How I set up mixed reality in DCS

[@thelespauldude3283]

"It drives you to alcoholism but you'll get it to work eventuelly" that pretty much describes the DCS VR experience😂

[@BlackbirdDrozd]

Nope, that describes the feeling after spending years with DCS, getting it to work finally, learning the planes and their systems ... only to realize there is nothing in the sterile world of DCS to achieve with all the systems and buttons you just learned.

[@thelespauldude3283]

@@BlackbirdDrozd knowing all the systems and buttons and being able to use them is the achievement. Whats there in warthunder to achieve?

[@BlackbirdDrozd]

@@thelespauldude3283 Use them for what exactly? DCS's experience pattern is learning a plane for 15-20 hours then spending 90 minutes flying the pitifyl campaigns/scenarios it offers. Like dont get me wrong, I was playing DCS for 20+ years ever since "Lock On" version, even was running MP server for a year, but I got burned by ED's incompetence actually delivering content beyound just those buttons (e.g. dynamic campaign now "in progress" for 13 years) and whoever tries to produce a bigger war scenario in that engine either hits a performance roadblock (since still today AI and simulation is a single threat on CPU) or ED will drive them crazy with breaking compatibility in updates (as ex-DCS server admin for 2 years on average I spent full weekend every month fixing our server missions because ED decided to break mission scripting logic yet again in update). So no, I now play BMS for complex simulation because there is actually a competent war to play with instead of empty maps in DCS and I play WarThunder since there the average player can actually dogfight using energy fighting and you can get into good fights in 30-60 min play time once you are a busy adult with carrier/kids, instead in DCS majority of players only know their buttons and have eyes glued on radar screen, but don't understand shait about energy manuevering and to get some better experience you have to dedicated bazillion of hours keeping up with virtual squadron. PS: And yes, also war thunder is shait, given it's ignore of simulation game mode and bugs there, the toxic russian Z-ombie developers and company owned by a Russian oligarch. So both DCS and War Thunder are shait, just differnt kind of.

What is really good about this is you have combined the strengths of VR with your incredibly detailed physical cockpit, really the only thing holding it back is the VR tech and PC performance… The Somnium VR1 is the tool but as you say its 10x the price plus you need a 4090+ GPU it should trickle down eventually

Thank you very much for sharing as I currently have a Quest 2 Vr headset with remote desktop looking to upgrade my VR headset in the year and this tutorial means that I consider going to the Quest 3 to achieve this mixed VR enviroment. Using knee board to create a in game effects mask out and include my cockpit area.

[@jimmydesouza4375]

Hah, open kneeboard to display the passthrough colour is a good idea. I like reality mixer myself but I can see open kneeboard being useful. I think I will try it and see how it works.

What would be a great addon is to somehow keep a low res panorama projection or some kind of array of LED floodlights that can cast “sunlight” dynamically into the real cockpit.

[@rightrudderleftstick]

Is there a way from dcs bios to get the xyz rotation of the aircraft and the time of day in game? That could be sent to some mini computer feeding the projectors to project ambient light into the cockpit live

[@brandonreiser7739]

My idea was that has to be possible. Streamers use green screens. If you made a pit with a canopy, then make the canopy "glass" green, then in theory, all that would be needed is for dcs to render ONLY the green screen, leaving everything inside passthrough. No digital mask, open kneeboard, etc.

If you want to do virtual desktop over wifi, you should be able to use the android debug bridge to set the network to use the usb cable. I can't remember the exact steps, but you get the port and ip that virtual desktop is using, then in the debug bridge, you set the headset to forward that port over the usb.

Nice video. I use a Leap Motion for handtracking and I setup my virtual hands with the x, y and z axis we get on the vr tab in game. I make them match my real life setup (hornet copy) so the virtual hands basically can navigate my real hand to get some AR. Eagle Dynamics made the three axis for both hands which is a bit annoying because 3 axis for each individual hand would be very preferable (because of the difference in cockpit and real life measurements). Currently I therefore work around it by setting up the right hand in vr relative to the real pit. Works great. Keep up the great content buddy! 🫡

[@Ready.A-10C]

Brilliant! Ever considered putting it all on a motion rig? Don't know the weight of it all but together with XR I would assume that would be final step to reach Nirvana. 🐗👼🥃

[@Brandon_SoMD]

Turns out that motion doesn't do much for fighter sims, for things other than basically straight-and-level flight, carrier approaches, or tanking. Any of the dynamic maneuvering (which is why you want to be in a fighter sim anyway, right?) doesn't benefit all that much - actually the opposite. (BTW, I'm a 34-year veteran of flight simulator testing, with experience in both large and small aircraft sims, and have written the US Navy's flight test manual for piloted simulator test and evaluation. I've spent probably a thousand hours in motion base and seat motion sims, and far more in fixed-base fighter sims.) The real crux of the problem is that no motion system currently available - or even possible with current technology - can replicate (or even hint at) sustained g forces without serious compromises. And those compromises are so distracting that they decrease the sense of realism for anyone with actual experience in an airplane. Things like range of motion, acceleration limitations, cueing washout, and attitude/rate/acceleration confounding are simply not solvable without artificial gravity - and we just haven't figured that out yet. Even if your motion system can go fully 360 in all axes, you still can't replicate the accelerations. So it tumbles your inner ear gyros in a very unrealistic fashion, and does a wonderful job of giving you motion sickness, but that's about it. Even centrifuge sims, which can reproduce high and sustained g forces, are really horrid for any other part of simulation training - due to the rotation rates required. Motion cueing works fine for small short-duration changes - like straight and level flight, or mostly steady approaches to an airfield. It can help in formation flight and hover, for sure. But anything resembling air combat - nope. There's a reason that basically no serious military fighter combat sims use motion bases. Some have very simple seat cueing (vibe and pressure points and very small motions), and there are a few centrifuges for specific g-force training, but that's it. "Butt-kicker" subwoofers are actually pretty good at cueing the rumble and vibes of stall buffet or helicopter vibrations etc., and that's usually the limit for many fighter sims. When NASA wanted to produce a more realistic simulation for the Space Shuttle and other projects, they built the Vertical Motion Simulator (VMS) - look it up if you can. It can produce somewhat sustained g forces - but still not enough for fighter sims, and the thing is 60 feet tall and 40 feet wide: totally unreasonable for a fighter sim. (I've been for a ride in it - it's fascinating.) So motion cueing systems are essentially only used for FAA Level C and Level D transport-class aircraft that spend most of their time in steady and low-acceleration, low-rate flight - where it really helps and excels. And even then, plenty of studies have shown that there is actually minimal added training value from motion systems - in many ways, it detracts from the real transfer of skills. But it is cool.

[@Ready.A-10C]

​@@Brandon_SoMD First of all it sounds like you have a job that makes me jealous. I have seen a number of videos of people using a motion rig id DCS and they get pretty wild about it, so I put it on my list of things to get, after upgrading my jetseat to a buttkicker, which hopefuly is back on stock in a couple of weeks. I am unsure about either a 3DOF or 6DOF system. In DCS I fly the A-10, so I don't really need to feel the catapult or 9g's in a fast jet, but I understood that it would bring an extra level of immersion.I recently saw a video of a former hornet pilot trying out a motion rig (on GYGO) and he was quite positive about it. Some time ago I saw a nice video about the SIMONA simulator from Delft University that tricks your mind. Did you watch this by any chance? Very curious about your thoughts.

[@Brandon_SoMD]

@@Ready.A-10C Yeah, it's been an incredibly fun job. I literally wrote the manual on US Navy sim testing, and I get to spend a ton of time pretending I'm a pilot in the world's best real milsims. Here's the thing about motion rigs: people unfamiliar with professional simulation systems generally have the mistaken impression that just tilting the cockpit the same way the simulated aircraft is tilting will produce useful and accurate sensations. That's not true - in fact it couldn't be further from the truth. Motion cueing is incredibly complex to get good enough to be useful. First, the concept of "washout." In any limited-range motion system (a small one might move +/-30 degrees and maybe a foot of total motion distance), it's impossible to follow the attitude of the simulated airplane. At some point, the motion base has to stop moving, even if the airplane is doing a full 360-deg aileron roll or a vertical loop in pitch. How does the system handle this? It has to slow and stop moving (without an abrupt jerk at the stopping point), and then it has to move back towards the neutral position to prepare for the next motion. This slow/stop/return produces sensations on the occupant. So it has to be done VERY carefully, without triggering the inner ear (for angular rates) and seat-of-the-pants (for linear accelerations) to notice the change. Next, reproducing a sensation of sustained accelerations is REALLY tricky. For a long-term forward acceleration, such as on takeoff, you might tilt the cockpit back so that a portion of the 1g gravity is pushing on the pilot's back, making it feel like you're speeding up. But GETTING TO THAT PITCH ANGLE produces an angular rate for a moment, which the inner ear happily notices - while your eyes don't see it. The same happens for sustained side forces, like turning left or right while taxiing. So you have a momentary innate confusion about why your eyes aren't seeing the pitch rate. Your brain is REALLY good at detecting angular rates - it's how you are able to walk. So your brain's balance system rebels at this confounding of rates and accelerations, and the result is almost always motion sickness, or "simulator sickness" as a term of art when it happens in a simulator. It's potentially bad enough that some military training commands don't let a pilot fly a real airplane for up to 24 hours after a sim session - because it really screws with the inner ear systems. And, in an open cockpit (where you can see your environment outside the cockpit) it's even worse. Remember that old 1980's arcade game "Afterburner"? You sat in an open cockpit, with a TV screen in front, and the whole thing moved around on its base while you flew an approximation of an F-14 in dogfights. Great, but this adds yet more trouble: your peripheral vision sees the non-moving exterior world, and your brain rejects the motion cues as completely out of sync with the visual display of the outside world. So motion base sims must be very carefully isolated from the outside world. (An virtual reality cockpit does this just fine, fortunately - as does a carefully built augmented reality cockpit like this A-10 setup.) Now, jerking someone around in an unrealistic manner while they play a video game may be exciting, but it's not helpful to someone interested in having the motion cues add to the realism or help them understand what's going on to help them more accurately control the airplane. Fortunately, *some* simulators can get away with all these things just fine - sims that don't experience large sustained accelerations, and don't change their pitch or bank angle all that much: airliners and similar classes of airplanes. That's why the FAA has specific requirements for motion bases on Level C and Level D sims in the FAR Part 60 code. If you're interested in flying bizjets or a small civil Cessna, the average small motion base is probably going to actually be helpful and close to realistic. But fighters? Nope; they maneuver too dynamically for a motion base to be really useful. What about centrifuge sims, where you can really sling someone around at high and sustained g forces? Okay, but now you're introducing a pretty healthy angular rate into the equation, and the brain CANNOT ignore it. At higher g situations, the person in the centrifuge is experiencing literally hundreds of degrees per second of combined pitch and yaw rates, but their out-the-window display shows them a very different thing. And the brain HATES it. Try this sometime: sit in an office chair with a blindfold on, look straight ahead, have someone spin the chair at about 2 seconds per revolution (180 deg/sec), and turn your head to look up over your shoulder. You'll probably almost fall out of the chair as your brain gets completely confused - if you don't throw up. Turning the head really spins up the inner ear "gyro" horribly; in a dogfight situation, where the pilot has to be constantly turning their head to track the enemy fighter, it's awful. That's why milsims don't use centrifuges except for the specific g-tolerance training. So to summarize, motion bases are really good for SOME things, but not for others. They have massive limitations you have to know about if you care about accuracy. As for me, I know too much about what it SHOULD be like, to really appreciate simplistic motion systems. I've worked on everything from 60-inch 6DOF systems, to 1-inch (yes, ONE inch) 3DOF systems, plus motion cueing seats. My job is all about "does this thing we're buying really train people effectively," so I'm deeply interested in realistic and accurate training. As a result, I'm pretty strongly biased against "fun" motion systems just for the sake of feeling SOMETHING. But - I'll also admit that a lot of games don't model reality, anyway. (For the record, I also have a lot of thoughts about force feedback systems....) So I'd recommend: do some research into motion cueing, and make sure you are at least congizant of all these limitations before you get too deep into picking a system. You may be just fine with it, and that's cool. I just want you to be informed.

[@RainmanHST]

Great video, and hats off to your hard work and cleverness man! Personally, I'm waiting for not too long a time when the whole passthrough software is built in native to DCS. The boundary creation software already exists in the Q3 where you identify a custom area in the room as the guardian. That couldn't be too difficult to change into creating a passthrough boundary. I reckon it will be there in a year or two as pitbuilding grows, and pitbuilding product prices decrease with market growth, and DCS responds to that growing market with in built solutions, as they always have done before. Think native VR support itself. Exciting (and much easier!!) times ahead.
