I have tried (what feels like) every possible MSFS VR Graphics setting in combination with Oculus Tray Tool settings, then tried using Oculus Debug Tool settings. With each I found settings which appeared to give the highest VR image quality with no stutter and no artifacts.
The feeling flying in VR is very good, but the image quality I have been able to achieve is not enjoyable for me. Turning Final in a tight pattern, the runway is blurry. When taxiing, I cannot read the taxiway/runway signs till I am right up to them.
I cannot figure out how to capture what I am actually seeing in the Quest 2 so I created these two 2D images that are very representative:
Â
Â
What I see when flying 2D on my 4K 24" Dell monitor
Â
Â
Approximation of what I am seeing when flying VR on my Quest 2
Â
Â
I was hoping to find some setting combination that would give be a single digit frame rate that would blow me away with detail and quality, and then back off things till I got a smooth 30 frames per second with no obvious stutter or smearing when I moved my head.
When I fly using the virtual “2D desktop display” the quality is very good, not like 4k but very crisp and detailed. When I switch to 3D mode, I just feel like I need the prescription in my glasses changed bad.
How can I know that I am seeing the best Quest 2 can deliver?

UPDATE: SOLUTION IS HERE AT END OF THE THREAD

My data flow (as best I understand it):
MSFS → RTX 4070 → [Oculus Debug Tool | Oculus Tray Tool] → Oculus PC App → Cable/QuestLink → Quest 2
