SU5 graphics quality

I think the point is that this is one small example of a decrease in fidelity that may seem like a minor thing, but in VR the result is that the overall image is more fuzzy and lacking in definition compared to before. And it isn’t just the view out of the cockpit that was impacted, the instruments themselves are blurrier and less readable.

I don’t remember which VR headset you’re using, but yesterday I’ve found something which might be related:

I wanted to check whether I could get better results with SteamVR, just in case. To cut a story short: no I didn’t. However I noticed something interesting. When comparing WMR/OXR 75% vs SteamVR at 76% (can’t dial 75 in the GUI), the latter was significantly sharper!

I didn’t try comparing other resolutions but it was noticeable enough to me and I really don’t think it was placebo at all. There is a video setting in SteamVR which is called “Advanced Supersample Filtering” which to me is most likely something about using a bicubic like filter instead of a bilinear, and this might be the reason. Unfortunately I didn’t spend time trying this on/off.

Anyhow since I didn’t get better fps with motion smoothing, I reverted back to WMR/OXR and I tried to further adjust the settings for the TBM at New Orleans…
