Got It working and looks like I reduced frametimes by few ms. It should help with Syria map while landing Huey in Bet-Lehem looking for penance and salvation for having a great idea to spend 1K Euro on GTX 3080 to be able to finally run this sim properly after almost 20 years of misery :D

I think you will be disappointed by how CPU bound is DCS still... there are tests on 3080 out there already and they aren't optimistic. But you will be able to up the details a bit. Powodzenia :-)

What is the chance of getting just the NVG portion of this mod working for IC Pass? ED really hasn't given much love to VR users in terms of NVGs, considering you cant look under the goggles. As someone with about 100h of goggle flying, this mod gets it closer than anything else i've seen in DCS or otherwise. Its just a shame it cant be used in multiplayer. Anybody got any ideas to make it work?

You can use the ic pass version in my sig, as discussed further up this page, there is also a link if you haven’t switched sigs on again

You dont need to delete the shader cache anymore...and if you did that, you need to give it quite a bit of time to rebuild the cache from scratch. Depending on how many aircraft and terrains you have, it could take upwards of 10-15 minutes. MOre so if you arent using an SSD.

Just FYI. ED fixed distant LOD tree normal issue with yesterday's update. They fixed it in code. And seems to conflict with this mod. So if you use this mod with yesterday's OB, the tree normals will be flipped and distant trees will have shading backwards.

 

I will take a closer look at the files of this mod to see exactly which file is causing it but is Kegetys keeping this mod updated?

@Kegetys can you have a look and update ?

Download file below and apply it on top of this mod to fix the tree shading issue.

 

DCS VR Shader mod Tree Fix

 

I also fixed error made by ED on line 166 of Speedtree5.1.fx. Looks like error in copy and pasting.

float diffFactor = diffFactor = saturate(1.0 - colorDiff / maxDiff);

Am I the only one NOT seeing a benefit from using the shader mod? In fact, I think it makes mine looks worse.

 

I'm getting a very nice looking 45fps, hi textures and terrain with or without the mod.

 

Am I doing it wrong?

How are you measuring “improvement”, I typically see between 2 and 3ms improvement in GPU frame times

If you're already getting consistent 45fps without the mod, of course you will not see improvement with the mod. A mod is not gonna push you from 45fps to 90fps.

 

Plus, you have to configure this mod per readme file.

Mostly from what I see, the in game FPS counter, FPSVR(Steam), and the SteamVR headset GPU graph.

 

Just not that much difference in the counters (GPU & CPU). What is very noticeable is the jaggy/shimmery look with the mod applied. Shadows, top of the HUD have jagged edges... not to mention sitting on the runway looking toward buildings and parking area (Nellis)
