At least using a screen is you have no peripheral vision, compared to other sims. You have tunnel vision and have a hard time finding the plane you just merged with... and if you lose sight of the other plane in a dogfight you are pretty much dead. Maybe its better in VR but on a screen it really bits. This is new. So, a problem already there since ever, back in times we didn't even have trackIr or panoramic vision in sims, just flat screens like changing cameras with a photo of the cockpit from that angle, at best. Most of the time you flew just looking forward and that was all. And now you discover this is a problem with DCS and anything else ever because you have no peripheral vision but in other arcades apparently your screen is bigger and you do .

Hobel Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 What helped me a lot in DCS WW2 to recognize other planes better is Reshade, you can use it to make the game itself more beautiful and also increase the contrasts a bit, this was a real game changer for me, I could recognize planes MUCH better and then never lost sight of them.

What settings do you find most useful for that? New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

For me those that defog the default smoggy atmosphere (make the air more clean & clear) and a must for debbuging the contact from the background: all kind of sharperners. For colouring some people use colourful, curves,... Diehards even lower the resolution of their monitors due pixels are bigger at lower res, but it's kinda stupid play DCS and watch it like if you were playing "1990 : The Secret of Monkey Island". 1 A simple Human being's Passion [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK why ED doesn't include this as a default thing TBH, i mean its night and day. I have upped saturation for the G2 since it looks terrible without it, but I haven't really played much with contrast stuff. 1 New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Only one: RESHADE and it's for free and you can use it in "whatever" game you have installed in your computer. Just google Reshade, install it, check out any YTube tutorial about DCS & RESHADE and enjoy it.

ShikariAUT Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 For the guys out there with spotting issues... I had the same problem spotting planes (while using an 4k widescreen monitor) which are more than 2-3km away from me. I even lost them sometimes in a dogfight. I than played a bit with Reshade. Now i can spot planes which are around 25-40km away from me. I even can spot them easier when they are flying low on the ground ur high up in the sky. In Reshade i used the option "cartoon". I played a little bit with this option so the graphics looks nearly the same as before. But now i can spot them much easier when they are far away. I also dont have to zoom in all the time so spot planes. Just give it a try guys! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachmonkey Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 too bad Reshade doesn't work with OpenXR. ED needs to fix this <profanity> for ALL users regardless of their VR gear/environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kablamoman Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 It comes down to the fact that the sim was really not primarily designed in the first place with WVR combat in mind. A robust, realistic, and scalable method for rendering airborne contacts visually was simply not a requirement. Widespread VR adoption for sims, including this one, has only served to exacerbate the problem. I have my doubts that this will change any time soon.

Ed has said before that they don't want to implement anything like smart scaling, though I think it would be a boon to VR users. 1 New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Ala13_ManOWar Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Since the Vulkan engine actually must change all of that, and they have to redo every shader and everything, why could it not change in a near future? The sole aim for VR might make a change in spotting also from a screen. Who knows, but it would make absolute sense (no info about that to my knowledge) they tweak that together with so many things they have to tweak, redo, change, make new from scratch, whatever. 1 "I went into the British Army believing that if you want peace you must prepare for war.

But at least DCS strives for realism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
