Any idea if The VR Performance increase made it in this beta?

Just flown Caucasus instant action spitfire mission and cant see any performance increase, although a constant 45 FPS I dont expect to get 90 FPS when the changes come I feel I will hopefully notice the difference

Apparently not.
I appreciate knowing theyāve been able to help VR performance, but if its not ready for immediate release, Iād rather they keep it to themselves until its ready to drop.

Switching Hollo Pointe North to the new dedicated format. It involves an uninstall/re-install but thatās fine.
The old way was 141GB of disk, should be almost a third now.
Edit: Now about 57GB.
Iāll be restoring SLmod configuration and Iāve also started with SRS.

Double edged sword here. Half the community wants constant āwhat are we working on updatesā and the other half would prefer just to see it when it reaches something playable.

I think in this case itās good to know how things are progressing and a ballpark of the improved frame rates since everybody is getting ready to invest in the 2019 VR generation, and itās good to know how the platform will be in the near future.
Nearly 3 years ago, they removed the pixel imposters for āsomething new in worksā. But here we are with poor visibility still. So announcements without action are a tad premature, IMO.
the what of the what now?!
Kind of a cheat mechanic to get around the terrible, terrible spotting and LODās that was in place.
Yeah and they worked halfway well.
A little tweaking and they would have been fine IMO.

Yeah I been getting my VR kicks with IL2. Its so well optimized for VR. Just cant wait for ED to release thisā¦
Would be interested to see the HARM changes in MP. Keen to use SRS on HP and HPN. Will endeavour to ignore family tonight and get online.
HARMs are still reported (as of today, with patch) to be going after the wrong target (closest or maybe strongest emitter) but maybe the flight path is better so they will hit.
Will try to be on for a bit today too.

For now weāre adapting and trying other tactics - more targets to practice with the JDAM and Mavericks!! Or practice your missile dodging maneuvers. Sometimes we call in @Franze with some dive-bomb style Sidearm shots. Canāt call something a simulator if you never have to go to plan B!

Does it create a crash file when it happens?
