VR Graphics Guide | DCS: World Update 2.9.11 (2025)

[@waynenetzley1045]

I just joined and give you a BIG thumbs up. I had given up on using my quest 2 in DCS but after resetting the settings it's running really, really good now. Can't say WOW enough and the difference in as it does not buffer now :). I even ordered a Tobii Tracker 5, and it came today, said I had to let the under-screen sticker set 24 hours, so I tried my VR one more tries with your settings. Thanks again guy. I still plan to use the eye tracker some as the headset is hot after a while but it sure will be nice to have both options at hand. My rig is a P9 Win11 3080Ti, not sure of Ram atm, 32 or 64. Been flight Siming since CFS1 in 1998 and then to Fighter Ace, Ace's High, then War Thunder, and now Learning DCS. Setting up a sim chair, cockpit atm, and having more fun than ever. At 70 years old now can't do as much outside so having fun where I can. ha-ha Salute to u!!!!

Reading this made me smile, thank you for the comment! I really appreciate it. I hope you have a great time in DCS 😁

Well V63 for Rift has broken Quest for VR in DCS , ATM . Long discussion on forms right now , and no easy way to roll back to V62 . 😢 Going to try Virtual Desktop as soon as I’m updated 5G router comes from Amazon. My old one was about 5 years old now , was not 5G .

[@Yorickkinda]

@@airspro5666 Sorry for not replying sooner, if you run it through SteamVR it works a dream!

[@TrooperWan]

Another setting that makes a huge impact is the FoV Multiplier on Quest 3. I set FoV Multiplier to 0.8, 0,85 using the Oculus Tray Tool, and it improves performance by not rendering the pixels outside of what you can see through the lenses in the headset.

[@Yorickkinda]

The OTT is a great tool and one I used a lot previously, however I didn’t for this as I found that the FoV multiplier wasn’t really providing me any additional benefits. However for PC’s with lesser GPU’s it’s 100% a great tool to use

[@texel9]

Thanks dude! Really improved my clarity with the 1.4 PD. I'm using a 4080 and still playing around with the settings and this improved a lot!

[@Yorickkinda]

That’s great to see!

[@caffeineoverload7773]

I have a 3070, and a 10400f, and this was a huge improvement! Thanks!

[@simtaylor61]

So far this is the most useful Quest 3/DCS video I’ve seen. Our systems are pretty close (you got more processor, I got a tad more video card), but your settings seem to be simple straightforward and common sense

[@simtaylor61]

I got pretty good results with your settings. 72 FPS with your baseline (as I said, you have a little more processor that I have), but I went from 42, so the results were EXCELLENT!

[@Yorickkinda]

I am glad they have been useful for you!

[@Luminoso72]

Thank you so much for this, pure gold. i did all the things with openxr and blablabla-tools, no good picture. but your guide is phenomenal, especially the stuff in the nvidia-control panel. i have a quest 3, a 7800x3d, 64gb ram and a 4090 and i‘ve set the ingame pd to 1.6 and it‘s fluid and not stuttering at all and i maxed out all textures and preload without any stutters. i also set dlss to ultra performance for helos and quality for planes. works like a charm. very nice, i was about to sell my quest 3 bc it didn‘t match my expectations. thanks. 👍🏻

[@Yorickkinda]

Great! I am glad it helped! The nvidia control panel stuff is really what makes a huge different, I think the pre rendered frames really helps to smooth the game out and remove that god awful ghosting and stuttering you get otherwise

[@Luminoso72]

i actually set pd to 1.7 and it‘s even more clear and still no stuttering.

[@Yorickkinda]

That’s awesome!

[@Luminoso72]

whats your setting debugtool for bitrate?

[@Yorickkinda]

@MotorheadsRT 500

[@carlosarangosch]

I really suggest to increase the quest resolution instead increasing pixel density. PD is a supersampling process and it impacts performance really hard. There is a default instant action mission in Marianas for free flying de f-18 use that mission to benchmark. Use f2 and focus the view in the f16 park at the hangars and try to achieve stable 72 fps. Another tip is to lower LOD Switch factor to 0.4, this will affect distant detail of units (the carrier to) but that will give you massive performance. Another trick is to mix full quest resolution with 1.1 or 1.2 PD in-game and 0.4 LOD Switch factor but take into account the performance hit.

[@1SaG]

Like I said to my "tinkering buddy" last night: The funny thing with VR is that you're usually messing around with settings/trying to optimize performance more than you're actually flying any planes... :D Side note re resolution settings: I discovered this in IL-2 but I think it's true for DCS as well... When I set my resolution to a higher level in the Oculus App and then leave PD/res alone in the actual game (or in OpenXR Toolkit), capturing the game's monitor window with GF Experience will make my FPS drop quite significantly. It's basically like capturing with FRAPS to an HDD in ye olden days. When I set my resolution to 1.0x in Oculus and then increase resolution with either the toolkit, or in DCS, in-game (PD-slider), starting and running a capture isn't noticeable at all WRT FPS/performance. Even when I set the resolution to a higher value than what I would use with the app's slider. While I have no idea what's going on with that, the results do feel like setting the higher res in the app puts a higher load on my system/GPU for some reason - at least when it comes to capturing. I did do a screen capture in DCS last night - to record the performance overlay on my desktop - while using Res 1.0x in the app and PD 1.3 (i7-14700KF, RTX 4070 Super, 32 GB of DDR4. Q3 connected via cable-link) and there were no noticeable drops in performance while the recording was running.

[@leedove7255]

I had a lot of problems with the Occulus app and Quest 3 link. In fact it meant I had to run on low settings. Worked fine with Quest 2. I have just switched to Virtual Desktop wireless which works really well.

[@Yorickkinda]

Yeah, once I upgrade to get a better router capable of doing wireless gameplay, I will - I much prefer the tooling and using steam VR over Oculus

[@JohnCarlyle]

I've switched from a Reverb G2 to Quest 3. HUGE issues with the multi-threaded version of DCS using Quest Link (wired). Switching to single-threaded fixes this but performance isn't as good :(

[@Yorickkinda]

@JohnCarlyle yeah the oculus software is trash, I wish they just dropped it or rebuilt it from the ground up to be more efficient. Especially with windows 11

[@DanBlake3rd]

Thanks for the suggestions. Will give them a try. Edit: MT enabled in order to enable the new graphics settings.

[@Yorickkinda]

[@ToshisanMotonaka]

Word of advice for anyone that doesn't have 64gb ram or a 16gb GPU, don't put your textures high, everything else im loving these settings

Great Vid.. 👍Following your great guide, Rift s, 5690x 16gb 3200 , 3070, f16 free flight 80fps in vr. Thanks so much

Great to see!

[@andershogqvist]

My biggest issue with DLSS is that the text on the head down displays become very blurry. When using DLSS I can however turn the pixel density up to 1.9 and that allows me to read the text on the displays, but it's still more blurry than using TAA

[@fret_playa]

If I sharpen the setting below DLSS to max it helps a lot in VR. It's actually readable. I can't go past 1.0 on pixel density tho

[@Yorickkinda]

Bumping the sharpness higher does help quite a bit with the overall legibility of the MFD’s, radars and other in game displays

[@macmusica]

I use a 3080 and run the STeamVR Launcher with "--force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR". Why I can not see the DLSS setting yet I can for MSFS2020? I use both SteamVR BETA & DCS Public BETA. * I see now I must use Multi-Threaded Version to see DLSS.

[@antonip1114]

I have countless issues with my 4080Super with the beta. It says that my device is not suported and crashes. I can only use the vanilla version of the game.

[@shazam-253]

What DCS version is this? I got a framed limiter in there, which I would highly recommend using. Your frames are jittery in my opinion, I usually try to 'flatline' the frame times to stabilize the system. Better a stable 75 FPS than a jittery 90 in my opinion. But then again, everyone has to find their sweet spot.

[@Amnesia77270]

VR pre-rendered frames setting doesnt show up on my panel, anyone know what's up with me please? :c

[@nathanwong5644]

Is 64GB a must for DCS now... I'm running basically the same CPU and a better GPU (RTX 4070TS) abait halved RAM size, and had been running into crashes when trying to load Caucasus map before even any additional addon intalled...

[@leroyabernathy9934]

I put small, round pieces of thick, double stick tape on a few of my most critical keys so I can feel their location when my hand is on the keyboard. Still, I often have to peek under the old goggles to take a look at what I am doing in the real world, but doing so really doesn't bother me, unless I'm on short final. For me, wearing an HMD is comfortingly reminiscent of wearing flying goggles. The difference is my flying goggles, now hanging on the wall, did not weigh nearly as much as the Pimax HMD. However, this is offset by the cost of owing and operating a single airplane, versus owning a fleet of sim airplanes that can be spawned anywhere on the planet. How else can one fly a Grumman Goose or Boeing 314 in the middle of the South Pacific and still be home for dinner? Best of all is not having to deal with ongoing maintenance and mountains of FAA regulation paperwork. As for cost, consider that my entire sim setup, with a top of the line gaming computer and three different sims, along with their fleets of aircraft cost less than a green-tagged, Hamilton Standard propeller. What seems insanely expensive in the technical world, is insanely dirt cheap by aircraft standards. Unless maybe you're putting in a King Gold Crown panel, in which case one has the worst dollar cost of both worlds. As for glass cockpits, don't get me started.

[@danielgrafflin9689]

Great tutorial and presentation, I am a nooby to VR but have a much different setup. Machine is HP Z840, dual zeon cpu, 160 GBram, older Nvidea Quadro K6000. Everything updated. Now a serious question, Can i apply most/all of these settings. My VR is HP reverb G2, installed Mixed reality portal, SteamVR, and Open XR tools. So far, I have no in cockpit VR, and fairly certain a bad setting somewhere. This works good in 2D desktop.

[@Yorickkinda]

Honestly, you should probably have a much better time of it, I’m not sure whether DLSS works on Quadro cards, but FSR definitely will!

[@chrisprelot7835]

[@lucatschy]

you need to start dcs in multithreading mode. Search on KZbin for tutorial

[@sinatragede]

How is displays looking? can you read text in them? and whats difference between PD in game and supersampling in oculus app?

[@Yorickkinda]

I’m actually going to be recording a new video on DCS in VR this week as it’s been a fair while since the last one I dropped. PD is basically the same as Super Sampling in the oculus app, so you will only want to change it in one of them. I chose to change it in game because then I am editing visual settings in one app over two

[@sinatragede]

@@Yorickkinda I've used max resolution on quest app, dlss quality, but lovering FOV stencils in Oculus debug tool. This way i'm getting almost stable 72fps in singleplayer, but have some drops in multiplayer. Will try your settings, but i fear that mfd's would be unreadable. Besides, textures on high works for most modules, but newer ones like Ah64 or f15e suffers from fps drops when i set textures high, so i run on them on medium, and ground on high :)

[@MaddogMike-444]

I also have a 3080ti, but a lesser cpu I9-10900k and 64gb at 3200. If I push pixel density to 1.2 DCS crashes, even if all other settings are on low but its fine at 1.1. I'm not sure why this is if its a function of the GPU? Leaving it at 1.1 I pushed the clouds to ultra and the Q3 to 90hz which looks pretty good while the lower FPS gives me a headache and the clouds at high are pretty jagged. Any ideas on the PD?

[@Yorickkinda]

Some settings do rely more on the CPU over the GPU, it's a weird quirk with VR. It's the only reason I have the CPU I have. I can pretty much use the same settings but using my 2070 super and get more or less the same exact experience visually

[@VELCRO666]

I haven't used my rift s for a few months, tried to use it yesterday, vr loads to the 15 year dcs screen. Then just goes off.

I have a question for you, we share just about identical pc capabilities, mine might be a little stronger even, though I am using a Reverb G2. I followed all your settings advice, but now when in DCS with DLSS turned using open xr, I seem to be stuck fast at 23 fps any idea why this would be happening? Thank you for any advice, I appreciate your video.

[@Yorickkinda]

Have you got a frame rate limiter applied anywhere? I know sometimes with certain headsets using the pre-rendered frames can effect the rendered frame rate, so maybe change that and see whether it is still happening?

[@Yorickkinda]

I know the issue, it’s a real pain in the arse - how to fix it, I am unsure - you tend to see what I can only describe as a black smudge in their general location. However there is a setting called ‘VR Zoom’ in the UI settings (you may need to hunt around) you can bind that to a button on your hotas and it’ll zoom similar to flat screen.

-I think you mean Mega Transfers not Hertz -most of the times DCS is saying "CPU Bound" in red that means you CPU can't keep up so you saying has enough headroom is a bit of an overstating. -Also having reduced settings all over the place is basically a mashup of random attempts to get FPS and loses any relevance as it is very hardware and perception dependent.

[@Yorickkinda]

Technically correct as a hertz is a measure of frequency, but as 1Hz is the same as one second, both MT/s and MHz are the same: 4800 MT/s = 4800 MHz

[@zaelu]

@@Yorickkinda in fact your RAM works at 2400MHz and 4800MT/s because it's DDR. People confuse this because the memory vendors like to "omit" these aspects because it's beneficial for their sales.

[@Kekmek-fy4ly]

Overall good video mate, but its little misleading. Flying high above or taxing in empty/bare airfields are not good indication of performance in vr. You started to have spikes and dips as soon as you hit the forest level or smoke or little busy areas. Anyone can run 72fps with much lower spec when there is nothing impactful around, especially in Caucasus. Try the same settings above any city in Syria map or Marinaras or even dense forest/factory areas of Caucasus map and I guarantee you wont even hit a stable 60, maybe 65. And thats the problem, when you are running anything below 72, anything "unstable" then you see stutters and everything looks shit even if your fps is 68 or 70, it doesnt matter. So Im sorry, no hate, I know you try to be helpful, but this is not a great guide mate. For example; you have to get rid of forest and structure details to zero, thats 10-15 fps right there. Also turn off cockpit illumination, thats another 2-3 fps and that setting does literally nothing. Ground shadows default to flat can give you up to 5fps especially in dense city areas. AND THE BIGGEST THING YOU CAN DO IS: fix the fps, I mean literally, fix it to a certain number, my prefered is 45fp, or you can do 60 if you lower more stuff. Use oculus dev tool to fix the fps to half with ASW disabled. This is the best thing you can do to get a "smooth" experience. Im sorry but what you have is not stable, I know its not because we have the exact same setup and settings lol. Anyway, again, no hate my dude, just some clarification...

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate the feedback so that I can do better in the future!

DCS vr for me is unusable as far as dogfighting is concerned. I can get the cockpit to look great, but anything beyond my wingtips is a blurry, shimmering, semi-transparent mess. I can't distinguish any aircraft type until they are very close, like 300 meters/yards away. At 3/4 of a mile (1.2km) an aircraft appears as a perfect little black square!? I can get 45-90 fps, 5-10ms frametimes, but nothing so far makes any difference to the quality of other aircraft appearance. I've spent more than 30 hours trying different settings and guides over the past 6 months. I have : I9-11900k / 3080ti / 32mg 3600 ram / reverb G2 / 1tb ssd / open XR + toolkit Does anyone have any advice ? Thanks in advance.

[@Yorickkinda]

That’s a yikes, ill have a think and see what I can come up with

[@nateg876]

This looks very cool. How is playing a flight sim in VR since you have even less feedback than normal of your body physically rolling or moving. Isn't it just disorienting and not fun?

[@Yorickkinda]

Just like VR in general, if you’re susceptible to motion sickness, it’s something you need to get used too

[@nateg876]

@@Yorickkinda Gotcha. I have a very high tolerance for VR, but I can't help but feel that the physical disconnect between you and the plane would become dull to play

[@MCP2002]

​@@nateg876Not at all. Flight sims in VR are amazing if you have the specs to run them.

[@DanBlake3rd]

@@nateg876it’s the opposite for me. I have VirPil HOTAS that I’ve used for a few years and can easily find all buttons and switches without peaking. But it’s easy enough to peak under my headset if needed. I also have a trackball mouse near my left hand in order to manipulate cockpit controls. TBH, I don’t enjoy 2D gaming anymore.

RIP open alphas...betas...all in one now.

[@DW-nf9qe]

Okay, but did they fix the part where the game still can't function in EVERY JET with fully functional motion controls ONLY? Cause that seems to be the biggest flop/barrier to entry for most PCVR users...including myself. Seeing what VTOL VR did makes DCS look dissapointing...to say the least.

[@Yorickkinda]

Most jets can be flown fully with motion controls, it’s just unlike VTOL VR, the game isn’t designed from the ground up with motion controls in mind.

Hi, is there any way to disconnect the Cursor from VR Head set. And only control it with the mouse? My cursor follows wherever i look and i have to be extremely precise.

[@Yorickkinda]

Yeah, if you go to the VR tab in the game settings, underneath the pixel density slider is a checkbox for ‘Use Mouse’ if you pause at 07:38 you should see it

[@sahdinkhan1827]

@Yorickkinda thanks a lot for your reply. Really appreciate it. I did that. I can use the mouse now but still when I move my head the Cursor also moves with the HMD. So it's double movement now.

[@Yorickkinda]

@sahdinkhan1827 is this when flying? because I know when you look around it’s as if the cursor remains wherever you put it on screen but they you can move it independently once you’re looking at what you’re interested in. It’s super annoying and I wish it would go away

[@sahdinkhan1827]

@Yorickkinda yup when flying, it's so difficult to input something on the UFC or DDI. Because i need to be so precise. My head moves a little and the cursor follows or if I look at a side to check something and entire thing is messed up. Unbelievably disturbing and sometimes even unplayable.

[@Yorickkinda]

@sahdinkhan1827 yeah I try to bind as much as I can to the hotas to avoid needing to use my mouse because of that
