Are the mirrors broken for anybody else in VR? I just have some default masks, no mirror views.

Hi everybody, For Pimax users I've seen openxr/steamvr/changes, etc so I thought I would post what is working for me. Hardware: I9-9900k, 64gb RAM, RTX 3090, Pimax 8Kx at 75hz (could never get it to work 90hz) Pitool 1.0.1.280, Firmware 2.1.255.299 Panel: Native, 75hz Game setting: FOV Large, RQ 1, FFV close, parallel off, smart smoothing off, compulsive smooth close, hidden area mask checked. SteamVR: Motion smoothing on, resolution custom @ 5060x3160. Nvidia 3D settings: Image scaling: off Antostropic filtering, app controlled FXAA, Gamma: off Antialiasing: app controlled Max Frame rate: OFF --- this one seemed to solve any CPU bound frame issues. DCS: Everything is set to max/ultra (shadows are low), and my PD is 1.2. Very acceptable frame rates for me.

A little late to the game, happening to me as well. Flying Grayflag DFA/Syria. About 3 hours in, switching between F10 and F1 I start seeing stutters are Memory usage approaches 41-42gb. Then eventually SteamVR failes. Using an Intel I9-9900k, 64GB RAM, RTX3090 w Pimax 8Kx.

Hey there. I was interested in incorporating this with some other modern weapon entries for the F-14, but your LUA files are either encrypted or encoded in some odd UTF. Any ideas?

I went from a Pimax 5K to 8KX, have had 8Kx for about a year now. Put a counterweight on back of straps to help with ergonomics, and all in all am very pleased. FOV and resolution can't be beat.

Is it pure loss, or jitter and reassembly? A hotfix for debug/stats to drop in server log files would be helpful for ALL of us.

Thanks. Well, last couple of OB updates seems to have made it more prevalent. Various methods for resetting TACAN/ICLS aren't as reliable any more.

Hello all, I have searched for other TACAN reports, and I have seen TACAN/ICLS go bent on MP servers such as Hoggit/TTI. I fly with a group of folks (CSG-2), and we've seen this happen more often when multiple player units connect to CVN's TACAN. Scenario; F-14 and F/A-18 units (20+) return from mission within +/- 20 minutes. Heading to carrier all flight leads if not all AC tune TACAN to CVN. TACAN will go sour. We have tried various methods for resetting TACAN/ICLS on the carrier (trigger), and will be trying methods via the LUA interpreter directly this coming weekend. Anybody have guidance, or is ED already looking at this? Thanks, Doggo.

Yep! Should've said something. I found that and have the beta SSA installed. Thank you!

Does this pass IC??

See attached. autoupdate.cfg

Hi there, Was away for a few days. Ran DCS Updater, saw I was getting integrity check errors on some IC servers. On further inspection, DCS_Updater is showing acccess violations. Looks like it's downloading to the new _downloads directory under "DCS World", but unable to move the files to their destination directory. Anybody seeing this issue?

Great mission, have a couple of questions. In your TRT Core - Caucaso (Airboss) script; You define "A2A_REDCAP_TEMPLATE", and that is shown on map, and it should spawn a CAP in a zone, however I see InitRandomizeTemplate(RedCapPlanesLIST), and I don't see that aircraft template anywhere. Is there something I'm missing? Great scripts! Thanks.

Hello, While VR performance has improved, night lighting issues seem to cause headache inducing problems. There are two issues: Issue number 1 - See attached "night test.miz", in Persian Gulf (or any map) Lighting shimmer will render in one eye, but not the other. This seems to increase if bank angles are obtuse and not perpendicular to ground. Zoom in will resolve the issue. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E-uSYWCDqt6TGtAcjwbxcu7_cM7MMXsm/view The link above is a very good example of what this looks like. Issue number 2 - NVG overlay with wide FOV. Without 3DMigoto mode, the NVG overlay is >70 degrees outside of your FOV. 3Dmigoto is required to bring the NVG goggles back to viewable area. With previous release, 3DMigoto and settings below would remove the "shimmer", then last 2.5.6 OB, while VR performance was hateful, at least night worked ok. Level set of: Pimax 5K+ , PITool V1.0.1.258, firmware V2.1.255.255 DCS World Pitool Settings: Large FOV Render Quality: 1.25 GPU Catalyst: 0.00 Fixed Foveated Rendering: Conservative Compatible with Parallel Projections: Off Turn on Smart Smoothing: On Hidden Area Mask: On SteamVR Settings: Render resolution 38% - 5352x2536 SteamVR HOme: Off SteamVR Motion Smoothing: Off DCS Graphics; Textures: High Terrain Textures: High Civ Traffic: Off Water: Medium Visib Range: High Heat Blur: Low Shadows: Low Resolution: 1920x1440 Aspect Ration: 1.333_ Res of Cockpit Displays: 513 (or 1024) MSAA: Off Depth of Field: Off Lens Effects: None Motion Blur: Off SSAA: Off SSLR: OFF Preload Radius: Max Clutter/Grass: 500 Antistropic Filtering: 16x Terrain Object Shadows: Flat Cockpit Global Illumination: On Messages Font Scale: 1 Scale Gui: 1 Vsync: On Pixel Density: 1.5 (will turn this to 1.2 for performance) IPD: 56 Attached is a Persian Gulf Mission: "night test" Very re-producible with Pimax. Not certain about other headset manufacturers. Myself and a couple of other Pimax users have tried every permutation of settings. Too much deviation causes issues with SuperCarrier, so I would prefer to keep the changes down to a minimum as this appears to be an engine rendering problem. Please advise. Night Test.miz
