CPS_Bomber Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Hi all Anyone here flying the Mirage F1 using Quest 2? It's most likely a setting or settings I need to tweak on my system, but the cockpit overall and instruments are generally very shimmery/sparkly, in particular the ADI (artificial horizon) and the covering for the control panel (especially on the upper left) look almost like glitterballs. Not only does it make many of the instruments and dials difficult to read, it's very uncomfortable for the eyes. I have all the flyable modules in my collection, and this is the only aircraft I'm seeing this really exaggerated effect in, and it's present in the F1CE, EE and BE. External views are perfect. It's all fine in 2d using TrackIR. I have access to both standalone Beta and Stable with normal or MT versions (so no DCS Steam install). I'm currently using standalone Open Beta MT with 2.9 update. FXO and Metashaders2 folders emptied after update + last hotfix installed. I also use Viacom Pro/VoiceAttack (not that that should make a difference?) I'm using Quest 2 with cable via USB3 hub (all updates installed). It's set to 72hz with default 1.0x 4128x2096 resolution setting. I also have Oculus Tool Tray installed and OpenXR tool kit. I've got 32gb RAM, Nvidia 3090ti (latest drivers), 1000w PSU with Win10 home premium fully updated with DCS on an SSD and windows on an NVME. On 2D with TrackIR I can run maxed out on all maps (except for Sinai and Syria when things get very busy I notice a drop in performance). In-game settings for a balanced smooth and clear performance in VR are: SYSTEM Res 1920x1080 (desktop Res is 3440x1440) 1 screen 1024 every frame MSAA 4x Upscaling off Sharpening 0.51 Textures high Terrain textures high Shadows flat only Shadows blur both off SSS off Visible range high Civ traffic off Clouds ultra Water medium SSAO off SSLR off Lens effect dirt+flare Heat blur off Motion blur off Depth of field off Clutter 0 Forest Vis 50% Forest detail 0.3 Scenery detail 0.4 Preload 100000 Chimney smoke 0 Gamma 1.7 Ext FoV 78 LoD 1 Anisotropic 16x Terrain object shadow off Cockpit global illumination off Font scale 1 Scale GUI 1 Rain droplets on VSync off Full screen off Cursor to game window on VR Pixel density 1.2 Force IPD unchecked (value in box states 63.5) Bloom effect off MSAA mask 0.42 HMD mask off VR mirror Use DCS resolution on Eye source right eye. My Nvidia control panel has a profile for DCS, but everything is set to default/global setting except: Power management mode - pref max performance VR pre rendered frames - 1 The basic setup was done using the latest tutorial by Laubox as it covered both 2.9 and Quest 2, and all in all this is the clearest and smoothest I've had it all running: https://youtu.be/C799qSimMd4?si=7j0o-reiAMjPXPjN Any suggestions as to where to look at settings to tweak? Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice!

PeriPar Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Hey, I had the same problem and I tried to increase the resolution to around 6-7. This decreased the "sparkling" quite a bit without affecting the FPS too much. If you have found another way to make it go away please let me know! I am no expert, but I hope this helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
