Stereoscopic mirrors for VR

[Torri]

Basically the title.

 

Currently it feels like watching a screen rather than an actual mirror.

The other WW2 sim has stereo mirrors, which makes the whole experience very immersive.

Hoping the new render engine will provide for that and allow acutal reflecting surfaces to get this right without having to look at a render frame within the cockpit that seems to run at 320x200 on the highest screen res setting.

Is there a way to disable the DCS mirror as I prefer using OculusMirror.exe...much better.

The game options...

The game options...

 

 

Location of setting please.

Default keybind is usually M

 

Global setting can be found under 'Gameplay' it is found in the controls below 'F10 View Options'

OculusMirror.exe is VR Mirror display. As in what's shown in VR will be mirrored on the monitor. Not the mirrors in cockpit.

And the OP on this thread is talking about seeing stereoscopic into the cockpit mirrors. Everyone's talking different stuff it's actually funny.

 

And no, there is no way to turn off DCS VR Mirror "display"

OP is Referring to VR Output Mirror not In Game Cockpit Mirrors.

 

Use Oculus Mirror and you change change Settings/Resolution/Render Type.

 

My App Supports this.

I'm pretty sure OP is talking about in game cockpit mirrors as he mentioned that it looks like watching a screen rather than mirror. VR Output mirror will obviously look like watching a screen and nothing to complain about.

 

Also talking about other sims with stereo mirrors being "immersive". I don't see how VR Output mirror can be "immersive". That's how I understood OP anyway.

 

fitness88 above was asking about VR output mirror.

[fitness88]

I'm not talking about the reflection mirrors in the aircraft to see behind you.

I'm talking about the desktop mirror image of what you see in your VR HMD.

I'd like to stop the default game mirror so as to use the OculusMirror.exe which allows for streaming 3D and many more settings...it's much better.

 

 

Thanks for all your inputs.

To clear it up, I was referring to in-game mirrors to look behind your plane :lol:

Easy to confuse...I should have used the automobile term 'rear-view mirror'

I wonder how often this request crops up... I see it mentioned in plenty threads, dating back up to 5 years. IL-2 has working mirrors with little performance impact. How do we get ED to take this on board and actually fix the mirrors? I have them disabled in VR because they're so wrong.

agreed

Strange thing is, ED tweaked the Hornet mirrors some time (about 2 years?) ago. They kinda improved from a completely washed out effect (sort of mega fish eye), to mirrors where you can actually see/distinguish the aircraft's vertical stabs and wingtips.

But indeed, definitely no stereoscopic effect at the moment.

 

Although my graphics card will probably disagree, stereoscopic mirrors would be nice to have. But perhaps after the introduction of Vulkan?

I'd like to see a central place for bug reports and wishlist items so people could vote on what they feel is a priority. This kind of thing just gets left and left and left. It's unlikely to ever be addressed
