SBS 3D Aspect Ratio

[tetra]

Taking my first steps into messing around with VR at the moment and spent today trying to get things sorted out in preparation for a colorcross + LG G3 coming soon. However the one thing I can't seem to make any headway on is getting the aspect ratio in SBS 3d set correctly. Have read nearly every thread here on the forums and elsewhere where it is suggested to create a new resolution profile in nvidia control panel, which I have done, however I keep coming up against the same issue where in fullscreen mode it doesn't seem to apply the resolution correctly (tons of black space) or in borderless mod, no change, or in windowed mode, I end up with the window stretching way off into my 2nd monitor.

For anybody running Elite on thrift VR with android what kind of settings for resolution are you using? Suggested for LG G3 is 2560x2880 for 1440p but do you run in fullscreen? Or borderless or windowed mode ? No matter which option I seem to try none of them seem to fix the aspect ratio (aside from windowed mode) but then I have issues streaming that to Kinoconsole, which currently gives me the smoothest performance.

Any help at all on this would be hugely appreciated.

I created a custom shader in reshade that stretched and translated the render to remove that black space.
but the most recent E update deleted my shader files, and I didn't back it up, so it's lost for ever unless I decide to get of my R's and write it again,
anyway, for the experiment I was trying, I couldn't get a better result than what I got with the DK2, so I just simply gave up.
One of my issues though, was that the FOV wasn't big enough in SBS 3D when at max scale to just keep me satisifed.

Ah seanwasere that's a real shame sorry you lost your work, I also found something similar the other day by a user here who wrote a sweetfx shader to do the same, sadly the main.h file from that shader doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks for the input though!

Hi Kyokushin yes! I have read your tutorial, which is great btw fantastic work putting that up for everybody! I still can't seem to fix the issue even following your tutorial though, which setting do you use, fullscreen/windowed/borderless ? If i set to full-screen then pick my custom resolution inside the game the entire game scales under my native resolution (1920x1080) so everything has massive black borders around it and I can't seem to get it to work in windowed or borderless mode either.

Yes, it will be scalled, but it doesnt matter what you see on monitor. Limelight in your smartphone should stretch image where finally you will got good proportions. My method is a little cheat of scalling mechanism in game and limelight.

Thanks again Kyokushin, will give limelight a try, don't have very good Wifi here and it only seems to work with wifi but I will try. So you have ED in fullscreen mode?

Ok all figured out, thanks again to Kyokushin for the tutorial. Finally managed to get limelight working via USB tethering which I had been having issues with for the past couple of days. All working great now, albeit on a very tiny original Galaxy Nexus screen (1280x720). Hopefully the LG G3 will provide better results . And yes to answer my own question, even though Koykushin has suggested the same in the post above mine, run ED in full screen with the custom resolution set up in Koykushin's tutorial.

As a side note for anybody else who stumbles across this post and is having issues with limelight (even though it's not relevant to the original post). This is the order of things I personally have to do to get it working via usb tethering.

Spoiler

1: CONNECT PHONE TO PC
2: TURN ON AIRPLANE MODE ON PHONE
3: TURN ON USB TERTHERING ON PHONE
4: WAIT FOR IT TO CONNECT TO PC - LET WINDOWS DIAGNOSE/REPAIR IF IT WONT ASSIGN A PROPER IP
5: CMD WINDOW/IPCONFIG TO GET THE DHCP ASSIGNED IP ADDRESS (THE ONE WINDOWS HAS ASSIGNED TO THE PHONE NOT YOUR NORMAL ETHERNET IP)
6: USE THAT IP ADDRESS FOR LIMELIGHT + FREEPIE IMU
7: LAUNCH ED / OPENTRACK
8: CONNECT TO ED IN LIMELIGHT

Dear FD, and how about this SBS mode. Any chances to non standard SBS mode without horizontal squezze?

We have now:

But we need it:

Dear FD.

VR share is growing up. Any chances for mode with correct aspect ratio for Cardboard VR?
