I've noticed that whenever I come to reapply the shaders mod following an OB update, I clear down FXO but when I look in metashaders2, it is always already empty. Does it depend on module/terrain or something or am I missing something ? It seems to. It populates when I run A10C Instant action Summer medium.

speed-of-heat Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) you haven't actually needed to clear down metashaders2 or FXO for some time now... if you want to keep doing it , knock your self out (mine has loads of stuff in it)....

Just tried that mission with the A10C in VR. Still no metashaders2. "Medium - Georgian Foothills - Summer" right ? Anyways, I'm not experiencing any problems so perhaps I should just shut up and enjoy it while it lasts RYZEN 5900X | 32GB | ASUS Strix RTX3090 | 500GB NVMe OS 1000GB NVMe DCS | Warthog HOTAS | HP Reverb G2 | VA & ViacomPRO My DCS Apps: Radio KAOS for DCS KB Quick - Quick and Easy Kneeboards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWdope Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 9 hours ago, speed-of-heat said: not currently, i have no reason of making a variant of it for myself tbh... there are a number of NVG mods out there dcs nvg mods site:forums.eagle.ru - Bing Yeah, there are a few out there, but I have to say this one is definitely the best one. I don't really use the VR mod anymore because the longer loading times (in general not just after implementation) and loss of some visual features aren't worth the FPS gain on my high end rig, but id love to have the VR mod on its own. I have no idea of the amount of work it would require so honestly I don't know how big of an ask I making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did check that the new files are there and did rename terrain metacaches folders. Run with PD 1.2 and same graphic setup as OP. And what is strange is that that there is no new files in terrains metacache. I even tried to remove the old folder. And can load and fly missions. Shouldn't it generate new files in the Mods\terrains\???\misc\metacache\dcs folders? Edit: well it did something. Now I can go to PD 1.5 without any loss in FPS I'm new to this. And I don't see anywhere in the Install Instructions that I need to do this? Is this required?? Quote Install: - Backup your Bazar/shaders directory (but keep the files in place) - Extract files from this zip, overwriting the existing files - Run DCS World.

speed-of-heat Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 No, you should use OVGME or JGSME or MODMANFX to manage the application of mods.... other wise it will end poorly. in terms of initial start up time yes that will be slower, as will the first time a set of textures is used in a mission... terrain, aircraft, unit etc... at mission load SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel Corei7-12700KF @ 5.1/5.3p & 3.8e GHz, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Dell S2716DG, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I answered you on your other thread but will answer here too just for reference. Bloom can be turned on or off in \Bazar\shaders\deferred\_HMD.hlsl And make sure it's set to on within the game VR options too.

speed-of-heat Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) i havent deleted metashaders or fxo in nearly 6 months for an install... from the readme file (emphasis mine): Quote Install: - Backup your Bazar/shaders directory (but keep the files in place) - Extract files from this zip, overwriting the existing files - Run DCS World.

Uninstall: - Restore Bazar/shaders backup - Delete files from C:\Users\<user>\Saved Games\DCS\fxo and metashaders2 directories. Settings can be adjusted by editing 'Bazar\shaders\deferred\_HMD.hlsl' file with a text editor.

speed-of-heat Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 With the new version 2.7 of DCS coming, and I have no visibility into the code or timescales, so please take everything with a pinch of salt, however, it is very likely to make some substantial changes that could break this mod (and others). You will be faced with a choice until @Kegetysis able to fix the mod, stay on 2.5.6 and continue using the mod, or 2.7 and no mod. Actually this is true with every patch, but, we have been quite lucky with the most recent patches. just be patient. 1 SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel Corei7-12700KF @ 5.1/5.3p & 3.8e GHz, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Dell S2716DG, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
