capthaltli Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 From the newsletter today! Virtual Reality Update We see VR as an amazing tool to enjoy DCS World and the future of PC gaming for many. To make DCS World even better, we’ve been working on some great VR improvements that include: Optimized VR performance. Touch control that allows direct finger interaction with cockpit controls. Touch control to allow the right and left Touch controllers to act as stick and throttle when positioned correctly in the virtual cockpit and holding down the middle-finger button. These will provide a much more immersive VR experience, particularly for those flying warbirds and other aircraft that do not require HOTAS controls. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3706594 Really hope to see better perfromance and direct finger interaction! Hope they post some video of this soon. [sIGPIC] "GOONIE" [/sIGPIC] "GOONIE" CSG-1 VFA-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obious Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Whilst I think it'll be fun to try out the use of touch controllers, I think long term I'll still be using my TM Warthog. I'm more interested in the 'Optimised VR performance'; I wonder if this means they'll be incorporating some sort of official shader mod or some other improvements/goodies. Also, there's no mention of a release date, unless these have gone out/going out with the next open beta?

Hippo Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 "Optimized VR performance". I'm starting to get excited. Let's have some more details please ED! Thank you ED. Great to get some official good news on this, following the severe performance drops incurred, especially in VR, when the switch was made to deferred rendering. The Touch stuff sounds intriguing, it'll be very interesting to see what sort of implementation can be achieved. Although personally, I'll be hanging on to my HOTAS, it's great to see this sort of VR innovation. I think Oculus prefer to call it the "grip button". For some reason middle-finger button sounds slightly rude to me ;) System spec: Intel i9 13900KF @ stock, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming OC 24GB GDDR6X, Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4, Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO SL 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3600MHz C18, Samsung 980 EVO 500 GB NVME M.2 SSD (system drive), Samsung 970 EVO 1 TB NVME M.2 SSD (games drive), Cooler Master ML360 Illusion CPU Cooler, Asus XG43UQ Monitor, Oculus Quest Pro, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneSlip Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The question is when? On FB they responded that not in next update. Wondering why mention something if it’s not that close to release. Just thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacken Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm going with incorporating the shader mod. That'd be my guess. I really really hope that’s not what ED are referring to. That mod is not good IMO. Visually i find it poor. I occasionally install it, remember what I don’t like, and uninstall. I’m sure ED have something better to offer us.

I hope it will be something even better too, but I would still take the mod if not.
