Ghost Pilots and Non-Rendering Small Ground Targets

[TCW_DirtyMike0330]

Sometime in the last 2 updates, I am having a weird visual bug in VR. When I spawn in at an airfield, I no longer see pilots in people's planes. Just empty cockpits. More importantly, when I am over targets, most of the time small ground based targets (like AA, trucks, etc) do NOT render in at all. Sometimes they pop up for a second at a glance, but mostly just invisible. Making it nearly impossible to kill them, of course. I have no issues with any other ground targets, like buildings, parked planes, etc and certainly no problem with anything airborne. 

 

I have done the basic steps like verifying integrity on steam and I actually did a full uninstall/reinstall of IL2, with the same problem. Any ideas? Would any graphical setting in-game be affecting that? This only started happening since I think 2, maybe 3 updates ago.

3090/5900x so in-game settings are all high+

Combine your VR center button with your game VR snap back to forward and if you want also the F-1 hop back into cockpit and you'll never experience the problem again.  Your headset is in communication with the game, by default will not render certain items when it thinks they are behind your view to save resources.  Your game view may be centered forward, but if you were to hop directly into steam waiting grid it would be looking elsewhere, hence the disappearing of targets.

I will try this next time I am on, thank you!

Also make sure in your steam waiting grid your centered in the line with the pointer, if your too far off your going to eventually have problems.  Pretty simple, hit settings on your WMR portal, mixed reality, environment, clear data.  Back to the portal and select setup room boundary, seated with your headset preferably on your head looking straight and press seated.  That simple.

Unfortunately, this did not work for me  I bound all the keys to my default VR reset button, ensured that I was centered (WMR first) and SteamVR as well. Pilots still disappearing from cockpits, small vehicles and AA as well. I'm going to try re-installing the game a 2nd time but this is a weird situation ?

Mike, with Pimax HMDs we can set center position and default orientation (for sitting position) there. Then we have to make same in Steam VR.

If those two are not at least similar (front direction) then we have wird problems in different games.

This is just a hint, if helps..
