SilentWarrior Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I got it working by doing the following two steps after installing the VR mod - I've only tested for the F-14 and the F-18 Revert file to original Bazar\shaders\model\functions\glass.hlsl Edit includes at the top Bazar\shaders\model\mirror_material.fx #include "common/textures.hlsl" #include "common/uniforms.hlsl" #include "functions/vertex_shader.hlsl" #include "functions/matParams.hlsl" #include "functions/impostor.hlsl" #include "common/shader_macroses.hlsl" #include "common/states.hlsl" #include "common/states11.hlsl" #include "functions/structs.hlsl" #include "functions/vt_utils.hlsl" That being said, the 2.5.5 update actually increased the performance on my system, the stuttering I usually experience was totally gone. Looking forward to the huge VR optimization in the next OB :thumbup: Modda Doesnt work for me :/ Maybe I am doing something wrong. Would you share your files?

MazerRack Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 No luck for me, either. Gets stuck booting up. Eventually I just force quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
average_pilot Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) I removed the 'model' folder from the mod before applying and it worked for me. Edited July 30, 2019 by average_pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modda Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) There were even more changes needed since last OB 2.5.5.32299. I've updated the dependencies in the Kegetys vr mod and it seems to be working at least on F/A-18, F-14B, Mig-21bis, M2000 Mirage, P-51D and A-10C. I haven't tested what the FPS impact really is from vanilla DCS. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1psMHQEFVNy26B6nnYHnwoEYxNclQBzOH EDIT: No doubt, with this mod I'm on pretty steady 45fps downtown Dubai at low altitude (some drops occurs when touching the streets). Without it it's more steady 30-35 with high's at 45.

DarkClown Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Tested this with my PiMax 5K+. Really helped FPS on the deck of the carrier. I'm running 150x SS and couldn't hold 45 (Brain warp on). Sitting at the start of the Caucus cold start carrier mission. After applying this mod I was able to hold 45 no problem. I did need to make this change in _HMD.hlsl: #define MASKSIZE 0.590f This got rid of almost all of the masking for the PiMax in Normal FOV. @modda is there a way to make the mask more oval to better mach wide FOV headsets? increasing to .59 meant the top and bottom had less masking than needed.

Note: With this mod it seems that you get excluded from the shielded servers for not having a pure DCS installation. modda i9-9900KS @5.2GHz | Aorus Z390 Master | MSI RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio | 32GB DDR4 3200MHz | HP Reverb G2 | TM Warthog | Logitech G Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a VivePro myself, looking forward to try out a wider FOV :) I've updated the _HMD.hlsl adding two factors for masksize and msaa_masksize. Find the apropriate width (x) first (0.59f) and adjust the height to higher with Y_FACTOR > 1.0 and lower with Y_FACTOR < 1.0. The values must be clamped to [0.0, 2.0] but close to the extremes will give a very useless viewport. If I understood your problem correctly you'd want it lower, try the y factors at 0.8f It seems to work as expected in my VivePro, but no guarantees :smilewink: Let me know how it works for you. #define MASKSIZE_X 0.525f // change this to adjust the size of the mask, 0.525f seems to be ok for the Vive #define MASKSIZE_Y_FACTOR 1.0f #define MSAA_MASKSIZE_X 0.25f // Mask size used for MSAA - area outside this circle will not have MSAA applied on it #define MSAA_MASKSIZE_Y_FACTOR 1.0f [/Code] https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bcsWJAyx7ClS0cziFLsF870EEXjeci-N Modda i9-9900KS @5.2GHz | Aorus Z390 Master | MSI RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio | 32GB DDR4 3200MHz | HP Reverb G2 | TM Warthog | Logitech G Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkClown Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Cool that did make the shape a bit closer to what is in the visible area. These are the values I ended up with: #define MASKSIZE_X 0.590f // PiMax Normal FOV ~150 #define MASKSIZE_Y_FACTOR 0.86f [/Code] The PiMax does seem to have a flatter top and bottom than the oblong oval: And my mom said I would never be an artist ;) Probably not worth investing any more time on it since the perf gain would be negligible at best, if any. Thanks for doing the work on this. This mod has a bigger impact on performance then the map changes that went into the OB.

But since the 2.5.5 update that stopped working I was disappointed. I tried to make it work but I did not get it: I do not have the necessary programming skills ?! In case anyone is interested: I prefer to keep the original "glass.hlsl" file. In this way I maintain the reflections in the cockpit dome and the sun does not make strange effects with cockpit clocks ... Maintaining acceptable performance.

Thanks for doing the work on this. This mod has a bigger impact on performance then the map changes that went into the OB. Haha, I think that art was awesome! :thumbup: Maybe it would be best to use a rectangle on those wide displays. You can try to the _HDM.hlsl with the following code. Use your regular MASKSIZE_X and experiment with the Y_FACTOR (it's just the height of the rect). I'll add it to the zip if you find it useful. // 0=Rectangle (experimental for wide FOV), 1=Oval #define MASK_OVAL 0 #define ENABLE_MASK 1 #define MASKSIZE_X 0.525f // change this to adjust the size of the mask, 0.525f seems to be ok for the Vive, both for Rectangle and Oval.

Does the mod break after keeping the original glass.hlsl? Modda ...maybe I do not explain myself well, thanks to your modification that I downloaded from your DRIVE no problem. I can fly again with the same fps as version 2.5.4...THANKS AGAIN!!! If I keep the file "glass.hlsl" the mod works perfectly and the sim is still looking perfect. Maybe I do not have so much improvement in performance but I prefer it: better eye candy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
