This video is a tutorial on how to record incredible looking DCS World 2.9 VR gameplay footage using OBS and some tips and tricks to go with it.
The last few videos I put out for DCS have all had gameplay footage VR. They were all recorded in real time, not using a track or playback feature and from that, the number one question I got was “OK how do you do that?” So here it is.
In this video I go over all the OBS settings, DCS Settings, OpenXR Toolkit settings and Nvidia Control Panel settings you will need to mimic the clarity and quality found in my content.

@thesquire5318 7 месяцев назад

Great video. Very informative. I do have a question/issue maybe you can point me in the right direction. I can record using OBS or shadow play, and edit using davinci resolve...however, I use oculus quest 2..w/o using openxr toolkit because I use steam and I had issues trying to get it to work..my point...how would correct the eye offset to get a more center view using the oculus? Any ideas would be wonderful. Again..I've always enjoyed your videos and look forward to more.

@Jabbers 7 месяцев назад

Only thing you can do is up the Pixel Density and manually offset in post. Downside is doing this may lower the video quality. You might be able to do something with the oculus mirror, but I don't have an oculus to be able to help tell you how

@thesquire5318 7 месяцев назад

@@Jabbers appreciate the response and all the info! I am working on getting MSFS recording first, then will swap to DCS.

@Arkaine_ 9 месяцев назад

I don't even use VR but I found myself watching the entire thing; because one thing that would make me immediately close someone's stream is if I see someone streaming in VR. Those things are unwatchable. I wonder why do they even bother streaming. I hope more people does this so that their streams cant be watchable.

@ItsDry 6 месяцев назад

I just picked up my first vr headset yesterday (quest 3) and I’m still learning and trying to find the best setting for me. My question is to experienced DCS VR players is is it a normal thing to not be able to spot enemy planes until your really close? I fly mainly ww2 birds and use vr zoom and spyglass but even then you have to be pretty close to see. Any answers would be much appreciated!

@Jabbers 6 месяцев назад

Spotting has always been an issue in DCS

@WhereNerdyisCool 6 месяцев назад

I can't seem to make this formula work. Meta Quest Pro headset, 4128 x 2096 and a PID of 1.5 via the Oculus Debug Tool. I can't seem to sort out how to compute what to place in OBS for the resolution(s)?

@jacobblumberg6299 9 месяцев назад

How are you extracting this footage off the PC running DCS to a second computer which is being used to record said footage? That is a confusing thought for me to understand. Is it possible for me to utilize my Razerblade 15 laptop for recording like your method?

@Jabbers 9 месяцев назад

Capture card. You setup your Gaming PC to duplicate your main monitor to the Capture card, then on the Recording PC you just bring in a Video Capture Source of the Capture Card and you are set. There are external Capture Cards you can purchase, so maybe.

@WhereNerdyisCool 9 месяцев назад

I have a Quest Pro with the Foveated Rendering plug in. I’m trotting along at 90 fps with my 4090 game rig. I’m wondering how well that will work capturing video?

@Jabbers 9 месяцев назад

Foveated Rendering looks awful for content creation imo. I'd love to use it but pointless due to that.

@AGenericAccount 9 месяцев назад

Does the setting in OpenXR tools for Windows Mixed Reality - "customised render scale percentage" affect the calculation?

@FranchDressing 9 месяцев назад

How is your footage so stabilized? I have done everything here but it is still shaky due to small head movements out of my control. I have to use warp stabilizer in premiere to get the effect you have here.

@Jabbers 9 месяцев назад

Good neck? No idea, if you are getting 60 fps it should look like that assuming your head isn't moving a lot. In situations outside of takeoff my head does move a lot and its a bit more noticeable, or if I am turning my head at a 90 degree angle.

@Templar7832 4 месяца назад

Not clear what to do here to me, I'm on the Oculus RiftS and there's nothing here about how to do it with that. Do I still need Open XR? Or use Oculus Mirror? And Nvidia card information but no AMD card info.

@Rlaxox 9 месяцев назад

Not really complicated, actually really helpful... Wait does that mean that if I cut off the unneeded FoV i get better FPS?

@Jabbers 9 месяцев назад

You will render less, so yes, slight increase.

@FACrazyCanuck 8 месяцев назад

Jabbers question. The HP Reverb G2 has resolution per eye of 2160x2160. How does that look in OBS output if you want to output to 1080 or 1440 for the recorded sim play?

@Jabbers 8 месяцев назад

I don't know, I don't have a G2, you would have to try it out or use the calculator

@FACrazyCanuck 8 месяцев назад

@@Jabbers sorry, after to posting I went straight to it and messed around with the OBS outp. Seems obvious but when I programmed 2160x2160 into the OBS output I produced a 1:1 picture. I must say I still like your original find by using Nvidia Contol to trick the monitor into 4k. This offers very nice crisp screen shots when flying in VR and crisp visuals in OBS. However I am still working on what you have put forward in this video. Thanks.

@British_Dragon-Simulations 5 месяцев назад

For the Pimax Crystal I put in 2880x2880 in the calculator and I set desired vertical resolution to 1440p and the Pixel Density said 1. The only way I can get a screen capture to look like High Definition 1080p on my 4K 16:9 monitor is to increase the Pixel Density to the maximum setting of 2.5 which then only gives me 40 fps at 100% GPU load on my 4090, even with aggressive Dynamic Foveated Rendering and DLSS. I've been trying to do this for three day's straight. I can't even get OpenXR Mirror running in OBS as it just shows a black screen. My old recordings from my Vive Pro and Reverb G2 looked much better than the Crystal. I don't understand what's going on and why all of a sudden my VR screen captures look like crap 480p.

@Jabbers 5 месяцев назад

Are you using quad views or any kind of foveated rendering? If so you have to use openxr capture plugin for obs, the DCS mirror will only show the lowest resolutions that the foveated rendering produces, this showing a fuzzy unclear image

@British_Dragon-Simulations 5 месяцев назад

@@Jabbers Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks for the reply but I finally fixed OpenXR Mirror by manually installing it myself by placing the text in Registry editor myself. I just need to fix the resolution and frame rate now as well as optimize the LVK Video Stabilizer OBS Filter.

One question I’ve got is how do you record on a second computer without running dcs on that computer also since you said your not using replay tracks

@Jabbers 9 месяцев назад

Capture card, just capture the monitor output

@solidsnakekillsu3783 9 месяцев назад

@@Jabbers so it captures and transmits it to the other computer

@Jabbers 9 месяцев назад

The Capture card is on the recording PC, it acts just like a 2nd monitor on the Gaming PC. So yes, it's just like setting up a regular monitor capture in OBS, but you do it through a Video Capture Source.

@solidsnakekillsu3783 9 месяцев назад

Might be worth while to do a video on how to set that all up

@Ready.A-10C 9 месяцев назад

Hi great video as always and good tips. I tried them, but did not get much results in my case, yet. (Varjo Aero, 90 Hz 2880x2720, currently running at 35PPD, 4090). Recommended NVCP settings were set already. Reducing the FOV in OpenXR Toolkit directly reduces the FOV in my headset. If I decrease it below 100% it is directly visible, both horizontal and vertical. When I reduce the OpenXR Resolution Height and set this to 1440, it greatly impacts the clarity inside the headset which becomes an unreadable mess. I tried the game mirror, but if I remember correctly I can't get the OpenKneeboard to appear in my OBS recordings. So I think not much for me to improve for now. Do you think reducing the DCS PD value will be benificial? Your calculator puts me on 0.89. When I enter it in the config.lua I don't see much of a difference in the recording.

@Jabbers 9 месяцев назад

I guess I should have stated you want a PD >= Calculator. Reducing PD is the same as changing the OpenXR Resolution, do not do both. When I did the math, you should have a 1.24 PD, not lower.... OR you should set the OpenXR Height to 2599 Check the spreadsheet again, I've added a column for your headset.

@Ready.A-10C 9 месяцев назад

@@Jabbers I did not do both at the same time. I have PD inside DCS set to 1 and tried the OpenXR Height adjustment, which gave me bad visuals inside the headset. Will try again.

@Jabbers 9 месяцев назад

And you set to 2599 or greater?

@Ready.A-10C 9 месяцев назад

Ok I'm baffled. How do I play on one system and record on another. I do have a second PC available, but I wouldn't have the first clue how to get the video from one machine to the other. I want to record on the other, but between flying multiplayer and networking to the other system, I'm worried about system latency. Can you shine some more light on this one?

You need a capture card, or if you have a good network you can use NDI

@eatthisvr6 9 месяцев назад

2:50, i dont understand that part. what are you actually adjusting using the calc? in game rendering? i have a g2 and the calc shows a pd of 1.19 (open xr 2570 height). do i need to setup it ingame to 1.2 and then try to get 60fps?

@Jabbers 9 месяцев назад

You are adjusting either the openxr resolution, or the PD in DCS, or the SS in steamvr... They all equate to the same increase resolution result in the HMD. Yes you need to increase your resolution and then figure out how to maintain 60 fps

@ytdlder 5 месяцев назад

First off: I am a noob when it comes to your excel sheet, but what I noticed: you "hard coded" the aspect ratio of your monitor (16:9)? Wouldn't we with 21:9 monitors need to change that? (I know for YT you should record in 16:9, but...). But maybe I'm just not getting it^^ edit: it's "E17"

@Jabbers 5 месяцев назад

Sure you can change it but typically the resolution you want to stream at is 16x9 since twitch and other platforms work best at that... But sure you can use any resolution you want I suppose. The caviar is that the less square it is the more you need to zoom and the shittier the quality will be.
