Yes. Me too.
But if you stay still, it will stabilize in a few seconds, as if there’s some residual works that has to be done before becoming current with headset movement. Wait a few seconds, then continue.
Where can I find this Openxr mod? Can’t find anything about it.
Not sure if we’re talking about the same thing. After switching, MSFS stays in background UNTIL I click on it with the mouse. Then it becomes controllably active.
Just want to give a huge shoutout to Matthieu for his fantastic help and support. I was having a problem bringing up the Toolkit menu in MSFS and he was incredibly responsive and helpful.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MATTHIEU
Scroll up to message #1.
In my humble opinion, I’d recommend most to just start reading from post 1 (Not do anything yet) and spend a few hours and read everything first. The information in this thread is invaluable, let alone the utility.
This is just my opinion, coming from someone who is trying to re-gain as much knowledge on how things work in MSFS - making a come back from a few years from FSX.
Personally I leave the cfg file well alone, one less thing to constantly remember to edit after every update. Besides I couldn’t see much, if any difference when changing those settings in the past. This Toolkit does most things I need it too anyway.
Great post, thanks for all the details and experiences. My hardware is nearly identical to yours and for the predictive dampening I use -40%, not +40%. I think the design of that feature is such that to reduce the head movement effects you need to put in a negative value in the scaler. I had a lot of movement of the image in my G2 (largely due to the buttkicker I am running and it got worse with windows 11 for sure…the vibration of the BK was something the G2 sensors picked up and reacted to), and when I tried that new scaler feature in the toolkit with a -40% value it helped me. I run the main resolution scaler in the toolkit at 80% (100 in sim and 100in open Xr developer, no motion reprojection either). Rest of the graphics settings are close to pie in sky YouTube video as well as those of VR Flight Sim Guy (mostly medium, a few high and LODs at 100). I’m on an I9 12900k, rtx 3090 and 64gb ram. Getting very smooth visuals over big cities (40-45 fps over London and Chicago in mixed clouds or even at night). Oh, and I had to turn off HAGS as that was causing me studdering.
My mistake, i do in fact use -40%! It definitely improves the shaking, it is just the consequential effect I seem to be getting on smoothness. Interesting that you sound like you have no issues there. I also turned off HAGS but that was during my investigation so i should perhaps reinstate it to see if it affects anything now. Only other difference I have with you is that I use MR at the moment but again i probably now need to fully reinstate Pie in the Sky settings and see if they are all ok for me.
Are you really using a positive value?
To get the best results you should try -40 (somebody else suggested that).
We probably shouldn’t have allowed positive values, it a bit confusing. This was for the sake of other experiments but in general positive values should only increase shaking some more.
Edit: OK we replied at the same time. Understood.
I would really love more details @supmua. Like what GPU model, drivers, what version of the Varjo software, even better a capture of the output of the OpenXR Explorer window.
This could really help others who have been unable to use the program with their Aero.
Thanks!!
Oh Sorry! I thought you were talking about a specific Openxr mod for Skyrim VR 
I guess I got my G2 at the perfect time. Due to arrive on 2/3.
I will be running it with a 3080, 3700x, 32gb ram. By the looks of things in this thread, I shouldn’t have any problem achieving a smooth sim. Can’t wait!
I’ll try to provide more detail soon, but I’m more of a DCS person and with the release of Reshade 5 I’ll be spending most of my time with that. I haven’t touched MSFS since the update 7 but I did fly with your tool just the day before the update.
My setup 9900K/3090 32G RAM. Tool settings mostly default except NIS, 0.8 res and 20% sharpening.
@mbucchia Mat will you be posting version numbers as you update your app? I know there is a check for update link but it only takes me to your github site and just the download the latest version is show but no way of knowing if there ia s newer version available.
Just want to thank mbucchia (and any other developers) for this toolkit. I abandoned msfs for quite awhile now since VR was just unplayable for me (G2, 3070, R7 3700X, 16Gig ram). I tried it last night with NVIDIA/game settings as per the recent Pie In the Sky youtube video and WOW. I can actually fly my CJ4 again!!! I seem to have best results so far with the NIS (80%, 20% sharpening), but still playing with it. Its still hard to read the smaller buttons, but I am getting 35 to 40 fps now and no stuttering. Thank you again for this! I was very close to uninstalling and waiting for xplane 12.
@CptLucky8 worked on several improvements and one of them is to display the current version in the menu.
We’ll also keep posting updates to this thread.
At this point I expect a patch release next week or so to address some usability bugs and minor improvements.
Then end of the month we will do a more major release with actual new features (not sure yet what we will have ready by then).
I’m loving this tool so far. I have a strange bug however, whenever I use it pressing Ctrl F1 F2 F3 etc as well as working the toolkit menu also brightens and darkens the screen.
I keep having to exit back to the main menu as my screen has either gone almost completely black, or completely white according to whether I’m raising or lowering a value. Anybody else get this?
If I restart oculus service with OT/ODT/OTT and MSFS is still in VR mode, MSFS will freeze 100% of the time.
For changes in OpenXR to work, it seems enough for me to just toggle out and into MSFS VRmode again (Ctrl + Tab)
Yes, I’ve found the same or sometimes using ‘esc’ to exit the flight and then returning back to it has also worked on some occasions.
