Couldn't agree with you more. AMS2 is a big step backwards once you've raced any of the other sims. Even GT7 is superior. Sorry AMS2 fan boys. But before Id spent any time in other sims I thought AMS2 was great. Unfortunately there's no going back once the mind has been expanded. I have 7 other sims that do a better job and only 24 hrs. in a day

Btw how are you recording your vr view in LMU? Are you using the steam vr view or direct capture?

I've been meaning to get back to my 24h of le mans save, I'm currently in the 7th hour, so I'll try your settings and see how things go. I also agree with you when you said that LMU is "amazing", its a very underrated sim, it has the best physics and ffb and surprisingly the sounds are very solid, along with the promising VR whicb i greatly enjoy. Thanks for the video

I'm also seeing micro stutters, or jitters or judders that don't appear to be related to frame drops. I'm seeing it on my Quest 3 at 72Hz, 80 and 90 and RTX4090. Don't know how to dial it out. But looks similar to frame timing issue that I've seen in AC but was corrected by a setting on Content Manager related to frame timing and interpolation

Also there is no need to run the monitor resolution doesn't need to be at 4k, that should help your performance. I agree that both rF2 and LMU look amazing when compared to real life.

What I also often use is to adjust the world scale in steam vr. Sometimes I find that vr reduces the image, it depends on the vr glasses. If I set it to 120 or 110, I have more the feeling of really seeing it in auto at true size.

Great video, how did you record the actual VR footage? Can you share?

i tried LMU VR 2 days ago after the update that was 2 days ago, and im pleasantly surprised! there is no more stutters when you open the UI during a race session. during a race i rarely get a stutter and that is pretty surprising, even compared to iRacing which i do get a stutter each race. so yeah its still not perfect, but its good enough that i never race in a single screen. even in a multiplayer race its still pretty darn good in a RTX 4080 system

Settings - Lock to horizon and Head Physics. The SIM is working tip top after latest patch in VR on Nvidia gfx, AMD folks still have a few issues and should use the beta.

Not gonna lie though, I think one of the main reasons I'm satisfied is because I purchased at the right time. I kept a close eye on Bigscreen's blog where they talked about their supply issues, and the fact they would receive a new batch of parts some time in August 2024 and people who purchased before August would have to wait longer. So I made the purchase in September, knowing they would have more supplies. I still waited 2 or 3 weeks, but when they announced 1-week delivery, my headset was shipped the same day. That was an infinitely better experience than having to wait months or an entire year like the early adopters.

Run game on low No mrsa Full screen Always quit game and sream vr when you've altered anything Turn off vsync in game Nvidia has global 3d settings lock fps to 72fps in steam vr alter

Not noticing stuttering except when fps drops below 90. Maybe im too busy tinkering with the appearance settings in openxr toolkit. Rtx 4090 quest 3 intel i9 12900kf

Ryzen 7800X 3D. RTX 4080 Super Corsair Vengance 32GB@6000Hz, Samsung 900 PRO SSD, Bigscreen Beyond, currently experiencing stuttering while driving. Make sure motion smoothing is set to off in steam vr settings.

I have no stutters with my psvr2, I have 7900xtx, I always turn off all image enhancers and have had lock set to high. I turn everything off and set it to low, from there I build up with settings. And in the software of AMD drivers I also turned off everything except anti lag.Play at 120 hertz.

Im so over tinkering PC sims for the moment. Ill wait till everything gets fixed. In fact Im so over it Ive been playing mostly GT7 on my PSVR2 lately. Since Simhub introduce support its totally change GT7 for me. Somtimes you just wanna sit down and race

Haven't tried the new update, but for now I haven't experienced stuttering outside of what you get during the long load screen. Also no issue with bumpy tracks in vr. I am using a Vario Aero which is a bit heavier than the Big Screen.

AMS2 v1.6 would like a word.

I want that headset so bad. Pretty happy with the quest 3, the lenses are just phenomenal, but it needs DisplayPort. The USB-C is holding it back....compression adds latency.

Speaking about glare, I do see them when there's very bright white spots on what I'm looking at. Still, I feel like it's a bit blown out of proportion. Yes, it's there, but it's not THAT bad, at least in my opinion. Well, I guess some people don't like having it at all x)

great video, you tried the LMU for a long time before giving your opinion, and that is correct. More people should do this and not just play for a few minutes to compare. I completely agree with you, LMU is far superior in terms of its work

I read an article that they worked with Nvidia on development. I hope I don't get shafted with poor performance on my AMD RX 6800 16gb

This is from a very”Amateur “ Sim racing VR user….I finally gave LMU a try after purchasing on day 1 of EA…and Although not perfect,I’m having an absolute blast in LMU and have not drove in ACC since the LMU latest update…I only hope The LMU team can stay together long enough to bring the GT3 cars into the sim.

I realised something: if I use the normal soft strap alone without the top strap, even though I used Velcro loop to hold the video cable, it tends to weight down on the strap as I play, making it slip down on my head. To fix that, what I did is I'm setting the strap higher in the back on my head, like in between the back and the top, where the head is thinner, before tightening the strap. This way, since the back of the head is thicker, even if the cable wants to make the strap slip down, it cannot. So far it's been working fine. But I'm still eager to get the 3D printed soft strap mode to add the top strap in halo strap mode.

Yesterday evening, I tried using the headset for 3-4 hours straight. At some point, my view became somewhat blurry even though I knew the lenses were clean and were not covered in fog (that's only at the beginning). That's when I realised my eyes probably got dry from being super isolated and with the headset being somewhat hot (not that hot; unlike the Vive Pro 2). So I removed the headset and took a break. I guess that's something I'll have to take into account too x) But yeah, after several days of using it, I think I'm happy with it. Thank you.

I received my Beyond while I was still sick. Tested it when I got a little better. I think I'm going to need getting used to it. When compared to my Vive Pro with the official thin leather cushion, the field of view is somewhat smaller (if I open Steam overlay in SteamVR, I could see a blurred clock with the Vive Pro in the lower right corner, whereas the clock is out of my field of view with the Beyond). Sometimes, I used to open the Steam overlay in VR to benefit from the giant curved desktop screen, but with the somewhat smaller Beyond field of view, it feels slightly too big, so I have to grab the line at the bottom of the overlay to push it further, and then it's perfect. I ended up setting the luminosity to 50%. Initially, I attempted to set it straight to 10%, but that clearly looked way too dark for my liking. 50% makes it look normal enough to my liking; at least it reminds me of the Vive Pro (even though I was told the Vive Pro was eye burning bright). Screen door effect is completely gone, which is nice. Now I can use my VR headset as an actual screen replacement. Still, it's good that I went from a Vive Pro to the Beyond, because you have to move your head more than your eyes. If you move your eyes, you quickly get out of the field of view. As for light leakage and micro OLED dark? I cannot say much about them, since with the Vive Pro, I already had perfect light isolation and OLED black. You do see a very little light leakage with the Beyond when you put the headset on without plugging in the video input, but once you plug the wire, it's gone. I'm still waiting for my 3D printed soft strap mode to make it more comfortable. I don't want to purchase the audio strap because I want to use my own IEM. Still going to need to get used to it, but I do believe it is a headset for me. But it's definitely not a headset for everyone.

*Я думаю разработчики положили ОГРОМНЫй БОЛТ на VR режим этой части,поэтому что,что бы ты не делал у тебя будет мыло,спасают только энтузиасты,которые пилят моды для первой части ассетто корса,там VR c в миллион раз лучше,если разрабы и в AC EVO обосрутся с VR-ом, я им больне ни копейки не занесу...*

Great review. I have one. The field of view is.... very narrow indeed. I hooked up my HPG2 to my daughters PC last week and was astonished by its AMAZING FOV. I guess i got used to the Big Screen Beyond !!. It's definitly a compromise. Same as oyu, its oe i think on balace was worth making for the positives regards weight. I would love one of these with adjustible IPD, mine wa also off. it was too wide. and with a generic gasket so i could share it. all in all... im pretty much of th esame opinion as you. good review !

Really awesome,,, very nice.

The sector bar and other stage information is missing from your views as it is when I use my Reverb G2 but it is there with my Pico headset. Do you know why it is missing in your view and how to turn it on?

How did you manage to record the live VR view? Strangely when playing it in VR, there is escape menu on the main monitor during a race. :)

You are yonna get bored with limited amount of cars and tracks in LMU. I like ams2 for all the content. It has flaws but it is more fun than any game in VR

I’m currently on AMS2 Beta and with its leaps in improvement regarding physics and ffb it still is far away from what LMU offers. Imagine having the best of both games.

Thanks for the link to this Video and the settings. May I ask if you use somethin like repojection or smart smoothing.. so to render only the half of the 75 frames. or is native? 26 cars and MSAA 8x will kill my system at Render Resolution set to 3k x3k. I own a RTX 4090 and a 7800x3D but have Pimax Crystal with dynamic forvetead rendering and openxr

Another great video MW 👏

My complaint about your KZbin is this. Your title is: "Is Automobilista 2 VR better than Le Mans Ultimate - VR Update". Except you really didn't limit yourself to VR. You made your AMS2 comparisons all about the physics/driving/feel...which has no connection to VR

RaceRoom is still the superior experience in VR, in my opinion...with LMU coming in a close second. Until AMS2 figures out FFB and tire physics (1.6?), it's in 3rd.

Good video 👍

Whilst i agree with your opinion that LMU currently offers the better driving experience, I strongly disagree that AMS2's FFB is Arcadey. FFB and Physics are two entirely different conversations and are often confused. If you aren't feeling exactly what you want to feel from your force feedback, then it's your ffb profile settings, period. Instead of trying other ffb profiles you've found, definitely try to build your own profile, strip back any wheelbase 'extras' and use the in-game ffb first, before adding in any external wheelbase software extras like intertia, damping etc. Physics on the other hand, I agree. Currently LMU offers a better driving experience, in fact, i'd go further and say no other sim offers the driving experience that LMU does. AMS2's physics, like you described, overdriving the car to produce quick lap times, with very little danger of losing the car are unrealistic, thankfully a major re-work has been undertaken and with the imminent release of the 1.6 update have largely been addressed. Currently, you can totally take the piss with overdriving, in 1.6, you'll quickly swap ends if you try to drive over the limit. Not saying they are LMU physics but they are massively improved. VR implementation, there really is no comparison, AMS2 is still the benchmark, far more polished and that was the title of your video, is ams2 VR better than LMU VR. performance is far superior in ams2 than LMU. At the end of the day, all of these opinions are entirely subjective. ask the same question regarding one sim versus another to 20 different people and you'll most likely get 20 different answers.

I dont agree with your observation ffb in AMS2 to be honest, I respect it, but Arcade ffb, no, I dont think so.

Is the loading times better as in RF2? Rf2 is one of the best, maybe the best i know, but 3 minutes to load up a track can kill the fun.

You make custard with milk!!!

Feels a bit premature given AMS2 is on the cusp of a major update that will change the handling of the cars, but gives you an excuse to do another video I guess lol. Would be interested in how do you find the AI in LMU? Is it possible to do an online championship? Ta 👍

I like your comments about intuitiveness of driving experience. Totally agree. Was pushing my Sebring time and was struggling in GTE to go under 2:00. So addictive and setting laptimes 2:00.1 lap after lap and then finally get a 159.5 was such an amazing feeling. The whole journey and experience to get better times and improve. The feeling on the brakes, turn in speed and pushing the limits more and more feels so intuitive.

I really can't get along with AMS2 no matter how much I want to. The force feedback feels like I'm on a belt driven wheel despite being on a thousand dollar base.

Both sims are outstanding in VR! LMU is my no1 along with AMS2. AMS2 is more polished in VR, has better cars spectrum but man! ...LMU physic and sounds is unmatched.

Wow, I wasn't expecting your comparison result! Purely on VR visuals, I tip my cap to AMS2. But if combining VR and intuitive driving feel, then LMU takes the cake. Fun factor and ease of use is still with AMS2 as a complete package, but if LMU can polish the VR experience more e.g., HUD, menus, micro-stutters, etc. then LMU complete PKG will be better than AMS2. But the future of LMU looks to be up in the air and I don't know if I want to commit to it fully as my preferred sim

Much is good about LMU. But I think the lighting is wrong in LMU (everything is way too bright) and it is extremely performance demanding. I get worse performance in LMU with 72 Hz and 1.0 super sampling compared to AMS2 90 Hz and 1.5 super sampling.

I can see the sim with this IFR add on just in 2D in my VR headset. Do know what I do wrong?Every other add on works fine in VR

What are your ingame graphic Settings?

I still think this game offers the best driving experience. It’s fun to drive, it feels like you’re driving an actual race car and elevates the sim experience. Combined with a motion sim it’s incredible. I hope they pull through and I have to agree, the VR is better than ams2 which always looked cartoony to me.
