Just to add, if you see a strange artefact in the sky when using Link, turn off ASW. Cheers all!

[@paulct91]

1:03 - How does Blue Light filtering affect motion sickness?

[@Booze75]

How do I disable it? Im not seeing ASW on the debug tool or openxr. I fly with the FS Thunderbirds Demo team, love your settings with the Quest 3/4090. We fly with clear skies and im always getting a flickering with the sky itself. The FPS is amazing but the flickering makes me sick.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

@@Booze75 If you can send me a private message on my Discord channel. I'll send you a photo of where to find it. Love your displays btw, massive respect for being able to fly in formation like that.

[@LFOD1776]

Can you describe the artifact. Is it a weird shimmering?

[@gercho1991]

I have the same problem. What is ASW and where to find it. Thnaks :)

[@K11...]

Here's a tip. People notice different things when it comes to graphics. Start with everything on low/off, then set a tolerable render resolution. Then start upping settings only where you can tell something is missing, like clouds higher textures etc. If it doesn't bring anything substantial to the visuals, revert back to previous setting.

[@faziolifairmont8125]

No start of with everything on ultra and then lower the terrain level of detail until it feels smooth. MSFS is a cpu bound game. You can play it on ultra. It’s just the terrain slider that’s makes it choppy.

[@rollsboy]

Steve - thanks for all of these Quest 3 guide videos. I had a Reverb G2 and got a Quest 3 for Christmas upon your recommendation. I currently have a 3070Ti PC but am in the process of building a new PC with a new 4080 Super once they drop next week (I can't afford a 4090). These settings videos have me prepared and ready to go once I have my PC set up. These videos are SOOO useful for folks like us who want to enjoy flying but need help understanding all of the VR settings information which is admittedly a bit over my head. Cheers mate.

[@electrikkar]

I love Quest 3 with MSFS 2020. In terms of smoothness, what's been most impactful for me is limiting frames within the rivatuner app, instead of openxr toolkit or the nvidia control panel. I limit to 36 fps there and then set 72 frames in virtual desktop, with ASW. This completely smooths out the experience for me, and with a 4080, I find I can increase quite a lot of graphical settings in MSFS with no troubles (even running ultra clouds, which look incredible in VR). I would strongly recommend people give rivatuner a try if they're having issues with stuttering or hitching- it's been the most important change I've made to my own setup, with great results.

[@Error_404_Account_Deleted]

Similar setup here, and new to the Quest 3. Thanks for sharing your experience. 👍

[@docdutch6126]

re ordered the quest 3 due to your exellent review. It was max 15 minutes then headache so i send it back. Now ordered the strap and the gasket along with it. Lets see if things get better. Thanks my friend

That should hopefully solve things for you, keep me updated :)

[@pchappy2.0]

I have a similar system as you and started with your settings as a baseline. Been tweaking for a couple months and finally within the last couple weeks I really got it dialed in. I agree with you, this headset is phenomenal for the price, especially given where budget VR is going it seems. Thanks as always for sharing!

this is why msfs vr is ridiculous. this is the worst optimized piece of software i have ever seen in my life. take other games as an example: euro truck sim, assetto corsa, you start the game, you switch to vr, done. no tweaking for MONTHS no headache just fun from the first start. msfs is giving me depression

[@pchappy2.0]

[@HelmutBemboka]

Thanks Steve - I agree it's a fab headset! One of the main reasons I use the link cable, is to be able to adjust the horizontal FOV multiplier to 1.2 (Virtual Desktop does not allow >100%) This removes the black line that I can see in my field of view when moving my head from left to right and vice versa. Just wanted to mention this.

[@paulct91]

You should request that feature then, that Virtual Desktop dev seems pretty responsive sometimes to ideas.

[@dathyr1]

Thank you for this video on using the Quest 3 with MSFS SIM game. I have a Quest 3 and right now use it for SIM racing games, along with a RTX-3080TI GFX card, and use the USB link cable to connect to my PC. I have MSFS but have not flown any plane in the game. I know most of you are going for the Crystal headsets now in 2024. Do you have a tutorial in how to get even started in operating the first plane in MSFS?? I know a little bit about Aircraft since I was in the Air Force during the Viet Nam years and worked on and flew in a C-130 turbo prop aircraft. Was a fun 4 years being around the aircraft - the war was not fun though. Even got to sit in the Co-Pilots seat one day while the Pilot was doing some testing of the aircraft after repairs. Anyway, thanks for the video. Take care.

[@guybrushthreepwood3002]

Picked up a quest 3 the other day to replace my ageing G2, it's awesome and a worthy upgrade, and far more versatile and the clarity from the lenses is second to none

[@NorwegianDrone]

do you stil recomend upgrade from g2 to Q3?😮😊

[@guybrushthreepwood3002]

@@NorwegianDrone yes, just be aware for good PC usage, you'll need a dedicated WiFi 6 router, a battery pack, a new head strap, a link cable, so the price is not the price. The total was what I paid for my G2 at launch, but yes worth it.

Hi mate! Thanks again for a updated video. After finding the spots at the older video I am still trying to find a sweet spot here. Will definitely try these settings tomorrow for a new run of tests. I do tend to think I start to get crazy.. haha. But my sharpening of distant / horizon / scenery further then in front of the plane, is not getting better then the blurry textures / line I get in my glasses. Too much info online. So hope you know maybe in particular how to solve this? Cheers! And thanks again for the amazing vid.

You have finally agreed with me!

[@deutrolige]

Great video. I'm just starting with the MSFS and need to adjust a bit better my settings to get the most out of my RTX 4070 TI. I'll try to put the settings with the values somewhere in between the 3070 ti and the 4090 values that you show in the video and see how it goes 🙂

[@xjrthirteen]

Great video, Steve, thanks. I bought a second Q3 to give it another go, and I'm glad that I did. It's definitely got better in the few months since being released. One thing that people who use motion rigs and Virtual Desktop VDXR have noticed, when the rig makes sudden, sharp movements then the Q3 freezes and/or stutters and can only be cleared by exiting and re-entering VR. Have you noticed this with your DOF? I use a DOF H3 and have the same problems with VDXR, but no issues when using SteamVR in VD.

I do absolutely agree, Quest 3 with RD is my favorite headset for MSFS, I do own the Varjo Aero, nice clarity and comfort, but I am feeling much better with the Quest 3. I have removed the gasket using the bobovr m3. I can grab my coffee mug, see my cockpit, nice airflow. The experience with the Quest 3 has brought my VR flying experience to a whole new level.

VD overlay shows around 120fps, dipping to 110 fps occasionally. I find these settings the smoothest.

[@thestonefox]

Have you tried streaming to the Quest 3 via Virtual Desktop using their VDXR implementation of the OpenXR runtime? It definitely feels much smoother than the SteamVR implementation of OpenXR. Interested to hear your thoughts on a comparison.

[@EmesiS]

Link cable, 4090 and still using the Oculus Tray Tool. That's all I use and very happy with the results. The only reason I use OTT is to give the instruments a little bit more sharpness. Other than that I could fly without it and still be happy. I use it in MSFS2020 and X-Plane 12. Personally I think the Q3 is an excellent HMD and it will get better with additional updates. Just like the Q2 got better with time. I still use the Q2 on my race sim and I have no complaints. Thanks for the video Steve. Cheers!

DO IT. The sweet spot in the G2 is miniscule. So far I've only tried the G2 and the Quest Pro, and it's no comparison. What I'm hearing is that Q3 is superior to the QPro, especially in MR.

[@johnbowzerful]

I had the Reverb G2 for 2 years, and liked it a lot. But decide to try the Q3 after lots of reading and videos. The small G2 sweetspot did make me crazy. Still running i5-12600K/RTX3080. Q3 using VDXR is giving me best results. Really good clarity all over the cockpits and better FPS. Almost 2 months with Q3 now... sold the G2 yesterday.

[@AdrianTaylorUK]

Godlike mode - is to be recommended for all gpus. There’s literally no point in adding compression artefacts; the performance gain isn’t massive, and you can get it back with a better image by lowering resolution. This from a 1080ti and Pico 4 user, running MSFS with no issues at all.

[@bakzetary3145]

Thanks for the update on this VR setup. Been following multiple channels and threads to decide what to replace my G2 with. Software updates seems to have improved this device greatly now. However, the dreaded screen door effect, (SDE) keeps coming up? If the Reverb G2 still had some, SDE, I don't notice it anymore, (Used to it BUT ALSO not great eyes anymore, LOL!) So how do the two compare in SDE? If about the same, then decision is made because I would really like to try and go untethered with no cable since that was a continuous irritation to me with the G2 and past VR sets. Plus my new motherboard will have 6E WiFi for the new 7800 X3D in my upgrade. Thanks for any replies!

[@grindathotte]

You can see SDE when you look for it, but it's a very fine pattern and you soon forget it. It's only visible because the lenses are so good.

[@jamieknight326]

This is perfectly timed. I’m just getting settled on a Q3 + 4090 + 12700k setup and it looks amazing. Being able to read all the Buttons’s in the CJ4 is a game changer. One thing i can’t seem to fix is the cockpit jumping around a little when I move my head. If I pause the game everything stays in places… but when the game is running, things close to the camera stutter in a really distracting way. I was wondering if you’ve encountered this at all? Thanks for covering the VR flight sim space so thoroughly. I wouldn’t have brought the Q3 without your excellent insight.

[@ThorNjord]

Just as we see in this video? I noticed it is quite shaky and am wondering if Steve sees that in the headset?

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

​@@ThorNjordThat's due to talking, as the headset obviously moves with my face. I haven't personally experienced the issue from the poster above, it sounds like a possible tracking issue? I'm not sure. Might be worth checking to see if the Open XR toolkit latency option isn't too low.

[@grindathotte]

I often wondered whether the inside-out tracking might get confused by the image on the monitor. You could always try turning the monitor off and see if that helps (assuming you are sitting in front of it).

[@jango71]

Not me… no jumping at all.

[@bradimi3776]

Would 4060ti use the 4090, 3090 or 3070 graphics settings?

[@iankphone]

I cannot set that custom resolution as shown in the XR toolkit control panel. Alos, ASW enabled results in nasty wobbly artifacts behind propellers. I turned it off and enabled reprojection in the sim, seems to work well. YMMV. Also, coming from a video background I'm skeptical of stacking sharpening and over sampling solutions. Enabling AMD Fidelity FX in the sim and sharpening via Virtual Desktop as well as Snapdragon super resolution and over sampling in the toolkit...I'm not so sure about the effectiveness of that.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

See my pinned post 👍 But ASW only works if you can reliably hit the target FPS. You will see some artefacts though, aim to only need one fake frame (80hz, 40fps, 90hz, 45fps etc). Also try my half refresh rate FPS lock.

[@mabatu8]

Even with setting on Ultra , are the graphics much worse than without VR? i mean, just doesnt look the same, also there are no cars etc... is this by design?

[@K11...]

Hey! I bought the quest 3 to go with the 4090, my first wireless headset, coming from the reverb G2 and many others. It's interesting. Have mainly been running virtual desktop. Biggest supprise is the quality of display and the lack of streaming artifacting on highest VD settings. The tilted displays are a little bit annoying, but the readability is extremely high. I have an issue that looks like a tracking issue, but only occure in flight sims (not in standalone) and even when reaching full frame rate. I suspect it is the router. How ever it reports 860 Mbps @5Ghz and it should have a lot of headroom to run VD @200 Mbps flat. Latency is about 50 ms. Router is close to headset. Any Ideas?

did you solve it, ? im planing change from G2, is it worth it, and have you tried to conect the cable?

Hi thankyou for your kind words. That sounds like it's ASW, I'd recommend disabling it and then halving your FPS to half the refresh rate of the headset, using the open XR toolkit.

[@FabriceVouilloz]

@@VRFlightSimGuy Thank you for your Quick response. where can I turn off the ASW.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

​@@FabriceVouillozYou can use the debug tool shown in the video. You can find it in your Oculus folder

@@VRFlightSimGuy Thank you for the answer. I tried everything, unfortunately, I still have the same problem. I still have to look for the source. See you soon

[@spc83]

Do you recommend any particular variant of Quest 3 (128 or 512GB) for VR flight? Or is that a wash for this type of gaming?

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

For PC VR, def go with 128

[@waltersbg]

​​@@VRFlightSimGuy But that's just because of cost, right? If someone already had the 512GB, it would work exactly the same as the 128GB for PCVR, right?

[@MrAustinH]

Correct. Other than the storage size everything else functions the same. Just not worth buying the higher size of you only plan to use PCVR.

[@nerolowell2320]

just a question not related to MSFS, how does the quest 3 perform alone i mean without a support of PC or any other device ? is it lower or the same ?

[@Jay1787]

I played the free game you get and I couldn't tell the difference between playing on my pc using steam link. I'm sure there was one there but I couldn't tell. Having the option to steam link to PC is so freaking easy to put on, playing wireless VR is magic. I went from HTC Vive to HP Reverb G2 and now Meta Quest 3. The Q3 is easily the best one i've used yet and everything just works.

[@xjrthirteen]

It's excellent with games made specifically for the Q3, such as Assassin's creed or AW2, but the graphics aren't massively improved with Q2 games that haven't been optimised for the Q3.

[@jamiesalmonsculpture8599]

Everything got so pricey I'm scared to try any new HMDs. A measly 3080 system almost seems your taking a risk with new VR hardware. There's no way im upgrading my pc so i guess I'm stuck with a soon to be defunct G2. Bowing out of the VR race. It was brief but fun

[@Potatosaurusrex1]

I have a 3080 and was in the same boat as you. I ended up with a Q3 and on my system it's fantastic. If your still wanting to pursue VR and saving wouldn't take you forever I dont think the head set will disappoint you.

[@waltersbg]

I still fight sim with my G2 even with a 4090. I love the G2 and it's not going to be defunct "soon". By the time it matters that WMR is being dropped, the VR and PC landscape will be so different anyway. I strongly believe that the best VR headset is the one that you decide to like. Everybody can find a reason to dislike any VR headset. I've just decided to like my G2 and, lo and behold, I do!

I run a 4070 with a Ryzen 7 5800k , does anyone have experience with MSFS vr with the same specs?

[@PaulMcDonagh-rv6vc]

I have been giving many weeks to this very topic. Here are my own thoughts: Quest 3 is pretty crappy as a standalone device. Graphics are meh, and games boring. Quest 3 as a PCVR unit, is very, very nice. However, I have some bugbears, and im not sure if its my settings, or my expectations at fault. I have so far only used quest 3 in DCS. Am using steam, with oculus VR launcher. 1. FOV - the fov seems ok, as if your wearing one of those WW2 facemasks (goggles) that spitfire pilots wore. Its good, but not amazing. Can this be altered? I don't know. 2. Graphics are good, great even, but not amazing or stunning. I am using a Ryzen 7800xd with 4090. My oculus is set to max graphic settings, which can only be run at 72hz. But still I get some shimmering. I can remove 95% of the shimmer by msaa set to x4 in game, with x8 antistropic. I get a steady 72hz on most maps, with an ocastional 1% low of around 65. On MP maps, its steady 50-70, with occastional 1% drops to 40ish. But still I experience lesser graphic quality than someone using no VR on a LCD screen with a 3090? Is this just the limitations of VR? Dont get me wrong, id never go back to screen 2d play, but I just want mooore! LOL. 3. Bitrate at 940 seems to give me extra latency. It also seems to give the rare micro stutter in DCS. Seems to me that bitrate set at 500 seems better for stability. I have also heard from a meta tech, that bitrate never exceeds 350 anyway in game. True? Any tips, or knowledge would be good.

What if your wifi 5 which is 5Ghz and you get the TP-link axe 5400 router. Would the router make it go up to wifi 6 and 6ghz or do you have to upgrade to fiber internet to get wifi 6?

[@markhall3440]

@@dronetuber833I think if you connect the AXE to PC via Ethernet cable using it as a dedicated access point then it would be 6e to your quest 3. You need nothing else on that dedicated access point . Rest of the house could use 5g off your non dedicated router . Your internet speed has nothing to do with wifi 6 signals . That’s how I have mine set up .

Vid on the channel. Make sure you are subbed if you're not already 👍

[@faziolifairmont8125]

I believe you are cpu bound. You should be able to play it on extremely maxed ultra settings. The thing you wanna turn down is the terrain level of detail slider that eats into your cpu. You can use the autofps mod to do that automatically and dynamically. You just set it to 40 fps for example and then it automatically changes the TLOD. The rest of your video I can’t really agree with. Try this.

I bought a Meta-Oculus Rift S one year before they dropped their support of this product. The Rift S worked well until I updated my computer. Now two years later and after a year of Meta stupid suggestions for getting my Rift S working again, it's still not working. I have a $400 paper weight that Meta refuses to fix even though they say my new computer should not be a problem. I cannot recommend buying any Meta products due to their lack of customer service and having a chance of the same dropping of older products support. Meta basically has no customer service and only lip service!

Once you throw some more money at it for accessories, and with the advent of VDXR, things have improved greatly. You're bound to love it with a 4090 which is something I've said from the beginning.

[@captainwealthy]

What a complete and utter waste of time and, thankfully, not money. DO NOT BUY the Meta Quest 3. The air-link is a nightmare and the whole process is aimed at Facebook trying to control you. If it wasn't the convoluted log-on every time in FlightSim, it was the image pixelating when you turned your head more than 45 degrees. I'm now back using my trusty HP Reverb g2, until something better comes out with a cable AND power supply (like the HP Reverb has) to give me more than 1.5 hours of flying. Thankfully the store offered me a 14-day return no quibble if not happy with the purchase. The Meta Quest 3 is a VR that should be in the US$150-200 price bracket.

[@stcs992]

Regarding encoding bitrate. 4070 Ti Super, 4080, 4080 Super, 4090 have 2 hardware encoders on board and are capable of high bitrates. 4070 Ti (nonsuper) and below have 1 encoder and can struggle starting from 300-400 depending on the game. Maybe it will save you some guess work EDIT: 4070Ti has 2 encoders too. my bad.
