Using set g_nVRRepeaterMode 2 in the config, which was suggested to me by somebody in discord. It changes your 2D screen preview to show both eyes. It does mess some things up in VR though, like where the ATC selection is etc.

@Virus yes The AVCS 4 BMS is like Viacom for DCS but better, easier wildcards (more ways to say same command) and FREE and still supported. Although I think I heard Vaicom is going open source now that he isn’t developing it anymore…

@zackbo If you absolutely do not need to access the dashboard, disabling the “VR Dashboard on System Button” setting will make it not appear when launching SteamVR. It also means your motion controllers lose the ability to open the dashboard too, if you want to play other VR titles.

Alternatively if you wish to keep that setting on, create a shortcut and input this as the target

vrmonitor://debugcommands/system_dashboard_toggle

Every time you run the shortcut it will toggle the dashboard without the need for controllers.

corrected

Try setting “set g_nVRRepeaterMode 2” in the config file, see if that helps. It will mess with radio messages popup and other positions of things while it’s active btw.

For anyone having the issue where the cockpit is moved to the right, switching the HMCS to the left eye fixes it.

Hey, update. For now it helped and looks like the CTD is gone for good. I went radical and change the ram speed to stock 2400mhz and undervolt my 5800x3d and decrease 100mhz in the 3090ti GPU and MEM. I have been using AA at max and OBJ at max and it keeps stable.
Thanks to all with the inputs!
Cheers!

@CriticalMass it works with opentrack (so not VR) too? Is there anything special to look out for or does it just work out of the box ?

Thx JayB

Yes, I don’t have VR.

It’s been a bit of trial and error, but I have it set up with:

Games Tab: Point to Falcon BMS.exe Rendering API = Direct 3D (Non-VR) Input settings: I have a Wacom so I set Wintab to Standard I map a key to open and close the kneeboard (this might be a minimum, i.e. it might be hidden by default). I also map keys to move between tabs and pages I map some buttons on my hotas to also move between tabs and pages

I think that’s it.

@Atlas 🤣

I can confirm that hud brightness in vr is lower than without vr. This is on quest 2.

“Meta Quest Pro’s headset due to it being productivity focused already has this style of facial interface from the factory…”

You’ve lost me. What do you mean by the phrase?

Designed for look under so you can write things down, etc. One other advantage of this physical mod, I used to use VRK and a drawing tablet in DCS when I was hardcore VR. Now I can use my Android tablet as an EFB and still even write/read on paper if I need to.

They actually sell a full traditional complete seal facial interface for it, but it isn’t included.

@Snake122 Not really re: dark issue. It’s just that the TV is an OLED so best enjoyed with minimal separate light sources. I’ve got a few switches for my right console and getting to them is more of a touchy-feely muscle-memory type thing, same for my physical ICP. Coming from using a touchscreen with Helios, having to grab the mouse to access other buttons is starting to be an issue; definitely can’t wait for PointCTRL to be implemented!

I get that! I have a button box of just that, commonly used switches like Master Arm, refuel door, etc. that I can go by complete feel. I’m still not good enough to use the ICP completely blind but switching to a 1:1 ICP over the Logitech G13 and adding a few drawer cushion bumpers for more tactile feedback if positioning has helped.

@glide Perhaps that’s what generally may happens. But I 've never noticed such crash with any other usb device working with BMS, when I had to remove it for some reason. Anyway, just mentioning that. If VR works that way, it works that way. Thanks!

@SOBO-87 This is a good point, because if I fly the approach with FPM in the middle of the AOA bracket and correct to 11 to 13 degrees during flare the visibility is Ok and there is no need for resetting VR view. I think that my question about seat hight adjustment functionality has been cleared and thank you all for your inputs.

@Japo32-0 @fredemmott’s OpenKneeboard will do this, although the transition from what I used to use in DCS of VRK has been hard for me and honestly with my look under physical mod I can write like normal on paper, iPad, etc. For those apps, you’ll need a writing tablet (NOT iPad type device). If you are ok with a wired connection, my favorite for price, goldilocks size, and mappable buttons is the Huion H640P.

@airtex2019 Thanks! Seems like that box has to be ticked otherwise the Launcher will not edit the .cfg file to go into VR. Either that or go manually into the .cfg file and change 0 to 1 or vice versa.
