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

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Thanks. Let me give it a check

 

"cockpit illumination"  - off

"lens effect" - none

SSAA - off

 

files and directories copied to openbeta\bin

 

the line "hunting = 2" is on d3dx.ini

 

Lauch V2.7 OpenBeta, Instant Action, F/A-18C, Free Flight. Once in cockpit, click "Fly" and then turn Active Pause On, try Num0, LShift-F7 and LAlt+F9. Find nothing on both Quest2 screen nor PC screen.

 

Thanks again for your kind attention.

Hello,

Theorically, if the mod is working, you should have the green lines as soon as you are in "game" and press numpad 0, as shown blow.

 

 

You should also have a file d3d11_log.txt in the same directory than the mod and DCS.exe, with a date modified beeing the last game usage. Can you post it (if you have it) ?

If you don't have it, well that means the mod is not called, and that will be very stange if all the files are in the right place.

Do you have a steam install or did you put the game in "program file" dir ?

Mine uses Oculus app for VR.  May I ask if SteamVR is a must?

It's not linked with steamVR, 3dmigoto is at first developped for 3dvision.

But if you use an oculus app to launch DCS it may have side effects, like current directory seen from the game (maybe)...Could you try to launch DCS "normally" ?

You can also try in 2d and see if green lines would appear...

Oh, I mean I do not use SteamVR, nor I launch it from the Oculus app. I use DCS Launcher and Updater….

 

I see the green text now! Thanks!

 

It seems to work only when I run DCS.EXE in Administrator mode.

 

LShift+F7 still does not work but it seems that LAlt+F12 loads the ini file.

 

Can I just change the d3dx.ini?

Hello,

 

So there are three options :

1) your graphics settings are not supported by the mod

2) the mission context is creating issue with the mod

3) you have other mods installed  that create issues.

 

So in order to check 1) and 2) can you

• backup your options.lua file in Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config 
• replace it by mine (joined)
• launch instant action / su25T/free flight...

menu should appears

 

options.lua

Thanks for keep following up.

 

I have done as told, I get nothing now hitting Num0, nor LShift+F7 nor LAlt+F12...

You should at least still have the green lines when pressing NUM 0, as before because the change is only in game config, not in mod config...

I see. Let me clear and repair the DCS OB directory and try again.

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

It works! I see the green menu on screen now!

Fine, so you can try the different options of the mod.

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Sure! Thanks for the follow-ups

Hi there! This mod is great! I really miss my clear canopy with no reflections (for all planes) from the kegetys mod though. Does anyone happen to know if there are any clear canopy mods that work in conjunction with this mod? 

 

Thanks!

The mod allow to tune (and also suppress) reflection in cockpit. Is it not working for you ? It should work for A10C, AV8B, Ka50, UH1-H, and maybe other planes.

Hi there! 

It worked for the Ka50, but not for any of my other modules (Spitfire, F15, etc.)

Thanks! 

PS thank you very much for this mod, you did excellent work!

I will add support for FC3 planes and some others I own. But as I do not have the Spitfire, it will be hard to do it, or you will have to follow some instructions to provide me the dumped shader.

Great instructions, here you go! Let me know if you need anything else or if there's any problem with the file.

ok, it's for the Spit cockpit glass ?

It is quite different than other planes...Did you have all canopy glass pink (and only it) when you dumped it ?

Yes it's for the Spitfire, and yes, all the canopy glass (and I think some of the gauges) was pink. Nothing else was pink. Feel free to send me a demo if you want me to test it before implementing it in your main mod. Thanks again for doing this, I'm excited!

Can you try this one ?

Sure. Just to be sure, I need to put that file in bin/Shaderfixes after activating the mod?

yes, and before launching the game, of course.

Hi Lefuneste,

 

I put the file in the Shaderfixes folder and activated the mod in OVGME so it was copied to the bin directory. I deactivated all other mods first just to be safe.

 

I tried it first in the Ka-50 to make sure everything was properly installed. In the Ka-50, I was able to adjust the reflection of the cockpit from completely transparent (+0.000) to almost a mirror (+8.000). When I got in the Spitfire and tried the same method, it did not make any difference. +0.000 was the same as +8.000 in the cockpit reflections. So I think there is still something that is not quite right. If there's anything I can do to help you troubleshoot, please let me know. However, I know this is only one plane and you don't even own it, so I understand if you want to don't want to spend time on this.

 

Thanks very much for your efforts so far, and the mod itself!
