Is this usefull for VR players? I currently have a reverbg2

YES and NO , you will see a big black dot but when you get closer that black dot goes then you really have to start zooming in and out as your loose that darkness of that black dot .

This is when DCS is in LOD state its still not perfect but it helps to see at a distance ,But  once in combat range  it becomes hard too see again . Has it's good points and bad . It's DCS lod that's the problem.

Server with 92 WWII players and VR users say same thing     "I cant see <profanity>" .     .........lol . 😄

It's comforting to see that so many DCS users have problems with "the dot system" and spotting, as shown by the many comments and the likes of posts adressing ED for this problem. I hope this thread raises attention among the devs to finally come up with a good solution after all these years...

The only way this will be fixed is to keep going at it . This has been going on for years . I'm tired of straining my eye sight looking for targets. VR is amazing. But this game has problems in spotting and LOD .

The first step was letting the team know there is currently an issue that can be used to basically cheat right now, in that the IC doesn't catch these changes.

The next step is to look at what these changes do beyond what we offer and see how to best offer them, while I appreciate the OP's work on the mod, and for bringing it to light, the better result is having it in the base game in some form.

How about removing dots entirely and instead moving toward a dynamic scaling solution?

Playing since LOMAC and ONLY two major things bothered me always:

1. Optimization   - fixed with MT

2. Spotting

I play in waves(playing for some time, than a break), and every single wave was the same: "Playing on MP servers on native resolution, understand that can't see <profanity>, lowering it to 1080p, understand that game looks like <profanity>, uninstall and then install again when new major patch or plane is out", and this is from someone who amassed more than 3k hours of game time.

So glad OP made this mod and this thread and I'm utterly disappointed with ED attitude, luckily I understand Russian language and read some stuff from that topic "Ask developers"... oh boy, its not even unprofessional, some of those post are literally disgusting. THERE IS CLEARLY a problem with spotting, poll is saying that, people are saying that, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. 

Thank you Why485 for this mod, but gratitude is much more on the fact that you raised awareness to ED team and hopefully they will do something about it.

P.S.

It feels like cheating every time I play at 1080p vs higher resolution guys....
