T-Pap Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Would there be any benefit to having a HMD mask mod only and keep all of the regular shaders? The latest version of the mod doesnt seem to give the same boost and now it looks noticeably worse than the unmodded version. I appreciate the work you have done with this mod and look forward to future improvements. Really should be a part of the base game with VR mode is enabled. This is exactly what i was going to ask ! The HMD Mask works great for me and i dont notice it but i feel the atmospheric feeling has suffered alot . Things that made the look more immersive like the capopy shading , scratches etc are gone and at night it all looks bad ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrkrotchetyusn Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 This new shader pack has helped my machine immensely. However, now if I try opening a Persian Gulf .miz in Mission Editor, DCS gets stuck in the loading screen. Straight up flying a PG mission, no problem, looks amazing, runs at 45 fps on my nVidia Quadro P4000 (whereas before it would chug down to the 20s when flying low and fast through Dubai). Anyone else with this dilemma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Kegetys, thanks for the quick fix to the shaders. 2.5.6 looks great and is running butter smooth. YouTube | Kick | Twitch | My Gaming Rig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed-of-heat Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 No idea, I used ovgme, but that’s just a delivery engine, it’s the same mod, green shield.

wumas0201 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I just spent time testing this mod and found that this mod is great, can give us better performance than original one, but there are still some shutter. The performance in SP is OK, but not in MP. Too many shutter in MP, especially when many planes are crowded in the same place. I think ED must take responsibility to fix these issue for VR, not us. We have done our duty to tell them where the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paco2002 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I agree complitely with you womas. SP is Ok but not MP I've been using this mod for a while in MP and had no issues at all.

Biwi Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Hi, I did everything as mentioned in the readme and it worked BUT I was not able to see the brief screen at the beginning of the instant action missions, nor any other mission or multiplayer. I deleted DCS and the saved games folder, re-downloaded and re installed DCS but I have the same issue. What can I do to get the brief menu back? I cannot play anymore as I cannot click the "fly" button anymore and that sucks a lot... thanks in advance. Edit: well I actually found a workaround: I press escape 2 times and it acts as if I clicked on the fly button and I can play, but I still don't have the brief screen...

MPK Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hi, I did everything as mentioned in the readme and it worked BUT I was not able to see the brief screen at the beginning of the instant action missions I think this is a 2.5.6. bug.

laertesson Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Anyone know why my metacache would not re-generate? Making sure to delete FXO and metashaders2, the tweak seems to work in all regards but there is only the dcs.old folder which is renamed correctly, a new one is never created. DCS is running as administrator and I made sure it isn't read only, still won't regenerate a new metashaders folder, even after loading in a couple missions on the different maps. Asking because now this has persisted across multiple versions and two different windows installs for me, so I must be doing something wrong.

LtDanTailor Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 in "saved games/DCS.openbeta" are these two folders "fxo" and "metashaders2". I delete them, they will be recreated. Now to the installation drive... Eagle Dynamics/DCS World OpenBeta/Mods/terrains/"the maps you own"/misc/metacache/dcs I rename the dcs folder to dcs.old. Ready to fly.

omskTransmash Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I tried to make IC-Pass version of new 2.5.6 compatible shader mod, by swapping IC-Failed files with original one, but it gives me the following error (see the attachment) I dont know the original author, Kegetys allowed manipulating his mod or not. I looked through this thread but could not find related statements. If it is prohibited, I am sorry and will delete this reply as soon as I can. Otherwise, if anyone can help making IC-Pass version of this great mod, please help us! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
