solved VR screen going black during carrier launch.

[Racoon-1-1]

Dear DCS crew,

I have a huge problem with my VR screens going entirely black for several seconds when I do a catapult launch in the F/A-18C Hornet.

It doesn't matter on which map, and it doesn't matter if I start DCS in single- or multithread. It happens in "normal" SteamVR and it happens with OpenComposite + OpenXR. I also noticed that it happens in the F3 view when a jet passes faster than supersonic and sometimes in the F6 weapon view when the missile/bomb gets destroyed on a hit. It also doesn't matter if I deactivate g-effects or not.

Kind regards

Does the screen go black in 2d?

What headset are you runnig, I know the g2 can sometimes require either a firmware update,nor for you to turn the volume down in certain circumstances, or it will black screen.  But check the connections to your headset as well

For the firmware update if you haven't already applied it

Thank you so much!!

I installed the firmware and now it works like a charm! Tried it a few times now and I get absolutely no blackscreen anymore!
