BOK is incredibly good! (and chaperone question!)

[Wolf8312]

I can't quite believe how beautiful it is to be honest! I almost don't want to praise it too much for fear of insulting the work that was put into BOS and BOM, but it feels like such a significant leap forward, that I wonder if it might be hard to go back to BOS now!

 

I think in VR too BOS just doesn't look as nice almost as if it's an older game, but it also shows that the devs seem to be improving not simply the game, but the VR aspect side of things, as from BOS to BOM, to BOK, the sim in VR seems to have improved with each installment.

 

I knew I would have to get BOK but to be honest wasn't expecting it to be as gorgeous as it is, and if you have VR you're going to have to get out your checkbook again because trust me it really is the best of the series so far! Fantastic job, and it's wonderful such a beautiful game can perform so well in VR as well!

 

On another issue, I cant seem to get rid of the chaperone in game I have tried altering the config file as shown below but it no longer seems to work anymore! Any ideas?

            "CollisionBoundsColorGammaR": 255)

Indeed BoK is gorgeous!

I am 60 missions into a Spit PWCG campaign over Kuban, and am loving every minute of it.

 

Chaperone - yeah there was a way once, perhaps there still is and someone else can help on that.

I tell you though I just got to where I hardly even notice it anymore. I am looking out the cockpit mostly rather than down toward my feet anyway. Guess I just got so used to it being there now I just don't realize it is there anymore.

I think it's gone dburne think all it needed was a restart of steam VR duh! Yeah am gonna have to download the PWCG cause dont much like having my ass handed to me in MP all the time, spend so much time in the DCS helicopters that I dont really know how to fly these WW2 planes properly!

What is better in BOK in VR?

I think it is more just the better map itself.

 

I flew over 200 missions in a PWCG campaign over Stalingrad, through all seasons, and thought it was beautiful too. But Kuban just seems to be a step up in graphics.

From where do I download it for some reason I downloaded the file named BOS and got rise of flight! The link on Jasons page gives me a 404 error!

Never mind think I've found another link!

Yeah a lot of it is just better more varied territory, for me it's little things like the roads with hedges on either side, but the oceans (and mountains) look fantastic too you can see the tides coming in and the water reflections are just wonderful! Some games look great on a monitor but you play them in VR and they look like a MILF in the morning sun (maggie may paraphrase). War thunder was like this for example! It didn't look nice up close in VR. 

 

BOS and especially BOK however just looks fantastic in VR, and when you add in the visual improvements over BOS (less jaggies and shimmering in general) it looks almost perfect in the new setting.

 

BOM I think shines because of the weather effects (but in VR was also visually improved over BOS), BOS because of the historical setting, but BOK is just purely a beautiful map. But it's also seems to me somehow tidier and cleaner to look at in VR especially compared to BOS and maybe even BOM as well. But that might as dburn says be all on account of it just being a better map. BOS and BOM are just endless expanses, so I imagine as well that it will be also a lot easier to navigate on Kuban! 

 

I haven't had enough time with it but these were my first impressions...

I recently had the chaperone reappear as well.  If you go into the steamvr developer settings and change anything, it will create a new steamvr.vrsettings file. Then go in and add the chaperone lines again and save and it should work again.

Thanks man got it working though now!
