Spitfire/Mustang - Gyro gunsight problem with prop and ASW (a solution!)

I did a little investiging the other day.

 

Turns out the problem with ASW and the gyro gunsight weirdness (like the video below) is related to the prop.

 

 

I don't think I've seen this pointed out before. I had even just assumed it was the fine lines of the gyro sight, or it's position in 3D space, that was causing the issue but when I sat in my spitfire on the tarmac the other day I noticed that it wasn't wiggling around... it was fine...

 

It was only when I started the engine, and even then, only when it changed from a 3D model to a rotating texture did it start having the problem.

 

So what's the fix? A lucky google search brought me to this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=179040

 

Half way through the thread "Tyger" creates a mod (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2306815/) that simplifies the textures for the prop in an effort to get better frame rates.

 

I think if we create a "empty/blank" texture for the prop it will solve all our problems!

 

I've reached out to him in the hope that he's interested in helping to create the textures. I've had a quick look at this original mod but there's more than just a simple "prop texture" to work with so I'm not sure as the best way to approach creating it.

 

If he's interested in helping hopefully we'll get a solution - failing that I'll endeavour to create one if no one else steps up to the plate to help out!

 

Ninja Edit: Turns out he's created other VR mods! https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?CREATED_BY=Tyger&set_filter=Y

 

Fingers crossed he can help :)

Good that you've found the solution though, instead of getting old while waiting for ED to fix this.

Some people have the same problems on IL2Bos, another solution was to make a 3dmigoto mod (https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/30556-3dmigoto-mod-vr/) to allow disabling propeller when needed. But I do not think that it should work for the Rift with DCS, as it does not use SteamVR...

I spend my time making 3dmigoto VR mods for BoS and DCS instead of flying, see https://www.patreon.com/lefuneste
