IronStar95 Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 I agree that the latest VD greatly improves the graphics performance (I gained 30 fps!). But there is still a big problem: Voice Attack does not work with VD. I tested several settings and it doesn't work! It's annoying.

I did set VA to specifically send the commands to DCS iirc tho. Edited March 5, 2023 by MoleUK

MoleUK Posted March 8, 2023 Author Posted March 8, 2023 I caved and bought a 5800X3D. Quick benches with and without shadows (on the ground is not going to be the same as in the air, obviously):

Good to hear, unfortunately launching VD in the Oculus api is not doable on the current MT build for whatever reason. Still works for single threaded exe tho. Hopefully that gets fixed, I think it's trying to force everyone to launch in OpenXR again like last time. Edited March 11, 2023 by MoleUK 1
Midair Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 I can't launch the MT version of DCS with Virtual Desktop on my Quest 2, do you how I can do it?

You no longer need to tweak the shortcut, just right click VD and point to DCS shortcut on standalone, or with a steam install just start DCS from within the games tab in VD. New GPU, current performance on a fairly busy MP server (though just after reset) with shadows and reprojection off. In-game settings in video, "medium" on VD is roughly 2000x2100, "high" is roughly 2500x2600 per eye. On link that is 4000x2100 or 5000x2600. If you're on DCS standalone, you need to right click VD in the task bar and point it towards DCS shortcut to launch. If on steam install, you need to launch DCS from within the games tab inside VD. The Q2 isn't perfect, but the current tradeoffs make it worth considering. Though the Pico 4 frankly has it beat on all fronts atm. I can't seem to get the Steam, MT version of DCS to run from the games tab inside VD. It just runs the regular version. Is there something I'm missing? Edited February 17, 2024 by sirgareth85

For most/many other games yes, for DCS no need. Try having VR ticked in the actual DCS settings then just launch it via steam as if you were going to play flatscreen, VD should pick it up. And it shouldn't be launching into SteamVR either. If it is you've got the wrong runtime selected, that was a relatively recent change as VDXR enables bypassing SteamVR in compatible titles.

Steel Jaw Posted February 17, 2024 Posted February 17, 2024 I don't understand... is VD a separate app or are we talking about the VD normally accessed through oculus link? "You see, IronHand is my thing" My specs: W10 Pro, I5/11600K o/c to 4800 @1.32v, 64 GB 3200 XML RAM, Red Dragon 7800XT/16GB.

VD is a seperate app that runs on the oculus and pico wireless headsets (and bought on their relevant stores), it's an alternative to oculus link entirely. Think of it like the recently released steam link, both steam link and VD operate as alternatives to oculus link, but both are wireless only. There is another app called VD on Steam but that is a different program entirely. Edited February 17, 2024 by MoleUK 1
