you still need help with this?

Don't know, you probably can with effort

The player cannot see the stuttering. That only shows up on youtube streamed playback.

yep

I use OBS to record Steam VR's view, The mirror on screen isn't good for recording, it's best to set the desktop res to a lower one and use the Steam VR view in OBS. There are other ways to record. I use Steam VR and obs.

i7 11900k rtx3090 g2 32gb win10

its definately cpu limited tlod the biggest hit then traffic im now running g2 at 110% res and game same but with dlss quality for 40fps clouds med ineed to do a g2 msfs vid with my settings next CPU will be amd 7950x3d or what follows with 5090 done with intel

@@maddabbo Gosh! I might be picking up an I7 and maybe a 1080 but with all of thos specs does it run perfectly no Vomit Producing image in the headset?

@@maddabbo I cant lie I dont really think vr is Cpu dependent Im managing to run some games like Gorilla Tag, Roblox Vivecraft on an i3 with a Gt630 and 4gbs of ram works fine and also to play Il2 do I neep Vorpx?

@winsi7958 Research the game, MSFS is very CPU dependant. Other games not so much. I can turn down graphics all the way low and lower resolution and still not make much more than 40fps in VR with it. It's not the VR or the headset MSFS is a CPU killer game.

Fair!

There are hotkeys and buttons for cockpit view movement and saving, also a reset view, the reset will reset to where you save it, by default it is a pretty good position you need to set a button to reset the view

sorry i wasn't really watching to know if people were actually using the videos I haven't played this in a LONG time but if I get back into it and update it I'll make a new sheet similar. That one is way outdated. I'm an 11900K now and 3090 GPU with HP Reverb still...

more like DCS

nope

It did for me at one time too but since has caused issue with distortion as you tilt your head. Many users get this issue and it effects other headsets with IL2 also.

do you think i shall downgrade to 72hz?

Try virtual desktop, there you can easily change the resolution of the headset

my wifi is really bad tho.

yes go down to 72 use amd FSR to render lower res and scale up. google amd FSR and search IL2 formus for AMD FSR

so oculus has mutile places to set the resolution when using steam vr they can muliply by each OTHER. So you only want to set the res in one place and have the other things set to 1x or 100%. I show how to set it in one of the videos.

Use Virtual Desktop...

By plugging it in it discharges slowly for me but it does still discharge slowly. Start with full charge and use link and I'd get more than 2.5 hours. Not sure how long but over 4 hours. d

Glad it helped!

I think IL-2 is too complicated to use the quest controllers. You can use them in Vtol VR though.

not sure woudn;t recomend this. Steam lets you setup controllers for any game and modify them. But I haven't tried that.

Not sure what is happening for you. I don't experience anything like that. It's perfectly smooth and uses projection to project the frames accurately when you turn your head fast.

So there are 3 places to set the resolution and they all effect the final resolution. In the oculus software you can set a value that adjusts res. I suggest setting this to 1x which is default. Then in the pixel override that is where it is set to something above one 1.2 is fine to try. As you change that you should see it change the as you modify it. The grid in the background is a good place to see it working. Set it to 2.0 and you'll see the background looks awesome. Then set it to 1.0 and you'll see the grid looks much worse. Try 1.2. You can change the pixel override on the fly and all you need to restart is steamVR after you change it. You can NOT change it while steamVR is running!! you must quit steamVR change the pixel override and relaunch steamVR for every change. SteamVR is the 3rd place to effect resolution. I suggest setting steamVR to 100% and with Oculus set to 1x this allows you to only use pixel override to control the resolution. Not that you should set the bottom settings first and after setting restart oculus server. encode res width 3696 and bitrate 250 Then restart debug tool and set pixel override to your test value. Then run steamVR with 100% set and let us know what it says the resolution is. If it's only 1600x1700 close steamVR after setting it to 100% not 82% and bump up pixel override value and restart steamVR and look at res again. Let me know what you get for value after trying in that order. You should also look into using FSR scaling but as it helps things look much better and gives better frame rates but I'll need to make a video for that after xmas, no time right now. You can search the forum for info.

Try virtual desktop, is more easy to set up

I won't have time to redo it any time soon sorry. I suspect you are stuck in the headset viewing the desktop as the game starts and not switching to the game. In VR you can switch back and forth between games and the desktop to control things. It sounds like your stuck in the desktop and don't know how to switch to the game. If memory serves correct it's the left hand controller joystick pressed in that switches to the steam vr desktop and back. Not sure if that will help. Maybe play the video a few times to catch it all?

go through the room setup for steamvr before launching IL2 make sure room setup is good for your seat setup

Going to be trying this out tomorrow, thank you for the video

So it can be good enough that I can see between the degree ticks on the top left of compass on P-51. It's not as good as the clarity on the HP Reverb G2 but approaches it at least to 90% but needs a power PC and graphics card to drive the over sampling to make it look that good. 3080 to 3090 needed to really get the most out of it. At that price point for SIM the Reverb is much better and worth it or consider the Vive Pro V2. I like the Reverb G2. But if you want a does everything well almost as good and you have a powerful PC then the quest 2 can look pretty good. You lose about 5fps to the Reverb G2 just in Quest 2 overhead and it's not as sharp. But it can look really good.

If you want to see how good it can look set it to super high settings that result in low frame rates and look at image for quality not smoothness and back off from there. I now have a 3090 and it can look really good the Reverb G2 looks awesome. Neither can be driven to full 90FPS at full res needed to get the most out of them. I run the Reverb G2 at about 2700 pixels per eye and scale it up 300% using FRS scaling. That scaling came out after I made the Quest videos. That scaling should work for the Oculus also.

3696 is i think = to 2x is close to 2x in pixel override? When I went above 4000 I got artifacts. 3696 seemed to be very good quality and it didn't impact my performance on a 1080ti to run it at 3696. The top number is fps the bottom is FOV. If you zoom the bottom number will change. 72 is max fps of quest by default you can make it go as higher but for PC VR I wouldn't recommend going higher unless you have a very powerful computer. If you are maxing 72 fps you can up the settings in game details to your liking and then balance fps with pixel override which sets your quest 2 resolution. I don't think the quest 2 goes to 144hz. It tops at 120 I think I don't run above 90 gennerally in stand alone mode. I run 72 for PC games but I don't use it often as I have an HP G2 also. I've been meaning to try some games with wireless standup but been lazy. It's not blurry for me with the settings in video and a 1.5 pixel override should look good. Remember to restart the oculus service after changing lower settings. Also there is a very narrow sweet spot for focus vertically. And if you wear glasses that sweet spot is harder to find if at all.

@@maddabbo thanks your quick reply! I am running a 3070, do you think this has an influence to take also 3696? of course I can try but it is still difficult to see the changes in VR as a beginner… regarding your other advice will crank up the settings in IL2 and take the last fps with pixel overide to end up at about 50fps 🤔 Was also looking for the Reverb G2 and thinking about buying it when the V2 is on the market. Are you using both headsets for IL2? If I am not wrong the G2 would be a better solution for sims….

@@Dozerboy84 I use the reverb for sims and the oculus for everything else Excersize, vr roomspace, and sometimes backup for sims. Reverb is better for sims. I believe all G2 sold in US are now v2 versions of G2. Mine is out for repair so I may end up in oculus a bit soon. I now have a 3090. The 3696 is one the the biggest things you can do to improve sharpness but requires restart of oculus services to see it take work. If you set it and start game it wont work. You need to set it. Restart services or restart computer and check that it is still set. Then set other things and try game. 1.5 should be sharp with 3696. You can approach 4000 but at 4000 I had issues. Slightly below as okay. 3696 seemed pretty high as you are not running the headset res that high so it's a very high buffer that is being scaled down. It doesn't seem to hurt performance that high in my testing.

@@maddabbo alright, thanks. Will play around with it. Will also buy the g2 v2 as soon as it is available in Germany. Is the debug tool (with your settings) also applicable for other games to improve the sharpness and resolution? Have tried the Q2 with stock settings on project cars 1 and it was looking quite terrible…

@@Dozerboy84 yes totally applicable default settings suck

Yeah when I get time I'll make a new video but very busy these days haven't even played IL2 in quite a while. Sorry

so at 8:29 in the video we are setting this to 1.0x. There are 3 settings for each number. Choose the line number and it should be the same as what I had I think? Or choose the one that is. It doesn't matter they are all very close. The point is to set the oculus software to default res and to modify res for Oculus and SteamVR using the Oculus Debug software so you control it all from one place. Set SteamVR to 100%. Then only adjust Oculus Debug to make changes to quest SteamVR resolution and Oculus Link resolution at the same time in one easy place where you can also control other things.

@@maddabbo makes perfect sense. Thank you.

@@dadnar7615 Sure enjoy...

FPS VR you can get it on steam store

@@maddabbo thanks been looking for ages .

For IL2 many including me can't use virtual desktop as it has a weird distortion when you tilt your head the world stretches. Circles become ovals. This doesn't happen in airlink. I use wired link as it gives great visuals and allows longer use. But air link did work for me. A long time ago I was able to use virtual desktop on quest1 no issues and it was awesome. I use it for many other games wirelessly. HL Alex, Gorn...

@@maddabbo I find virtual desktop way better than airlink or the cable .according to all the research it show not but it does sorry

Was a blast we miss you guys but there is no one on and nowhere to fly. So we went to combat box cuz of bots... Loving WWII also but miss WWI. We both just upgraded computer but not setup yet. In a few weeks we'll be testing new hardware...

Crazy German Dive Bomber!!! I miss that too... I miss that too...

Really nothing about the order?? I do start everthing up during the video. That shows the order. Did you watch the same video? I did meander around a bit as I'm no pro and was just doing this for a request and did things as they came to mind... I owe you six minutes. Send me a video to watch.

Awesome! Glad it helped...

@@maddabbo it also worked now i can play skyrim thanks!

Don't know where you got that from. I fly with full Thustmaster Hotas and pedals and extra throuttle quadrent. It is awesome for both WW1 and WW2. My videos were made on a G2. You'll love it...

@@maddabbo awesome yeah I ended up getting it enjoy it. On their steam store page for some reason it said that. I purchased from their website though and started with Bodenplatte

@@HoldenRiot bodenplatte is a perfect place to start. When you are ready check out combat box which uses bodenplatte combatbox.net/en/info/

Super fun!
