My 2070 SUPER VR settings and suggestions (Index - SteamVR) 🟢

@JWales2895
Thank you for your kind words!

This is preliminary but here was I’m using right now with the Index:

System:

Win10 HAGS OFF
NVidia 471.47 SD (Studio Driver)
SteamVR Beta 1.19.4

Settings:

FS2020 Settings (same in 2D and VR)
Setting Value
Render Scaling 100%
Anti-Aliasing TAA
Terrain LOD 200%
Terrain Vector Data OFF
Buildings High
Trees High
Grass And Bushes High
Objects LOD 200%
Volumetric Clouds High
Texture Resolution High
Anistrophic Filtering 16x
Texture Supersampling Off
Texture Synthesis HIGH
Water Waves HIGH
Shadow Maps 768
Terrain Shadows 512
Contact Shadows Off
Windshield Effects HIGH
Ambient Occlusion Off
Reflections HIGH
Light Shafts Off
Bloom ON
Depth of Field Off
Lens Correction Off
Lens Flare Off
Glass Cockpit Refresh Rate HIGH
SteamVR Settings
Setting Value
Refresh Rate 90Hz
Brightness 130
resolutionScale 152%
FOV 95%
Motion Smoothing ENABLED
Fixed Rate 18fps (15fps on ground with FBW 320 - higher with GA analogue)
Prediction 33ms

NB: 152% is a good tradeoff between legibility and computing power needed for motion smoothing on the 2070S. Anything above with motion smoothing requires a very light aircraft or a more powerful video card.

Tips:

more...
  • When on final, you can quickly change the FOV to 50% to get a very legible runway in the distance and crisp cockpit lettering/EFIS.
  • I use no more than 95% FOV even with nearly shorter eye relief settings, I still can’t view beyond on the sides.
  • With the FBW 320 and complex airport, you might have to reduce to 15fps but onces airborne you can restore 18fps.
  • If the aircraft/airport is really too heavy, you can quickly disable motion smoothing and set a fixed rate of 30fps
  • If your hardware permits, you can try SteamVR 300% and this gives you the same legibility as SS152%+FOV50%.
  • The only SS settings worth the legibility differences to me are 126%, 152%, 220%, 300%
