Sim is still 40fps locked in campaign - everything is smooth though. How do I get it 80fps all the time. When in menu mode I do see 80fps Specs: i7-5820K - 4.4 Ghz OC, 64GB Ram, RTX 2070 Super, Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no system exists that can run 80fps in VR without lowering the graphic setting.

_Heater_ Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Shaders mod for better VR performance (experimental) Thanks I just used it - yep it is working. Sim is still 40fps locked in campaign - everything is smooth though. How do I get it 80fps all the time. When in menu mode I do see 80fps If you press RightCTRL + NumPad1 you can unlock the FPS, to lock again the FPS press RightCTRL + NumPad 2 When I’m above 10 Angels run RCTRL+1 to get more fluidity, when I run lower (500ft/2000) I press RCTRL+2 to get a good refresh rate and more optimization.

whisky.actual Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 What are the optimal combination for O+ users? I've got some NVIDIA MSAA (not in DCS), still objects outside the cockpit is a blurry mess. I've got Steam SS at 130%, no reprojection. Maybe something I can do with the _HMD.hlsl? Thanks!

speed-of-heat Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 without knowing your hardware or settings thats a problematic question, try my settings and see.

VR is an Odyssey + Quite a old rig, planning to upgrade, but I'll need to change most of the PC. In _HMD.hlsl, you want all the first section (optimisations) turned on (1). And all second section (improvements) turned off (0) MSAA and Shadows are biggest FPS hog. Turn them off. Set in-game PD to 1 and increase SteamSS gradually to acceptable FPS. Sounds like you are aware your system is below recommended spec for VR so you can't afford to have some of the luxury settings. And if you're planning to upgrade soon, I'd OC the heck out of your CPU. I don't mean be reckless, but carefully push it to its limit. Your GPU may have some OC headroom too. But if you want more advice on your system, make separate thread on Hardware section. Don't want to hijack this thread.

I plan to upgrade soon but my concern is that objects outside the cockpit will always be choppy and blurry. I can run the game, I've tried almost all the tricks, but post 2.5.6 nothing is helping anymore. I used to be able to run with 150% Steam SS, but now I can't go over 120%.

This is with or without the shaders mod. Same rig used to do quite well visually in far distance in 2.5.5 What does help for me is setting dcs PD to like 1.2-1.3 and steamvr SS to 120%. Image a sharper and fps is in mid 30s. A hardware upgrade is in line for me too, just waiting for the dust to settle with all the new line of cpu/gpu introduction.

ohyeah2389 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) EDIT: I'm dumb. If you are as dumb as I am, and also have this issue, turn ENABLE_SIMPLE_CANOPY off in _HMD.hlsl. I'm sorry if this has been answered already, but when using this mod with the latest version of DCS (I tried speed-of-heat's version too) the gauges in the A-10C II (and maybe other aircraft) have turned a milky white. Also, all baked in reflections are much more visible. Any idea which file is causing this? And yes, I made sure to delete my fxo and metashaders2 folders every time I made a change.

Adam Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 What does help for me is setting dcs PD to like 1.2-1.3 and steamvr SS to 120%. Image a sharper and fps is in mid 30s. Just curious why you set it in 2 different locations? I was under the impression that these two settings were identical as far as what is done behind the scenes (ie, upping SS to 160 and leaving PD at 0, or increasing PD by a decimal and leaving SS at 0 would be the same as what you're doing above. Or is there something special about mixing the two in that I'm not aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibotyson Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Heyy Guys i hope someone can help me. I get bad stutters in DCS. With every stutter the sound lags too. I noticed that the cpu utilization drops with every stutter. No difference between singleplayer or multiplayer. I tried to lower all settings but no difference in stutters. I disabled hotplug and game dvr. I play only in VR and with the VR preset settings i got 80fps locked for my rift-s with no ASW. My System: Zotac RTX 3080 Ryzen 3700x 32gb RAM 2400MHz.
