Is this a Pimax thing?

[Moxica]

I get these transparent shades, one for each eye.
They're worse when looking to a bright background.
Sometimes, looking at darker BG, they get a bit brighter.
Wut is dat?

(I replicated the artifact in photoshop, and it is a tad exaggerated, but they look just like that, except they are centered.)

That is quadviews in action, fortunately you have options to adjust them or simply turn them off.

[MadMonty]

Try switching SSAO off in DCS

[Calvin.Pimax]

SSAO off will eliminate this.

I've never used SSAO.
It is allready off.

In my case it significantly reduced the issue. but I can still see it. Turn SSAO on and see if its worse.

Just tried that; No joy.
BUT.
..it was the quadviews.
But with QW off, it is even more jittery and swimmy.

[Gun Jam]

So SSAO on VS off looks the same to you?

And yes it is 100% a QV issue. However I'm quite surprised that SSAO "on" made no change on your end.

It’s related to QV, but I recall some users reporting that with SSAO turned off, the box doesn’t show up.

I don’t think that is correct. I also have read this that SSAO solves it. But it does not. If SSAO has anything to do with it, it must be in in combination with something else that we don’t know what is. 

Weather and lighting conditions impact how visible it is. But it is there, SSAO On or Off doesn’t matter. 
 

SSAO off doesn’t matter and I hope that Eagle Dynamics and Pimax don’t  believe that is the solution. Because then we will be stuck with the problem.

Would you please show us your DCS VR settings?

I only saw this if Blooming and/or Lens Flare was enabled with Eye Tracking running. Was a thing long time before QV was a thing.

I’ll need to forward this to the devs for further testing. Just to confirm, it’s only visible when QV is activated, right?

Yes. I turned QV off, and it disappeared.

I reckon it's a combination of high-rez/low-rez zones on a moira-prone panel.

Why are u using MSAA as AA and not DLSS?

Moira has nothing to do with it. I experienced this with my OG Crystal too. No moria at all there, and very little on my Super

Hi,

 

thank you, but those are the system settings with Lens Effects enabled.

I've asked for the VR settings. You have to disable the Bloom effect, like in my settings, you can see below.

Because it looks better, and DLSS makes a mush in MFD/TGP.

Ever tried this: To add DLSS MFD clarity in DCS World, create or edit the autoexec.cfg file in your Saved Games/Config/ folder and add the line HUD_MFD_after_DLSS = true to prevent MFDs from blurring with DLSS enabled. And also, are sure you are running the right dlss version with the right profile? (k)

Thanx for great tips.
No, I have not even created the autoexec yet. -interesting!
I couldn't be arsed to install all those 3rd party apps to set profile "K"
(Is the dlss-swapper necessary, if I were to just put the dll in bin folder?)


(Not cocky, I just wanted to use that "be arsed" english phrase.    )
