Clarity in VR with and without Deferred Shading

[pagadi-zaiet]

The clarity without Deferred Shading in VR is way better so the frames. Unfortunately the trees look very bad! Cockpit colours look much more natural as well without deferred but indeed all objects on the ground look washed out. We need work done on the good old fashion pre-deferred to sort this issues out!

Indeed, there's currently a problem when deferred shading is disabled the graphics on the ground look horrendous.

Indeed, same observations here, also without VR.

Cockpits generally look much better without deferred shading,

and so the external views of the planes, in my opinion.

And also, with HDR, no deferred shading, the blending of the sun is much better.

The terrains of the Caucasus look much better with deferred shading,

though not necessarily those of Nevada...

I personally don't fly using my rift any more, the resolution isn' there in the current tech. Expecially with all the new eye candy that ED have produced for 2.5. Flying in 4k with everything maxed is way better that not being able to see stuff from Angels 15 when in the A10.

 

I do feel that the immersion factor with the rift though is second to none, roll on the next gen VR

 

My personal preference of course

I started play DCS because of VR, and could not turn to monitor in any case. I've tried, but it's another game, and I don't like it. Also, I've got no track-IR, so VR is my only way. Nevertheles, with standard VR settings + MSAA 2x the outside graphic in 2.5 is way better than 1.5.8, but something inside the cockpit is wrong. Maybe it's the lighting and shadows, but I could read the instruments better in 1.5.8 (and I play PD1, deferred shading on and MSAA 2x). Specially a-10c and ka-50 (the oldest modules, but also the most rewarding) have something "wrong". L-39 is better, for example. ED should do something to get these cockpits at least back to what they were in 1.5.8. I like all new planes and a more and more complex environment, but please do not forget older modules; they are still the most beautiful to fly and play with.

Have you tried VR in 2.5? I find it's clarity and ability to spot aircraft etc a great step on from 2.2 which itself was a step on from 1.5.8.

 

It's usability has definitely been improved.

I will be more than happy to ditch Deferred Shading if trees will be sorted!

Basically love the new 2.5 but it would be just great if it would look nice in VR without DS. DS makes the cockpit harder to read, it kills FPS and for me personally the worst thing is that you just cant run MSAA more than 2x and this flickering makes me more mad that framerates in the 30th - without stuttering that is - and on MSAA 4x it stutters really bad (and I´m running a GTX 1080 an a brand new K 8700).

 

Apart from that great work ED, that Kaukasus map is so nice and having all maps in one game is really neat!

hoping this problem will be sorted on official 2.5 release

Let’s hopeI INDEED.....
