AfterBurner/Rivatuner

[Dangermouseb51]

Playing with stat and trying to get Rivatuner to display various stats inside VR...

 

I think I've set it up correctly but pressing my shortcut toggle key does nothing to bring up stats.

 

Any guides or helpers appreciated

Unless I'm misunderstanding your post, Afterburner doesn't work in VR. What you need is the very excellent fpsVR available on Steam for a few pounds. An indispensable tool that most VR users use for monitoring DCS fps and frame times.

Thanks guys,

 

So toutenglisse reading that post Afterburner overlay did work through OTT until the recent patch, and imacken, looked at that app might hit the button on it as it’s cheap.....

 

Thanks

I hit the button on Steam for FPSVR but I cant get the overlay to show ingame … Its shows in steam VR and I can toggle on/off..

 

Can you confirm you have it working in DCS latest build ..

 

Thanks

Yes, works fine in DCS. Are you sure you just don’t have it hidden? There is a toggle to show/hide it in VR.

No Joy

 

Cant seem to get it to work in DCS it does work and toggle in SteamVR…

 

I have it bound to :

 

Position, If Controller is On - Follow the Bottom Position

Position, If Controller is OFF - Attach to HMD

 

Other Overlays - Off

 

Anywhere else I need to check/set..

 

Thanks Jim

A quick question … are you launching the Steam version of the game ?

Are you sure you have the 'Hide Overlay' set OK in the fpsVR tab in Settings? Are you also sure you don't have your controllers on? I set both positions to 'Attch to HMD'.

 

I'm not running the Steam version of DCS.

Imacken,

 

I’ve checked and I’ve got Hide Overlay set Ok, I’ve changed the position to both to HMD,

 

Only thing I notice is the steam VR star room is showing in a dialogue box and I can see the fpsVR in that screen and can toggle but doesn’t seem to overlay in DCS...

Arrrgghhhh

Honestly, if you've tried pressing your 'hide overlay' button - making sure it's not something like Num5 conflicting - then I can offer no more suggestions. I've not heard of anyone else having this issue. Contact the dev, he's very good at replying on the Steam forum.

Imacken,

 

Further to your suggestion I noticed your VR is a HP Reverb Pro and not an Oculus Rift S. Trawling through the forums and support boards looks like your incorrect this program will not currently work with Rift S outside of the Steam environment, and as I run DCS outside steam looks like I’m waiting for this fix.

Looks like an SDK issue ....

 

fpsVR will only work on the Oculus Rift in games that do not force the Oculus SDK/API.

Some games (Elite Dangerous, Pavlov VR, ...) will override the SteamVR SDK/API when using an Oculus Rift, and prevent SteamVR from drawing to the headset. In this case, fpsVR will not work with those games. (fpsVR doesn't utilize the Oculus SDK/API).

Ah ok. You didn’t mention that you were running DCS outside of SteamVR. fpsVR is a SteamVR environment app.

Imacken,

 

Thanks for you pointers anyway, its what makes coming to the forums usefull…
