fpsVR

[wju]

Hi all,

the last fpsVR Beta has a new hot key function to start/stop logging CPU/GPU frametimes and loads.

It is very useful for VR tweaking

 

One can find it under Settings/Advanced/Frames data logging.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/908520/fpsVR/

 

Logging works, but so far I am not able to start/stop it by hotkey in DCS.

Hotkeys work from other games; but not from DCS.

Only way is to switch window to fpsVR, then hotkey reacts.

 

Does anyone tested hotkeys in fpsVR?

 

 

:dunno:

to be clear, what I am asking about

[wju]

well, every VR user I know, spends a lot of time by tunning his/her system and no one is interested? this fpsVR logging functionality is really unique, as far as I am aware...

Limitation is SteamVR based headset.

 

the feature is also active in the last stable version now, but hot-key still does not work in DCS. In DCS, logging can be started/stopped only via menu. In other games, hotkey works flawlessly.

I spent a lot of time. I dont spend time anymore. Now I fly and enjoy VR. :-)

Speaking for myself, I wouldnt pay for that, no way. In DCS, I have Afterburner+RivaTuner to display my fps in the tray next to the clock so I can look below the headset to check the fps.

Thanks for reply guys, but the reason I have posted thread about fpsVR was not to advertise the app (have no relation to the developer) nor incite anyone to buy it.

 

I would simply like to know, wheter the hot key functions does not work only for me or is it common issue. Not only logging, any fpsVR hotkey.

Because from other games it works, only from DCS doesn´t.

I will try fpsVR hotkeys and report back :-)

 

And I spent happily the few quid to tweak my experience to the max ;-) It is a nice app, that works as advertised.

i think the default key maps to a view in DCS so you will need to find something that isnt used on your controls

of course I have tested combination which is not used in DCS;

 

what is your key combination? Have you tested it?

[speed-of-heat]

yep, RCtrl+RShift+F11 , you get a nice "tone" to let you know it is working

[wju]

thanks, I´ll try tonight.

are you on Steam or standalone?

 

unfortunately no success here so far, logging still starts by hotkey only when out of the DCS window;

tried not only yours but many other key combinations

stand alone

well, I have finally solved the problem - I was running DCS in admin mode (dunno why).

I have accidentally found the solution on teamspeak forum; they were discussing the same problem with teamspeak.

 

Do not runn DCS in admin mode. It can block the access to the hotkeys for all other software, which does not run in admin mode.

 

Thats it.

[speed-of-heat]

That would make sense, I run dcs from a non program files directory so it doesn’t need admin mode.

 

Btw that’s also true of any bit of software running in admin mode.
