You can turn smoothing on down to 22fps. It can be set to lock to 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 of the refresh rate in steps

I'm currently getting loads of visual artifacts with the openxr smoothing but others have reported to have none so it might be something unique to my machine.

Currently I can run fast enough to not need to rely on smoothing but then I've not got the Apache

 

 

What is the difference between smoothing and reprojection ? Is the diplay frequency tuned down or just the image updated only every xx frame  ?

[edmuss]

Smoothing = reprojection, just my bad habit of mixing terminology

If below refresh rate then openxr holds the frame till most up to date tracking data is available, then releases it.  Essentially unless you're above refresh rate then you're softlocked to half refresh. If you cant sustain half refresh then you're softlocked to third refresh, so on and so forth.

How/where is this accomplished ?

Set motion reprojection to always on/enabled in the openxr dev toolkit.

Use the ingame openxrtoolkit menu to set the reprojection rate to unlocked/45/30/22.

As I've said in the discord channel I get really bad bubbly artifacts with openxr reprojection but I don't know if that's specific to my machine because other people have used it ok.

I did notice that last night. It was really noticeable flying fast and low near the water.

Another thing I was curious about is if there's a way to get the MWR UI to come up or was that a SteamVR thing only?

Si c'est ce mod

Bonjour, oui c'est celui-ci. Je le teste depuis plusieurs jours et ils sont très réactifs et pour moi cela fonctionne beaucoup mieux qu'avec SVR( Le problème de recentrage a été résolu. Pour la reprojection je ne sais pas je ne l'utilise pas).

Oui pas d'urgence et il y a d'autres solutions pour copier/coller des coordonnées mais je trouve votre système très bien et je pense que cela pourrait être un bon petit mod indépendant pour ce qui ne veulent pas trop faire de modifications et quand même avoir cette solution pour la VR.

En tous les cas super boulot, merci.

[lefuneste01]

New version 15.0 available for 2.7.10.19473 Stable and 2.7.11.21408.1 Open beta :

• compatibility with last OB
• option to hide AH64 rotor

It takes me more time than expected, I had some issue with the copy/paste feature...

As usual, I did not take too much time to test...So report any issue here.

@Jekel: I'd have a look later to see if something can be done for the compatility with OpenXR mod...

did you do try the troubleshooting guide in first post ?

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Yes, cleaning stuff up at the time of posting. Will report back. Yup, conflict with a shader mod

@Jekel : here is an experimental version compatible with the OpenXR mod: https://www.mediafire.com/file/o518d7n2kly0mjs/3DmigotoDCS_VR_15.0_openXR.zip/file

In order to use it :

1) uninstall the normal mod (if you still have it installed)

2) install the v15 for OpenXR

3) go to [DCS_install]\bin\3dmigoto

4) launch 3DMigoto Loader.exe => a MSDOS windows will open

5) launch DCS

I put in \bin\3dmigoto my d3dx_user.ini, to avoid an empty menu. You may overwrite it with yours.

I'm perhaps being a little stoopid, but what is the correct folder structure for this to work? Looking at the original mod PDF help file it seems that the "Replacement Textures" "Shader Cache" etc folders should be under "<DCS Install DIR>\bin"  if I use this structure with this version of the MOD I get an OCC error. However, if I just unzip the archive and activate via OVGME (and keep the structure), the loader never registers the fact it has successfully injected.

I dis what is written above and it worked for me...How did you know it was not injected ? The MSDOS windows did not close ?

[dureiken]

Hi

is that possible to disable all effects except CBU shader optimization ?

 

thanks

So the folders in the bin directory? The command prompt windows just kept saying:

even once DCS was at the main menu. I do have the TAZ Shaders (Kegetys derivative loaded) for  2.7.11.21408.1 pehaps this is the issue. I will try without. So just to confirm, all of the folders in the archive should be in the BIN directory as per your previous releases? Ignore the path in the screenshot I ran it from the archive just to capture the message.

Hi Lefuneste, after testing during the past week, I pass to you some shaders line updated (really, de-selected) that really doesn´t hurt fps in VR or 2D. With comments. For your next update.

Just toggle them off in menu...All things can be activated or de activated by the setup menu.

Once launched, the loader is waiting for dcs.exe...I do not understand why it did not find it launched...

But anyway, you should have unzipped all the archive before lauching the loader for the target directory. Then launch DCS.exe...How did you launch it by the way?

The screenshot with the loader running from the archive was just for illustration. I unzipped the archive into the bin directory. Well I actually used ovgme. What is the correct folder structure?

The one provided, which is compatible with JSGME..It doesnt really matter where you put it, as soon as the dll  are not in the same directoy than OpenXR mod.

OK, many thanks. I'll remove Taz version of Kegetys mod and try again. I would have expected the loader to detect DCS though. I'll also try running the loader with elevated privs, as DCS is running as admin.

 

Update

So the issue was the loader process needed to be run as admin as DCS was running as admin

Did you try Alt+F8 to activate sharpen or alt+f7 to go to another page than sharpen option  ?
