Hi,

I can't seem to save the changes in with alt + f12. I'm also not able to edit and save other settingss file like the ones in vr perfkit from fHolger when it is in the dcs/bin folder. I have to copy the file to desktop, make the changes and then copy it back in. (i've tried to change status on the folder and I constantly get asked for administrator confirmation while doing this. Might this have anything to do with it?

hell, that's windows behaviour, you are not supposed to modify things in program files. You can try to launch DCS as administrator, it should allow you to save settings.

at a guess you have installed DCS in C:\program files or similar, move it elsewhere

Yea, thanks for the tip! I didn’t think about doing that. Doing it now.

Windows by default protects applications from writing to the program files directory… I always install anything I want to mod to x:\Games to avoid that kind of issue.

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

It may be some mod I have been using, but in the latest OB and the 13.1 version, I cannot use LSHIFT+F7 to show the config menu no more. So I am unsure if this works anymore.

So I did a clean&repair, and install the 3DMiGoto first, the menu showed okay, then I install the rest of the mods and lastly the "DCS VR Shaders mod for 2.7.9.17830",  the menu showed up no more.

I did not install OpenVR_FSR or ReShade. I guess I have do another clearn&repair then find out why by elimination.

Any help is very much appreciated.

[speed-of-heat]

The latest version is 13.1.1 and left shift F7 is still working 

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

I know, if I just install this mod, it works alright but I dunno which other mod has conflict with it. Thanks anyway.

Do not use the "DCS VR Shaders mod for 2.7.9.17830", it is not supported anymore. Instead use the "Simplex" version of it (as written in first post).

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Sorry, always get myself confused. May I ask where this "Simplex" shader would be?

Thanks for the link in the first post.

Thanks to @Sl1ck , who provided me the two joined tracks, I identified some new shaders that are saturating GPU.

I included the fix in the d3dx.ini below, can some of you try it and report for any side effects ?

To test, just replace the d3dx.ini in the game installation (where dcs.exe is) by the one joined here.

I'll add the fix in the next mod release (I want to add also a control for NVG grain).

 

d3dx.ini 68.57 kB · 16 downloads bombs.trk 49.58 kB · 5 downloads cannon.trk 32.49 kB · 5 downloads

Hi there, is this included in the latest version now linked? (13.1.1)? Or do I still need to add this manually? 

Thanks!

Nope. I'll push soon the next version with them in it, and a control of noise for NVG.

02/06/2022: version 14.0 for 2.7.9.17830 stable and 2.7.10.18996 Open beta

• new option to control NVG noise
• new shaders fixes for bombs and A10C guns fps drops

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

May I ask where the settings are saved to? I wish to back them up in case I do a clean&repair down the road.

Oh, just that, overlooked.  Thanks big time!

 

[Taterbootz]

Loving 14.0.  How do you change the noise in the NVG's?  Right now it seems like its off (which is something I was struggling trying to modify Kegety's mod to try and get...couldnt stop getting hot pixels that just increased as time went on to where the NVG's were useless), but I'd like to mess around with how much I want to have or if I just like it with no noise at all.

 Strange problem : horizon turned dark, have I done something wrong?

[speed-of-heat]

Looks like you reduced the atomospheric haze too much

Hi,

I'm a novice in VR...what do you mean by move it elsewhere?...

windows protects the program files directories with a virtual file system, that throws away changes made to it, this protects against malware, as a result most modern programs make changes in the user space away from program files, either saved games or app data what have you.   as a result if DCS is in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS any changes made are lost after the session finishes.  

To get around this install DCS into C:\Games\Eagle Dynamics\DCS  or similar and then it should work fine.

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Should I turn off/not use any FXAA?

[speed-of-heat]

if you don't have MSAA turned on, then FXAA will help with some of the Jaggies
