And maybe I’ll get in touch with Bogey Dope about a BMS version.

Unless I’m missing something crucial, this could already be used in BMS, no?
It’s not linked to any BMS specific item AFAIK. It’s just a series of audio auto-replies on sentences you say.
If you activate this in your VA and say the same sentences during BMS ramp start, you get the same replies.
According to VA FAQ’s you can even import another profile into yours. So I assume you could merge your own BMS VA profile (for ATC comms etc) into the vCrewchief profile and go.

@sepruda

Congrats you made it through!

If you wanna learn more, get into multiplayer to meet other people and fly/learn from them. Flying with humans will enhance your BMS experience for sure.

All other suggestions are great as well.

This.
You learn faster with others and the immersion/fun level is way higher when flying with other humans.

@Nightflyer said in Virtual crew chief:

When he checks the trimm the chief response what trimming he see on the jet for exampel

I highly doubt that.
As far as I can see it’s just one sound file for trim, playing in sync with what he’s doing in his pit. If he would do the order differently or slower/faster; the audio would just be out of sync; no sign of any link between DCS logic and VA responses.

@Kavelenko said in Virtual crew chief:

Nah they’re cleverly timed .mp3 voice files. For the “Ready for Start 2” command it plays two voice files 75 seconds apart. Sounds great!

This.

@Ricky said in Virtual crew chief:

But isn’t he also reading some states of the plane? Like the position of the control surfaces, the brakes, the nozzle, etc.

Nope, I downloaded the profile and looked at the sound files.
If anything goes wrong on the ramp start (i.e. hot start & engine fire) or you don’t follow his exact order (wiggling brakes and stopping, or the trim check order), the respons won’t match what you are experiencing or doing
So it can be used in BMS as well, as long as you don’t mess up the startup and follow brakes/trim checks in the same order as the crew chief replies.

@macemi said in VR: best settings for visuals, spotting and performance on low spec hardware (1080 Ti and 10600K):

Example on G2:

object detail 1, 1.3 VRResolution f16 will render at 8.3nm
object detail 7, 1.0 VRResolution f16 will render at 9.3nm
object detail 1, 1.0 VRResolution f16 will render at ~5nm

Weird. I tried this (object detail 1 in UI, VRResoluton 1.3 in settings). Would not render even a tanker outside 1nm

Another weird issue. I have all shadow mapping set to 0, still I see shadow/sun effects in my pit.
I’m certain the config file is being read cause other parameters I change I do see the effect of.

Question on upscaling & nvidia settings.

So, got a Pico4 but still running an old setup (i5-4670K CPU, 8GB RAM , 1TB SSD, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti).
When running it with my simpit (4K main screen, 3x 10.4" + 1x 4" screens) I usually get a pretty descent FPS (70-90) with ok settings (shadows or environment mappings not disabled or anything).

However, in VR my FPS is terrible. Around 25-30 max with all stuff disabled that is mentioned in this thread.
So I’ve been reading this topic and some other forum posts on ideal settings in steamVR, Pico streaming assistent and I’m a bit confused now on what I should alter where.

Upscaling.
Keep BMS at 1.0, SteamVR at 100%, Streaming assistent at high instead of ultra? VR Performance Toolkit to 0,7 or 0.9? Or set BMS to 1.4, steam vr at 60% for example.
So many places I can set an up- or downscale I’m not sure what is best and I’m not doing stuff double or triple.

Nvidia settings.
As I understand it, BMS renders and sends to SteamVR, SteamVR sends to Streaming assistent, and that sends it over my UBS cable to the VR headset.
So what application do I need to chose to start fiddling with anti alias etc? BMS, Steam, Streaming assistent?

Searched for Nvidia config topics but they all seem rather old. So upping this for 4.35 & 4.36. Would love to see some best practise settings.

I have a Gforce GTX 1070Ti on Windows 7 (I know…).
Running 40" 4K screen directly on the card (plus 4 smaller screens on my onboard graphics card for extractions).

@LorikEolmin:

Ironing yourself can help a lot too.

I tried that, she wasn’t happy with the results, so I’m banned from ever doing that again.

Use a headset, plan your flights when she’s out or watching her favourite feel good series while ironing or something, get a mancave.

I’m lucky she allowed me to have a mancave and do weird stuff. The only thing she asked me to stop doing, was requesting taxi permission and landing permission when driving the car in/out the garage

I’ve been using RTT for the MFDs, but still YAME for all the rest because I like the photorealistic gauges a lot more then the alternatives.
