This is one of my favorit MSFS VR channels - good work Steve.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Wow, thanks! Really appreciate it

[@o.s.racing]

It's a math solution why this works. If you can't hold 90fps, every time your fps drops the frame is delivered mid way through a refresh. It causes stutters and potentially tearing as well as the frames are out of sync. Let's assume you get dips down to 60fps, you'd be better off running capped at 45fps as this will just get a new frame every 2 refreshes instead and you won't get frames delivered between the refreshes. These are still in sync and delivered at the right time. It just means the same frame is being displayed for 2 refreshes. For MSFS it would work perfectly. Not so great for faster moving games like sim racing. But great tip!

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Brilliant explanation thankyou 👌

Nice one Dave 👍

[@SirDazzyB]

This is a really great tip! For all it's faults the frame pacing in MSFS2024 is outstanding. Lower frame rates are much smoother than in 2020 so a locked 45fps feels fantastic. I'm locking it using the NVIDIA control panel and it works very nicely on the Q3 running through Virtual Desktop.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

[@montrose699]

I agree Steve, I find many people get hung up on the fps number. It's far smoother to run at something that is constant than something your system is struggling to achieve.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Spot on mate. Thanks for watching

[@o.s.racing]

Exactly this. FPS is at a stage of diminishing returns. When the world moved on from 30fps to 60fps it was huge and you see a significant benefit especially for faster moving games. But honestly for me at least 60 to 120 wasn't as big a deal and beyond 120 I couldn't tell you the difference so long as it's locked. That's why I don't get as excited about frame generation. It's cool, but I'd rather have a locked 60fps than a frame generated 120 (assuming monitors, 45 or 90 for VR most often). Frametime is what people should really care about, and what developers should be targeting. Of course, competitive Fortnite players will want the extra frames where it can mean the difference between making the shot or not, but that's not me

[@jamessimmons8352]

[@phil_nicholls]

A well timed video - confirming for me that I've got pretty much everything right - or at least that I was on the right track. Literally just finished my 9800x3D build this afternoon, repurposing my 4090 until the 5090 becomes available. And in sim, set a 45fps target (before seeing your video) - I didn't set anything different in Varjo base though (I may go back and take a look at that). Set 'High End' as my PC type in the VR tab, and left everything else as the sim suggested. Perfectly smooth and playable, right out of the gate. Now just need to redo all my bindings! And figure out a way of getting rid of all the trees from the Orkney Isles. Having a better evening than my son, who is stuck on Benbecula, unable to operate the mail flight up to Stornoway then Glasgow, as the X-wind is gusting over 50kts and the ATR72's limit is 28kts in the wet (and it is very wet)! If you fancy a challenge this evening, try flying in and out of the Outer Hebrides islands with current real weather - it's a lot of 'fun'!

[@SirMLP]

Nice setup. Wow, thanks for sharing the challenges your son is facing, I assume as a real pilot :). I hope the weather improves soon.

@@VRFlightSimGuy yes, incredibly proud of my lad, following me into the profession; and jealous as heck - him doing ‘real flying’ vs me ‘sitting on my @rse for 10+ hours at a time!’ As far as the 9800x3D goes - it’s early days obviously, but it’s quite a beast of a processor. I moved up from a 5800x3D, which itself is no slouch.

interesting. I had only turned off Lock and half frame to see how much headroom I had over that ... to see if I could/should up any of the settings (room for improvement). Neat to know that putting back at lock might be more smooth yet, and also freeing up resources for other things in the sim.

Being doing this for a while now with my reverb g2 I think from one of your older videos works great for me if you can achieve it but I can with a 4090😎

[@GD-lv8cc]

I noticed this as well. I will have to try 120fps with a 30fps cap, thanks for the tip! I can hit much higher frame rates without tracking issues in dlss/performance like 45fps or hit much higher quality with dlss/dlaa without tracking issues at 28fps. Also going into the nvidia control panel program settings and adjusting the texture filtering down to performance makes a big difference.

[@JohnTheBodge]

Had my first VR flight an hour ago - a circuit in the C172 at NZHN (Hamilton, New Zealand) and tried TAA, which I always use in 2020. It went okay - there was one small phase of stuttering (while taxiing after landing), probably streaming, but otherwise very acceptable. I didn't have fpsVR running, so I don't know the framerate or time, but I will have another go tomorrow and see. I set world scale to 105% but it still seemed a bit small in the Crystal Light. Only downer was the instrument texts were not the sharpest, though still legible. Using a 7800X3D and 4080.

[@JohnTheBodge]

In FS2020 I started off at 18fps when many were non-stop complaining about how terrible VR performance was. I was even totally shocked myself, but 18fps was not only smooth, but everything looked good too, flying GA at low altitudes. I did have to double my RAM from 32GB to 64GB - even though most of it was unused, it still made a difference to stop stuttering. Unfortunately, so many just look at that number 18 and write it off as unusable or me as talking rubbish - despite the videos I uploaded showing how well it worked. You have to try thinking outside the box - sometimes the results can be surprising.

[@lurchilurch5507]

Sorry but you've disqualified yourself from ever being taken seriously on any fps-related topic again if you truly think 18fps is smooth 😅 even 30 is unplayable at 90hz

[@JohnTheBodge]

@@lurchilurch5507 That's exactly what I'm talking about. How the hell can 18 fps be okay? Was, though - I'll have to see if I still have the videos I recorded and reupload them.

[@logankesler3421]

Can you humor me and try something. When you look out your window or go into 3rd person and look down at the ground when flying does the ground seem to stutter, jump quickly rather than smoothly go past you? Trying to figure out if that's just the nature of the sim or if I still haven't found the source of the issue. I've tried fresh install of windows, msfs, turning settings all the way down, locking my framerate, dlss, pretty much everything I you can find on stutters I've tried. Quest 3, 4090, 32gig DDR5, 7800x3d. Running at 2800x3000 per eye with ovr toolkit, FFR, Link cable with bitrate maxed out. No reprojection.

[@curtscarlett2475]

completely agree with you as I experienced the same micro-stuttering at low altitudes (even at 45fps), and the only solution I found was to enable Motion Smoothing (reprojection) in my Aero and take the visual hit to fidelity elsewhere

I’m still hoping for 90fps 😂 I find these lower fps targets being more smooth and stable but your head motion causes blur or at least it does for me. So you are trading smoothness for blur unless you train yourself not to move your head quickly

I really appreciate the video, but unfortunately locking down the FPS to 45 in the OpenXR toolkit didn't change anything for me. What did get rid of my stutters and significantly improve my VR experience was to disable the Nvidia In-Game Overlay. Disabling the overlay made a huge difference I and I recommend anyone having issues with stutters to make sure it's off.

Thanks Steve! I recently purchased a Quest3 and have been using it with virtual desktop with pretty decent results. I still have stuttering when I’m low to the ground. Two questions: 1. Does this video apply to Quest users? 2. Is there a way to use a Quest without using virtual desktop? Thx!

[@simondowdles3479]

Via link cable and oculus debug tool to force some settings, but don’t bother wasting time, absolutely nothing comes close to comparing with Virtual Dekstop, I’ve tried link using a super expensive fiber optic link cable, and it simply doesn’t come close. Using VD you can set to 90hz and in MSFS dynamic settings for VR graphics you could set it to 45fps limit, that MAY work.

[@trent_dyrsmid]

@ Thx!

[@MrNeilRoberts]

Or just run 80 hz and SSW ON … If you can put up with the artefacts (which I certainly can) then life is good. And for sure, do not bother with Meta link … recently it’s somehow got worse than it was and it’s never been great.

[@darrenabrahams5499]

Hey Steve. Great video. With the Crystal at 120hz, how would you lock at 30fps? Locking to half frame rate in pimax play would lock to 60fps. The only other way I can think is through openxr toolkit. But what would be your recommendation on how to do it for 30fps? Thanks

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Hey Darren. I've mentioned this to the Pimax team as we really need this option, since Varjo has it. But like you say, otherwise, you'd probably need to use the fps throttling feature in the toolkit. Thanks for watching and for your support.

[@StekuVideo]

😮VR in MFS2024 is so poorly optimized that on Crystal native resolution I would need to go to some crazy low settings to have stable 45 FPS with 7800x3d and 4090. After turning down all the heavy hitters I'm between 30=40 FPS, while I was 45-55 with MFS2020.

[@alinag7225]

I am rendering min 40 fps stable with 4080 super and an ancient CPU (Ryzen 7 3700X) at a lot higher resolution then crystal light native. To be exact im rendering at 3300x3600 p.e. overscaling the native resolution of my good old index by more than 200%. Here is the trick: Use DLSS 3 in performance preset! not quality use performance!. Use DLSSTweak to give the performance preset the DLSS profile "F" so it has same quality as DLAA. Then crank up your final resolution beyond native resolution of HMD. By cranking up final resolution you counter quality loss of downscaling from DLSS and using the AI algorithm of DLSS to much greater degree than using quality preset. Youre giving an image of higher resolution than its native resolution to the HMD. In its image buffer it is downscaled to native but you gain clarity. You get about same performance, but a lot better quality.

[@laartwork]

I airways drop Crystal native res to 70% as I personally don't see a difference. Looks great age gets 50-60 fps

[@StekuVideo]

​​​@@alinag7225Crystal native resolution is 4312x5102 per eye (44 millions of pixels), it's higher than the panel resolution due to the need for lens distortion correction. No doubt you can achieve better FPS with the relatively low resolution (24 millions of pixels, a bit more than half of what Crystal requires) you are using.

Steve, how are you able to access the OpenXR Toolkit Companion app?? Could not get mine to open up in VR anymore, and the github site says it stopped being supported a year ago. Also, would love a MSFS 2024 settings guide for all us Reverb G2 users with 3080/3090 cards. This new sim looks awful right now compared to how I had mine tweaked for 2020. Colors all washed out, return of the microstutters, land reflections on water acting all goofy again. Also, where do I activate that simple FPS readout you've got going there?

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

It just works out of the box for me. Maybe make sure the sim is selected in the companion app (msfs 2020). My latest VR settings guide also in part, related to the HP Reverb G2, however I'm sure you appreciate I don't have an unlimited supply of systems and GPUs, so it's based on a 4070/80 and 90 series. Thx for watching.

@@VRFlightSimGuy So you no longer have the 3090 card and Reverb G2 that you used before you upgraded to the 4090?

[@michaeltaylor1197]

Steve, are you using TAA or DLSS to get 45 FPS. I have a high end pc with RTX4090 and cannot achieve anywhere near 45fps.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

TAA I say so in the video

[@alinag7225]

I knew that many years and was throttling fps to half refresh rate in msfs2020 already. I can explain why its working. Smoothness is not about fps at all. You can have 20 fps and smooth experience and you can have 90 fps and experience terrible stutters. Because smoothness is about frame timings. Now if you don't throttle your GPU and allow it to unleash its whole power, it will render as fast as possible and will push out the frames out of the rendering pipeline as soon as they are ready. But then you will have random frame timings all over the place, and this is what causes stutters. Because between frame 1 and frame 2 are maybe 10ms and between 2 and 4 16ms then maybe 6ms etc... Because unthrottled you get random frame timings it results in stuttering experience, your brain notices that something is fishy. To achieve smoothness it is required that timings between frames stay stable and are mostly equal. This can be realized by throttling the GPU so that it does not push out frames as fast as possible, but instead use some of the overhead power to sort them properly and equally in the rendering pipeline. You pay some framerate for smooth frame timings. Now your brain is happy. You achieve best results by using fractions of refresh rate of the display. Like 1/2, 1/3 or 1/1. So if you run your Headset at 90Hz you should throttle at 90, 45 or 30. But, you also should adopt graphics setting in a way that you are actually achieving those 45 at all times. When you have that, you can also enable reprojection, and you would not see any artifacts. The reason why people hate it, is because they use too high graphics settings unable to achieve equal frame timings. Under this conditions reprojection produces artifacts.

[@gizmo104drives7]

[@Dajo8222]

Can you give some settings for pico 4 and virtual desktop? I'm having low fps I have a 9800x3d 7900 xt

[@vrambassador]

every one having low fps. and a reprojection of 30fps to 120hz or 45fps to 90hz is also a nogo. Ghosting is as worse as stuttering for me. Sim looks garbage anyway, even with 5 FPS on Ultra in VR.

[@JTCulverhouse]

Just so I understand this, is the Varjo Base available for use on the Quest 3, or is this for a specific headset?

[@JTCulverhouse]

Sounds like a specific headset. I'll give Nvidia Control Panel a go to limit the frame rate on the Quest 3.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Just for Varjo headsets,

[@gaurlglmistrz]

Did you compare results with setting the frame limit in nvidia panel? When I set the vsync in v arjo aero I got much worse results than in nvidia. Stuttering etc. Is it cause I didn't hit stable 45 on its own?

I also had a look at the VR graphic settings in MSFS2020, and I can't cap there either. Any time ?

[@victorchan4223]

You can try to enable ASW in the Oculus Debug tool and set it to 45 fps. This will half your frame rates from whatever your refresh rate. ASW is similar to reprojection or motion smoothing but better implemented. Less noticeable other than you will see trails of shadows from moving planes or cars.

Something is not right there. Unless you are flying the A380x from New York! Intel CPUs are not the best for the sim, run hot, and use a lot of energy, but with 14900K should still be fine though as is a top CPU. Make sure your XMP memory profile is enabled on your bios otherwise you lose performance.( you may know that already but I still encounter so many people that does not do this simple step) I assume you have 32 GB or more of ram.

Using ASW in the Q3 is very smooth.. I’ve never managed to figure out why it results in a stuttering image when capping fps on my system.

Double image 2x45hz is 90

[@vracan]

does same on my pc. But Steve suggest try turninn on/off gpu hardware accelerated scheduling in windows

[@Grale16v]

HAGS on or off doesn’t make any difference. I’ve tried so many combinations over the past years with this method without any luck

[@vracan]

Wish i knew why it works fine for Steve and not for us. cpu? gpu? I know My gpu and cpu is not up to par with Steve's

[@MrNeilRoberts]

Unless you are doing reprojection then it’s never gonna be perfect smooth. Especially close to or on the ground.

[@sharktails6468]

i cant even get past 10 fps on a 3070 32gb ram r9 3900 quest 2 all grapics set to low

[@mplmpl7780]

Whats wrong with 72hz at 36FPS ?

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Nothing? Surely I don't need to mention every single refresh rate option, since it's the methodology explained in this video that's important.

[@mplmpl7780]

@VRFlightSimGuy just thought it maybe an option for guys who cannot get 45 frames.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

​@@mplmpl7780 If your VR headset is compatible, sure! Although the lower the refresh rate, the increased chance of motion sickness.

[@StekuVideo]

For me 72Hz on Crystal produces visible strobbing, especially in the bright areas like clouds.

[@mplmpl7780]

@@StekuVideo yes I have seen this at 60hz on other hmd, but 72hz on the crystal og looks ok to me.

[@CR4ZYHOR5E]

MSFS2024 runs like garbage - such a shame. My new system/set is high end and even when the FPS counter says 40-50FPS doing circuits at London City there are microstutters every 30 secs or so. Have tried most things, am at a bit of a loss

[@vrspacedump]

Im sorry but what is this about? lower your settings =better performance? who ever would have tought of that? I understand you want to plug your sponsors but common atlest try to look like you care. Im prepeparing fot fan hate wave..

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Oh looks like we have a troll. That's not what this video is about at all if you cared to watch, it's related to ensuring you are at the correct fps that divides neatly into your headsets refresh rate. Also, in regards to sponsors, there's no need to be jealous of the channels success now. When you work as hard as I do, there is nothing wrong with choosing respectable and well established companies that are related to flight simulation, to help support the channel. FS Academy have sponsored my content for years. I don't see anyone else complaining do you? Have a wonderful evening now..

[@vrspacedump]

a@@VRFlightSimGuy So this is my secont atempt to respond.. I have no reason to be jelous as im not uploading vids to youtube. Also not trying to be a troll. I have no hate towards you or your chanel.. infact i think it is usually pretty informative and helpful.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

@@vrspacedump Your response was pretty rude don't you think? If you have seen the sheer amount of content I've been putting out recently, I think you will see I actually DO care, probably too much about the community at times and not enough about my own free time. Sadly, you elected to quote me saying one thing; 'turn down your settings' and insinuated this is the only message of this video, without any context whatsoever about the core principles of discussing refresh rates, frame timing and why it's not always better to have a higher, 'unleashed' FPS value. I'm still waiting for this, I quote, ''fot fan hate wave'' btw. I don't see it, do you? Just lots of nice comments of support, from the many people I have helped with these tips.

[@SPxUMADBROYOLO]

i just use virtual desktop and open track for headtracking and play at 100+fps doesn't stutter.

[@vrambassador]

Thanks for the try. Today i spent my time into this absolute shit simulator. 2020 runs much better. But anyway both of them are absolute garbage in VR. It looks just like shit. I burried them both.

[@vrambassador]

And to be clear. I absolutely love VR. But FS2020 and FS2024 are not made for VR. Even my Graphicscard is not fully utilized. The fact that 2024 using the same catastrophical engine like 2020 says to me, it can never be sweet like per example Aerofly FS4. I give a shit on worldscale. I want to fly smooth. impossible with this sim with any hardware.
