reshade VS DesktopPlus

Adv stuff: Pagefile adjustments helped greatly on large MP missions, some ' Mustang ' guy on ED forums has a clear tutorial (unlike these donkeys in the comments saying google it). You can use other shaders listed in comments, I used ' Fholgers universal shader ' its a saturation & sharpening premade shader, install and leave it on, other shaders have more tuning options but you are not likely to get perf. increase from any given shader. (but it makes DCS look so much better on the G2)

I use https://github.com/fholger/reshade/releases/tag/openvr_alpha2 has a preloaded saturation & sharpness filter, makes the game much nicer to look at.

Same, we do not deserve fholger, that wonderful soul. I just saw he made an openReshade as well, might have to test it out lol.

For me downloading reshade and using this postprocess filter helped quite a bit with the clarity of VR. Also if your on a quest or rift headset, downloading Skatezilla’s DCS Updater Utility helps force the game to launch in steam vr, which will allow you to use that reshade mod.

Reshade OpenVR support

To get this look, I installed Artistic Skyrim Overhaul - Paint Flavour and removed the character folder, then overwrote it with Kanjs - Borderlands Style Retexture Mega Pack and Total Character Makeover. Then I installed the VR version of Reshade and used the Borderlandfy2077.fx with another cel shading mod called Outline.fx (that I can't seem to find a link for now, sadly) and tweaked the settings on them a bit.

few overlay apps on steam allow for this. i like desktopplus >> https://github.com/elvissteinjr/DesktopPlus

I still think you remember the wrong name here, https://github.com/elvissteinjr/DesktopPlus only does Desktop mirroring, while https://www.vrdesktop.net/ does what you said.

Desktop+

btw. if you don't mind reading, the User Guide adds a few sentences for each setting and has some step-by-step guides at the end. Most of those guides have a lot of steps... yeah, that's something that also gets ironed out in the new UI.

More details about the additions can be found in the Steam announcement. The new release can be found on Steam as well as on the GitHub page, in the releases section.

Just one thing I'd like to add: you absolutely can have overlays and even complete desktops in VR. Like everything else it's a hassle to set up, but once it works it works. I use Desktop+ for SteamVR (https://github.com/elvissteinjr/DesktopPlus/tree/master) which is free and open source, although there are several alternatives including CrewChief's very own VR overlays.

https://github.com/elvissteinjr/DesktopPlus looks like a good starting point for an app that doesn't use SteamVR. SteamVR was first so it has a lot of buy in. I think with OpenXR replacing WMR that all VR devices ought to work now without SteamVR as long as the OpenXR implementation provided by WMR services them, which it ought to.

Launching Desktop+ manually from its executable does not invoke Steam at all. If you need auto-launch alongside SteamVR but without Steam, use the standalone build available on GitHub and uninstall the Steam version.

If you're totally lost, there's also a simple step-by-step guide, however.
