Hippo Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I just wanted to thank you again for creating this mod, and for continuing to keep it updated. I am still getting a 25% - 30% fps improvement on my system.

Nealius Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Can anyone confirm that this mod does not work with the A-10C? Recently I've been flying the Hog a lot in VR and that's been the one thing keeping me from trying out this mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) I noticed it's for an older Open Beta version though...is anyone running this on 2.5.4.30386? Works for me. Any issues I've ever had were caused by my not following the installation instructions carefully enough. I now use a batch file for this, since I reapply every time there's an update to DCSW. This works without issue for me every time. xcopy Bazar "D:\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar"\ /E /Y del "D:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Caucasus\misc\metacache\dcs\*.*" /Q del "D:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Nevada\misc\metacache\dcs\*.*" /Q del "D:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Normandy\misc\metacache\dcs\*.*" /Q del "D:\Users\<user_name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\fxo\*.*" /Q del "D:\Users\<user_name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\metashaders\*.*" /Q del "D:\Users\<user_name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\metashaders2\*.*" /Q D:\DCS World OpenBeta\ is my DCS installation folder. Bazar is the mod folder source. D:\Users\<user_name>\ will most likely be different for you. When the shaders are deleted, it can easily take up to 5 minutes for the game to load into a mission. Even though it looks as it the game has crashed, this is normal, just wait and the mission will eventually load. This only happens once (per terrain?). Files are deleted / overwritten, so I always keep a backup just in case.

Nealius Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Well, after 45 minutes of waiting for the shaders to load, I found that they do not play nicely with fog/dust. I have a mission with dust visibility set to 9000ft, which looks perfect without the shaders mod, but with the shaders mod the dust obscures everything, even the inside of the cockpit.

Yes, the fact is that this mod is a compromise. I personally don't use it as there are too many visual artefacts and degradations for very little benefit to me. Still, it's good that we have it, as a lot of other people get a benefit from it.

Hippo Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 after 45 minutes of waiting (..)dust obscures everything Dust (yikes!) - I had NEVER tried this setting before, so wasn't aware of this problem. I do get some glitches, but am prepared to live with them for the 25%+ fps improvement I get. 45 minutes ?! I've never been anywhere close to that. In your shoes, I'd be concerned that something is not correctly configured on my system... imacken's post is spot on. My top two priorities for VR are MSAAx4 AND >= 90fps. The mod enables this for me (simple missions with most eye-candy off). I suspect that it is the AA part of the mod that is doing most of the heavy lifting for me, it's unfortunate that you can't just pick and choose the bits you want (or can you?).

Nealius Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I can live without MSAA, but it's the shadows and weather (like fog, dust) that I can't live without. Apparently, by some twisted logic, DCS shadows are CPU bound and not GPU bound, so unless I overclock or upgrade to an i7 I'm pretty much stuck.

JoeyJoJoJunior Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Just don't copy the model folder. Didn't work for me. I was able to get it going by adding the following lines at the top of two files: .../Bazar/shaders/model/functions/glass.hlsl #include "functions/aorms.hlsl" .../Bazar/shaders/model/functions/ambient_occlusion.hlsl #include "functions/structs.hlsl" edit: Spoke to soon.

modda Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I got it working by doing the following two steps after installing the VR mod - I've only tested for the F-14 and the F-18 Revert file to original Bazar\shaders\model\functions\glass.hlsl Edit includes at the top Bazar\shaders\model\mirror_material.fx #include "common/textures.hlsl" #include "common/uniforms.hlsl" #include "functions/vertex_shader.hlsl" #include "functions/matParams.hlsl" #include "functions/impostor.hlsl" #include "common/shader_macroses.hlsl" #include "common/states.hlsl" #include "common/states11.hlsl" #include "functions/structs.hlsl" #include "functions/vt_utils.hlsl" That being said, the 2.5.5 update actually increased the performance on my system, the stuttering I usually experience was totally gone.

modda Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) There were even more changes needed since last OB 2.5.5.32299. I've updated the dependencies in the Kegetys vr mod and it seems to be working at least on F/A-18, F-14B, Mig-21bis, M2000 Mirage, P-51D and A-10C. I haven't tested what the FPS impact really is from vanilla DCS. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1psMHQEFVNy26B6nnYHnwoEYxNclQBzOH EDIT: No doubt, with this mod I'm on pretty steady 45fps downtown Dubai at low altitude (some drops occurs when touching the streets). Without it it's more steady 30-35 with high's at 45.

DarkClown Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Tested this with my PiMax 5K+. Really helped FPS on the deck of the carrier. I'm running 150x SS and couldn't hold 45 (Brain warp on). Sitting at the start of the Caucus cold start carrier mission. After applying this mod I was able to hold 45 no problem. I did need to make this change in _HMD.hlsl: #define MASKSIZE 0.590f This got rid of almost all of the masking for the PiMax in Normal FOV. @modda is there a way to make the mask more oval to better mach wide FOV headsets? increasing to .59 meant the top and bottom had less masking than needed.
