Totally agree, it's on my short list.

A sit/stand desk, office chair, and some cheap Hikig mounts for my VKB HOTAS. The rest is standard "work from home"

Nope. DCS is only available on the PC, and in VR only with an additional headset purchase.

@ i have the quest three so even with just that i cant i have to use a computer

@@Darthfader20 Correct. DCS is a PC game, I use a program called Virtual Desktop that connects my Q3 to my PC wireless.

That is what I do as standard. With Virtual Desktop connected, I launch DCS Standalone and toggle it to VR - it launches to VR. If you set VD to use the VDXR option - it will NOT launch SteamVR or Meta PCVR and instead just use VD as the OpenXR compositor.

same. i has mine set at 125 these days.

I guess I'll add my specs for reference, also played around with different codecs on virtual desktop H264+ seems to work best for me without glitching. Ryzen 7950X3D/7900XT/64GB DDR5

if you die in VR you die in real life.

@ ha ha I play a few first person shooters in VR. If I die…You would think I was really shot!

just works. Check to see if your HOTAS is detected in DCS, I'm always messing with bindings on my STECS and VKB NXT EVO - still daydreaming about an AH-64 collective...

I use Virtual Desktop running on my PC - VD is all wireless and does say it needs a good WiFi6 router and your PC wired Ethernet. I have a Wifi5 Google mesh router and PC on wired 1g and it works fine with VD settings shown in one of my other videos. HEVC compression (30800Ti in my PC) - 200mbps rate - follow the guides on the VD Discord for more tips.

@@brianveccAight thx 🙏 Cable doesn’t work anyways for some reason my app thinks it is a USB-2 and is recommending USB-3 (the cable is USB-C) so imma try virtual desktop

On the "LongShot Official Server" in DCS multiplayer browser. Instructions on how to start the operation are in the mission briefing and on the F10 map. It plays out live on the public server whenever someone starts it.

@@jamesmcd71 the built in record feature or an OpenXR mirror plugin for OBS seems to work just fine.

@brianvecc I'm so confused. I wanted to go to VR now that I have a GPU powerful enough to handle it. I was going to get the quest 3 when it came out, but I watched a few reviews, and all said the data transfer was a substantial issue. So now I'm looking at the Pimax light.

@@jamesmcd71 the Crystal Light connects to your PC direct, while Quest 3 needs to be attached wireless where there will be some compression artifacts using wifi or the link cable, but it's not terrible. You need a decent wifi router.

hahaha - "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. " No idea how that guy hid from AWACS until I got right up on him.

12700K, 3080Ti. 64GB DDR5 and a SSD

My settings work well for my hardware - the video just shows that - its not a tutorial on how to tweak VR - its a review of what I use. So many settings and changes specific to your setup and hardware that impact performance. Take what you will from the video and search up some performance guides - lots of resources out there.

That mission was designed by MajorSkum - another admin on the LongShot Public Server - not me - come join us anytime!

@@brianvecc Gotcha...I typed up his name and you were he first to pop up, thought maybe MajorSkum was your call sign. I was once becoming an NFO till a drunk driver did drunk driver crap, so I really enjoy DCS content. Still sub'd, I enjoy your VR content.

@@speedfiend74 Drunks are the worst, sorry to hear, but VR lets us all live what we never could. Shockingly the US DOD has not yet seen it fit to give me an A-10, despite me asking. You want to follow @MjrScumbag‬ too.

Looks like I need to start posting more videos. 😅

Nope. WiFi 5 - Google 2nd gen mesh - router is a floor below and PC is attached to Ethernet. I've got a newish video up with settings and specs.

was recording to find where in the mission they were crashing so I could edit and fix mission.

good catch - I suck at spelling.

I run DLAA and 4X MSAA - I'd like to NOT run DLSS but it really does help performance on my last gen GPU. No super sampling at all. Virtual Desktop in "Ultra".

i712700k, 3080Ti, 64GB DDR5, NVMe SSD - runs OK at 90 FPS in Virtual desktop , so with async time warp on I get a locked 45 FPS. Feels smooth and everything readable. I need a new everything - VR is really demanding in DCS.

not too bad. It was a huge upgrade for my Index, the pancake lenses in the Q3 offer much better edge to edge readability, so I think that helps a ton with feel OK in the sim.

The mouse is active, but I never use it in VR. The cursor I don't hide and it's locked into the last position I put it based on my VR head position, it fades away if it's not over an active control. I've got so many buttons on the STECS throttle and Cougar MFDs that I never a mouse (mostly)

I've seen that more when using SteamLink/AirLink instead of Virtual Desktop, but it could also be coming from the DLAA setting, it still has ghosting and issues in DCS. Try turning DLAA and DLSS OFF and see if that improves. Otherwise waiting for DCS updates...

Try lowering DCS LOD to .40

I am. VKB Gladiator NXT "Premium" as a left Omni throttle. Works great for the 2-3 different airframes I fly. Trying to get some muscle memory, but the VKB STECS is tempting me as my next upgrade... I've really liked the VKB gear, went and bought their MK V T-rudders and like those as well.

@@brianveccI have a VKB STECS Standard and I strongly recommend it. You will not regret buying it.

@@currololo Since this video I have upgraded to a STECS :) Can confirm it's pretty awesome. Couple of the new vids have me using it...

i7-12700K, 64GB DDR5 RAM, 3080Ti - using Virtual Desktop application to run DCS VR

entire communities built on tidal marshes before we knew how important they were to remain intact for flooding prevention. Just saw in the news this week Hampton Beach was flooded. Climate change is real.

no point in getting G2 over a Quest 3 now, G2 was barely an upgrade to Index in display, but IMHO the Q3 is a big step up in visuals.

Would not recommend the G2 trust me, I had one its not worth the money at all

I still get some shimmer on aircraft models and MFDs when scanning past them quickly, much reduced since first patch. I bought a Quest 3 - more to come!

it's less noticeable but is still there in certain cases - e.g. any movement between high contrast areas will have noticeable smearing - an aircraft against the sky or even cockpit edges against the sky. Granted it bothers me a lot less than with the prior patch.

This is on DCS Open Beta

It sad we d'ont have the date of 2.9 Lunch on Normal DCS and steam vertion

good point on cracking up all the settings in detail on right hand side - had been ages since I messed with those and had minimized them for multiplayer server performance. DLAA on does look better, on my machine feels like DLSS runs smoother - plenty more tweaking to do.

Did some more testing today my initial statement saying you need to add in force open xr is no longer true DCS starts it on its own now if you are using a valve index so that is good no more screwing with shortcuts. @@brianvecc
