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

[heloguy]

Unrelated question, but is it possible to have an option to change the color of the NVGs?    For example, the default Russian NVGs are white.   There are many units in the US military that use white phosphorus goggles too.   There are actually quite a few different colors out there, but white and green are the most common.

I'll have a look on it.

here is a first alpha version (steamVR only) of the mod for testing : https://www.mediafire.com/file/9d96uy3it8bjg7j/3DmigotoDCS_VR_18.0a.zip/file

Only option like color, sharpen, label masking, copy/paste message are working.

Glass reflection, rotor disabling, fps optimization are to be done.

If you want to use it wiht OpenXR, just overwrite the content of bin/3dmigoto with the files, it should work. But as I have worst fps with OpenXR than with steamVR, it maybe not a good option, due to fps loss of 2.8.

Thanks for your feedback.

I find PS for flat shadows (all maps), also AH-64 rotor disable. If I can help... I copy for you:

No, the mod is totally broken again. I'll need some time to fix it as most shaders seems modified...Be patient 

Thank you so much for your hard work on this mod. Without your 'hide rotor' mod the AH-64 rotors are a wobbly janky motion reproduction mess in VR for me! Fingers crossed you can get it to play nice with 2.8. It's only when something stops working that you realise how much you miss it! Not to put pressure on you – sure you have a life outside of modding! Thanks.

I've tried it, but haven't seen a noticeable difference. What % you recommend?

I use now OpenXR Sharpness 65% & Color Saturation on 55%, looks better than default, but for sure look way worse than 3Dmigoto mod, that why very waiting this mod.

Thank you very much for your hard job, you doing great work for DCS VR users 

Just want ask -> you realy have worst fps with OpenXR than with steamVR? I thought OpenXR always work better than SteamVR!

I have worse fps with the AH64. I can not say this is general, but my feeling is less in worst case, so when every fps is critical, and also more reprojection time. Moreover I use fpsVR to toggle manually reprojection on/off in  game, to avoid cases when you go to reprojection because you are at 59 fps. This is not possible to do the same with WMR/openXR,

2022/10/31 : stable and OB 2.8.0.32066 => version 18.0b :

• compatibility with OB 2.8.0.32066, reflection fix not implemented for most aircraft, NS430 not tested

I had to finish all reflexion for plane that's some work I'll wait to see if an hotfix may come. AH64 and Mi24 rotor and glass reflexion are OK.

Just now testing, not work for me on OpenXR  In game I can open menu change settings, but visually nothing changing.

I was check Sharpness internal, external: Color saturation internal, external. Actually I was testing all may settings from old 3Dmigoto, nothing happened. And then I was test your last soft with default settings and than change Sharpness and Colors, but also nothing change.

At first try color change and set external factor to zero, it will allow you to check if globally masking and color change are working. If not, do trouble shooting guide.

I was tested settings from default settings, try to change colors and sharpness, but nothing change (not working). Can you please tell me how to do trouble shooting guide? And can someone else agree this version work it, or this problem is just for me?

Hi Lefuneste, I noticed some glitches in FPS shaders about smoke bomb-cbu reduction, so I disabled from d3dx.ini: smoke is view in VR only in one eye. I copy them:

I Think 2.8 has broke VR i see no gains or better quality in the game engine . Lots of shimmer now and bad reflections . 

Sharpen is at 20% I've seen some people drop it down to 0% try it i don't think you need to restart VR headset to get the effects . 

Still testing . Was online last night WWII server and I couldn't spot again .

Thanks. These one are painfull to detect and test, so I did it in 2d. I'll have a deeper look anyway, you may have difference between eye but not one eye rendering. Anyway, you can disable smoke optimisation by setting option to 1 instead 2.

Exactly, some difference between to eyes is normal, but with these two shaders, rendering only occours in L eye. I prefer having smoke optimization switched on.

[heloguy]

Tested the alpha and also noticed NVG optimization is not working anymore.   Seems to have no affect on the default NVGs.

@Gryzor I did not see one eye smoke in my CBU track. So I let all things as they are.

Thanks for that.  And, thanks for your work.  Your implementation of NVGs on previous builds is definitely the most realistic.  It baffles me that it isn't standard to ED's build.

Is there any new about Internal, External Sharpness and Color Saturation. For me look like work only Hide Rottor option on AH64! Maybe for others all work, and than better i need reinstall game?

Sorry, I did not see your previous answer. If color change is not working, ypu have an install or configuration issue. Troubleshooting guide is joined on first post of the thread (at the bottom)
