VR Real Performance in MSFS 2024

Are you running OpenXR? (has anybody got OpenXR working?)

I managed to get a steady 45fps in 2024. I’m a Crystal Light user, and consider my system to be mid-tier (i9-10900KF, Alienware R11 RTX3080, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM).

I was getting an immediate CTD when I tried to switch to VR. I finally figured out that if I disabled OpenXR via the OpenXR Toolkit, VR would finally load. Then I was getting 3-4fps - impossible…so I:
(1) used DLSS Swapper,
(2) changed Pimax Play quality to Low,
(3) made sure DLSS was set to Auto (I don’t know why “Performance or Balanced” dropped the fps again)
(4) I could set graphics quality to High - and it worked like a dream.

I recommend that you drop into the Pimax Ask Me Anything session this weekend in the official Pimax Discord group

By the way, I also cleared out temporary files… that helped.

Loading time still took ages.
