Just wondering, did today's Open Beta patch incorporate in part, or similar to, any of Kegetys "Shaders mod for better VR performance"?

Did not see anything of such mentioned in today's beta change-log, but, typically, not all changes make it into the DCS World change log. :D

 

I hope not as not everybody has issues with vr performance and would hate to be forced a downgrade in graphic fidelity when not needed

The patch isn't out YET, right?

Yeah, clouds now appear at desired (configured) altitude even if its a low one (like 900ft)...it didnt work before, nice to see this working again after sooo many time.

 

Btw, am I the only one who lost MANY key bindings in my warthog for the Hornet (at least) with this update??:huh:...never had this before.

 

Edit:Ok, Im not the only one.

Any details on the terrains update? What does it mean?

Anyone understand why in HTTP download it says ~35 GB, but below that in "DL Size:" it says ~11 GB?

Oh wow, 11 GB can transform into 35 GB, that's some serious crazy compression then! :)

Me too. Well, at least the Hornet bindings have gone. Some other are OK.

Nothing exciting, all under the hood, file structure type stuff.

 

So, no improvements we can actually see?

Bindings being lost has been reported on in a couple of other threads, mostly about the Hornet.

Oh crap, updated this morning but won't have a chance to fly again until later tomorrow or Saturday. Guess I could just launch it in non-VR mode and check the bindings right quick.

 

Edit: Yep looks like I lost some bindings on the F/A-18C.

 

I also notice that the footprint for DCS on my gaming SSD increased by almost 6GB since the update.

I wonder why that would be?
