[BUG] - VR - Overexposed & washed out landscape colors

Yip I know , that is why I am not flying with my HP G2 VR in MSFS 2020 ,I did some settings but it did not help, I am only flying with X Plane 11 with my HP VR G2 , I wish I can get a refund for MSFS 2020 , X Plane 11 with HP VR G2 is a pleasure to fly the Zibo Boeing 737.

I think as of right now Asobo has no interest in VR
They cant even acknowledge with over 500 votes the tool bar needs a hotfix

I can confirm it is still way too washed out and not playable for me
 I use a Rift S

Same here , I am using the HP Reverb G2 VR , at the moment I just fly in X Plane 11 the Zibo boeing 737 with it with no problem, X Plane 11 is so much better with VR , its difficult for me to go back to 2D.

Overexposure on my Reverb G2 is killing me! The darks aren’t dark enough and the highlights are way overexposed. Hoping someone at Asobo sees this.

Same here, I am using a Rift S. I tried everything but the outside world is completely washed out, not usable durring daytime.

I had these overexposure and very bright colors as well and i “think” it got better after one change in the driver.

The color depth is default set to 10bpc under Display options, i just went into graphics->advanced and enabled 10bit pixel support for supported devices and restarted.
I have to do some more flying but so far i didn’t see this bright problem again!

Thanks for the tip, i am going to try this! I adjusted my brightness and contrast with the amazing OpenXR Toolkit but for night flights it’s becoming extremely dark so i don’t want to bother adjusting it everytime depending on day or night.

Hi , can you please explain more in detail where I can find that setting , because I do not find that setting , I am on windows11 with a Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti GPU , thanx.

It’s in the AMD Adrenalin Driver. I don’t know if NV has a similar setting.
As i am not sure if it makes things better i wrote i “think”.

Here is my latest recording from today.

I think this only works for the 2D desktop. My Reverb 1 is not recognized on this page (but is connected and works).

Try the Open XR toolkit if you haven’t already. Under the appearance section there are controls to adjust brightness, contrast and saturation.

Did they remove the “washed out / overexposed colors in VR” bug from the list of bugs in the developer update? Last time I looked it was “under investigation” but I can’t find it there any more :open_mouth:

Not only is everything overexposed, but they thought it’d be wise to worsen the problem when the majority of your view is one the instruments.
While this would be true for photographs, it is NOT what happens in real life. I just have no idea what they were thinking when they designed this and how on earth it passed testing.

No, they just stopped including any VR info in the dev updates. Seems like VR is no longer getting any dev time/attention

There is no VR anymore in their snapshots, looks like it’s being abandoned. Maybe they have too much to do with the flat screen version already.

Ill be so gutted is they have stopped VR development, I got a Reverb G2 soley for this sim

I read on this forum somewhere that VR users account for 10% of users. With 2 million of us that’s 200,000 users to suddenly drop support for. With the military and aviation training all shifting to VR I wouldn’t think MSFS would quit VR.

I think the reason for dropping VR tickets is down to their testing pipeline which may now include VR before marking an issue fixed and also, that most VR bugs (not features) are solved the same time that 2D ones are.

My two cents :grinning:
