Talisman_VR Posted Monday at 04:25 PM Posted Monday at 04:25 PM (edited) Finally been trying to get openxr to work, but not much joy. First off, openxr doesn't like canted rendering and gives a double image, so I tried with canted rendering off and that worked. However, frame rates for same settings in vr1 tool drop from 90 fps with steam vr down to 56 fps max with openxr. Also, the image stutters constantly. I am using the release version of the vr1 tool, not the beta version. Second problem I have with the Somnium VR1 is that I am unable to get the IPD calibration to work, so can't use eye tracking. I always get the following 2 fault messages whenever I try to calibrate IPD: null Do any of you folks have any ideas as to why I might be getting the above error messages. Perhaps I am missing something simple. I have e-mailed the Somnium VR Team regarding the above error messages but they have been ignoring me so far. Does anyone have a good contact at Somnium for customer support? I can't find a customer support contact anywhere on the Somnium web site. Any suggestions, hint and tips from any of you folks using the Somnium VR1 would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Happy landings, Talisman Edited Monday at 04:33 PM by Talisman_VR
evanswillo Posted yesterday at 11:23 AM Posted yesterday at 11:23 AM Its been discussed on the VR1 Discord that Cantered images are not currently supported with the warping profiles used by the VR1. So I suggest youy do not use that option in DCS. For me ET works fine in the VR1 and DCS, suggest you join us on Discord.

The VR1 Tool will not let me enable ET until I have calibrated IPD. Every time I try to enable ET I am referred back to calibrate IPD. But the IPD calibration fails to function for me. So, no IPD calibration means I can't even pass 'go' to try ET at the moment. Still no reply from Somnium. Will try and make contact with them again soon. Thanks again. Happy landings, Talisman
evanswillo Posted yesterday at 01:52 PM Posted yesterday at 01:52 PM You are correct ET will not start until after calibration. Are you using the beta software release or the original stable. We are expecting an update to the stable very soon, but I have been running the beta releases and not had an issue. How complex is your setup do you have multiple screens. Is this a clean install of windows ? A lot of people have had issues that seem to be a conflict with non VR1 software that they have not fully uninstalled. Do you have lens inserts for the VR1. Sometimes the VR1 can sound like its not plug and play, I can say if given a clean sheet to work from VR1 suite of software is very good if sometimes rather complex. I am sure we can get you flying with ET.

Only have one screen, so not a complex setup. Yes clean windows 11 fresh installation with band new PC (5090). Good point regarding lens inserts. I had not thought of that. I do use lens inserts. I will try IPD calibration without the lens inserts fitted and report back. That might solve it. Though, to tell you the truth, I find the VR1 so good that life without ET is not likely to be an issue. I was curious about trying it because I have not experienced ET before. Quick question if I may. Out of interest. Do you find any benefit from using Space-warp? I have been using it from the start, but am now testing with Space-warp turned off and so far I have not noticed any difference. Many thanks for your feedback. Happy landings, Talisman
