What do you think: will the day come that an optimized Nvidia driver and FS2020 supplies the same quality to a Quest 2 as it runs in 2D with ultra settings?
Absoltly not. For handle a quality in VR pair of as 2D monitor need a NASA computer with fantascientific graphic card and a VR set of 5000$.
For the moment we can only aim to have a serious optimization of MSFS for fly smooth .
VR now is an experimental world, expecially in FS.
The day absolutely will come. I know that there’s some debate as to how close we are too it now on this forum. Some people argue we’re closer than others think. The next generation of headsets coupled with the next generation of GPU’s coupled with better optimisation and development from Asobo should get us pretty close I would say.
Where did you see a “little teaser”?
The answer is pretty simple. Take the resolution of your VR goggles x 2 and add around 15% overhead. That is the number of pixels the system has to handle.
Just take a 2d system with that resolution and you get the FPS in VR you can expect. Increase settings and FPS will go down, decrease and FPS will go up. The ONLY thing that counts is the number of pixels (plus 15%) you are handling.
At this moment there are no graphics cards that can max out the sim settings on the available VR headsets. What we all want is 2x4k. But that means around 10K load on the system, which is simply beyond what is possible.
I feel that is not very important, however. You can get a very good VR experience at 2K and at lower settings. You simply never should compare VR and 2D experiences on specs, only on how you experience them.
Personally? I got the best VR sets here, I got the hardware to run it as good as possible. And I love it in Elite Dangerous. Not in the sim because a head tracker simple works a lot better for what you see in the cockpit and VR is meaningless for anything further away than 50 meters. A flightsim has two sight distances, under a meter and over 100 meters, nothing in between (anything in between is very likely to kill you unless you have your hands on the parking brakes).
