UltraMFCD for DCS 1.5/2.0


Sgt_Baker

Recommended Posts

Is anybody else experiencing strange sometimes-nearly-works, sometimes-not-at-all, sometimes-glimmers-of-hope-but-no-cigar behaviour along the lines of that reported by Sobe?

 

 

Sobe,

 

As it stands the diag packages are plain strange. The only thing I can obviously identify at the moment is that your system barely meets the minimum requirements for running DCS, let alone uMFCD alongside it, which does require extra CPU/GPU/RAM on top of that which DCS gobbles up.

 

There are no obvious errors in the logs per se - just that things grind to a complete halt early on and never seem to recover. Most of the time I'm not even receiving the basics, such as the DCS log file, let alone the automated diagnostics from other processes such as looking at your monitor setup, export.lua etc.

 

A couple of things I can't see/you might want to try (and apologies if I've asked this already):

 

Are there any errors in the Windows Event Log when attempting to launch DCS with uMFCD?

 

Are you running any Antivirus software, and if so which one?

 

Quit everything else imaginable to free up ram before attempting a run.

 

Look at the Task Manager's performance section. Is the system's memory use exceeding your 8GB of RAM and/or are the CPU cores pegged at something close to 100%?

 

Does temporarily disabling TACVIEW and other export related stuff (rename your export.lua to export.lua.switchedoff) change anything?

From a theoretical standpoint the rendering of stereoscopic content is remarkably easy. The devil, however, is in the details of how that is achieved both by DCS and supported by whatever headset/API might be in use.

 

I'd give it a shot if I had an Oculus Rift, but with my previous experience in this industry I'm not about to rush out to buy one. The technology is still a few generations away from the maturity required to match even the stuff I was doing back in the early 2000s, so it'd really be a speculative purchase to answer this question as opposed to something I'd frequently use.

 

Have ED ever released details of the number of Rift users in this ecosystem?

Do you mean 3D or early attempts at VR? Or do you mean rendering something on monitors? I don't know if ED ever released the number of Rift users, but having used Rift, I believe we are one generation away from mass adoption. I say that for two reasons. New Rift (or Vive) will reduce the price of current gen HMDs, and (hopefully) clarity will greatly increase. The former will put VR in the hands of more people, and the latter will create more demand for VR content.

 

Once you experience VR for DCS, there is just no going back. It's amazing how your situational awareness changes *so* much when you have one to one tracking. It also allows you to use the terrain to maintain orientation. For example, you can use hilltops, valleys to orient to North. Something that (for me) is very hard to do with TrackIR and 2D monitors.

I agree with you regarding the situational awareness and immersion, and certainly that 2D-tracked solutions come nowhere close.

 

My misgivings concern the visual acuity aspects along with experience regarding that which the brain will readily reject when viewing stereoscopic imagery. The latter being accidental or implicit distortions in the image due to poor rendering design, non-ideal optics in the headset or incorrect stereoscopic setup; lack of ability to focus within the stereoscopic image (which will be a problem for some time to come); and movement-to-rendering time latency, which with current graphics engines can be in the order of 50+ms even on decent systems.

 

All of those factors combine to create the discomfort many people experience while using VR devices. It's just the brain freaking out.

 

Then, from the development perspective, there is the apparent lack of reliable standards for communicating with the headsets themselves.

 

Etc. Etc. I'm not attempting to rain on VR's parade here, but professional experience, from working on military-grade 3D/VR stuff, tells me that I'd be more irritated by current-gen VR than anything else.

 

:)

 

Edit: Regarding the visual acuity aspect, I reckon we'll be cooking with gas once headsets and graphics cards are pushing out >4K (3840x2160) per eye at 10-ish ms latencies and framerates of >60Hz

In other news, and with a wry grin in the direction of my last post, I've started work on network streaming of uMFCD displays. The primary design-driver is to keep latency (that word again) as low as possible. Initial tests appear to thoroughly exceed the inter-system design goal of 20ms passing-encode-transmit-LAN-receive-decode-passoff. Edit: That's PC-PC, not mobile devices.

 

Oh the struggles of paying attention to latency.

My signature specs are a little out of date. I just bought a GTX OC 1060 with 6 GB of memory. I have also increased my system memory to 16 GB. I have no issues running the A10-c using Helios, all the viewports active and 2 screens. Later today or Tuesday, I will try your requests

Trackir4 using the latest Trackir 5 software, Win10 Pro [Creator Update] updated from Win7Pro Pro 64Bit, Intel® Core™ i5-2500 3.30 GHz 6M Intel Smart Cache LGA115 , GigaByte GA-Z68XP-UD4 Intel Z68 Chipset DDR3 16GB Ram, GTX MSI Gaming 1060 [6 GB] Video Card, Main Monitor 1 on left 1920x1080 Touchscreen Monitor 2 on right 1920x1080 .

I got you. I think the trickery of async time/space warp really helps with nausea on today's VR. But instead of 4K per eye, I'm really hoping foveated view will save the day. That's how our eyes work, so hopefully it'll save the day.

 

As for military grade VR, I would hazard a guess that it's probably inferior to Rift/Vive. I've never used the former, so it's purely a guess on my part. However, I was in the military and used Simnet with Sparc stations on each M1, Bradley, F16, Apache Simnet stations. And the graphics was just basic polygons. It was still cool as hell, but I remember thinking "Falcon 3.0 is soooo much clearer/better" But then again, you really can't beat the immersion of Simnet hardware! :)

I ran the latest version you sent me and no joy. attached is the jpg file showing 53% cpu and 47% memory utilization.

 

I paused the virus checker, Kapersky so it would not run.

 

Here is your diagnostic report:

A new version is available. Please visit ultraMFCD.com

 

 

Configuration problems? False

 

Async wait completed? True

But instead of 4K per eye, I'm really hoping foveated view will save the day. That's how our eyes work, so hopefully it'll save the day.

 

Our eyes look around within the headset, so you'd still need fovea-level resolution within the entire visual frustum presented by the hardware. ;)

 

I know what you mean regarding oldskool VR sims, although I didn't work with those in terms of the sim software. We were an R&D lab working on Gen++++ stereoscopic display hardware, so concentrating much more on the physical and physiological aspects of things.

Hey Sobe,

 

Still seeing inexplicable strange behaviour, although that was the most comprehensive diagnostic pack generated hitherto. UltraMFCD needs to read a bunch of DCS's files in order to function, yet in your case is simply not reading/seeing some or all of them, seemingly at random.

 

Your DCS log does contain some errors and warning relating to DCS and not uMFCD that we don't usually see from other users.

 

While it's super-invasive, all I can think of at this point is to disable all mods, repair DCS and see whether that works, then reintroduce other mods until something breaks.

I ran the latest version you sent me and no joy. attached is the jpg file showing 53% cpu and 47% memory utilization.

 

I paused the virus checker, Kapersky so it would not run.

 

Here is your diagnostic report:

A new version is available. Please visit ultraMFCD.com

 

 

Configuration problems? False

 

Async wait completed? True

2.6.8 is working really well but when I try to open the kneeboard with shift+k, it opens inside the righft mfcd on my second screen.....not in the 1st monitor. I´ve only tried in the a10c.

 

Ah yes, I keep meaning to fix this one. What are you using the kneeboard for, out of interest? You are aware that uMFCD comes with a bare-bones implementation of a clickable/draggable kneeboard with all the airport charts?

Thanks bouncerj21,

 

Owing to human nature, people are far more likely get in touch when there's a problem. I do sometimes wonder whether things are going catastrophically wrong on a broad scale and people are just keeping quiet about it.

 

:)

Hi Sgt_Baker

 

Just wanted to say a big thank you for this and the continued support. The new Beta version is working perfectly for me and I'm loving the new additions

 

Thanks

Hi Dan,

 

Yes, it is out intention to support all aircraft. However, I need to drop $300 just to start work on the current unimplemented modules alone, an thus have to look at ways of making uMFCD pay for itself. To put it even more succinctly, the baseline expenses (excluding time and effort) of implementing features requested hitherto is well in the the multiple $1000s. Definitely non-trivial! :)

...What are you using the kneeboard for, out of interest?...

 

I apologize for giving one anser to that question, even if not directed to me. The kneeboard provided by uMFCD unfortunately don't have the planed route on the maps or marking functionality for what I remember (been a while since I tried it)

The fix for this is rather trivial. The reason I've not got around to it yet concerns my mammalian brain. If I can't see it, it doesn't exist. :D

That's what my wife keep saying about me all the time, especially when looking for something in the fridge

 

 

A follow-up issue:

Can one use uMFCD with aircrafts like Huey, Mi-8 and Viggen, only for the kneeboard that is?

If possible, how about mission and aircraft specific kneeboard pages vs uMFCD?

Once the fix is implemented, the DCS kneeboard will behave just like any other uMFCD export, and should be available from all aircraft regardless of whether other display exports are implemented for said module.

Excellent, thanks!

Now hurry up on finding a way how to pay for it!

It's nice to get it for free, but if some income would help you in your work it's definitely worth paying for.

No, i'm not even sure they would know. There's massively different market groups with different spending power. Would be unfair if I said four out of 6 of us in my group had one, but I do come across owners regularly, so it's not a small thing and a lot of activity takes place amongst owners on the forums.

 

In terms of a fair reply to the standard of what you get from say, the Rift, It's not as bad as you might think, whilst not much better than some of the things available to play with 7 years ago found as centre peices in exhibitions. The warbirds with steam guages are largely not suffering from the reduction in detail, whilst digital and small readouts such as the keypad of the Mirage can be painful to try to deduct. Spotting aircraft, whilst lessened isn't bad either, with a view of many miles. I'm tempted to say that the next resolution of display will struggle with hardware of appropriate strength before the 4k screen is an issue to mass produce, performance is something you notice in DCS. The gains against the losses though, swing wildly in the favour of having rather than waiting. I'd hazard a bet that if one landed on your desk you'd be writing something for it inside of 30 minutes, it's that compelling.

 

Now....to make that happen, that is a challenge :)

From a theoretical standpoint the rendering of stereoscopic content is remarkably easy. The devil, however, is in the details of how that is achieved both by DCS and supported by whatever headset/API might be in use.

 

I'd give it a shot if I had an Oculus Rift, but with my previous experience in this industry I'm not about to rush out to buy one. The technology is still a few generations away from the maturity required to match even the stuff I was doing back in the early 2000s, so it'd really be a speculative purchase to answer this question as opposed to something I'd frequently use.

 

Have ED ever released details of the number of Rift users in this ecosystem?
