My VR graphics settings keep changing as if it is synching with desktop settings.
I haven’t seen any topics about this issue so is it only me or I am not alone in this?
UserCfg.opt gets overriten and almost every setting turns to ultra and resolution changes to full screen 3840x1080 (I use an ultrawide monitor). My computer is capable of running in ultra settings but on desktop. VR ultra is overkill. So I have to change it every time I start the game.
I also experience a “reset” of the VR graphic settings, but only sometimes. I use to go to the settings before flying to be sure they are not reset.
I deleted the UserCfg.opt file and let the game recreate it. Previously while testing the problem I noticed that file was getting corrupted on game start. I don’t know what triggers the corruption but it was fine today. I will update the topic if it happens again and I can find a root cause.
June 7, 2025 same ol’ bs. Spent hours tweaking my VR settings only to have terrain level at 400 and everything on ULTRA after loading the game. Anybody ever figure this out?
I’ve experienced this with both msfs2020/2024. For me, this was caused by the new nvidia app, even though I disabled the option to optimize settings. The fix for me was to uninstall the nvidia app, then use DDU in safe mode to uninstall the nvidia driver, then reinstall Nvidia driver (currently using 576.28), then use nvidia control panel to set global and per game 3d settings, then use nvidia profile inspector (latest version from github) global settings and enabled all dlss overrides and presets to latest. Since doing this I’ve never had any issues.
just get the settings the way you want them and exit MSFS. Then go to:
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and copy UserCfg.opt to a saved name. I use a simple BAT file and a Desktop shortcut to restore or switch between two configs.
//Setup for VR flight
del “UserCfg.opt”
copy UserCfg_VR.opt UserCfg.opt
EXIT
