OpenXR has been updated and so have my settings. If you have any tips for improvement let me know in the notes below....thanks

Your note on the HAGS has seriously helped me, FPS jump was amazing, I was spending hours on trying to figure out why the game was stuttering! THANK YOU

Wow, Mark! Great job! You explained things precisely and in detail but explained each step. Really educational and useful.

Great video as always expected from SimHanger

Really great video, even for me with a couple of years up my sleeve doing VR. Thanks a bunch for puttin in the effort for us Mark 🙏

Superb as always - many thanks. Glad you use hardware (GPU) that is not ‘state of the art’ as it is more applicable to many of us in the real world.

Wow! ..Thanks for that Mark ..What a lot of work and time went into that video! . Same as the work Steve from VR Flight Sim Guy puts in . You guys are great! Helping us all out A few tips i will use but it seems every system is different and lots of variables within the sim so i guess its " test test and test again" lol . Thanks again

It’s good to see some are able to enjoy MSFS 2020 Laurie

Thank you so much. You are very easy to listen to.

It helped a lot. I haven't had an interesting picture for a long time. Thankful

Great video good sir, thanks.

👍1a superb Information. Very important for All who struggling with the settings. Very well explained Marc👍 Take care

I was trying to decide if I should roll the driver back to version 457.30 from version 466.27. But, thanks to your video, I'll stay with version 466.27. You saved me from spending the weekend testing, and tweaking MSFS. Ryzen 7 3700x, 32gb RAM, RTX 2080ti, 1TB NvM, Reverb G2, MSFS store version.

This is a really excellent tutorial Mark nice one! Once you get your new system, you should be able to boost render scale to 90-100. Thanks for the shout out and take care. 👍

Great video - I like your balance of to the point but including detail that perhaps others are not aware of. I'm new to VR and have a 3070 / 5600x so I'm keen to find the right balance as I feel I should be getting better performance!

Hi Mark, instead of 70 & 70 render scaling, keep MSFS scaling at 100 and lower the open XR setting until you get the same final resolution (which is shown in sim settings). Because of the nature of TAA anti-aliasing, you will get better clarity for the same number of pixels rendered.

Thanks for the great video!

Thanks for this

The problem first occurred when both Chrome and Firefox were not detecting my HP HD webcam while writing an exam on AMCAT platform. Both the browsers automatically chose screen capture recorder as my webcam, and I was not being allowed to manually change this selection. I later uninstalled OBS Studio and several other video recording and editing software, but Chrome detects a screen capture recorder as a webcam. I uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome, but to no avail. I want Chrome to detect only my built-in HP HD webcam.

OpenXr installs the 32 bit api - I have to uninstall the open xr api and modify, use the steamVR api directly in regedit for it to work at all on my system. (I play wirelessly using the Occulus dashboard, virtual desktop and Airplay)

Brill vid! I was really shocked to see the drop in VR using HAGS - that's almost 50% drop isn't it? Anyway - I must try the HAGS off setting for VR!

Question. They recommend with the latest drivers to use HAGS on. When you did the comparison with HAGS, was you using the latest driver?

Hey Mark, is there anyway to get rid of the compass only on the top left side of my screen monitor without removing the other instruments at the bottom ?? I know you can go to the HUD display and turn everything off but I don’t want everything off just the compass

Thanks for posting this video! It'll help me a lot I think!!! Definitely saving this video!!! VR Flightsim Guy is another great resource for me too! Man, I guess I'm in bad shape! Currently I always use Steam VR for both MSFS 2020 and for X Plane 11. I don't even know HOW or WHAT other methods or programs are available to run them in VR other than Oculus or Steam VR.... I think I have some digging to do!

TIP: Microsoft settings: Mixed Reality: Headset Display: Experience options: Optimize for performance.

Recently, I don’t know why Cockpits are not life like scale on VR, looks like smaller than 20% in 747 cockpit, very small yoke. I can’t find any solution to fix it. This reported issue has been posted in somewhere since Dec 2020.

Help me decide! Get a Reverb G2 now, or wait for the Vive Pro 2? I'm not in a hurry.

i have a 3090 GEFORCE RTX graphics card with my Lian Li gaming maching specifically for MSFS!!!

When your in a cockpit is there a shade like feature like if your wearing sunglasses? When I stick my head out of the cockpit the lighting is more real and when I go back in there is that shade like substance. HP Reverb G2

Always enjoy your videos, thank you. Always clear and concise. There is one thing That I hope you can help with as I haven't been able to find, and that with my VR Reverb G2, what exactly should I be loading before/after msfs2020 and in what order between Mixed Reality Portal, OpenXR, OpenXR Developers, then MSFS 2020. I always get the feeling of overloading my 32gb Ram and is it detrimental to performance if I am. Hope you can understand this.

Great video and very thorough. My question is, do you know if having a certain monitor resolution makes a difference in performance with your VR headset? I have a 4k monitor and I know that it uses more on your GPU when in 2D. But what about in VR? Should I adjust my monitor default resolution to say, 1920x1080? Just curious on your thoughts with this? Thanks again for the great video.

UI have an i9-10850k/msi3090/reverb G2 setup and for me it's HAGS on and game mode off. render scale 100/100 (mostly, i drop it in sim if req) and reprojection off. Unfortunately this sim is so demanding that top hardware is a must to get the best out of it, it's just a shame that computer parts are like rocking horse s**t at the moment!

Does anyone know if upgrading to Oculus Quest 2 from the Q1 is worth it? My PC is capable of running VR pretty decent but I can't help but feel like I'm still missing the smoothness that a lot of people talk about. I have gone through all the graphics improvement videos and done as much as I can and it has all helped immensely bringing the experience from completely unplayable to at least something that I can mess around with. But there is still this annoying jittery movement. I don't think it's the FPS, that seems to be fine. It's almost like this shaking inside the headset and some stuttering outside the cockpit. Is there any reason to think the advantages of the Quest 2 would have any affect on my experience? Here are my specs if anyone has any thoughts. (AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 32GB, 2080rtx)

Tip to maximise performance : Install an RTX3090 and 1000w PSU =D

Ex-lockdown haircut and still wearing pajamas, but still nice video.

open xr does not sees my Quest 2

My OpenXR WMR cannot find my Oculus Quest 2

HAGS for me DESTROYS performances. I used CP2077 with the exact same viewing angle, exact same scene and the difference is between 8 and 10 FPS less with HAGS on. 5800X 4.9GHz RTX3080 32GB 3600MHz

Hi, I'm using oculus 3 and I activate openrx in the oculus program. I installed and use open xr tool quit too. But do I need to have open xr open in windows too, because when I tried to launch openrx the application is telling me that it is not the default setting and if I autorise it, my oculus is no more working. Thank you and have a nice day.

what software do you use here for seeing your FPS please?

I've been told I can't use vr with. Ryzen 5 3600x ddr4 32gb Rtx2070 super. I need to update CPU and GPU 😳

I gave up quickly with rift S months ago. with a 2080 GPU. Sounds like I should have another try for VR mode?

What the hell is HAGS?

You look like you are both 21 and 61. I hope I'll age like that and do tutorials on how to get the best performances with budget brain chips for neural virtual reality games.

I bought a G2 a few months ago and while FS is playable sometimes especially in non-urban areas, it's just too inconsistent and janky to bother with. At this point, currently, FS is the worst performing VR game/app by a significant margin. The most likely culprit is FS's extremely poor processor utilization (from a multithreading standpoint). It's been under a year since release and numerous performance related bugs have already been ironed out so I'm not without hope...but man is it ever annoying for now.

Hello and thanks for yet another great video ! I have been sick for a week and have had ample time to tweak my system, and just yesterday I had the experience of my life with MSFS. I have NEVER experienced such a smooth experience with such high settings. I will post my specs and settings here, so that anyone interested may have a go at it. It is a copy/paste from a post I made to another channel : Hello my friend. I've been sick for a week, and so I've had ample time to tweak settings and stuff. And I have to tell you, I've just had the experience of my life with the HP Reverb G2. Super smooth while flying low and personal over all major cities, like NY, San Fransisco, Paris, Antwerp, Brussels - you name it. I will list my hardware and settings now, maybe you want to have a look and see what you think ? I have the latest Nvidia Game Ready-Driver installed : 466.27 ( 04/29/2021 ) GPU: GeForce RTX 3070 VENTUS 2X OC, CPU: i7-10700k Motherboard : ROG Strix B460-F Gaming, 32 GB RAM, running on a 1TB Seagate SSD Game Mode OFF Hardware Acceleration OFF OpenXR : 70% render scaling, motion reprojection OFF Nvidia Control Panel settings: All default, except these : Power Mode : Max Performance Virtual Reality Pre-Rendered Frames : 3 Texture Filtering - Quality : High Performance I also changed the properties of the FlightSimulator.exe file. Left-click, then right-click it, select Properties and then Compatabilty. Under Settings, check the box De-activate Fullscreen Optimization My in-game settings: Render Scaling 100% Anti-Aliasing : TAA Terrain LOD : 200 Terrain Vector Data : ULTRA Buildings : ULTRA Trees : ULTRA Grass And Bushes : ULTRA Object LOD : 200 Volumetric Clouds : HIGH Texture Resolution : ULTRA Anisotropic Filtering : 16x Texture Supersampling : 4x4 Texture Synthesis : ULTRA Water Waves : HIGH Shadow Maps : 768 Terrain Shadows : 256 Contact Shadows : ULTRA Windshield Effects : LOW Ambient Occlusion : OFF Reflections : HIGH Light Shafts : OFF Bloom : OFF Glass Cockpit Refresh Rate : HIGH I have set Live Real World Traffic to OFF I have set Live Weather to OFF I have set Multipplayer to OFF All my testing has been done in the Free Aircraft: Zlin Aviation & Got Gravel Grravel Special Edition Like I said, this setup is BY FAR the best I have seen. It works wonders for ME at least. I would be suoer-interested to know the result if you or anybody else want to try this . Kind regards from your Norwegian pilot-buddy :-)
