Mixed Reality Stream

Hey guys (and girls?)

I wanted to share with you guys something I've been working on for my stream, and probably future YouTube content. I managed to figure out how to do real time mixed reality streaming by having a real time static rear view shot of my plane shown behind me while streaming/recording. I tested it out live for the first time last night on Blue Flag and it came out really nice. There are some issues with the lighting and shadows here and there, and the performance of DCS tanks when on the ground and in multiplayer (i go from 80fps to about 30fps) But the immersion for the viewers is great.

Here are the VODS from last night (stream crashed so it got spit in 2)

And here are some clips from the mixed reality stream

Eventually I'll share this technique, gonna get some use out of it myself first (it's only fair) but also I need to spend some time tweeking it to get it just right, and maybe find a way to fix the shadow/lighting artifacts in the process.

Hope you enjoy.

It does look cool. Never seen mixed reality in DCS so kudos for making it happen :thumbup:

I forgot to mention it in my post, but I want to thank @Alex O'kean for helping me figure all this out, wouldnt have been able to do it without him!
