VR: MONITOR DISPLAY

[papiuno]

Sorry if this question has already been answered. I have not found in this forum yet

 

 

When I play DCS in VR, I like to record videos /FRAPS) on the monitor. Unfortunately, the display is in a vertical 9x16 window, instead of 16x9 . I think I know the reason, but how can I get a simple 16x9 display?

 

In FS2, VR setting menu offers the possibility to display the native view

 

Thanks for helping

If you are using the Rift, you can launch the Oculus Mirror found in the Installation Directory and capture that. Has a bit lower quality but at least it's 16:9 and at least worth 720p

Many thanks for your help

there are exe parameters you can use to toggle the Mirror to 1080p or to enable Left and Right Eyes as well..

In fact, what I said before was not completely true. I can record, but not always, not systematically. Sometimes, I do not understand why, the mirror 16/9 oculus windows kind of takes over, but the game freezes. I mean the game in its 9/16 window. So, I move the pointer back in the 9/16 oculus window, and the sim works again, but I cannot record what is displayed in the mirror window in this situation. So I put the pointer back in this mirror 16/9 window, but the game freezes again. I do that several times, and, suddenly, for a reason which I'm unable to identify, everything works. I am in the game, and in the mirror window. So I can fly and record. People behind my shoulders can watch what I see in my Oculus headset.

I use FRAPS.

I make something wrong, but what? Again thanks friends for helping me

 

And thank you SkateZilla. Could you tell me step by step how to proceed to toggle the Mirror to 1080, and so on? I'm lost.

you can't turn off the DCS mirror, try Alt & Enter to expand it full screen an set FRAPS or OBS etc to record that

 

alternately if using the Oculus Mirror tool as in that vid you linked then go to the shortcut icon right click it, select properties, on the target line after the .exe enter a space then add the following -height1079 -width1919,

so will look like "bla:\bla\bla\oculusmirror.exe" -height1079 - width1919 this will expand the oculus mirror window to almost full screen
