- Hello And The Warmest Welcome To EGGRO VR :)
It is now 2023 and there has been a Major Update On DCS !
2.8 is a very welcome update with some new and exciting features
have been added .
With this all being said ...some of us are feeling left behind with
regards to Hardware expectations to enjoy a smooth VR experience
in DCS.
I have spent countless hours adjusting my settings accordingly to
remedy this issue that many of us are having with Update 2.8.
I am VERY pleased to bring positive results to the table, that I am certain
will benefit us ALL , that are using an HP Reverb G2.
In this video I share with you said results with my VR Gameplay Footage
using an Overlay to show results, while flying the AH-64D - F-16 Viper
F-18 Hornet -P-51 Mustang and the AV-8B Harrier in the South Atlantic
The Channel and Nevada Map.

This is by far the best Reverb G2 | DCS settings video on CZcams. Criminally under subscribed. Although I settled on different settings to yours, you have provided the best baseline to begin tweaking from for your specific taste / hardware platform. Thanks a heap.
Hello Blue :)
Thank you so much for the kind words !
It's funny with each update ... After each DCS player establishes their settings baseline , the adjustments are not so challenging , although at first it is very intimidating and time consuming 😱.
Once we are all there , that's where the fun begins 😍
Fly safe my friend 🦅
I share in the sentiment of appreciation for this video-Greatly.
My only suggestion is when you talk about each setting move your mouse around whatever setting you are on for a visual indication of what you are talking about-Would help a lot with following along and not having to rewind to find what setting you are on.
Tysm for video!
Best video I've seen on DCS settings. Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much Phil for the kind words and the visit 😁
Best of luck and as always

Hey; Eggro! Good to see you; man! I ended up getting a new laptop. Got myself a HOTAS control setup, DCS and MSFS!
Yo Buddy 👍 Long time 😁
I hope that things are good!
By the sounds of it , they're fantastic .
I'm super happy that you have joined the Virtual Pilot Community .
Welcome my friend 👍 We'll have to colab and fly some missions together sometime if your down for that .
Fly safe brother ..we'll talk soon 🦇
Great video man! Just replaced my Index with an HP Reverb G2 this week and applied your settings. Runs perfect and much better than my Index. At least, I can read my cockpit indicators!
Thank you Guy !
I really appreciate the feedback 💯👍
I'm very happy that this guide helped with the transition of HMD's.
The FOV is smaller on the G2 but the resolution is pretty fantastic .
Enjoy your new Headset

Yea I have a rtx 2070 8gb super. I7 2600 base board I actually have got a brand new one. Hp reverb g2. And dcs is on its own 1 tb SSD. I also use opencomposite and the toolkit can't wait to try the settings. Cheers bud
@@johnwalsh1879 I agree 👍 I have not looked back neither after buying the G2 !!
For me it has been a night and day difference in visual clarity / immersion.
Open Composite and OXR Toolkit looks insane using CAS 😱 I've tried both Nis / Fsr but switched back to Steam VR for stable frames at these settings provided.
Good luck 👍
Keep me in the loop as to how this all works for you
Cheers bro 🦇

@@HeliShed Thank you so much 💯😁
@@eggrovr2733 Welcome Pal.
Thanks for the information - I am running DCS with OpenXR with the MT client, but many of these tips were helpful regardless. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to optimize my G2/DCS VR setup. The biggest piece of advice I could give everyone is to start with everything default. Play one of the "Free Flight" missions, and note your latency and FPS. Make single adjustments at a time, take notes, and keep working to find the right combination. Also note that, when using things like the OpenXR toolkit and OpenXR Tools for MR, many of the settings across those and DCS can interfere with one another. I ended up with a mess, haphazardly following every post to "check this" or "uncheck that". I run with my 4080 at 125% rendering resolution and NO antialiasing, which makes for a good, clean visual quality and smooth framerates. If you can render it at a higher res and scale it down, that has its own AA effect.
Thank you Mike 😊
Welcome to EGGRO VR !
I couldn't agree with you more .. I feel that everyone that is having a hard time optimizing their settings , should step back to default and slowly adjust each setting to find the sweet spot ...and Always keep tabs on the results of said adjustments .
I've recently upgraded to the 4090 and was able to bump up WMR Render Scale to 120% and a few other adjustments to maintain a stable 90 fps using OXR as well .
Good luck Mike :
Thanks again for the comment and Sub!

Great video. Completely agree with your views on OpenXR vs SteamVR. Flying Warbirds & Helos mostly, with a G2, 3080Ti, i7-11700K & 64GB RAM, & the awful artifacting that's caused through the rotors & props with OpenXR is a complete deal breaker for me. Like you I tried absolutey everything in OpenXR & no ,matter what I did, I couldn't get anything as smooth as when using SteamVR. Your settings though, has helped my SteamVR setup even more. I can now even get acceptable framerates in VR on the channel map so many thanks to you.
No Baz , Thank you 👍
The reassurance that I'm not the only one ...that is not completely drunk from the Koolaid 🤣 is just what I needed to hear .
I literally just spent another few days trying to make OXR a smooth experience, but I always end up back using SVR , atleast for the time being .
Thank you for the kind words Baz !
I'm happy that the settings provided , helped with a frame boost .
Fly safe my friend 🦇
I have the same hardware setup as you. What settings fid you use?
Happy New year bud. Took your advice last year got rid of the quest 2 and bought a hp reverb g2 and never looked back. Amazing..look forward to trying these settings. Keep up the great work
If only the sweet spot was larger.
You increase it with openxr toolkit/fixed fovelaty rendering I know I spelt it worng 😅
@@johnwalsh1879 You can't increase the sweet spot of a headset. It's a hardware thing to do with the lenses.
In my G2 the sweet spot isn't great, when I look sideways with my eyes alone I can see the drop in how clear the image is, therefore I have to move my head more just to keep the thing I'm looking at as clear as possible.
@Tomasz Wota if you look into openxr toolkit there is a section explaining what I was talking about. They explain it way better than I can.
@@johnwalsh1879 I don't think you understand. Again, it's a hardware lens thing. You can't fix it with software. It has nothing to do with fixed foveated rendering or OpenXR.
In the beginning, you talk about moving the openVR.API that we downloaded. Sorry, but I don't see in the video where we downloaded it from. Noob here, but hope you can help out.

Just Wooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww
You're an angel
How you interacting with the vr controller, FOr me the main gear of the plane only working.othe rbuttons not able to touch
how can we assign a VR control profile
hey man thanks for this awesome vid. Do you think i will be able to run the hp g2 and get a enjoyable experience, now that MT is out? I’ve got a i5 12600k paired with a rtx 3070ti and 32gb ddr5. Im quite a bit worried about the 8GB vram situation, upgrading for now would not be an option, maybe when the 50 series cards come out, or the 4080 drops significantly in price. This would be my first Vr headset, and im on the fence of ordering it.
Hello Arian and welcome :)
Yes I definitely think that you can run the G2 and very much enjoy the experience in DCS VR with your specs !
A lot of the people that I speak with have very similar specs to yours and report that everything runs just fine albeit with 8 GB of VRAM, you are somewhat limited in terms of running high settings...which the G2 with it's high resolution helps to smooth that out in terms of visuals / clarity.
In terms of the MT update , so far in my experience , this SIM is running better with regards to GPU / CPU latency with the settings provided in this video.
Ultimately the choice is yours alone , and I can only say that the switch to VR ...for me was completely game changing for DCS .
You just may have to make some micro adjustments to your settings to pair nicely with your Rig , as the settings provided in this tutorial , was on the RTX 3080 ti and is pretty close to your specs .
I hope that helps 👍
Good luck Arian :

Hey, great vid. Followed your steps and truly got stable 90fps even on South Atlantic in f16 low level flying. Running the G2 with 5600x and 3080, 80gb Ram.
Did however not like the visuals in steamvr, smooth though. So sat couple of hours tweaking with OpenXR, at first I completely agreed with you. (Also im on MT now which helps). But managed to find a sweetspot with my rig in OpenXR based on your steps in the video. Now its crystal clear and smooth as butter, no artifacts nor stutter. Can get it drop some frames when flying helo at 30ft manouvering like airwolf (can't wait til we get the official Airwolf module).
So what I did was in short:
Putted the resolution to 115% with the slider. Then in OXR toolkit I putted to 2160 per eye. Activated fov rendering to Performance. Other than that just like you.
Motion reproject off (didnt like the visuals from the spinning rotors).
This was magic for my rig.
So a big thanx for you guidance!
You are very welcome Dan !
I am pleased that this guide worked out well for you . Your specs are near par with mine so you were able to obtain similar results as me .
Your OXR settings that you have applied mixed with MT definitely is the sweet spot for this Sim .
Absolutely can't wait for the AirWolf module too ! I am super excited for the future of this Sim , with new modules on the horizon and MT finally here 💢💯
Enjoy my friend 👍

Good videos you have, a question I have a RTX2070 super, processor 7, 32gb ram. on the monitor the game looks very good and clear but when i connect the vr reverb 2, it gets blurry, slow, no good frames. I try everything but I don't know what happens. a little help and advice. thank you so much
Hello and welcome Luis :)
If I were you I would refer to my previous settings guide 2022 which will pair nicely with your system specs .
If you're still having issues after this , maybe consider lowering your Textures to Low / Shadows off/MSAA off also turn off Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling
Good Luck Luis

My issue is I can’t get rid of the green + from looking around and it interferes with the HMD, which also sucks cause it only shows on 1 one? Then the sun is absolutely blinding and I can’t see the hud most of the time if it’s out
used your settings and have the best results ever. but..... how do i turn off the OSD FPS, VRAM counter?
Hi, as you I switched to Q2 to G2 and no regrets. What is you ring specification ? I have a RTX3070Ti 8Gb VRAM and Ryzen 5 5600X and 64GB 3200Mhz. Could I use your tuto to use Steam VR if I use the open beta DVC standalone version (no STEAM version) ?

32 GB DDR5 Dominator Platinum 5600Mhz , 3Tb of WD SSD & i7 - 12700k Overclocked - Z690 Hero Maximus Mobo with 1k watt Corsair PSU.
Yes sir these settings will work very nicely with your setup on Stand alone DCS without Steam .

Hey I watched the video but now I’m curious about your thoughts post MT update. Are you even able to use SVR? Just want to know your thoughts as a lot has changed over the month! Thanks
Hello and welcome :)
To be absolutely honest , I really have not had the pleasure of trying DCS VR with the MT update because of a new furry family member ( puppy ) but I am very excited to try this out .
I was able to get some time in the F-14 last week and my opinion has not changed with regards to SVR ...so far , although for others it seems to be fine using SVR with a few minor bugs using an overlay ( FPS VR ) which will mostly only affect content creators to share said overlay .
Other than that , I believe this is and will be a welcome addition to the DCS community and one of many anticipated updates yet to come .
Thanks for the visit !

Hi; thanks for your efforts making this very informative video🙂. I am kind of new to VR in DCS and have a question about Steam VR. I am using non steam version of DCS, can I use Steam VR to setup my G2 with DCS?
Hello and welcome Roo 😊
I would say that there is no need to do that, although it is possible for players to switch from Steam VR to DCS stand alone , but you already run non Steam VR .
I've just always used the Steam version myself , but in the near future I will most likely make the switch to stand alone with regards to more affordable modules ect.
So to be absolutely honest with you , I don't want to provide you with mis information that could negatively affect your DCS experience .
There will be some steps in this video that will absolutely help for you to obtain a smooth experience in DCS VR .
Best of luck my friend :

@@eggrovr2733 thanks for the answer😊.
I used OXRT and OXRTKT and have a smooth and nice image on DCS VR.
Reprojection off, fovaeted perf/wide, NIS 70%
DCS settings on high except water, and no MSAA, and no SS settings. Iam able to fly smoothly without exceeding 12ms frame rate.
What are your system specs? I have tried VR before and have never been able to get over the screen door effect. I currently have a I7-8700 with 64gb RAM an da NVMe drive and a NVIDIA 3070Ti and a HP G2 v2......havent used it yet...scared it will be dissapointing again.....gonna take the time and watch this video and hopefully I can be as astounded as you are with VR again......TY for the video (even tho I havent watched it yet :) )
Actually, I weas watching and you said your system specs...
I run much higher settings with an RTX 3090 and Oculus Quest2 but I don't mind if frames are 45 with reprojection or even drop to 40 fps.
How it is possible?? 45fps in VR?! Something wrong with you, you need to check yourself with doctor. Really, no one who i know cant play with so low FPS, it right way to puke. Very strange...
Hi Eggro, my two VR problem children F16 and AH64 now running properly with 40+ fps (before 15 to 20).Thanks for that Sir! Btw I use the G2 Omnicept.

Hi Eggro, I really need some help setting up my vr reverb g2. I follow your steps but out of the blue u speak about openvr.api. Where shoulkd i dl this?
Hallo, are this settings uptodate? Or are there any changes in the last year. Thanks for answer.
i7 11700k, 64GB RAM 3600 MHz, ASUS TUF 4080, and the G2. I was using OpenXR, but with the latest update to WMR for SteamVR is actually running better than OpenXR. Getting 5fps more and the frame timings are flat with hardly any jumps. SteamVR default is set to 150% SS and high settings in DCS with MSAA 4x. I am getting 40-45fps in the Apache and 50-70fps in the F-18.
I couldn't agree more ! Your specs are very similar to mine and results are nearly the same .. Although I am running my settings a bit lower to somewhat maintain the HMD @ 90 Hz / 90 fps , which for me is a better VR experience👍
Best of luck Stew 🤠

I replaced the bin file to setup open X-RAY can I still run dcs in steam VR
@@kevinshrive6635 Hello Kevin and welcome !
You can try it out , although replacing the OpenVR file / Open Composite is no longer needed to use OpenXR , as of the latest DCS update ...which you can force OpenXR .
VR Flight Sim Guy recently uploaded a video on how to do this and I may as well, soon enough .
If you do have issues with the replacement of the OVR files , simply run verify DCS from within Steam Games .
This will take a little time but ultimately will replace / fix your DCS files .
Good luck Kevin

@@kevinshrive6635 Best thing to do is just make a shortcut for both, just in case OpenXR gets better or SteamVR sucks again.

@@atharvbapat8077 Yes sir it is 👍💯 Just finished a VR session with no recorded crashes 😱
What's interesting to me is that my experience with steam vr is quite the opposite from yours and we have almost identical systems. 3080 with 12700k. I moved to open xr months ago and have never looked back. My only standing issue currently is the stuttering when looking left or right out of the canopy.
Hello and welcome Bryan :)
I thought it was a bit odd too considering when I tried both FSR / NIS results were very similar to one another , while CAS looked absolutely incredible which yielded even worse CPU/GPU frame times but looked the best that I have experienced in DCS VR so far.
I too was having the stuttering when looking around but I no longer experience this with OXR disabled and primarily run Steam VR ...for now . if you have watched the entire video , I shared both OXR overlay and FPS VR Overlay to share real results .
If you have not tried DCS Steam VR in a few months , maybe give this guide a try and see if the stuttering is resolved ...what is there to lose ? I for one do not tolerate stuttering gracefully and you should not have to just accept bad frametimes aka dropped frames = stuttering.
Best of luck
Thanks for the visit 🦇
Might want to try SteamVR again. The last WMR for SteamVR update changed it a lot. I'm getting 40-45fps in the Apache on OpenXR and 40-50fps with SteamVR at 150% SS. Frame timings are completely flat compared to OpenXR.
You also get the stuttering when looking left and right out of cockpit as well? I find it to be the weirdest thing. Everything else is smooth as butter even with my 4090…
This video does not require you to buy an expensive Barzo VR. thank you
HOW DO WE MAKE IT FULL SCREEN
Hello fellow Reverb G2 user.
So I followed your directions to the T and well I keep getting black stuttering on the screen. I thought it was the Low Latency setting in nvidia so I changed that to On. Still no change, I set the graphics setting in dcs to VR and still no change I can't get rid of the black lag stutters.
Hello and welcome :)
I am terribly sorry to hear of this issue that you describe.
Have you tried a restore point in Windows and check for possible updates ? ( GPU Driver update / Windows update ect .
Also in the past Hags was an issue for me so I usually turn that off ...even with the latest updates from DCS , I still find that having Hags off works best.
Also what are your HW specs ? Is your network connection stable ?
The reason that I ask is that this guide has not only worked well for others , but I still use this guide myself to fall back to a stable starting point .
I have run into issues in the past with corrupt GPU drivers , and had to use DDU to uninstall and reinstall GPU drivers but I suspect that this is not the issue here .
Maybe try relaunching the SIM and using Task Manager to check your system resources and behavior ( GPU utilization and VRAM usage / CPU utilization / Ram ect .
If your HW is anything like mine , you would be much better using my most recent DCS VR settings guide which is more up to date with regards to MT and OXRTK which definitely would work very well for anyone using an RTX 3080 or AMD equivalent GPU and up .
Please let me know as to your situation and improvements if you are able to remedy this issue or if you still are having these problems and I would be more than happy to help you to resolve the problem ...but please share system specs and what you have done so far to try to resolve this .
Thanks again for the feedback!

For those of us on DCS stand alone, do we just skip the Steam part?

No sir you do not need to adjust your Steam settings if your not using Steam VR - DCS.
Although these settings will work ...just minus the Steam VR settings .

@EGGRO VR thank you so much. Really appreciate it. I am new to dcs. I am running a 3060ti with 32gb ram. I was torn between TrackIR and VR. VR is pulling me more. As i am new i am trying to enter as gently as possible, that's why the Quest 2. You know what i mean.
@@sahdinkhan1827 No problem at all ! And welcome to DCS World 👍
Your specs will be very sufficient for this Sim along with the Q2 .
Between Track IR and VR , they both have strength and weakness ...where as Track IR , you get the beautiful visuals from your monitor/s and VR is not as visually appealing it is very immersive.
You got this ! and I am certain VR will blow your mind ...especially in DCS.
If ever you run into issues , please feel free to message me , I'm always around 😁
@EGGRO VR Thank you so 🙏 much. You really inspire newbies like me. I learned the su25t, now learning the FC3 aircrafts. But realized without TrackIR or VR it is really difficult to do anything air to air, where I have to look around. Mouse simply doesn't cut it. So getting the VR. Thank you so much for giving permission to bother you again. I might take up on the offer and bother you again. Really appreciate your support 🙏 ❤️

I can’t get the reverb to open up DCS in vr just goes to my monitors not sure what else I’m supposed to do also have non steam version of dcs
Do you have Windows Mixed Reality for Steam VR ?
I do not use the Stand Alone version of DCS so I have never had this issue , but from what I think is that WMR for SVR is still needed to act as the bridge between your HMD and DCS in order for the sim to run in your HMD .
I know that sounds off / having to use WMR for SVR to launch the non Steam version of DCS but I think that may be your issue .
If so just download Steam and search for WMR for SVR and click download .
Also from within your DCS settings ,
click the VR tab @ the top right and check the box - open in VR .
Launch Steam VR / WMR for SVR and then Launch your DCS.exe and your Sim should launch in your HMD 👍
Hopefully this helps to get you started .

Man, I need to get to tweaking, I suppose. I recently upgraded my CPU to a 14700KF and am still running my RTX 4070 and 32 GB of DDR4, but when I fired up DCS in VR the other night, I got a measly 60 to 65 FPS just sitting on the runway in the A-10 II GAU-8 tutorial mission. That was using the default "VR" profile and 80% res in OpenXR. I did manage to get IL-2 to run pretty great on this rig at 90 Hz (solid 90 FPS 98% of the time, even in single player mode), so I don't want to have to switch back to 60 Hz for DCS. And I'm not even sure I want to run it in VR, since I noticed that with my settings, reading the text on the A-10's HUD was near impossible, no matter how much I leaned forward... :/
Hello there,
If you use my latest guide ... you can easily achieve 90 FPS and stable, with that Rig , with some headroom for micro adjustments.
In terms of visability to scope your mfd's , that should also be no issue.
I just recently upgraded my HMD with prescription lenses by Hons VR , and the difference is night and day, at least for me ... to see my entire cockpit so clearly is mind blowing!
That is if you are in need of Prescription Lenses / Glasses , then the upgrade is a no brainer.

@@eggrovr2733 Thanks for the reply, dude... I'll see if I can find your updated guide for some more pointers. Gotta admit that I hadn't tried DCS in VR before because I'd heard that it was a bit of a mess until recently. Not sure about the glasses thing... I do need reading glasses these days for small-ish text, but other than that, my eyesight's fine. This ain't news I think, but when I switched from the Rift-S to the Reverb, I did/do notice that the lenses on the Reverb do have a very pronounced sweet spot - according to other G2-users I know, this is normal with this set. Not sure if there are aftermarket-lenses that would cure this.
@1SaG Hello there,
I am absolutely positive that my latest guide will get you fired up!
From there as a baseline, you can then make micro adjustments that will help you to achieve better results, based on your particular Sim Visual Preferance.
The guide will provide a very stable 90 fps based on your RIG specs.
If you are farsighted, then I do not think that Prescription lenses will be of any benefit though.
Sadly, the only way to accommodate the small sweet spot on the G2 is to remove the Facial Interface Lense Spacer and get your eyes as close to the lenses, which will result in a wider FOV.
With that resolution @ 2160 × 2160 Per Eye, this Sim looks fantastic!
Please enjoy

@@eggrovr2733 Yeah, it's a bit weird how much all this depends on settings and tweaks. I was at a squad meet a few months ago where one of the guys had brought his brand new 4090/Pimax Crystal setup and he hadn't optimized his IL-2 settings yet. It ran great in MS FlightSim but when we fired up IL-2, that game ran worse than it does on my much less powerful rig. You'd think with that much computing power, you wouldn't have to dive too deep into the settings ... but apparently, you do.. :) Thanks again for the responses!
Does this work the same if DCS is not running thru Steam?
Hello and welcome 😁
Yes this will work the same without Steam !
I also agree that when I first started in VR and in particular ...this Sim , I was not too excited with regards to the screen door effect on both the Q1 & Q2 , but the HP G2 has provided a WAY better / more immersive experience with little to no screen door although still with fernel lens but a higher resolution .

My steam v4 crashes everytime i use it. I followed your directuons. I went back to wmr and open xr and at high dec setting 20 fps and with med or low dcs settimgs i get 30 max fps. I domt get it. I cant get fps in my new reverb g2 above 30 fps. i got better in my rift s . Makes no since. Been fighting with it for 9 days now in dcs world. My specs razer balde advance gameing laptop i7 8750 rtx 2070 max 64 gigs of ram. I even set steam vr to run by open xr. I have direct x12 this says min specs for reverb g2 v2 . I noticed you had dx11 in steam vr settings on.
Hiya Spencer :)
You definitely would have had an easier time with the Rift S compared to the G2 , as the G2 resolution is 2160 x 2160 and the Rift S is
1280 x 1440 per eye .
The G2 is a pretty demanding HMD and with regards to your system specs , I would maybe consider lowering your Render Scale in OXRTK to play well with your H/W and try dlss / performance / Turbo Mode On
Cas @ 50 % / Textures Med - low
Terrain Textures low - Med
Hags Off and most other settings Med to Low .
Please do let me know how this works for you .
Thanks again

Just to let you know I used the settings on DCS and here's the funny thing .when I used opencomposite it was jittery as hell not smooth at all .but when I used steam vr which is ment to be a big drain when it plays in the back round the sim worked beautifully no probs at all .very strange I can't make it out. I'll do some tests with frame rates at the weekend. But if it looks good feels good then it's good
Right ? I was confused at first too .
It made absolutely no sense but Steam VR yielded better results over OC / OXR .
Let me know how it all works out 👍
Best of luck !

@EGGRO VR I flew the f86 today in a 4v4 dogfight. It was unbelievable. Graphics reflections clouds everything I have a video on my CZcams channel. Its not great I done it with my phone
@@johnwalsh1879 I have not tried the F-86 yet , but it is a beautifully made module!
I will pop over and check out the Dogfight and Subscribe 💯😁
OpenComposite paired with OpenXRtools and OpenXRtoolkit companion app is god damn game changing. Test, test, test and you will get there
Welcome Cohan 😁
Testing is nearly all that I do on this Sim, after each major update .
I definitely see the potential using OXR paired with Open Composite and upscaling , although for now I am seeing better results on Steam VR .
The aliasing around the clouds and the edge of my FOV paired with unstable frame times resulting in stuttering and mostly sub-par visuals are some of the reasons for the switch to SVR .
As I have mentioned , I have tried nearly everything and settings in OXR / Cas plus all settings available and as for Nis and Fsr ...the same process 😒
Cas plus the settings provided yielded nearly perfect visuals but other issues were present .
Instead of telling people to test test test 🤣 I have an idea 🧐 Maybe share said settings , that are working so perfect for you .

brother i hate dcs in steam plus i have the f15 e stike eagel with toher downlaods . which is not steam compatiable. plus open xr with viretual desktop smokes steam vr in fps . can u make a open xr dcs optimazatiuon pleaseeeeee i use dcs open beta. which is where 90% of the dcs pilots fly in multiplayer.. you want to take dcs to another level go join a squadfron and fly multiplayer my god its incredibale if you fly withsome experinced dcs pilots
Hello and welcome Spencer :)
Thank you for the view and comment .
I do plan on uploading a VD/ORXTK DCS VR guide very soon .
I really appreciate your feedback , and suggestion regarding online MP VR game play ... I could not agree more that DCS MP is next level fun , although I really need better time management to actually spend some time in MP servers 😀
Also , how is the F-15 SE in your experience ? I'm still trying to master the F-14 TC , which is an entirely different beast to tame ☺️

@eggrovr2733 I did you full set up for my reverb g2 version 2 running system i-7 8750 rtx 2070 ,64 gigs of ram. I am making at 20 fps if I do your exact settings in video. If I shut down in open xr the cas and the click motion reporjection that's the best fps I get at 27 fps. I also have virtual ready desktop I purchased in steam. I am trying to totally avoid steamr vr amd have open xr as my default but when ever I click mix realty and virtual desktop starts steam vr but like I said I have open xr set in steam vr settings. Any suggestions. Hell I got better fps in my old rift s then my new reverb g2. I also get like a moving water effect in game. Usually msaa does this I think. I would at least like to get 60 GPS or better and I don't have a weak system and loads of ram with decent gpu( rtx 2070)
@spencerwarren9219 Hello Spencer 👋
Honestly I would refer to my most recent Video for the G2 , as the guide is pre 2.9 .
You will have excellent results with your G2 on with my latest guide . Tried and true , with Overlay shared to show my results with my configuration.
Good Luck

what is the title of that video looking now ?@@eggrovr2733
Hey Spencer :)
The video that would work best for you is DCS Edge 2.9 God Mode Settings .
That is latest which plays best with Edge 2.9 .
Best of luck my friend

Qulity is awsome when watching on the phone :))) in reverb g2 is very bad quality compare with my Oled LG 65inch gsync TV. I was sad when i bought revebG2.... But after i try other VR like piko, quest2, htc.... I understand, that ReverbG2 is BEST OF VR HELMETS!!!
Are you also using a Hotas or just the G2 controllers?
Hello and welcome :
I do use both a throttle and stick / Hotas ( Thrustmaster ) Airbus edition for the time of this video , although I do enjoy interacting with the AC when possible using the HMD controllers also .
Unfortunetelly , Forced DX11 mode on makes other games looks bad in SteamVR and force them not to use DX12 new libraries and visual options, so pretty heavy sacrifice to accomplish a single game, if you ask me...
Well hello Alex 😁
Fortunately it is incredibly easy to switch between the two .
Thanks for visit 👍
