Updated tutorial to get VR running smoothly using Quest 2!

Everything about VR in the sim so crazy unstable. I had it working wonderfully the other evening. I was getting 35 - 40FPS (RTX 3080 i7 7700) and the whole thing was really smooth and for the first time I was able to enjoy the F-15 at low level breaking the sound barrier. It really was incredible.

Next day I boot up VR in the sim and without changing anything I was back down to 15 - 20FPS and the whole thing was a juddery mess. Fiddling with settings in the tray tool things didn’t do any good whatsoever. There’s just such a bad combination at the moment of the Quest 2 being new, the RTX 3000 series cards being new and VR in the sim being new. You feel like you can go round and round in circles tearing your hair out desperately trying to make everything work but the fact of the matter is its all just so new and nothing is well optimised.

Its so frustrating because I get these little glimpses of how great it is, or at least how great it’ll be one day, when I can just put on my VR headset and enjoy VR in the sim without all the faffing.
