Danimal1306 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 While it’s obvious that 2D clouds render better than in VR, it’s the same for any object at a distance. The clouds we have gotten in 2.7 are far and away better than before! Thanks ED for a great product, and continually working to improve it! Nothing is as good visually in VR vs 2D. We sacrifice that visual quality for the immersion that VR achieves. That said, it would be amazing if ED could get clouds in VR looking closer to 2D! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jafergon Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 That's exactly right. I'm fully aware that overall in VR these days it's hard to get the same quality that you can get in 2D. The point of this thread was simply to notify as a bug that quality options in the settings menu don't have any effect in VR, so you can't adjust them accordingly with your hardware at the moment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon1-1 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Why would things look worse in VR, though? Other than bugs in the code, there's no reason that something that can be rendered on a 4K screen couldn't be rendered on a 4K VR display, isn't it? Performance is the only limiting factor, but people are running 3090s now. The only problems I can see are issues resulting from having to use two cameras, but I think that can be fixed with enough effort. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zildac Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Personally I'd love to see a patch that was VR focused. As much as I appreciate the huge amount of effort that the team constantly put into the sim, there are some real VR fundamentals that need to be addressed. The fact the US military are using the platform as part of their A10 training syllabus is reason enough surely. 6 12900KF | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wychmaster Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The jittering was mostly fixed in the last patch. Is the quality issue also fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wychmaster Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Well I don't know what to say, but DCS in VR is now totally awesome... Thanks so much ED. I forgive you guys for taking all my money Some impressions: 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryzor Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 CONGRATULATIONS @ED for this patch. Clouds are awesome specially now in ULTRA. Also in HIGH. Please fix the not rendering some details at L eye in VR (specially noticeable with guy´s clothes on carrier deck, but also in many other objects...), improve performance a bit... and this would be awesome!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_P Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Much much better after this update... Certainly more work to be done, there still seems to be far too much translucency < especially with the sun... Some additional internal shadows wouldn't go a miss either. There is also still the issue of the clouds being aliased at distant, this has little to do with msaa etc. You can see the voxels on distance clouds trying to interpolate the edges, but again this patch has made things better for sure.

WelshZeCorgi Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I kinda feel like the clouds don't look that pretty for me in VR, (pictures a few posts above) even with my settings on Ultra, are there other graphical options that effect the visual quality of the clouds? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can of course also deceive myself but since the little update in between, the clouds are looking worse again. the small update made SSAA work again. It feels for me the same as for you.

Flappie Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Guys, do you mind sharing screenshots of your clouds? (please specify your cloud setting) Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(please specify your cloud setting) Dont missunderstand me, the clouds are looking great after the patch, but it feels, that they looked a little bit better, befor the SSAA fix came out. But again, i can also deceive myself in this situation and everything is okay. At the pictures below, i tried different presets and picture 2 with a different time. When the sun is not at 12 o´clock, i´ve the best experience. Maybe it was exactly that. When I flew on a multiplayer server short after the SSAA Fix, it was possibly exactly 12 o'clock and that was the reason, the clouds felt ugly for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jafergon Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Sorry, I can't post any screenshots ATM, but just did a quick test and based on my memories from flying on wednesday, they look as good s then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Good. I wasn't sure if it was true or just a feeling. like i said befor maybe it was a number of circumstances like bad preset with bad time of day, but thanks for your confirm that at your point of view, the patch didn’t change anything. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention, I also think that the glow of the clouds when the sun is behind them is exaggerated. It seems to take a lot of clouds to stop the glow of the sun from coming through compared to real life. Although it may be that in real life I just don't stare at the dazzling glow of the sun when the layer of clouds is too thin to stand it. Actually, I'm not comfortable anymore with this kind posts based on "feelings", but just in case ED finds it useful, there it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
