens get 4K resolution... ;)

 

There are some tricks with pixel density, but at a cost of performance, that will increase picture clarity some. I haven't noticed any improvement above 1,5.

Resolution in VR is what it is, currently. It will probably improve in future iterations.

The poor resolution is due to hardware limitations: an nVidia spokesperson has said repeatedly that VR takes 7x the computing power than rendering something on a regular monitor.

 

I have a Rift CV1 myself, and of course a higher resolution and higher FOV would be preferable, but that would need a quantum leap of computing power ahead of what is currently available.
