Gourmand Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 I am new to DCS, Flight Sim and VR (Quest 2 with cable link). Having an issue with resolution - not good. Started first 3-4 flights as outstanding now its unacceptable. Any advise on optimization of settings for DCS, Oculus, and GPU? I have tried several setting changes from this forum and from other sources to no avail. I am not a gamer or computer science major so any advise at the newbie, step-by-step level would be appreciated. Also, I do want to learn more about optimization so that I can keep up with changes going forward - any advise on learning sources would be appreciated.

Caster Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 Very curious to see if you get a good answer. I never fixed and actually ended up returning my quest 2, I couldn't even read the F-16's MFDs properly with all the settings cranked up Fly fast and leave a pretty wreck
RoboHackfeld Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 I found some good settings, wrote them down in this thread. So maybe you can adopt a couple of them to your system. Found out that its very important to have the resolution ins Oculus Link at Max + the resolution in Tray-/Debug-Tool.

Eldur Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 There's definately an issue with DCS and/or the Oculus software currently. I have both the CV1 and Quest 1 and even when using Virtual Desktop at the medium setting which makes the thing render at 3648x2016 (CV1: 2880x1600), the higher res and clarity were very easily noticable at first glance. As of recently, having the Quest up makes me think I'm using a modded VFX-1 with 100° FOV, but the ultra low res. No matter if done via Virtual Desktop or the new Air Link. And I haven't been able to make the cabled Link work anymore to try that. But basically, DCS and the Quest are now totally incompatible. I get a much better and crisper image in the old CV1. But every other game is absolutely fine and beating the old Rift hooves down.
TheRigere Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 I watched many many videos of improved claims and settings. Most all say to use oculus tray tool. Then they tweak settings in dcs OR tray tool. I have found recently that tweaking BOTH has significant improvement fir me. I boosted pixel density in tray tool to 1.4. Then in dcs boosted it to 1.3. I expected severe lag or jitter etc but it was extremely “fast” and smooth. Way better than just boosting to 1.4 in dcs which was almost unplayable. The cockpit displays are CRYSTAL clear and no longer have to zoom to read them. Honestly I was shocked. The only thing I’ve left to tweak is anti aliasing. While everything now looks the best I have seen with fast responsive playability I still have distant white line shimmers from time to time. It’s a tough thing and lots of trial and error. Even if you have two identical systems they don’t always seem to work the same with same settings. Which is why I’m not listing mine. Most tutorials I’ve seen since 2.7 release with regard to vr settings have been the best fir a baseline to start and I experimented from there. Good luck but once you dial in yours you’ll be mesmerized.
