Pixel Density

[Kariyann71]

Hello everybody,

what is the best way, increase Pixel Density in SteamVR application or use the Pixel Density adjustement in the VR settings of DCS ?

Are you using Oculus Rift? If so - I actually prefer to use the Oculus Tray Tool to set the PD.

 

Oculus Tray Tool

I'm using the ACER AH101 Windos Mixed Reality Headset

I myself will always use a PD or SS setting if available in the game, otherwise I use in my case the Oculus Tray Tool ( Rift ).

After testing the 4 ASW options as posted https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=218202 #19 I then took a look at my PD which I had at 1.5. I tried bringing it down to 1.2 with hardly noticeable change then finally to 1.0 with a slight change but not enough to outweigh the big jump in performance. So now I'll see about trying MSAA and SSAA, I seem to recall it was hard on performance.

Any input on these would be appreciated, also I was wondering about the option 'Motion Blur' as if we don't have enough...

SSAA will not work with VR.

MSAA - I personally run with 2x and prefer that.

Thanks, I'll check the performance hit...did you notice much?

I think Motion Blur don’t work in VR.

 

Is personal taste, but I prefer to turn up the PD (I do it in DCS) and turn down MSAA. And I recommend the Shaders Mod, amazing performance improvement. Sad it fail the IC for most of multiplayer servers.

Up to about 1.4, not too bad. With 2x MSAA it looks pretty good to me.

SO, if you set them in both the game and OTT, does one overrule the other?

MSAA at 2x is a bit of a hit, which I could afford but don't notice enough improvement to leave it on. The same with PD, I can leave it at 1.5 but don't see enough improvement over 1.2 to leave it on.

Of course playing single player is a much better overall experience than jumping into a m-player scenario with 10+ players.

Yep agree, single player is all I do.

When I used to fly another sim, Jane's, I only flew MP missions and it was great. With DCS I do a mix of both. I must say though it's really fantastic when you fly with someone on a good connection. I miss not flying more with others but I'm too spiritic as to my times when I fly.

 

 

What I really miss is Hyper Lobby...that was what really enabled pilots to fly with each other quite easily with no planning...it was a 24 hr ready room

Wouldn't it be a big bonus for the multi-player community to have HL work with DCS...I can always dream...

It was also great for live chat as well!
