Spitfire/Mustang - Gyro gunsight problem with prop and ASW (a solution!)

[RoyMi6]

I did a little investiging the other day.

 

Turns out the problem with ASW and the gyro gunsight weirdness (like the video below) is related to the prop.

 

 

I don't think I've seen this pointed out before. I had even just assumed it was the fine lines of the gyro sight, or it's position in 3D space, that was causing the issue but when I sat in my spitfire on the tarmac the other day I noticed that it wasn't wiggling around... it was fine...

 

It was only when I started the engine, and even then, only when it changed from a 3D model to a rotating texture did it start having the problem.

 

So what's the fix? A lucky google search brought me to this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=179040

 

Half way through the thread "Tyger" creates a mod (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2306815/) that simplifies the textures for the prop in an effort to get better frame rates.

 

I think if we create a "empty/blank" texture for the prop it will solve all our problems!

 

I've reached out to him in the hope that he's interested in helping to create the textures. I've had a quick look at this original mod but there's more than just a simple "prop texture" to work with so I'm not sure as the best way to approach creating it.

 

If he's interested in helping hopefully we'll get a solution - failing that I'll endeavour to create one if no one else steps up to the plate to help out!

 

Ninja Edit: Turns out he's created other VR mods! https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?CREATED_BY=Tyger&set_filter=Y

 

Fingers crossed he can help :)

Good that you've found the solution though, instead of getting old while waiting for ED to fix this.

Ah, I had missed those in the bug reports! I'm not on here a lot so not familiar where everything goes!

 

Oh well, we have a solution - just needs to be implemented! :D

Some people have the same problems on IL2Bos, another solution was to make a 3dmigoto mod (https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/30556-3dmigoto-mod-vr/) to allow disabling propeller when needed. But I do not think that it should work for the Rift with DCS, as it does not use SteamVR...
