Personally I use Taz1004 version of the shaders and 3dmigoto 11.4, works pretty good for me flying fighters, getting 72 fps for Quest 2 most of the time. There are some issues with CBUs though, it looks like it's fixed in 3dmigoto v12. Edited January 4, 2022 by Fiztex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Sorry to jump on this thread and ask some obvious questions for many of you. I exclusively play VR on a Quest 2, with the latest stable version. 2.7.9 if I recall correctly. I would of course benefit from a few more FPS, but my main issue is the terrain, which is way too bright while my cockpit is too dark. Changing the gamma slider doesn't resolve the issue since I must choose between terrain and cockpit readability. Could a shader mod prove beneficial for my issue ? Can you pinpoint me to the correct package to DL ? Thank you all for your help Edited January 9, 2022 by pixie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This mod doesn't darken terrain. However, you can edit a lua file to achieve that if you're sure nothing's broken and you still want to change it. /Mods/terrains/Caucasus/shadingOptions/Caucasus.lua gamma setting on Line 7. Lowering it would only darken terrain surface. You would have to do this to each terrain.

From my point of view, game should be tuned for lowest fps (of course without saturation linked to too many units). I used fraps, it work also in VR, and use 30s delay (as soon as OK button is pressed in game) to get min/med/max fps numbers.

Sorry I don't completely understand; - You mean to try with and without the shader mod I am currently using (2.7.9.17830 Taz's version)? - With and without your Migoto mod? (which version, please supply link and settings?) - You do a full repair before each MOD installation and test? (including clearing the shader folders?) - You say 'game should be tuned for lowest fps', but I always tune for highest FPS? - I am using fpsVR to record FPS and CPU and GPU Framerate data, while running a benchmark trackfile and calculate averages. This should also give a similar outcome I guess.

(which version, please supply link and settings?) => do not take care about my mod, it may only add questions. If you are using it, just rename d3d11.dll into d3d11.dll.old for the testing, it will disable it without having to uninstall it - You do a full repair before each MOD installation and test? (including clearing the shader folders?) => just before testing the version without shader mod (vanilla game) - You say 'game should be tuned for lowest fps', but I always tune for highest FPS? => for me the idea is to have the best fps in worst game condition, so things should be tuned for that. I do not cate to have 90 fps in 80% of time if I have 20 fps in 20% of time. I prefer to ne able to have at least 60 or 30 fps in all condition, because game experience will be ALWAYS fluid. - I am using fpsVR to record FPS and CPU and GPU Framerate data, while running a benchmark trackfile and calculate averages. This should also give a similar outcome I guess. => do it as you know it, the only thing is you should have same time period for your record (if you compare a 1s record with a 3 mins record for the same track ypu will not have same results).

As to which is better visually thats a matter for the observer, and I'm not sticking my sensitive parts in that bed of razors, as its hard to get really objective data about that sort of subjective information. Personally, I'm leaving towards Simplex, as it doesnt have the "up front" cost and delivers very similar perf. HTH On 12/28/2021 at 7:16 AM, Taz1004 said: Thanks for that test. Always wondered the performance difference but don't have the benchmarking tools. Obvious difference between Simplex and Kegety's is IC. So if IC is important, then there's really no choice. Another reason for using original Kegety's over Simplex is for its features. I first modified the haze and realized it required recompile anyway. And to me, Haze is worth the up front cost. So I decided to use the original. And there are other features Simplex removes like Albedo texture sharpening, NVG scope adjustment, etc. Below is difference between Simplex and Kegety's only. No other mods. I'm not biased over one or the other. Both are great options. Just providing information for people to make right choice. Taz1004 is technically correct. The idea with SIMPLEX is exactly what the name suggests.... simple and uncomplicated. It tries to be as close to "stock" as possible in all aspects, while delivering most of the noticeable performance benefits of Kegetys' shaders. With no slow loading of missions. No noticeable impact in image quality compared to stock. And no I.C. issues for Multiplayer. Of course, that also means some of the modified niceties/features are left out, such as clear water, or Albedo texture sharpening, or NVG scope adjustment, etc, because all of those cause the extremely annoying slow loading upon any new mission, and can easily break I.C. for Multiplayer, unfortunately. Albeit a bit compromised, SIMPLEX works as intended and is good for everybody, with 2D or VR, in SP or MP. And that's it. Although there are (small) performance gains with latest 2.7 versions with these shader mods, unfortunately the very high GPU usage and VRAM consumption with decent quality settings is still impossible to fix with any of these mods (and I'm not even using VR) - that one is on ED developers hands. So, until I can afford one of the latest high end GPUs (which now, more than ever, seem really necessary, but at outrageous prices), I'm not going to further update SIMPLEX shaders for latest versions. I'm done with 2.7 and its performance B.S. FWIW, I got back to DCS 2.5.6 and not regretting it one bit - also using a respective SIMPLEX version for it - got 30% GPU usage improvement (!!) while using graphics settings and smoother performance that, honestly, I could only dream of with these newer 2.7 versions!

Did you try 2.7.9? I feel like it brought back the performance lost with first introduction of 2.7, so I don't think there's a reason to keep 2.5.6 anymore, unless maybe pushing older modules to the limits while ignoring clouds.

Although I must say you made me curious so I'll try out 2.5.6 too for a comparison sake, maybe make a helicopter version out of it Yep, of course I did. It's somewhat closer to 2.7.6 performance, maybe slighty better but, for me, still utterly terrible, as has been with whatever version of DCS 2.7. With whatever 2.7 version, with moderate settings and 60fps locked, my GPU (RX5700XT 8GB) works at 99%~100% usage, temps get overly hot, and VRAM consumption (actual real usage, not allocated) reaching and often surpassing the 8GB VRAM limit on it (F-14 A&B and Syria, for example). Version 2.5.6 is the last version that the game worked ok for me, much happier now after returning to it - better perfomance and also gained in eye-candy, as I can pump a few settings a little more too (nicer overall image, plus no ugly canopy baked reflections). The Caucasus looks just as nice with few mods done: https://imgur.com/a/2KZgvXv/all (even feeling tempted to update the CGTC mod again) I don't care about newest fancy clouds, water reflections or fire/explosions, if that means rendering the game unusable for me after so much invested in modules/maps.

Version 2.5.6 is the last version that the game worked ok for me, and much happier after returning to it - better perfomance and also gained in eye-candy (nicer overall image), as I can pump a few settings a little more too. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Shxx41WoyiVsTArAVlGxXoSwM7UKMWss?usp=sharing Even feeling tempted to update the CGTC mod for Caucasus (for both 2.56 and 2.7). I don't care about fancy clouds, water reflections or fire/explosion effects, if that means rendering the game unusable for me after so much invested in modules/maps. Yes, I'm testing 2.5.6 now and already can see that performance is better comparing to 2.7.9, especially with kegetys VR shaders for 2.5.6. The difference allows to set msaa 4x and PD 1.1 when 2.7.9 allow only msaa 2x and PD 1.0 with the same other settings. If only I had 3dmigoto for it, it would be great, I'd be using it for low level flying where I don't care much about clouds, otherwise the haze is just crazy. Do you have 3dmigoto for it by chance? EDIT: managed to reduce haze by studying Taz1004 shaders, apparently it's all in one line in atmosphere.hlsl: return color*transmittance + inscatterColor * gAtmIntensity * 0.5; //Taz1004 Haze Add 0.5 multiplier for any version of kegetys shaders in this line and that's done, no need for 3dmigoto for that. Now I need to kill these horrible static reflections in some cockpits and it's pretty much ready to play Edited January 19, 2022 by Fiztex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmuss Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 If you turn off the simple glass shader in hmd.hlsl on kegetys shader mod it gets rid of the static cockpit reflections. I've noticed no significant loss of performance because of it.
