Vector1 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 (edited) Hi , found the problem , was running XRNS , that's why it was crashing when loading mission , even though Pico Connect uses OpenXR , it still uses SteamVR , so XRNS is not compatible with Steam ! , without XRNS running it works OK. I am going to try VRNS to see if that works with Pico Connect , Also as a comparison with Virtual Desktop I use Godlike, getting similar results with same settings in DCS, only difference is Pico Connect hasn't got Godlike , I use Ultra in that . PS I noticed Pico Connect only uses half the Wi-Fi Bandwidth Virtual Desktop does?

mrsylvestre Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Caveat: Pico Connect "ultra" is the same resolution as Virtual Desktop "high" (2560x2560 per eye). It is possible to redefine Pico Connect resolution by editing a (big) config file but when set on par with Virtual Desktop higher resolutions, performance in DCS is not as good. Connect is a big improvement on Streaming Assistant, especially with regard to useability, but regarding performance in DCS it is still behind Virtual Desktop.

Qcumber Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I couldn't get it to run DCS at all. I'll try disabling the open XR layers. Maybe XRNS is the issue for me too. 5800x3d: rtx4070: 64Gb 3200: 1Tb NVME: Pico 4: Rift S: Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector1 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Have you got SteamVR installed , Also I use SkateZilla's updater app to auto open SteamVR , before DCS opens When I open Steam from inside Pico Connect desktop I can't get DCs to open. Hope that helps . Metabox Laptop i9 13900HX, RTX 4060, 32GB 4800 MHz DDR4 RAM, 2GB SSD, Pico4 VR Headset WinWing Orion 2 Hotas, F15E Strike Eagle handles, F16EX Viper Joystick.

A couple of things here that might be the problem. 1) You have enabled the AV-1 codec which is Q3 only 2) Your load screen is for the ST/open VR version. Since the MT and open XR version the load screen is messy and fragmented. 3) Please tell me you are not running W98 If you are trying to run open VR then that might be the issue. 5800x3d: rtx4070: 64Gb 3200: 1Tb NVME: Pico 4: Rift S: Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diminou31700 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The codec Works fine before the DCS update but i change it to HEVC to try. I launch DCS from the directory DcS/bin-mt tonight but still thé issue. Of course not I run windows 11 but my windows 98 desktop, it is so fun lot of people dont Care about my 32 screen curved but they are fascinating with this pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector1 Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 (edited) Oceandar , no advantage , it is free , and trying to compare Pico Connect visuals to Virtual Desktop, also I have found , Wi-Fi bite rate is only half of Virtual Desktops , so it might be advantageous for people that don't have Router/Modem right next to them , Like me who had to buy another modem , and run Ethernet through a wall to get the 1200 mbps that Virtual Desktop requires for the best outcome!

You don't need to install open xr. Open xr is an API; an interface between DCS and VD. You might be referring to open xr toolkit maybe? This is a useful add on for fine tuning but not necessary. 5800x3d: rtx4070: 64Gb 3200: 1Tb NVME: Pico 4: Rift S: Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoN Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Pico connect is in beta stage correct. Uninstall and go back to pico link . Try dcs. Also Necksaver works with steam Api . XRNS will crash DCS.

jungleboy123 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Just to say i've decided to hop back to using the quest 3. The Pico Connect is just a little unstable, oversaturated and the quality is slightly below the Quest 3. I have both wired USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
