sam777777 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I've been hearing around the place that it is harder to spot in VR than on a monitor. With the Reverb G2 and the Reshade for VR mod I feel this is no longer the case in DCS. Spotting and IDing are two separate things, I still find IDing harder in VR than on a monitor. What are your thoughts? 1 1 <VAAF> Virtual Australian Air-Force :thumbup::joystick::pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Sorry, off-topic but which Reshade are you using? A search here produces a couple of results. Thank you.

Not at all, I'm using this one: https://github.com/fholger/reshade/releases/tag/openvr_alpha2 But there is a faster one, no difference in terms of quality. I do run the sharpening settings up at .8 or .9 (for all 3 sharpening related settings). 1 <VAAF> Virtual Australian Air-Force :thumbup::joystick::pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) Which would the faster one be? And does it work only with SteamVR games? I am using standalone version, so I dunno where to install the files to. Back to topic, I don't fly combat in 2D so I cannot comment. Honestly, I am a little suspicious the spotting here is a bit "gamey" and I have not real-life comparison I can make. Edited May 29, 2021 by VFGiPJP VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants -- this is how I fly.

Lange_666 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Personally i find spotting a lot easier in VR (Rift-S, no extra shaders) then in 2D. But when i use both zoom functions things get harder to spot, certainly on magnifier zoom up to a point that i have to zoom back out to see that target again. Identifying is better in 2D.

Baz000 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 not only can I spot planes in VR, I can also spot incoming SAMs at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lange_666 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 LOL, yeah, i already looked one right in the face, millisecond for impact. I looked right and it was there, just in front of me and then...

tomeye Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Reshade for VR makes things clear, I do not see any difference using Kegety shaders. Have you noticed difference in fps using kegety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you noticed difference in fps using kegety? Yes, for me it's about 2ms. Which is around a 15% improvement. With the IC pass for MP it's about 1.2 ms. Almost 10% still. <VAAF> Virtual Australian Air-Force :thumbup::joystick::pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
