Returning to Flight Simulation: VR in 2024

Lol, is that a good thing? Do you mean your happy with that?

All these tweaks seem hard work at the beginning, but trust me, you’ll soon get the knack of it, and it becomes easy. Also, once dialed in, you can pretty much set and forget.

its starting now to improve and my FPS is better thanks

TAA improves the FMS and is readable but the outside graphics and FPS drop to 25ish

when in DLSS - the FMS is blurred

FMS, sorry, i was half asleep. Thats great news.

Oh, i forgot, go into XR toolkit, and set the FIxed fovated rendering to Quality/and/wide. That should boost you up!

Its tricky to set things up when your not there. with your system, you should be able to achieve decent graphics and performance, so it simply a matter of tweaking.

Got you! I’ve seen improvements now and will work away at it

Enjoyed it! Happy to help, feels good. Q3 is awesome.

Here anytime Major. All the best mate.

so my frame rate is good with no complaints. I see a much better level of detail. However that is in DLSS quality. That means the FMS and cockpit becomes blurred. While outside it is where I believe it should be

Fixed foveated rendering to Quality/and/wide was implemented and that didn’t change anything - TAA makes the FMS much clearer.

whats the trade off do you think?

You have had some great advice there. I think you should try DLSS Swapper now and use the latest version. It improves the way it renders the aliasing for me a lot.

Also, I know everyone has different advice so you don’t need to listen to me, and we have a different setup now BUT I found using DLSS Balanced setting but then BOOSTING the resolution (= Supersampling, so in the Oculus Tray Tools it’s the 1.2 thing) up higher actually solves 2 things:

  1. Less ‘stress’ on the MSFS side so it does not hitch.
  2. Clearer pixels for glass displays and small fonts on the panel in cockpit.

That combo is what I have found works for me on my 7950X3D and 4080. Smoother and better visuals than using DLSS Quality at a lower resolution to keep within limits.

Wouldn’t the combination of TAA+ASW solve the blurriness he’s having with DLSS?

good shout - so i went from a good cockpit and stutters to the opposite now.
I have ASW enabled with DLSS - is that right do you think.

so i have that set at 1.3 and it set to balanced DLSS, but still have an unreadable cockpit

DLSS is a much improved performance for me so far, but blurred is killing it

I simply cant win (yet)

You need DLSS Swapper too I think.

Yes it would be sharper if the system can handle it. I never got it to work as reliably. It would make my plane eventually suffer from HIT.

DLSS really is a lot less pressure on the whole system, but of course it’s another trade-off :smiley:

on DLSS swapper what am i swapping for what?

I am not on my PC to take actual screenshots for you, but basically after installing and running the app, you will have a screen which shows games you have installed.

Step 1: go to the Library tab (this screen, 3rd icon down on left) and click the DOWNLOAD arrow button on the most top left version (latest, highest number. It’s 3.5.01 or something now from memory):

Step 2: go back to your Games List page (top icon on the left of the window) and click MSFS, then you get a little popup window where you can assign the version you downloaded to the game (the SWAP button):

Step 3: Verify that number underneath the MSFS graphic now has that number, close the app, load MSFS.

Done this and starting back in again

so DLSS FPS plummets to 12FPS - switching ASW off, reducing default super to 1.3 and going back to TAA is OK

switching now to Belfast EGAA with these settings and my FPS is 10fps LOL

EDIT - turn on ASW in Belfast and i get 36fps…

What the heck :confounded:

You can reset it back to default in the Swapper app if you want but that is really baffling.

I have to leave now for a few hours sorry. You should check what your GPU and VRAM Usage is (press Windows Key + G whilst in VR, then look under your head-unit to see that Performance Panel on your monitor). Do that whilst in a heavy scenario (big airport etc like you have been testing so far).

If it is below 85% VRAM or Usage, you could increase the 1.3 value higher. Try to get it into the 90’s% to get the max resolution you can.

Your getting some great advice now bud. Some really useful comments above. Thanks everyone.

FYI - Your seeing an indicated 36fps on your fps meter, but its not 36fps, its boosted to 72 fps. The 72fps wont show as 72 (when ASW is enabled). It will show as 36 in the toolkit fps meter, thats just how it works. TBH…without ASW on, your going to struggle regardless of settings. I ran a 7800x3d and 4090, and STILL ran ASW. No shame in it, most of us use it.

I have loads more tips n tricks for you to try, literally a bag full of tried and tested settings.

Instead of TAA, OR DLSS-Quality. Try DLSS - DLAA. On my rig, DLSS/DLAA is sharper then TAA. That may sharpen up in cockpit dials, and outside details.
