imacken Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 BN has it disabled in the SteamVR DCS settings, so it is off. Personally, I would recommend switching it on. I think it works extremely well with WMR and getting a very smooth 45fps is a great VR experience in DCS. I find having variable frame rates through the range to be less enjoyable. For me, if MP is off, the smoothness just disappears. As the great cliche goes, YMMV! 1 Intel i7 12700K · MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 4090 · ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A Wi-Fi · MSI 32" MPG321UR QD · Samsung 970 500Gb M.2 NVMe · 2 x Samsung 850 Evo 1Tb · 2Tb HDD · 32Gb Corsair Vengance 3000MHz DDR4 · Windows 11 · Thrustmaster TPR Pedals · Tobii Eye Tracker 5 · Thrustmaster F/A-18 Hornet Grip · Virpil MongoosT-50CM3 Base · Virpil Throttle MT-50 CM3 · Virpil Alpha Prime Grip · Virpil Control Panel 2 · Thrustmaster F-16 MFDs · HTC Vive Pro 2 · Total Controls Multifunction Button Box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still confused as to the motion smoothing in steam vr and the reprojection in the WMR for Steam VR are the same? (The one with motion vector for an option along with the colored indicator option) I think not, they are different windows. Surely these two conflict if they are both used. Might explain some of the constant ghosting some of us see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I I wonder if it also makes dcs better for those with a G2. Yeah for at least the Reverb and MSFS 2020 OpenXR is the way to go for sure.

Photon Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 This might have been mentioned somewhere in this thread before, but just so I understand. BN is running 54% both in global SteamVR settings, and the DCS per application settings. So that means his resolution is basically at around 29% ? That would explain why I could never get anywhere close to the fps in the first post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaiskool Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Ok true it's not that bad when runing well, nice experience BUT I feel very frustrated, i'm playing with all option you said above, i run a ryzen 9 with RTX 3080 32Go on SSD I'm getting some radical stutters/lag, i crashed at least 10 times in combat sortie due to freeze, i'm litteraly driving mad in game, the VR headset is showing "waiting" at the worst moment.... "Waiting" sure it's time to wait when aborting nose low @ mach 1.3+ in BVR, or low level nav, or dogfighting. i'm still investigating, but really runing out of patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 3, 2021 Author ED Team Share Posted January 3, 2021 I am not sure to be honest. The important thing is to find a balance that works for you and the fps you want to achieve. What I am using works great for frame rate, and still looks better than my previous headsets.

Yea, I agree on that :). Was just trying to find the magical setting, or something I had done wrong to get somewhere close to the FPS you achieved. So if I leave SteamVR global at 100%, and set per application resolution to 29%, then I'm getting more than 80fps myself, which seems to be the setting I was missing Edited January 3, 2021 by Photon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if I try to do the same thing: Take your point, that does seem to suggest that it is 54% in both General and DCS app specific, giving 29% in total. That might explain quite a lot.

IMO, running at 29% makes a nonsense of having a G2 in the first place. It is designed to run at 100% (approx 3100x3100). Anything less introduces barrel distortion, and anything less than 54% is running it at below native res. Obviously lowering the render rate will give you more fps, but at a quality compromise. Individual choice. I run at 100% with MP on, and I get a very smooth rock solid 45 fps (except SC and channel map) with frame times usually between 10 and 16 ms. But, as I said, it's about whatever makes you happy.

VpR81 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hey BN, thanks a lot for this hint. I followed your instructions, except for a few options that i figured out run better for me the way i already had them. Besides those, this realy helped me out! I'm just wondering about one of your settings. In the NVIDIA control panel you got "vertical synchronisation" set to "off" and in DCS ingame you got VSYNC also off. Now i'm a bit confused... Don't you get tearing effects due to non-synchronised frame? Because i do. If i set "vertical synchronisation" to "fast" in the NVIDIA control panel (and leave ingame VSYNC to off), there is (at least for me) no difference in performance but tearing effects are reduced to a minimum where these are hardly noticeable.
