Quite jealous of you having such a good time! I run 1080ti +9900k and I just can't bear everything out of the cockpit being blurry which it seems to unless I have 100% render scales but then of course won't run properly. 70 and 70 renders just looks so blurry. Xplane on the g2 looks amazing!!

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Hey Dave I now run my render scale at 100 with the open XR scaler backed off to 70, unless I'm flying VFR in which case I back it off bro get smooth motion. It's all a case of finding that sweet spot. Best of luck.

Sounds like you'll need to play around with the graphics settings some more to get to a decent level of performance.

[@Zeeflyboy]

I'm looking forward to when they update the alps at some point, they are a little lacking in areas at the moment (relative to some other world areas that is, still good compared to most others!) Perhaps central Europe might come after the UK world update. Love the dynamic feel of flying in this game though - when you commented on feeling the lift an drops I knew exactly what you mean. I think it really comes alive with a bit of wind to show off the dynamism of the flight model and environmental modelling. Will be really interesting when they add gliders.

[@MrJericho07]

I cannot praise the VR implementation enough the guys at Asobo did a great job and didn't ask for more money for it. I am running a Vive pro at 30 to 45 FPS 2080Ti i9 9900k 32GB 3600 RAM I thought that it would struggle in multiplayer with live weather etc but no, superb. I did spend 24 hrs fiddling with the perfect settings though TBH a lot of the settings are set lower than I would want but in VR it doesn't seem to make a major difference in visuals like they would in flat screen.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Thank you for sharing such positivity I couldn't agree more. As you say, lower settings in VR aren't as bad as 'pancake" mode.

[@dtrjones]

Yes this sim is spectacular in VR, absolutely love it. Can't get OpenXR motion smoothing to play ball - it makes things more choppy, so it's disabled but I have a G2 and 2080Ti i9 9900k @ 4.3Ghz 64GB and it's pretty smooth. The trick for me was 60% in both OpenXR and MSFS render scaling which still gives a suprisingly good clarity in the G2. Just flown around London and noticed new christmas decorations around parliment square and oxford circus! Amazing!!!!

Can’t believe I just watched the whole video when I have a G2 and i7 10700K and a 2070 super in the other room. I guess I just get overwhelmed with the effort to get the settings right fo FS2020 VR as there is a lot of different info out there, and most assume precious VR experience. But this video has made me determined.

[@nguyenquyhy]

I have that same specs. It was very laggy and blurry until I realize the problem was VRAM, so I turn down texture quality and now I can get very smooth frame rate. I can also turn rendering resolution back to 100% to fix the blurry screen.

[@bearclawws]

That is an impressive video. I have never used a VR but still timid to spend the money and possibly be disappointed because graphics/computer systems may not quite be on par with my expectations yet.

Steve, too bad I couldn't get my new G2 to work. Tried everything HP support told me to try. I even purchased a powered high speed usb hub, still did not connect to wmr portal. Got the dreaded connect to usb 3.0 error. Waiting for another hub to try, and then sending it back if it doesn't work. Interesting, I got audio in the headset still, even though it would not connect. The light on the cable is on. There is a three month wait for parts, and that is a no go. Lets hope the new hub corrects the problem.

[@imaginariumkey]

Thanks for replying a few days ago about MFS2020 working much better on the xbox PC store, it would be really interesting to see a frame rate comparison between the two version, I haven't been able to find anything, how much of a difference do you think it is frame rate wise and smoothness? What makes me hesitate about the xbox store version is the steam version might end up getting better frame interpolation, and it would work with the quest 2 also. The quest 2 isn't recognised as a windows MR headset so I can't get it working on the xbox store version., is there a way to get the oculus headsets working with the xbox store version of the game do you know?

[@nguyenquyhy]

They are both the exact same game. VR is implemented with OpenXR, so it is also compatible with WinMR, SteamVR or Oculus. You can buy the game on Microsoft Store and play VR with SteamVR. Again the game from Steam and from Store are the same game.

[@K11...]

MSFS 2020 is amazing in VR no doubt. However the sense of presence in aerofly fs2 with the G2 is on a totally different level due to the framerate and resolution it allows (and handtracking). In fact I think alot of people new to vr would be shocked with Aerofly fs2 due to how realistic and uncompromising it "feels" if they first tried MSFS. I am running a 1080ti and reverb G2.

I have quest 2, is there a way to make the sim look more colorful or is it normal for it to look kind of washed out and blurry in the distance?

It shouldn't look blurry at all. Make sure your IPD is set, colours are a different story however. There is no way of changing them unless it's supported by the sim itself. Reverb G2 has amazing colours

As good as it all is, it's a bit of a shame that Asobo couldn't see fit to portray such a significant site in higher level of detail, in terms of ortho and photogrametry. Still pretty cool.

[@ralongfortheride3453]

I was really surprised at the lack of geographic detail, and disappointed. For example at 1:50 minutes in, the hillside below the plane, just after taking off from Lukla, computer generated trees on the hillside. IS THAT WHAT YOU REALLY SEE, or is this an artifact of the VIEW chosen? There are photographic data sets available, eg ones that google is using on google maps and google earth. So is real data available not used?IF SO, this seems like a huge loss, with a world wide impact to users of the sim who are thinking they will be seeing real, photo-based levels of detail in the sim. Can someone comment on the photo bases used, and if these current viewing bases are draping computer generated detail onto landscapes, instead of real photo-based detail? If so, will there be upgrads to photo-based detail anytime at all? Most would like to see the world, as it is, this is a huge draw. Knowing you are seeing computer graphics instead of the real thing is a real downer. That, plus the learning curve to get the sim to work and the fact that newbies will really struggle getting this going, as describe here, are giving me pause to act. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYfXqmedfbmaeKs Alternatives to msfs2020 are suggested, given a number of issues. I was hoping to revamp my whole computer system to get into flight sims, based on the belief i would be seeing the world as it really is. Can someone please clarify what portion of the experience is real earth photo real vs computer generated? Thank you.

I had the same with my Rift S and there's two ways to fix it. 1 Update the Oculus software to the beta version, in the Oculus desktop go to Settings, Beta and enable Public Test Channel and let it update. 2 Use the Oculus Debug Tool which should be in "C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics\OculusDebugTool.exe" and set Use FOV Stencil to Off. With the Debug Tool you have to leave it running in the background while your flying and it will reset when you close it, so you have to reset it every time you run it.
