I have a similar issue with my g2 / 3080. Things will be smooth, then if i exit VR and renter its a mess, sometimes take 3 or 4 tries to clear up. I mentioned and ask this before if others had the same issue, noone i think replied, i assume this is par for the course at the moment.
Thank you so much for this amazing post. This saved me hours.
Is that a setting for smaller planes or for airliners ? think, it makes a big difference
thx
try airliners âŠ
smaller planes. I think youâre right that it makes a big difference
The more I test it , the less convinced I am if buying G2 was a good decision guysâŠ
It looks like ppl with Quest 2 can now get better results at 100% res and high/ultra settings with PC specs lower than mine.
Iâve bought myself a high res. headset but thereâs no chance to enjoy itâs full potential at the moment.
The only advice I see is that I have to lower my settings but then I just donât like what I see outside:) Simple as that.
I will probably buy Quest 2 to prove whether or not I am rightâŠ
I suddenly had poor audio quality and then connection issues, turned out the connector at the headset had pulled out slightly so reseated it and taped the cable to the frame so any pull doesnât act on the connector directly.
I have a G2, an Index and a Quest2. I think G2 is the best headset for this game.
Yes, you can play at Ultra on Quest2, but with a big sacrifice: an FOV crop (which is an Oculus software feature). I tried it and quickly decided that looking through a square window is not my thing.
With both headsets, you will end up with roughly the same clarity if you want absolute smoothness â even with the best hardware, neither headset can support full res, full FOV motion reprojection. However, with G2, you have the option to run non-reprojected 30fps at âUltraâ resolution. To me, that is a much more meaningful âUltraâ than most of the Ultra graphics settings.
When it comes to motion smoothing, Oculus ASW does not have the artifacts behind propellers, but it has a lot of them around the wings, which I found more annoying. (I think I finally understood what was the âwobblingâ @CptLucky8 was talking about.)
At the end of the day, MSFS is pushing hardware boundaries even for non-VR. So there are going to be tradeoffs. Itâs almost like a resource-management game itself; you have to spend some time to find the best mix of settings for your own taste.
Very well said, Thank you
i found massive improvements when switching from a rift s to reverb g2.
more clarity and more fps.
i guess msfs has been optimized to be used with wmr rather than occulus.
would struggle to get 25 fps with the rift s (render scaling in game 80 and SS 1.6-1.8).
now i run the reverb with 70% render scaling in open xr and 100% TAA in game and the cockpit is sharper and FPS are around 30-40.
using A320
When we get to that point, we wonât need to have these long confusing discussions any more. Well, so long as with Ultra everything, weâre also getting good framerates.
Just a small diversion from VR:
Hi, very impressed by your work. So finaly if reprojection is 30 FPS, you set the G2 to 60 Hz in windows ?
No. OpenXR v105 (preview) is now unlocking the WMR driver to re-project up to 3 frames (was 2 before).
@dburne458, so to decode you, you mean in sim Render Scaling of 100 with TAA anti-aliasing, and OXR set on custom render scale of 70 with motion reprojection set on âAlways onâ? Did I get that right?
ThxâŠ
@CptLucky8, wouldnât you want your TAA settings to be whatever is closest to native regardless of what the SS setting is?
Not necessarily.
I usually first want my render resolution to be the closest to what my hardware can deliver per view (about 2K x 2K or 1.5K x 1.5K w/reproj). Then, I balance SS depending on whether Iâd prefer more EFIS or more outside view legibility.
Please note when publishing my article Iâve been exploring nearly all combinations as well and the 3 above are the ratios I find giving the most in their respective goals and the constraints of the hardware Iâm running on. Using TAA100 + SS(any suitable for the hardware) will not always give a better perf/pixel/quality result than TAA(x) + SS(y).
For example on the Index, it seems counter intuitive but for same perf, I find TAA100+SS78 good for EFIS but TAA60+SS220 nearly as good for EFIS but much better for outside. Yesterday Iâve tried pushing the Index even further on the same hardware, thanks to the new SteamVR 1.16.1 beta, and I must say running the Index at SS250 or SS300 (thus using TAA around 60/70 max) was giving me so nice a visual it was seriously competing with the G2 (even more so when you factor in the quality of the Index and the larger FOV). I know it sounds weird but despite the lower panel resolution, when pushing the Index at this level it was not much different in the end that my G2 in practice, because I canât run the G2 at 100+100 (which is 3K x 3K).
thankâs, just test now, and i confirm that you say is true.
I hope so!
You almost make me want to buy the index again, I sold mine a year ago for a pretty penny. I do remember that the god rays in high contrast situation were very disturbing for me in the cockpit. Do you have the same issues or is it something that was solved with the past year updates?
