We have just discovered with Hotdognz, that if you have 4k monitor, you need to set your display resolution to 2560x1440 or below. You can also contact me on Discord and I'll help you get it working just as with Hotdognz Discord: 3DArtistExtreme#8156

Thank you! I hope that everything works for you!

Another significant update 1.2 is out! It comes with the most complete UI.

Major update 1.1 is out! AA Radar is back! Together with new scopes and placement of UI information. Please let me know if everything works fine or not, and if you have any suggestions or feedback

Combined Arms does have an amazing potential in VR, it only needs a proper rework to match the current level of DCS modules. Current VR implementation is bugged and scopes are broken. This mod attempts to fix most scopes and tweaks few other parameters. Calibration of the scopes is done on HP Reverb G2. I hope this fix works on other VR headsets as well. You will need to recenter your headset upon entry of the vehicle, and before shooting the target (for the best precision). A list of vehicles that have been calibrated and checked, but not limited to! RED: BMP-2, BMP-3, BTR-82, SA-19 Tunguska, T-72, T-80, T-90, ZSU-23, Grad, Smerch, Tor, Osa. BLUE: AAV-7, LAV-25, Bradley, Linebacker, Avenger, HMMWV TOW, Challenger, Merkava, Leopard, M1A2, Palading, MLRS, Stryker ATGM, Gepard. Download link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ru/files/3322209/ CA_VR_HUD_FIX_v1.2.rar Installation: -If you have 4k monitor, set your display resolution to 2560x1440 or below!!!! -Set in-game resolution to 1280x768 -Aspect ratio then should be: 1.6666666666667 -Set "Monitors" to "1 Screen" -In VR tab set the "Pixel density" to 1, enable "Use DCS System Resolution" and "Crop to Rectangle" check boxes -Set in "OpenXR Toolkit" resolution to 70%. You can also try setting it higher, I had no issues in my tests with this parameter. However these are my settings. -Use Alt+Enter to enter the fullscreen mode when in a mission. Use OvGME for easy installation or install it manually by copying "Mods" folder to the root folder of the game. Use "Backup" folder within archive to revert the changes. P.S. Do not use scope zoom and rangefinder, they are not functional. Do not use them, they will mess up your aim! Keep it the range at 0000. Use VR zoom instead of scope zoom. If something doesn't work, try replicating my settings, presented in a screenshot below. UPDATE 1.1 -UI information is being properly displayed now -New scopes are callibrated -AA Radar is fixed UPDATE 1.2 - Further refinement to UI elemets! -Better UI colors -Better UI elements placement -Compass and tank hull/turret elements have being added -New scopes are being callibrated -AA Radar is refined to a next level Enjoy and feel free to experement and improve! ============================================================= Troubleshooting: If something doesn't work for you, try to copy over the following in-game settings.

I`m a pilot, looking for a co-pilot. PM me if interested :)

I have to confirm it, this thing took me quite some time to discover. However, I can finally run DCS in VR with acceptable fps.

Ryzen should also have some sort of hyper-threading I guess. If you disable that and test, it might help :) I see that Ryzen does have "Simultaneous Multi-Threading", try to disable that.

UPDATE: After disabling: -CPU C States -Hyperthreading -Intel Virtualization Technology -Intel VT for Directed And setting cpu to 100% in min and max power settings, but disabling TurboBoost in Intel app, I`ve got even more fps than before. OLD: As you might see on my first screenshot, my cores where always at 100% load. Here comes my bios image: Anything wrong here?

Disabling turbo boost increased my performance. In task manager go to Details, find DCS.exe (it shows only when you run DCS). Right mouse click on it and Set Affinity, select all cores.

Got it! It helps! Also check the possible solution, it helps me :) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3641389#post3641389

Alright guys, I might have just found the solution of increasing fps. With some help from guys over here :) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3641390&posted=1#post3641390 Also a while ago I tweaked this config for DCS 1.5. It gave me 50% boost in performance. It took me around 2 weeks of tweaking and playing with values including forums research. I don`t recall all the adjusments that I`ve made. But the wierd thing with this config, if I copy it in the way it is, it gives me alot of performance. Although even if I change single value from game menu and save it, it ruins my fps by 50% (atleast in 1.5 it did). Not if I do it though Notepad++. So if you want to adjust it, please only manually through Notepad++. Haven`t tried in DCS 2.5 I have 2 configs for DCS 1.5 and in 2.5 Also important to disable your turbo boost at all costs. Easy way to do it is shown in the screenshot below. Just change your values. After that install this config and set Affinity to all processors on DCS.exe UPDATED: Graphics_Config_Tweak link(also important, backup your options.lua, graphics.lua and high.lua, options is going into Saved Games forlder structure): http://www.oleg-kovalev.com/TransferCeption/DCS/VR_Fix/Graphics_Config_Tweak.rar Disable Turbo boost easy way. I hope it helps! Let me know if it does help in your situation, I would be happy if it does :) Atleast it`s a worth trying! UPDATE keep cpu at 100% min/max in power management, disable Turboboost in Intel app and disable hyperthreading: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3642156&postcount=5

Thank you for the advise and specs! :) Looks indeed a bottleneck on signle thread, due to absece of multithreading.

I`ve got Intel 6800k overclocked at 3.88 Ghz, but DCS never utilizes it at it`s fullest. I`ve got 64 GB ram. Other games run super smooth.

Guys, what`s wrong with DCS 2.5? I`ve just upgraded from 1070 FTW Hybrid to RTX 2080 Ti in a hope to get more fps in VR. But this game barely holds 39 fps and jumps all the time from 32-39, with continuous microstuters and lag... This is rediculous.. Atm, this game is complitely unplayable in VR (even with the highest end grapics card).

I hope that too! Have tried to contact him many times, but he has dissappeared. alieneye is right about Tu-22M3. It`s not like we won`t finish the model with all the lods, etc. We will, but without coders it won`t fly. Project has not been abandoned, no, it`s just that progress isn`t going at a speed I was hoping for. I`m still working on it from time to time, but due to lack of time & finance, that would allow us to dedicate more time, it`s getting quite complex, because in the end we need to eat. Also, me and alieneye had to work on a project that came in between, the new IL78MD-90A. Which was a complete HELL, after which I had a sort of burnout, because we had to finish model within 1 month. And modeling this thing, wasn`t easy, I was nearly ready to hang myself up. After that came first self produced short movie, which is finished now. But still, I work on Tu-22M3, but in my own tempo, no rushing. I take time to measure out details and recreate them as detailed as possible, with game oriented pipeline. So yeah, I hope Brian gets back online. But only time will tell. P.S. If you are interested in seeing IL78MD-90A, you can find it here: http://www.oleg-kovalev.com/portfolio/il-76md-90a/ Some screenshots of Tu-22M3:

UPDATE Update on today`s work. I`ve been busy tweaking surfaces of the base "Tail" mesh, took me a while to get to get them perfectly, so that light plays on them as on the reference material. Finally I`m at the point that allows me to add smaller object, details and cuts to the main mesh :) Greetings, Oleg
