No problem, glad it helped out 😁 thanks for the sub!

Thanks for the kind words 😁 really appreciate it! Happy this tip came in useful, AMS2 is arguably the most visually stunning VR racing sim out there and this can definitely help crisp up the image a little.

You're more than welcome mate, glad it came in useful! It's a nifty little tweak to get a little more clarity/sharpness out of the image at no performance hit whatsoever 👍 especially useful in VR when you've already cranked up super sampling like you said.

for me supersampling (in Automobilista menu incl restarting the game) does not shows any difference, SS on 1.0, 1.2, 1. 5, 2.0 looks all exactly the same. what I am doing wrong? I restarted after every change the game of course and the valies are still in the menus correctly.

@@mh7711 may help to play around with your gpu settings in nvidia or amd whichever applies. If they are not the best then this will affect the outcome.

@@xtreemkiller7769 OK I will check, I have some settings for ams2, that are mentioned from other users. and I use 100% resolution in steamVr. in ACC for example when increasing vr supersampling resolution the graphics become incredible sharp.

Why can't I change super sampling in the game settings? My voice is obscured. Also I don't even have 4xMSAA, just off, low, medium and high?! Why?

No worries mate, I'd be keen to see if you like it or not! It definitely makes things sharper but also can highlight jaggies around the edges on newer headsets so you might need to dial it down a bit 🤔

No worries 😎 glad I could be of some help!

Hope this comes in useful 👍

Awesome stuff 👍 good to know, thanks for testing it out.

No problem 😎 glad it was useful!

You're welcome mat, glad it came in useful! As for the stache, ah yes, that's my alter ego 'Bulk Brogan' who's making his way through an entire AMS2 Racing Life career at the moment. Needed a new identity for the playthrough and nothing better than a stick on moustache to disguise yourself right? 😅

Happy to hear it came in useful for you 😎

Also there are some things to be changed in oculus debug tool. Pixel per display on 1.1 or something. Definitely worth is setup FOV multiplier on. 0.8 and 0.8, than restart as administrator and than connect quest 2.. (for anyway who read this)

Awesome stuff, and thanks for the advice re Oculus debug tool too 👍 not everybody is aware of that but it's definitely worth knowing.

No worries, happy to help Perts 😉 hope it makes a nice difference for you

Those F3 cars are squirrelly at the best of times 😅 so add in some extra moisture and it's definitely going to need a few corrections here and there...

Awesome stuff! Make sure to try it out default first though and get a feel for it 👍

Hey Merv, thanks for the kind words mate! Pretty sure this will work with any method of running VR in AMS2, just need to find the correct text file which your game is referencing and make the changes outlined in the video 👍

​ @roberty21 what resolution do you set in OpenXr Toolkit? I am not able set higer than 2600px for constant 90 fps (sunny day) with my Rtx 3090.

I took that for granted when recording this video but good tip for those who may not know 👍 thanks mate

And don't forget top save

Thanks saved me lol

I have this too

Yeah I have this as well, I think it's just one of the drawbacks of the rendering engine unfortunately, possibly related to motion blur or depth of field where some of the car gets put out of focus but other parts don't 🤔 I'll have a play around and see if I can find the exact cause.

Just comes with computer racing.. its so annoying though :(

I'll have a look into that, thanks for the tip 👍

Thanks for that. I've been on the fence a bit about trying AMS2. I use a ReverbG2 with OpenXR (which in my experience is superior to SteamVR to the point that switching to OpenXR was almost like getting a new higher-res VR helmet). Knowing that it plays nicely with my VR setup pushes me a little more to try AMS2.

@@DDFRacer Have you tested open XR yet ? most ppl are leaving steam VR for open XR.

@@ozziecoops I haven't tested it but haven't really felt the need to 👍 I don't use Steam VR since all of the sim racing titles I use are supported natively through Oculus.

I presume this won’t work with open xr as it bypasses steam vr. I use G2 with 3080ti and it looks amazing in VR but game to try and improve it

But I mustache you a question: Do you like bad puns?

@@infn8loopmusic 👏🏻🤣

Bulk Brogan approves this message

Anyone I might know too? 😉

I don't see any reason why not 😎 although the Quest 3 has better clarity to begin with so the gains might not be as apparent compared to an older headset. My best advise would be to try a few different values and see what works best for you 👍

No worries, you're welcome mate 😎

To be honest, until my CV1 actually stops working I'll be sticking with it 👍 it's a great headset eh? Sure, I could get a better resolution with a Quest 2 or something but the CV1 is super comfortable and just works really well.

@@DDFRacer I upgraded my cv1 to the quest 2 and then the HP reverb g2 and ended up downgrading back to my cv1. I actually liked it so much that I purchased two of them from ebay. The build quality and weight are just great. The resolution upgrade was nice with the new headsets, but LCD is so inferior to OLED. You get much more blur when you're actually in motion with LCD. It removes the essence of being in VR imo. This directly correlates with PSVR's positive review success. The lower resolution of the cv1 also made it super easy to max games out and when you're in motion the resolution doesn't matter as much. I just wish it had more FOV and 120hz. My next upgrade will probably be the Bigscreen Beyond headset.

@@Amp1tude I upgraded from CV1 to Rift S to Quest 2 to Pico 4. Each of these upgrades gave a very noticable boost in visual clarity. Was any of these upgrades a complete game changer? Not really. Where any of these ugprades "necessary"? Not really. Did I regret any of the ugrades? Not really. But I imagine going straight from a CV1 to a Pico 4 would be like seeing the world with glasses for the first time for someone who has some serious blurred vision. Also since the Quest 2 and now Pico 4 I've been using Virtual Desktop for wireless VR. While for race sims the wire isn't really a big deal I still couldn't go back to wired VR now.

@@linko994 When you talk about visual clarity you are simply referring to the resolution. The CV1 does everything else better than those other headsets. OLED panel superiority. Black level superiority. Contrast superiority, response time superiority, build quality superiority. The supersampled images on the CV1 were pretty clear compared to the quest 2's native. They require about the same processing power. Reading text would be the biggest con of the CV1, but most vr games are designed for lower resolutions anyways. This will change one day. The other con being 90hz only. For Sim racing I would say resolution matters the most and doing the upgrade will be worth it, but for VR gaming in general I think the CV1 is the best bang for the buck still and does things much better than most headsets. Having wireless introduces inputlag, which I did measure. I'm sensitive to it. For Sim racing it isn't a big deal. The new Bigscreen VR headset is the only one I'd consider upgrading from my CV1 to. It's $1,000 though...

Sure am 😉 I've had it for over five years now and it's been solid as a rock, I'll keep on using it until it dies completely. I've never used or even tried another VR headset unfortunately, I've looked at getting an upgrade but, to be honest, for the money involved I can't seem to to justify the expense whilst the CV1 is still going strong. The newer Oculus headsets don't fill me with confidence (melted charging ports, quality drops over wireless, lower build quality etc) and switching to a non Oculus based headset would need me to completely re-do my streaming capture set up since my live chat/telemetry overlays all use the built in Oculus software and are optimised to capture from the Oculus mirror. I mean, it could be done, but why spend the money and time doing that when the current setup works more than fine?

Yep this should work for any VR headset 👍 although on the more modern ones it'll make less of a difference as the resolution of the display improves.

From my understanding, the offset bias affects the distance at which the sharpening takes effect. In this instance with my settings mentioned in the video, objects that are closer have slightly less sharpening applied since it's already pretty clear in your vision, however objects that take up less space on the screen because they're further away will receive more of the sharpening effect. Here's a more technical explanation from the forums: Offset (0.0->6.0, default 1.0) - the offset from the current pixel for the sampling pattern (so if it's 1 it will sample neighbouring pixels, any less and it will bias towards the central pixel, any more and it will start sampling pixels outside the normal kernel).

@@DDFRacer great! Thanks for all the info :) Yeah I’ve stuck with what I had before. It’s just way too sharp for me. Everyone is different I suppose. For me, going back to FXAA on low looks better.

@@richwatson1985 absolutely mate! Each to their own and whatever works best 😎 no right or wrong way as long as it looks good to you.

I've thought about getting an upgrade many times before but no matter how much research I do, nothing strikes me as being better than what I currently have. Nothing stands out like "yes, this is the one!" and makes me want to buy it. I hear nothing but negatives about newer Oculus headsets, whether it's the wireless quality drops (don't forget I'd also be using my network for streaming at the same time and even more prone to artefacts) or lower build quality such as the straps. Sure it'd be nice to have a higher resolution and sharper image, but the other aspects that come along with it just don't appeal to me. It's also not cheap to upgrade either 😅 so until my CV1 physically stops working and dies then I'll keep on using it.

@@DDFRacer Get a Bigscreen Beyond when it launches later this year. The size/weight/comfort + image quality is going to be out of this world. Will feel like at least 2 generations ahead of CV1. I'm waiting for that one. I went from CV1 to Samsung Odyssey Plus, and now waiting for Beyond as a true next generation leap.

I went from a CV1 to a Quest 2 and never looked back, the graphical difference is enormous :) Especially AMS2 looks absolutely stunning in VR 🤩

Unfortunately not mate, I launch AMS2 through Steam which has a pop up selection for which mode you'd like to use.

Good stuff, that sounds promising. I realise my CV1 is not going to last forever and out of all the options I've been researching, the Quest 3 is probably the one I'm going to pick 👍

@@DDFRacerI just got mine yesterday, the first expression was 😮🤩🤩🤩….. the way it looks is so much better, everything looks so clear and beautiful… If you change at some point definitely you should try it, it’s a not going back after you tried..!!! Thanks for the tip!!

Anything below 80 in every vr headset I've ever tried is just not a good experience at all. Worse than playing flat. You must have some special eyes to be able to play at those frame rates. I mean the latency alone would be detrimental.

@@zacharywilliams2904 The fact that you claim to have tested it in EVERY vr headset tells me that your opinion should be taken with a grain of salt. And if your experience indeed yields a poor result in the headset that you own at a fps of below 80 to be poor then it leads me to believe your gear isn't that efficient. With a vast combination of GPU and headsets in the market I suppose that experiences will vary per each individual set up. But your claim that anything below 80 fps to result in a poor experience leads me to believe you haven't got much experience in the subject. But your input is welcome nonetheless.

Thanks for testing out a few different settings on a few headsets I've never used, always good to get more feedback and hopefully it'll come in useful for anyone else who might watch this and scroll through the comments section 👍 That said, I might have to disagree with you on the fps point you raised. I've found that running lower than the native refresh rate of the headset is very noticeable and not in a nice way. It starts stuttering and chopping the image, especially when moving your head quickly to check the mirror or look out the side window for example. Most headsets offer an asynchronous warp setting which will drop to half frames (for example 80 down to 40) if the GPU is struggling and then interpolate the missing frames, but this introduces a lot of glitches around fast moving objects such as catch fencing in the peripheral vision. It's also worth noting that it's not physically possible to get better fps than the refresh rate of the headset, so if it can only do 80fps then it'll cap out and won't get any better than that. At this point you might as well max as many settings as you can otherwise you're not using the full potential of the GPU or VR. A lot of people suffer from motion sickness when lower frame rates or warping starts to kick in and, although you might be one of the few who either doesn't notice it or isn't bothered by it, I think I'd speak for the majority when I say that pushing the headset down as low as 28fps is a horrible experience. It's not really about bragging rights or who's man enough, I personally couldn't care less what kind of numbers my GPU is pumping out but if I start dropping frames in the VR then it's something I can notice immediately and it's absolutely jarring and gives me a headache. I've upgraded to a 3080 these days so don't have too many issues anymore, but a few years ago I was running the Nvidia 1080 and it would struggle on higher settings or bigger grids, I got caught out online a few times with settings that were too high and had to race with bad stuttering/low fps and really struggled to drive the car properly. Not having that fluid motion made it so much harder to judge what my car was doing and also judge the space to other cars and objects around me. I'd much rather sacrifice a bit of detail and clarity to maintain the higher framerates and fluid motion/image. Like I said though, that's just me 😎 everyone's mileage may vary.

@@DDFRacer I agree, since posting this I turned the refresh rate back to 120hz, as well as the resolution back to native. Not that my weak gpu can keep up but it seem better. Of course I'm speaking from the point of view of someone on the low end of the world of VR, given my weak GPUs. So my plan is to try and get the best possible experience out of the equipment I have at my disposal. Thankfully I'm not prone to motion sickness, else this would be a horrible experience. Although in some instances I have experienced some it, usually during crashes when your car is sent spinning. Perhaps this doesn't happen at 100+ fps but again, I can only relate to my own experience. Taking a hit on fps to the point it hovers at around 30fps in order to gain better clarity is advantageous over higher fps with poor image quality - then again this from someone that saw an improvement and doesn't suffer from motion sickness. Mileage will vary, so anyone reading this, please try to see what works for you. This is why I listed my two GPUs in my comment, so others with similar hardware can try and learn from some of these many tips out there in order to improve their experience. Didn't want to give the impression that I'm against those with 4090s, in case it came across as such. Heaven knows I'd love to get one of these, but kids and all the expenses they incur take priority over toys. Wouldn't I love to race every track at max graphic setting at 100 fps. Maybe once the kids grow up and move out. I'm still trying to see what works best. Clearly a Quest 3 is an improvement over the Q2, even with below average equipment like mine. That's why I was so pleased to come across your video, lots of great tips here.

Yeah I know that feeling well, I'm raising a little kiddo myself too and all non-essential expenses tend to get put on hold 😅 I'm lucky to have already upgraded my GPU a few years ago and would love to get a VR upgrade as well, such as the Quest 3, but that'll have to wait for a little while I think. The trusty old CV1 soldiers on 👍

Interesting 🤔 I'll have to look in to that. The way to check would be to make a backup of the file, delete it, then get Steam to verify files which would put a brand new one in its place with the latest default settings.

Nope, just running AMS2 through Oculus natively 👍

Can't help you with that one unfortunately 😅 I only managed a few hours in F122 thanks to multiple blue screens of death and terrible performance, ultimately uninstalling and getting a refund.

You're welcome 😎

Kind of. Supersampling sharpens the image by rendering it at a higher resolution and then resizing it back down again, using a fair chunk of your GPU in the process, whereas this method applies a sharpening filter directly to the original image at no extra performance cost.

Thank you 😁

Good to know, thanks 👍 always an opportunity to learn new things. Can definitely say I don't go overboard on this feature as it does cause a lot of artefacts the harder you push it, like you say, but on an older headset like my CV1 with a lower resolution it certainly helps make things like corner markers and kerbs a little clearer at greater distances.

is a quest 2 considered low ? I only ask because i'm thinking of doing this myself.

When using native 100% resolution in the Reverb G2 with 3140 pixels per eye and little bit filtering, then the additional sharpness/clarity is very very nice! Users with an rtx 4090 can go even higer, I think 120-130% resolution without problems

I've had a look at more modern headsets but nothing really grips my fancy or stands out, seems like most newer models take a step back in some areas compared to the CV1. Sure the resolution on the quest is better but I've not heard many positive things about the wireless compression/artefacts, latency, battery life, pupil distance adjustment etc. If the Quest 2 is perhaps a first VR headset then it might be fine, but I'm struggling to find any good reviews or experiences from people who've upgraded unfortunately 🤔

@@DDFRacer I can recommend pimax 5k super, i race open wheel fr 3.5 and need the higher refresh rate it can do, 120, 144, 165, tracking is flawless with htc base station and wide field of view handy for judging cars beside

@@DDFRacer I went from Rift S to Quest 2, so I'll pick up your points, in case it's of interest. Playing without the wire is really nice but you have to be the only user on the 5GHz band. Latency and compression artefacts aren't really an issue, given the significant increase in fidelity and you are sim racing so 80-100ms lag is not noticeable (to me at least). It really does look loads better. That said, it is definitely more faff than the direct-to-GPU wire, as you have to click into desktop link mode and from time to time the link breaks for whatever reason. It is a bit annoying and probably not acceptable for you, as you could be streaming when it happens. The extra pressure on your GPU is also significant. Pupil distance was not a problem for me, but not sure how lucky I had to be for that to be the case. Battery and comfort are both solved with the BoboVR M2 Plus, but that's another £100. Basically it's a bit of a hassle, but for me worth it. The Rift S went straight to ebay! All non-racing VR games are loads better without the wire, and it's one less thing to untangle when racing so I use wireless there too.

Are you looking in the AMS2 folder in My Documents or the AMS2 folder where your Steam library is located? These files are in the My Documents AMS2 sub folder 👍 _not_ in the main My Documents folder itself or in the Steam files. If you still can't find them then I'm at a bit of a loss unfortunately as this is where I have them on my setup.

There is a button you have to map in your control settings which then allows you to recenter the VR view 👍

Sure is! VR is still handled the same way and the files should be in the same place too 😎

@@DDFRacer excellent!!! thank you

Hey Manu, I can't say that I've experienced this issue so I'm not sure if it would help or not. I would recommend posting on the Reiza forums but I can see you already did that on Friday and haven't had a response unfortunately 😅 best thing you can do is give it a try and see for yourself if it fixes it then let me know. Should only take a couple of minutes to find out 👍

@@DDFRacer thanks :)

Donington Park 👍

Hmmn that is odd 🤔 not sure what's going on there and can't say I've had that issue before. I'm not using a Quest 2 so don't need to worry about using link since my CV1 is wired in directly, but normally when you start in Oculus mode even the menu should be in 3d space instead of a 2d curved screen. Can't help you with that one I'm afraid, have you tried posting up on the Reiza forums to see if anyone can help?

@@DDFRacer Hi ! :) Found out it was because unknown sources wasn't activated in the Oculus PC app, so Steam VR couldn't start 😅 Now I'm in VR, but for whatever reason, there's no sound when the Quest is selected as sound output. Everything else works : headphones, speakers and screen speakers... Another troubleshooting for another day 😁

Can't say I have tried them to be honest 🤔 I'll give it a look but generally I try and avoid changing nvidia settings that affect things on a global level as they may conflict with individual program settings and cause some funky results.

@@DDFRacer to my knowledge they only adjust the game you use it in. its done when in game by pressing alt/F3 ... where you can select/adjust ... turn on/ off. you do have to have geforce experience installed for it to work.

Sorry for the late reply! I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with the Quest 3 since it's just modifying a text file, although I haven't used this headset so couldn't really comment on how effective it is. The Quest 3 already has a pretty good resolution to begin with according to the specs so it might not be too noticeable, although the best way to find out would be to give it a try and see what you think 👍

@@DDFRacer Dont worry its better late than never right. Yep i will give it a go my quest 3 will arrived in few days.

@@LeMamour Did you try it? If so, did you notice any diff? I have a quest 2 that so could use any bit of help, especially when looking down the straighways. Just got a quest 3 and not sure if the settings would be different (or if it even makes a diff on the q3)

@@Slakass55 Honestly i forgot about this trick, i follow the trick of the oculus debug tool (file inside oculus folder/support). The graphics on AMS2 a amazing with that. Now this morning i did the trick of DDFRacer, when i first did my quest 3 kinda bug at the launch some stuttering (i got a 6750 XT with I5 13400). I then restart pc and headset, lauch the game again and everything run smooth with a slightly better graphics it seems. I will continue compare the two versions.

@@LeMamour Just tried the debug tool, it did nothing for me. Couldn't see a single benefit from it, despite several tries with diff settings. Changing resolution also didn't help clear things up while keeping a decent fps. So at the end what worked best was changing the sharpness to .4 and increasing the super sampling to 1.7 in the app. This gives the best possible image on a gtx 1070 while retaining around 30fps, which is very playable on a Quest 2 without any slowdowns. And the above also proves true for the Quest 3, which looks a lot better in AMS2

Hey 😅 any boost on visuals I can get helps, besides not only does this really make a nice difference on headsets with lower resolutions, it can also help bring things into focus on newer headsets too.

@@DDFRacer Thanks for your answer and of course you are right. I just thought it was quite funny. I had the Oculus CV1 once and I know that you have to count signs rather than read them. hehe. I'm surprised that you still use the CV1 as a VR driver :-).

@@ThePape78 I've thought about upgrading many times but whenever I do my research I find lots of negatives which discourage me from spending any extra money while the CV1 is still alive. I know I could definitely run at higher resolutions than I do right now, but talk of IPD adjustment issues, melted USB ports, quality/latency drops in wireless, snapped headbands etc really puts me off. I haven't found a replacement model that excites me enough to take the plunge 🤔

@@DDFRacer RIGHT, im looking for a pristine CV1 replacement, mines is starting to look rough IDK the CV1 is just so awesome

The graphics engine that Automobilista 2 uses is very well optimised, meaning that you can push it harder than other racing sims but still get the same level of performance. Whether it's at sunset, in the rain, surrounded by headlights or multiple cars on track, AMS2 just seems to run very smoothly so you can afford to increase the settings 👍

That's because the video captured is off his monitor and not from the headset. On either the quest 2 or 3, the image quality is a lot worse than what you see here. Still nice but not the gorgeous clarity and definition you see here. There basically are two types of recordings, I have never tried to save a recording right from the Quest. Not sure i'd want to.

Same for DiRT Rally 2.0 as well, another Codemasters title which could desperately do with looking a little nicer and sharper in VR 👍

Make sure you're right clicking and opening with Notepad instead of directly double clicking and opening the file in your browser as read only 👍

@DDF Racer got it thanks for the reply

Are you looking in the AMS2 folder in My Documents or the AMS2 folder where your Steam library is located? These files are in the My Documents AMS2 folder 👍 but if you're already looking there and can't see the files then I'm at a bit of a loss unfortunately as this is where I have them on my setup.

​@@DDFRacer thanks, I didn't realise there would be another folder outside of main game folder, I'll take a look at My Documents, thanks! Great content btw 👌🏻

I'm not familiar with that screen unfortunately 🤔 have you tried searching/posting on the Reiza forums to see if anyone else has had (and found a solution for) the same issue?

@DDFRacer, I've searched in some forums and the AMS2 subreddit and, unfortunately, didn't find any solution. The "Next Up" screen shows when loading games in SteamVR.

Edit: i just found out that the problem was in my microsoft username and the utilization of foreign caracters.

Can't say I've ever used a Quest 2 but that doesn't sound too encouraging 🤔 sorry to hear that mate! I was considering one for an upgrade but might be having a few second thoughts now. As for the footage you see on the screen, that's a direct mirror of the same image being sent to the VR headset in the left eye I believe, otherwise AMS2 would need a whole heap more resources to render a new image for the recording. I loaded up a replay file and placed the headset on the floor to get a stable image, but it's definitely what I'm seeing in the headset 👍

Since you have a powerful gpu, you will want to play with the super sampling setting. In the Options, look for the VR section. It goes from 1 to 2, in .1 increments. My gpu is just a 1070 so the max I can get away with is 1.6 but that alone makes a world of difference, at the cost of fps. If you can get around 26 fps at the max SS setting of 2, you'd be golden. A lot less flickering, shadows look good, it's a lot nicer. Although with the Quest 3 it's even nicer as the image is more detailed. Oh and put everything else on ultra. It won't drop the fps, believe it or not. However remove all the lighting effects like bloom, flare, etc.

@@Slakass55cool I’ll give a shot. Btw. How is image in 3 vs 2?

@@robloyst4514same here with RX7600 it’s giving me a hard time to set it playable. (Quest 2) In game resolution ya guys are using 1080p!?

After a long deep in to it I can get 60-65fps (1080p MID setting in game and SS 1.0), so 1.4 in debug tools and HIGH settings in Virtual Desktop…I think I squeezed all the juice from my system and feels totally playable and very acceptable graphics (good) for my modest playtime (just fun), getting 75-80°c on gpu spot too.

If it's similar to iRacing then it'll be the distance at which sharpening takes effect maybe? Will have to have a play around to check, but it could possibly be used to make close objects such as the cockpit sharper without applying too much to distant objects like trees and clouds etc.

Do you mean sharpening strength 1.5 .. not 0.5 ?

the only way to have better graphics is to buy 4090 and max antialiasing and super sampling :)

Thanks for the feedback mate, good to know 👍 just out of curiosity what Anti Aliasing and Supersampling settings are you running? If it's at a lower resolution or maybe there are jaggies to begin with then this might actually be what's making it look worse like you said.

​@@DDFRacer I use full resolution with texture filtering set to anisotropic 8x and msaa to high, rift s does not have enough resolution to prevent aliasing and I prefer the image to be softer because then its harder to spot the pixels, everything blends together, sharpening the image does not add detail just differentiates the pixels and adds ringing artifacts that I find annoying and unpleasant to look at.

@@goneg1338 Can't disagree with that at all mate 👍and that's the beauty of these things, they can be subjective. What looks nice to one person might not look nice to someone else and if we all liked the same things then art and design would get boring pretty quickly 😉

​@@DDFRacer4090 owner here. Reverb g2 = super sampling x1.2 via openxr, msaa middle, ingame SS 1.0, AF x16. Overall graphoc settings high/ultra. 90fps no issues. It's beatiful indeed. Thanks to the madness engine. Super nice!

I must admit I haven't tried OpenXR but I might give it a try as performance in ACC has been severely lacking for me regardless of the hardware I've used. That said, this video refers to a simple text edit which increases the clarity in AMS2 with no performance hit whatsoever 👍

I agree. ACC's UE is not made for vr users. BUT with the best hardware even ACC is able to run with 90fps everything maxed out. As you said. ACC looks pretty damn sexy. I run a rtx 4090 + 5800x3d. My ACC with openxr and reverbg g2 looks better than ams2. Even rfactor2 from 2013 looks maxed out better than ams2. Ams2 has a incredible good vr performance. No need for costy hardware to enjoy a good looking sim race title

How do you know that its actually running in openxr? Just the fact that steam VR doesn't load?

@@robloyst4514 i See the OpenXR toolkit Menu

Can you post your OpenXr settings for ACC?

I haven't used a Quest 3 myself, only the CV1 mentioned in this video, but I know a few people have said that the headset is bitrate limited and can cause compression issues, like a poor quality KZfaq video, sometimes. Have you tried upping the bitrate in the Oculus/Meta software?

in oculusdebugtool change the encoding bitrate to 940 and enjoy.

Oh you 😎

In the settings menu, under your controllers/devices, there should be an option to map a button/key to reset the VR position based on where your head is currently pointed 👍 there will also be options for seat forwards/backwards and up/down too. I'm not sure what they are by default and these will change depending on the type of wheel or device you're using too, but the options are definitely there.

I can get ~80fps with my rift s on rtx2060 in AMS2 on high/mid settings, the only other performant sims on VR are PC2 and AC, others like ACC and RF2 are way more laggy.

@@goneg1338 what's the resolution of the Rift? It's easy to run the HP at 50-70% resolution in almost every racing game ... But once you have seen it at full resolution you don't want to go lower ..

@@melog72 1440p while reverb is 2160p so 66%, but 3060 is a lot more powerful than 2060.

@@goneg1338 thats not how how it works ... Rift S has 3.6 MP while HP has 9.3 MP ... Almost 3x the pixles... (1280x1440x2 compared to 2160x2160x2)

Any chance you can get me a PS5 as well? Cheers in advance ✌️
