up to 300% fps win in VR !

[lefuneste01]

I was very surprised to see I can use my mod to fix GPU saturation when using CBU, Minigun or playing scene with a lot of explosions (even far after the explosions).

It has been reported to devs, but if you do not want to wait a fix that may come a day, you can have a look here : https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/207154-3dmigoto-vr-mod-for-dcs-label-masking-color-enhancement-sharpen-fxaa-copypaste-of-radio-msg

By using my mod  and playing a track with CBU,  my fps went from 20 to 60 fps when all CBU explosed ! After the explosion I remained at 60 fps, wihtout the mod it is ~30 fps...

The mod will also avoid you to have GPU saturation when firing minigun.

Interesting.  Relevant to the Hornet and working in 2.7?

[lefuneste01]

Should be relevant to all planes, because it's explosion created by ammunition, and only compliant/tested with 2.7.9.17830.  I did not have time to check with last update yet.

By that - do you mean it passes IC?

I have been using this mod for some time now, can confirm it passes IC.

Besides what @lefuneste01 said above, this mod can do much more, essentially allowing simple-interface, in cockpit tweaking of how the game looks. You can change reflections, colours, haze, sharpness, etc etc. I highly recommend it!

Thank you for this mod it works great with Rift S, really like terrain soft shadows and sharper HUD/MFD's without impact frame rate. I just hope ED will check some of this and implement something similar into next updates

I have to admit that I am hesitant to meddle with DCS this much lest I pork my install.  Also, having read the thread for it, I cant fathom getting enough of a performance boost to make it worthwhile.  What say folks who have tried it.

I can confirm increase of 300% in performance in some situtations in VR. My frametimes went from 40 ms to 10 kms specially in these scenes with a lot of craters, CBU or artillery bombing, etc

I downloaded the zip file, installed it with ovgme. Activated the fps fix, saved the changes (make sure you make sure the changes are saved, but at first I used the wrong alt-key with save button I think). One of the more annoying things with DCS are situations that spike the fps (smoke, cluster bombs etc. This seems to remove these occurrences (not sure it removes all, haven’t been able to test much yet. I’d say it’s worth it from what I’ve seen so far.

Ok thanks for the feedback, brothers.

It removes a lot of them, even artillery fire not only CBU (craters and smokes that ruins FPS), but I think that there are some shaders not touched by Lefuneste fix, for example, CBU bomblets concretely in AJS-37 (some sort of cruise missile that drop cbu parachutes, I dont remember weapon name...), those weapons still creates a lot of shaders and smokes.

@Lefuneste: how do you can visualize with shader are active in each scene or situation? maybe I can identify some others modding the d3dx.ini by myselft. In addition I would be very interested in disabling shader that control flat shadows, maybe we can have the mod that allows us to turn off shadow flat rendering.

Thanks  

PD. What I surprise to me... test the mission "Battle" in Caucasus with KA-50. Before LF fix, was unplayable, mainly due artillery fire and craters. Now, I can maintain 45 fps in VR everytime, without framedrops! In some situations, the performance gain is about even 400%. Hats OFF Lefuneste!
