@FlyingsCool5650, so far I’m loving the G2s, but I’m such a VR noob that frankly I don’t know what’s good and what isn’t! I originally got my 2070S to try to get a few more years out of a 4790 non-K, but it rapidly became clear that wasn’t a marriage made in heaven, so I broke down and not only went for the 10600K, but except for the PSU (which wasn’t original) and a couple of SSDs (which also weren’t original), I basically scrapped the entire old 'puter in favor of my new beast.
When I first got Lasik they told me I’d probably need readers sooner than I otherwise would have, but now at 51 I probably would have needed them anyway so everything has come full circle. And it’s funny because this whole experience has made me realize it’s been some 15 years since I had the Lasik done, and I haven’t seen an eye doctor once during that stretch. It’s entirely possible my vision has slowly degraded and that a new script would do me good, in and out of VR. But my disability makes it soooo very hard to even get out of bed, much less leave the house, so we’ll see if I actually do anything about it.
And yes, my 2070S won the silicon lottery, it holds a +175/+1000 OC like a champ, but try to take it even one tick higher and bad things start happening. I’ve even started running the render scaling at 100, which is pert near native for the G2s, and it’s not exactly giving me 90 (much less 144) fps, but whatever it is giving me is fine. The only time I can even see it is looking out the side on my takeoff roll, which you shouldn’t be doing in the first place. I’ve also been slowly raising other settings, even got the volumetric clouds to High, and it’s still good.
A few more software tweaks, either from Nvidia, MS (from a windows/WMR/OXR perspective), and/or Asobo from an MSFS perspective, and I may have a real winner on my hands. I also would like to try running it through Steam, but believe it or not, I don’t eve know HOW to do that! My understanding is they have a VR utility that would allow me to bring things like Navigraph inside my VR session, which would be the bees knees.
But as with just about everything else VR related, I simply don’t know what I’m doing. You can see my entire settings lineup here. Plus, I’ve started slowly raising the FS settings since that post, and it still seems fine.
I may be back on GA stuff for the time being, that Carenado PA44 really sunk it’s teeth into me. And now I really want to start working the Baron out some as well, but WT’s CJ4 is also calling me… Too little time, too many planes lol.
Speaking of which, I think I’m gonna go work the Baron out on a medium range flight, maybe Key West to Jacksonville? Dunno, I’ll figure something out.
Chat laters!
BTW, you ever give any thought to doing KPIE as your next airport project?
