I suffered badly with stutter in DCS 2.5.x. Previous versions were smooth. The ONLY thing that fixed it for me was @Kegetys' mod. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=215373

Flying the AV-8B on 2.5.2.19682, trying to get the TDC slew axis or down button to work and it crashed the game. Log attached. dcs.log-20180731-023836.zip

I can finally play DCS again :pilotfly: Thank you Kegetys :thumbup:

I spent some time looking at this yesterday. I did the whole delete save folder + clean + repair and didn't notice any improvement. Task Manager showed my GPU at <50% utilisation (often much less) and CPU around 30% when the game was stuttering and looking a mess. So it wasn't a limitation of my hardware. I bumped the quality settings up (textures, MSAA etc) and used Process Lasso to set high priority for DCS, and locked it to 2 CPU cores. Et voila - performance issues solved.

I'm struggling too. 1.5.8 and 2.2 were fine in VR but even on low settings I'm getting massive lag in VR with 2.5 :( Asus GeForce GTX 1070 Turbo, 16GB 2666 MHz DDR4, i5-7600K 3.8GHz, GA-H270-HD3, Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD, Oculus Rift CV1

A very interesting review. I'm surprised the difference between the Vive and Odyssey wasn't more marked.

Indeed. I just don't understand how a headset with 70%-ish more pixels could have worse clarity. Maybe it'll get better with software support.

Are you sure DCS was displaying at the native Odyssey resolution and not falling back to Rift or Vive res?

Great, thanks for the review @Spectre1986. I ended up buying a Rift for DCS but will definitely keep an eye on how the Odyssey progresses :thumbup:

According to this post you should be able to install SteamVR for WMR devices on Nov 15. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/11/windows-mixed-reality-headsets-get-steamvr-games-and-apps-november-15/

Does DCS use SteamVR? I thought support for Vive/Rift was baked in.

What's your delivery date? I've seen some places say they won't ship the Odyssey for another week.

Looking forward to your impressions.:thumbup:

Why do you say that? The Odyssey's resolution is higher than Vive/Rift and inside out tracking is fine for sims.

I received this response from ED about WMR headsets (I asked about Odyssey): "We do not have clear plans to support this device". :cry:
