Kegetys Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 I was told the mod got broken again, I did a quick update for the latest DCS beta (2.5.5.41371, link in the first post). Not tested much but looks like it works with a simple merge of the changes. As a cyborg, you will serve SHODAN well http://www.kegetys.fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed-of-heat Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 if you go into the red shield and click it, on the Multiplayer tab, it will tell you which components are causing you to fail the IC, delete those files BEFORE you apply the MOD: 1) Apply the MOD, I use OvGME 2) look at the red shield and write down the bits that are breaking it 3) roll back the MOD, easy using OvGME or just follow the Readme instructions 4) remove the offending files 5) re-apply the MOD SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel Corei7-12700KF @ 5.1/5.3p & 3.8e GHz, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Dell S2716DG, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagilem Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Decided to jump in and try this. I dropped my frametimes over dubai almost 5 ms on average. Wonderful! My only issue is that when flying over a coastline in PG, I see tan twinkling boxes (same color as the coastal sand) between the coast and the sea. Its like an xmas tree light string following the coastline. Has anyone else seen this? I've searched here but haven't found the right key words yet to get results that may give me a clue on how to fix... I am going to undo all mods, repair, then just re apply the shader to see if that fixes... Any help here would be most appreciated. EDIT: Tried the above outline of actions with no discernable change in the xmas string light effect at the coastline.

The ‘twinkling boxes’ are just one of the visual degradations when using this mod. There are many others, e.g. loss of ‘shallows’ at coastlines, horrible grass, loss of aircraft external detail, degraded trees appearance, etc. You don’t get something for nothing! I gave up on this mod a long time ago.

Nagilem Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) @imacken - With MSAA x2 on with MFAA and Cockpit shadows at medium and able to still have downtown Dubai race by with frame times averaging in the 17ms range with no red, I think I can live with and work to tweak away the xmas lights on the coast. I am also getting some artifacts at my extreme peripheral vision. Noticeable at night, but not a deal breaker for me. I get that others may not like or find these issues to be too much of a hassle for the gains one can get. VR in DCS is a list of compromises. For me, with the stock stuff in place, I still get artifacts on the coastline - a ghost grid effect, so the compromise is a trade of one artifact for another. Anyone else have some ideas for fixing the xmas string light effect on the coast? I'm going to try turning up the overall SS and remove the MSAA and MFAA to see if it gets better. The xmas string effect seems to happen more at mid altitude and when the coastline turns farther away from horizontal. If I zoom in on the coast, view the coast above 25k ft in altitude, or fly perpendicular to the coast, the effect is significantly minimized or is non-existant.

Scooternutz Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I have tried just about every combination to get rid of the water horizon jaggies. No luck. It is not consistent either. Sometimes at a certain bank angle they go away. At higher altitudes it turns into a grid looking thing. Went back to MSAA at 4 and SSAA off.

speed-of-heat Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) The current mod, works natively, you don't need to change anything... You might need to re download the latest version. If you want to just use canopy... Comment out // #define ENABLE_HMD_MASK 1 // Enable hidden area masking for HMD (adjust MASKSIZE to fit your headset) //#define ENABLE_SIMPLE_SHADOWS 1 // Use less samples in shadow mapping //#define ENABLE_SIMPLE_GRASS 1 // Simplified grass #define ENABLE_SIMPLE_CANOPY 1 // Simplified canopy glass //#define ENABLE_DITHERING 1 // Use dithering in HDR tonemap to reduce banding, These lines in_HMD.hlsl...

The Highlander Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Yes i was kinda thinking to pass IC as well, maybe a simplified mod for the glass canopy benefits and the msaa mask would be enough for a lot of peeps getting into vr in dcs and still keeping IQ really high,, i may do some tests myself if i get time, just busy at mo,, thanks for your input stuart ps also found a lite version but old version of same mod called KegetysVR_Lite it was using less effects with better vis quality, maybe swap out newer versions for same files from lite mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwayman-Ed Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Haven't used this mod in ages, but decided to give it another try today. I don't know which tweak does it, but it's fixed the screen flickering issue that was introduced in the open beta a few builds ago, and my wing vapours and LEX vertices are working again! I also don't notice the clouds in the far distance popping in and out of one eye quite as much as with the stock Open Beta either. I do however need to disable the Simple Shadows as they're way too dark, like the interior of the cockpit that isn't in direct sunlight is black... (Edit: I found this happened because I'd let the shaders compile in Desktop mode first. Deleted them all, and re-compiled in VR, and they were normal again) Edited January 28, 2020 by Highwayman-Ed Intel i9-9900KF @5.2GHz MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon 32GB G.Skill Trident Z DDR3200 RAM MSI RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio 40" Panasonic TH-40DX600U @ 4K Pimax Vision 8K Plus / Oculus Rift CV1 / HTC Vive Gametrix JetSeat with SimShaker Windows 10 64 Bit Home Edition [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
