doraymon Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I installed the shaders mod now but used DCS only with the monitor as my headset is on it's way back to HP. No significant change in FPS. I noticed however that the canopy reflection has almost disappeared and so have the sunbeams... If the mod is about cutting little things that make the sim realistic than I wonder if it makes sense.

Taz1004 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I wouldn't mind if they were small like the original oculus. But I would much prefer no additional base stations seeing how I only use the reverb for dcs once in a while and then usually that half life game. Vive base stations are far better than original Oculus. These you just put it up on a wall or tripod, plug into power outlet and done. No messing around positions and doesn't take up any USB. And once you have them, you can just buy headsets for upgrades. Valve Index and Pimax also uses Vive base stations. I am interested in the next HP headset as well.

You just use the provided link cable between the two base stations instead of using wireless. Still don't have to connect to USB. I hated that about original Oculus.

arturojgt Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi. I’m having an issue with the reverb, Inhave almost all the setting maxed out but I can only see the stone and other plants in the desert 60 meters aprox. in front and the textures are blurrier too beyond that point, I can’t see the center line of the tarawa beyond few meters of the harrier. Any suggestions? Dream Commodore 64C, 1530 datasette, 1541 floppy disk drive, DCS cartridge, competition pro joystick, 14” Tv with VCR.

doraymon Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Do you guys know what the MASK SIZE option in the VR settings is about (since the open beta update today)? Is it the same as the Shaders mod mask size option or is this different? I don't actually know what it even does, any of you smart computer guys know? I can't seem to find this setting (MASK SIZE), I am running SteamVR 1.11.13.

sirrah Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Quick question for the guru's out here: If I change my SteamVR SS settings, do I have to restart DCS to be able to see the changes? (I tried moving the slider from 100% all the way to 500% but I couldn't see any difference, both in image quality or framerates. I'm obviously doing something wrong here..

Motomouse Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Recently I dropped my bias for high supersampling. With the new build I prefer a low fidelity 100%SS 1.0PD setting. With shadows off I achieve smooth 60 FPS in singleplayer and multiplayer (with high textures, ultra visiblity range, ...). On the previous build I had to live with 40 FPS/ 30 FPS in multiplayer on the ground and 300%SS did not do any harm. But with the new build I am hooked to the 60 FPS. And to the folks who tell you it looks awful without shadows. Go out to the real world and look at the plethora of weather situations without visible shadows. I do not miss the shadows much after a short adjustment time.

Habu_69 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Crash While Dogfighting Since about Feb. DCS crashes (video freeze) while dogfighting in both 2.5.5 OB and 2.5.6 OB. In simple 2-ship BFM practice mission (Caucasus) I can chase a MiG all day until he goes vertical. As I pull up losing the horizon in lag pursuit, the video freezes and I get the dreaded DCS purple Waiting box. Anyone else with Reverb Pro experience this?

Hammer1-1 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I get the same waiting screen every now and then but pretty much while its loading up a large scene for some reason. I honestly think its a bandwidth issue; solving this might be nothing more than a PCI-E powered USB 3.0 hub that isnt one of the USB 3.0 ports connected to the motherboard.
