We will probably look at Open XR once we get VR working correctly under Steam VR.

whoa, been away from this for a bit.  If VR is around the corner, I'm about ready to pull the trigger on buying this.  Keep on the good work!  ?

I was waiting to try the VR in clod on the normandy map... but seen what I've seen I think the normandy map will come out before in the BOS, so... I think clod is saved in the memory drawer again... .it's a pity..but it's moving slowly.

Blade, TFS updates weren't always few and far between, but yes, since I 'left' they have been. 

 

So they do the right thing now, frequent updates for people who are in betas, and non frequent updates for people who is in the stable version.

 

I hate games that release a version every week, a week is less than what the QoS people should be testing the update before release.

Hopefully, ASA issues with Steam VR have been addressed we will see videos of trueSKY with cloud layers, etc.

That ship sailed two months ago... but I did just read this quote, apparently from Buzzsaw -

 

June 17th:
"Anyone who wants to try out the VR Beta and who can show proof of owning a VR headset should message me.
Be aware I am very busy with the Visual Update and other work and therefore may take some time to respond."

How is the VR performance compared to IL-2 GB in, say, a quick mission with 16 aircraft? Has anyone tested it with FSR?

We are testing with all types of missions and with various numbers of aircraft.

 

At this point results are positive, with some VR Beta Testers reporting they are playing through the game Campaigns without a problem.

 

Performance with numbers of aircraft in VR when compared to GREAT BATTLES VR is similar to what is experienced in 2D.  That is, the same ratio... with the obvious understanding that VR is more demanding of both games... there being two sets of renders required simultaneously instead the one required for 2D.

 

There still remain issues, including some players still experiencing crashes, and we are working to identify causes and correct them.

 

The problems with Vive headsets has been fixed in cooperation with the Vive software team... it was their software which was an issue.  Our work to point out their issues has coincidentally improved the performance of VR in GREAT BATTLES and DCS.  (not that we planned to help DCS ? )

 

I will not get into the specifics of anything as the Beta is a beta and therefore a work in progress.

Thank you - Nice to hear that it's coming along nicely, and especially that the performance difference is similar!
Best of luck with the remaining bug hunts!

I had crashes in VR when I first started experimenting with undervolting. Definitely unpleasant   ?

Can you share if Vive's performance improvements have been released to the public via their software or are still in the works?

As far as I know the performance improvements TF made in collaboration with Vive are now part of Vive's release software.

 

You should see improvements in your fps in all types of games using VR... (i.e. GREAT BATTLES and DCS, CLIFFS too... but of course we are still in Beta)

 

TF is now working on improving Pimax's performance.

Hello Gasman and DevilCat

 

I and the other TF members working VR are very busy with other work related to the Visual Update right now, and in addition, we do not have a lot of new testing required on the VR Beta that has not already been done.

 

Once we hopefully make advances with Pimax and some other issues, we will need more testing.... I will post asking for more volunteers then.

Do you mean "sturmovik" is better than "sturmovik"? :)  indeed, Cliffs of Dover IS a "Sturmovik game":

I fly with Rift S, and I have a G2 not yet bothered with.

I fly bombers, mostly now trainingmisdions in Wellington SP, plan to fly saturday events if I get access. I cannot fly 2 d in my city house due to the vr setup. I fly 2d on my island house. Where from I am much more active.

I do not know if this is of interest. And do understand if I ain't getting access

If you are still looking for VR testers I have Cod Blitz on Steam and a HTC Vive Pro 2.

Buzzsaw

I would like to be considered a candidate for CLOD VR beta testing.  Please advise as to how one applies.  I have CLOD on Steam and fly on GB with the Oculus Quest 2.  

Thank you

You need both BLITZ and TOBRUK to use the VR Beta.

All those posting here asking for access, please message me.

 

You would also need to provide proof of ownership of a headset.

 

I may take some time to respond as we are very busy with other development work.  ?

Hi Buzzsaw,

 

Unable to DM as a new account, (I've been lurking without one as I'm a DCS player mainly and don't usually use foruns) However I am interested in joining the VR beta if possible as I've been playing with headtracking but I am an avid VR user with the quest 2.

 

Thanks in advance
