i am reading a lot of comments lately which say that VD has improved a lot since the release of the Steam VR 1.16 Beta. i am quite satisfied with my Link-Cable Setup but i think i would give VD another try.
But i was wondering if OTT is working in Steam ? if not is there a way of changing the FOV to 0.8 ?
I cant try it out myself since i am not at my PC for the next few days…
Thanks
OTT is for Oculus link only. And there’s no way to alter FOV in VD but you don’t need to because the performance is better anyway. No need to adjust anything. High quality, a good streaming bitrate and 100% res in SteamVR.
Its important to recognise that when someone says the quality is better via virtual desktop and the SteamVR app they’re saying its better FOR THEM. It may not be better for everyone. There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods currently with the sim and VR performance. It all comes down to your hardware. Quality of experience in VR is very objective.
It may be true that the latest version of SteamVR is improved but I would need a lot of convincing before I go and try it. SteamVR gave me awful performance in the sim and the inability to not be able to run the tray tool and/or the debug tool meant that I couldn’t fine tune my headset going via the virtual desktop method.
Thank you guys for your answer.
As you already know OTT isn’t working with VD so far no way to changing FOV with VD.
Having used both Link and VD, I like Link as it is easier on my slow CPU and shows better colors.
I will still jump to VD if I need the freedom of being wireless because I don’t have ceiling link cable system connecting to my Quest 2.
I switched to VD and never went back to the LINK. So stable for me now, I rarely have any issue in flight.
I guess you make up for the tray tool by using the different settings in the VD app in the headset and the streamer program on the PC. Also in SteamVR there are some settings you can tweak.
So here a video I recorded through the headset flying around LAX and I think we all know LAX is brutal for causing stuttering due to the amount of traffic but the video shows you an idea of performance. Of course the video capture is grainier than the actual headset view quality which very clear. Instrument panels are clear as well.
Also SideQuest gives many similar options as well.
I have msfs working on my quest 2 over virtual desktop, now I’m looking to tweak the settings to see how I can improve quality and performance. I’m running a ryzen 5 3600 and 1080ti.
would you mind sharing the settings you changed in the VD app, steamVR, and MSFS?
I posted my settings here.
