Log with DCS crash with official Meta update v63. My friend recived Today the update. Of course he had no idea about anything, he called me and said that his DCS wasn't working, he had Quest 3. He already thought he had to install DCS, and the repair didn't help him. Fortunately, I knew what it was about. With his consent, I am giving his logo @Flappie @BIGNEWY , currently he cannot fly in DCS and Quest 3. Im still on v62. dcs (7).log He has a loading screen, then he sees a black image, then CTD.

Of course this doesn't mean the "death of DCS for Oculus users", but it will cause big problems, especially if people don't get clear information and some roadmap to the hotfix at least. Virtual Desktop costs $20 and will not provide better quality than LinkCable. It probably requires correcting some code and Meta itself can probably help the ED team within 1-2 days so I think it's a matter of time, maybe a short time, a few days and it will be ok again.

Obviously!

Right now, I'm flying more MSFS/IL-2 than DCS because I'm waiting for Phantom, so I'm not doing anything. If there is v63, too bad, I'll wait a while until ED fixes it. Phantom will probably be available at the end of March or even in April, I hope they will do it by then, although many people may be surprised when DCS stops working in VR and they start looking for the cause, thinking that something happened to their goggles or PC . I think that if v63 starts being released to people and DCS in VR stops working, there should at least be some official notice about it on the DCS website, because people will be tearing their hair out as to why it doesn't work.

No any official way for this by Meta. I saw the webpage with old Oculus software (not official) but I cant find it now. It must appear after the weekend, a lot of people have no idea what they have, whether they have v62 or other, there are many people who do not visit any forum. They're about to start crying.

@Flappie @BIGNEWY Pretty please the hotfix!

Like it!

@IronMike I have a question about manual, I see it is updated but still no any detiled instructions for procedures (for example how to use bomb, a2a etc.). Do you have to plan update it about detailed procedures (switches, buttons, checklists)? Now, mostly its general info about system.

If Meta pushed this Update v.63 as official it could ba a problem for many very soon, maybe this week even. Pls release the hotfix sooner than the Global patch. Now Im on v.62 and no issue, but If v.63 becomes the official version, I will receive these updates within a few days perhaps. Edit. https://www.meta.com/pl-pl/help/quest/articles/whats-new/release-notes/ < looks like false alarm, still v.62 is a current version so maybe we have more time.

Shipment Today. Im ready now, is Heatblur ready too?

In my opinion, it should be something between the current values, but better than in 2.8. The idea of the „box” is not bad, but it is crucial for VR and doesnt look good. Now I fly more in MSFS and IL-, not DCS, but when Phantom comes out I will return to DCS and I will give more examples.

Nice, crg! Looks very well done.

If someone didnt notice it: 2 weeks ; ) (TM).

Heatblur (info for pre orders): Shipping in progress! Our office team has been working hard over the last few weeks and shipping DCS: F-4E pre-order bonus items worldwide. We hear some of you have already received your goodies! Unfortunately due to a slight delay in vinyl production and overwhelming numbers of pre-orders with physical items, shipping of some orders will extend into the beginning of March, our sincerest apologies for this delay. Note that we do not send you a shipping tracking number, however don't hesitate to get in touch if you have questions or concerns. Thank you for all of the support, it means the world to us. We hope you'll enjoy your new shirts and Of Ghosts and Thunder by Meteor!

I didnt recive it yet (Poland, ordered at beginning), Im still waiting.

This is I don't know too, but currently what it offers along with the DCS settings is 100% sufficient for me. The rest could be separate mod for distance view (they are like that) but If it's different on one map than on another, it makes no sense at all. A mod for everything (as a separate mod) is ok, a modification for just one map (concluded together) makes no sense. Then, for example, with this single map, you would have to correct everything with the slider in the DCS settings, there is no point.

I dont use any kidn of beta or public test channel for Oculus software. Its not the first time, where they broke something. Im still on the 62v and no any issue, I hope they will not release this problematic v63 as a public version (after fix ok).

Don't exaggerate with this range too mutch, because it can significantly reduce performance, especially in VR, the current values, given the current mod, are absolutely ok and provide good performance and visibility on 2D and for VR users. Thx.

Nice idea, the lines are too "fat" for VR flying for me. Can you share your file od manual how to do it or where?

No, personally Im usung only Barthek ground textures mods for Caucasus and Normandy 2 maps plus few small, I dont use any mod for the flyable modules, also no any mod for VR. My full resolution (reading by OpenCR Toolkit) is something about 3000x3000 pxt per eye.

No any issue here, the most demending part (for FPS) is Aleppo and around the city, but otherwise the map works great. In my opinion, the problem is not in the map but elsewhere. You can try DLSS + Quality, I dont see it on your settings (old screenshot?) After 22th patch is even better here (near Aleppo), for me stable 72 FPS. Try my settings + pixel density 1.0.

Interesting, no this problem on the Quest Pro. Looks more like question for producer - Varjo. Personally I always turn down the brigness of IHADSS in Apache. Default are too bright for me and cover ground details.

Nice work, textuers are amazing too (what I see)! It will be great model!

ASW works direct from the ODT, you can switch it during the gameplay also by mouse. I never used the keyboard for this.
