3Dmigoto VR mod for DCS : Label masking, color enhancement, sharpen, FXAA, copy/paste of radio MSG,....

[lefuneste01]

I uploaded in first post the 5.0 version for DCS beta only.

 

It includes a new setup process for all settings (using setup menu), new sharpen option (external), new color setting process, control of reflection on cockpit glass (for the planes I own), night mode for harrier HUD and MFD. thanks for your feedback.

I'm probably being a bit slow, but exactly where would I find the new setup process? Is it somewhere inside DCS or is there an executable I need to run outside of DCS?

 

Prior to this release, i have been able to use the radio message copy/paste function and have managed to cycle through the various colour options, using the keyboard combinations. However, the sharpen function, again using the appropriate keyboard combination, does not appear to make any difference. I am possibly doing something wrong, but in case the preset settings for sharpen are all the same until they've been setup, getting into the setup menu would be good.

 

The radio message copy/paste is excellent by the way.

 

Edit: never mind, I found it thanks. It's amazing what you discover when you RTFM :)

I try to explained in the first post how to install the mod. Please report if something is not clear anough, it's a bit minimalist. Beware that the new version is the attached zip and for the beta only, the version for the stable will remain as it is untill the next DCS stable version.

 

 

Sharpen is not working with MSAA, maybe that's why you didn't see it ?

 

It's possible to have both, I just did not think that it will be usefull...See here : https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4312652&postcount=20

It's all good now thanks.

 

It was the LShift+F7 combo i hadn't seen, to bring the setup menu up and once I'd found that and figured out where in DCS i needed to be to activate it, the rest was pretty straightforward.

 

I already had MSAA turned off btw and I use openbeta, so had downloaded your latest version.

3Dmigoto VR mod for DCS : new zoom, label masking and Pimax Parallel Projection fix

So will the sharpen option (both internal and external) work for open beta also with this new version?

From the first post is not crystal clear if it will work only outside cockpit or both in the openbeta

@lefuneste:

 

Incredible god damm MOD, congratulations!!! Very Very impressed I am.

 

I tested sharpness filter, now applied to all screen,... so its incredible the clarity in VR. Now its like in IL2 !!! Even is easier spotting other aircraft.

 

This filter is the one I asked many times to ED. Finallly!!! Please ED, take into consideration to apply as a option, maybe consider to hire lefuneste, maybe could help a bit your engineers.

 

@lefuneste: it could be possible to add some helix 2WW planes mod (like you did in IL2 many yeasrs ago), just for remove the damm glitching produced by ASW or motionsmoothing?

 

Many thanks

Both. Now its crystal clear. Like in Il2.

I cant get this mod to work, just get a few d3d errors.

The last version is only for OB. I wont made any evolution to the version for stable, there are too much differences between the last version and the 3.2, now.

Check if installation is complete. Remove the mod and install it again.

i tried on the latest beta, installed with OVGME but i couldn't get any menus to appear LSHIFT-F7, it didnt crash either.

 

In your notes you mention

 

The mod for is not compatible with "cockpit illumination" and SSA and kegetys shader mod (for stable).

Kegetys compatibility : you must install the patch DCS VR kegetys shader for 3dmigoto over Kegetys shader mod, and then remove fxo and metashader in Saved game\DCS.openbeta dir.

 

is there a patch to kegetys shader mod that is seperate i couldnt find a link for it ?

Wasnt much in the way of installation that I saw, was just drop all the included files into the bin folder, right? Because I did that.

@Lefuneste:

 

Is there any options, editing file, just to remove the black halo of NVG view?

The zip file shoup be unzipped at the game install level. It contain files and dir that should be present in the same directory than DCS.exe. So check that all are right in place.

No, you will need to edit the shader. Why, is it something unrealistic ?

The mod is no more compatible with kegetys shader mod. It simply won't work. I will remove the text.

[speed-of-heat]

ah well thats simple then !

[Gryzor]

I only would like to remove the round black halo for NVG (it allows to see a bit better the instrument), or at least, to have that possibility. IMHO its quite bigger (at least, to my taste). Maybe editing some of your could decrease or remove it (I remember some modification many months ago, for other guys).

 

Appart of this, your mod is perfect, its like day-night how the external sharpness increase the image quality, also without a single frame hit in performance.

kind of, looked through a few over the years, never saw a boundary

[Digitalvole]

This looks great especially the sharpening, but am I right in thinking it only works on OB?

[lefuneste01]

I'm still a little bit disapointed because there is not so much people writing about copy/paste feature of radio messages. I think that is really a game changing feature if you play campaign in VR. I'm proud of it because it is so simple to use and helps a lot. Maybe it's because not all people tried it ?

For example, you can easilly convert MGRS coordinate by using it and the map coordinate cycle.

 

 

And yes, this version is for beta only. The stable does not support Pimax without parallel projection, so zoom feature are still needed. And also the setup menu for zoom...So it will be a lot of work to modify the mod for stable version, and this will be for this only version...

[Digitalvole]

Alas.

Still I’m excited to try this when 2.5.6 is fixed, thanks for creating it.

Now back to what DCS has taught me to do so well through repetition: Wait

:)

[aceviper]

Stunning work.

Game changer in VR.

Feels like my eyes have finally cleared in VR with a bump in perceived resolution and clarity.

Immersion factor went up a notch.

ED needs to get on board with some of this.

 

Once again thanks and congrats for this brilliant VR mod:thumbup:

You are right this is something should be by default in dcs.

Or they could implement a feature that when you are an important radio message (for example coordinates or radio frequencies) then it appears in the kneeboard.

I add that this feature is not only useful in VR but also in 2d when you don’t have something to write on

[lefuneste01]

I just discovered that shader used for AV8B cockpit glass are not the same for the two quick missions "ready on the ramp" and "weapon practice" !!!

I'll fix it, but it may be the same for the other planes. So if cockpit reflects are not reduced/disabled, please post a track...
