v5.3 Black screen with SteamVR + Quest3(link/Airlink)

I am still on v5.3 and recently when I tried SteamVR instead of Oculus runtimes (where everything works fine on my Quest3 - both Link cable and Airlink), I get nothing but a black screen (two elongated dots where the hand controllers are pointing). All drivers are current. I need to use SteamVR in o...

Re: Some issues/bugs within WMR VR HP reverb

Thanks for the info about WMR settings. Who would have thought that would mess up the visuals! For some amazing fun, try doing an F-35B airshow at the Seattle waterfront in Vr. Use the DD scenery. And hit the STOVL button on the upper left of the cockpit and then highlight the HOVER mode so you can ...

Re: Some issues/bugs within WMR VR HP reverb

@Marcus, I have a PC similar to yours but I am not seeing any problems with the Reverb single-pass stereo. It's almost as if you really weren't running HotFix2 because the problems you state are the kind we were having before HF2. If you are really running 5.0.31.35253 (make sure you check by Help->...

Re: F-35B Manual

@Beau, Any chance of using a HOTAS assignment for forward/aft Hover instead of the keyboard CTRL+NumPad4 or 6 . ( For VR use ) OR is there something to click on on the PCD? The F-35B Checklist has some errors: SHIFT+2 is radios SHIFT+4 is PCD (MFD) SHIFT+E opens/closes the canopy so I don't know how...

Re: F-35B Manual

How do I move forward and aft in Hover mode? I can yaw with rudder pedals, move directly sideways with bank joystick but "pitch" is used for up/down. EDIT: OK - I see from the checklist that increase / decrease Hover target speed is CTRL NumPAD 4 and 6 - seems that a direct axis control mi...

Re: F-35B Manual

@Martyson, Thanks for the additional help - any sequence info or other data (do you simply use pitch/roll/yaw flight controls - or are there any V/S automatic modes) to help fly this correctly? Does anybody actually train with this model? Hope you have been able to fly this aircraft in VR - it reall...

Re: F-35B Manual

So far what I have seen WRT F-35B STOVL operation - just by trying it several times: 1) Slow down to 210 knots in normal flight mode maybe two to three miles out from final touchdown 2) Hit the STOVL button while flying straight and level - flight path vector on the horizon - indicator of nozzles on...

Re: F-35B Manual

@Vaughan, I've looked at all the axis and key assignments, but I can't find the Nozzle Angle setting - and maybe there is a mode setting that opens/closes the nozzle doors. Thanks for the help! Dave W. EDIT: OK, I guess there is simply a Hook/STOVL assignment and no nozzle axis assignment (all autom...

Re: P3D5 HF2 issues with VR

@OP,
You need to tell us which versions of Windows 10 (hopefully 2004), which Nvidia driver (maybe 451.48), which SteamVR you are using (1.12.5 or so) since VRAM is such a hot topic with DX12.

Improved VR performance in P3Dv5 HF2

To all VR users of P3Dv5 - major performance and smoothness improvements for single-pass, single display. I have not seen a graphics crash (as long as I start WMR and SteamVR first or slew too fast ). Get HF2 NOW. I just uninstalled / installed the Client so far. Please report here or start a new th...

Decent WMR Experience while waiting for Improvements

It has been a difficult month after Version 5 release for some of us who enjoy VR. I have been seeing a lot of "device hung" and other graphics errors plus a lot of stuttering when looking sideways due to very inconsistent frametimes. I have tried a lot of combinations (along with frame li...

Re: P3d v5 - multichannel vs singlechannel performance

Many training simulation developers are using three HD monitors driven by a SINGLE gpu card. Most Nvidia cards have three DP outputs and a fourth HDMI or some similar combination. There is no need or value in having three GPUs since the Windows 10 CPU and graphic system can only draw one screen at a...
