Hi all, here are my new VR settings for MSFS2020. Please watch till the end so you don't miss the important steps. I hope these settings will work for you too. Cheers Mike

Hi Mike, I have been following you for a while and have installed your VR setting for VR in 2020. I want to thank you for all of the hard work you put in to help the rest of us get the most out of our 2020 VR experience. I followed your instructions to achieve Ultra Quality setting and the result for me was remarkable. Since then I updated my Nvidia driver to version 555.99 and installed the latest MS 2020 updates. Of course i then entered the Nvidia 3d settings and reset those setting as per your video. However, i noticed that a few of the setting used in the video were now longer available or could not be modified in the 3d panels. Since these updates my VR quality has degraded substantially and now can only get 24 -28 fps with some stutters after getting 42 fps and almost stutter free with your Ultra Quality settings. Last night I followed your Holy Grail Tweak and install the files and settings but it did not make much of a difference and still have not Ultra Quality option in the sim. Not sure if I am missing something or not. Just wondering if you might have any suggestions. I would sure like to get back to the Ultra Quality level I had before. BTW my system is intel I7 10700K, RTX 4060TI, 32 GB ram, and using a Quest 3. I know it is not the most powerful system but it did produce very very good results before. Thanks for any suggestions you might have. Kevin

Nice and practical as always. Thanks for your wise advises. Tank you

Nice video. Just found out about the DLSS swapper tool to. It does magic for my system. (Asus ROG ryzen 9 5000 with RTX3080) Also still on a Reverb G2 and planning on purchasing a Quest3. In combination with the smoothflight tool (managing fps/LOD) i get a very nice expiriance.

Wow, thanks!

I found the OpenXR Toolkit works better in clarifying image rather than using the Tweaks. When using both Tweaks and OpenXR toolkit image quality deteriorated significantly. Latest nVidia drivers and DLSS Swapper to 3.6, using the default settings in nVidia Panel (antialiasing set to 16x) + OpenXR Toolkit gives best result. But like to use AutoFPS when flying in dense scenery areas to maintain about 30FPS. My system i13k + 3090 + G2.

Excellent video. I did all your instructions and the results was spectacular !😊 I’m using a Pimax Crystal for VR with OpenXR (PimaxVR). Right now, all those settings are OFF. Is there any settings I should use for OpenXR ?

Great video. Thanks. Can you say a little more about "downscale/upscale" and cockpit sharpness - I've not heard that discussed but I can understand the problem. Where do you set that?

@Virtusim

2 ай бұрын

With dlaa you don’t downscale because it’s a 100% scale. You can use dlss performance (50% downscale) and upscale in the openxr toolkit to 3000 x …. This wil also increase fps and sharpness.

Thank you so much for your video. You changed my flying experience. Version 3.7 dlss is out. Have you tried it?😊

Hi! I have an i9 12900, 64 gb Ram, a rtx 4090 and I recently bought the Pimax Crystal. I have been watching videos for several days on which is the best setting. The truth is that with almost everything in ultra I can't get above 35 fps with the fenix a320, and with GA I do get about 45 fps. I have tried with dlss 3.7 in DLAA, with TAA, in OpenXR I have set the resolution to 2800. I don't know if I have to go down to High or medium in MSFS, but with the computer I have I think I should have no problem to get 45 fps stable without lowering much the visual quality. Any idea what I can be doing wrong? It’ s better DX12 for VR?Thank you very much

@Virtusim

2 ай бұрын

Hi, i’m not sure what you want. More fps or better visual quality? I always try to get the smoothest VR as possible and adjust graphic settings to get the best image quality without loosing to much fps. It’s a balance between image resolution and graphic settings. When you choose to upscale to less then 2800, you will gain some fps, which you can use to set some graphic settings to high or ultra. Personally I always use DX11, but I need that for recording and other software

Hi Mike, thanks for your lecture about the VR settings. Took me about a week to figure it out. My game dir was somewhere else. The result was amazing. Can you help me out with a little inconveneance?

Thanks a lot, I think you have the fps counter on. First, go to the Options tab, then select General Options, then Developers. Set the developer mode to ON. Next, in the [DevMode] bar, select “Options” and “Display FPS: You can then observe the FPS readout in the upper right of your display. Click again to disable “Display FPS” and it should go away. You can then exit Developer mode to get rid of the menu bar at the top.

The DLSS Tweaks adds Ultra Quality. I fly DLAA already for a year on my 4090. Beats the daylights out of TAA and I run Bucchia NIS 20% so all on Nvidia Tensor cores. If you don't need Ultra Quality, can I skip the DLSS Tweaks part? I think so.... The 16X CP and SIM really is interesting. I already do that.

No need to.

In my setup 7800X3D plus asus rog strix 4090oc, DLSS induces poor results in my Quest 3 with virtual desktop, TAA and 120% resolution and 80% openXRTK CAS sharpening delivers the best graphics and 45/50FPS everywhere with quite all parameters at the max. Of course DLSS provides 10/15FPS more but the picture is really foggy specially far away.

Hi Allesandro, when you only use DLAA, you don’t need to. But when you need that extra fps to run the sim smoothly, you can easily switch to ultra quality or quality. Both settings will have dlaa antialising on top of it because of preset F, which looks better then without it.

The runway is not rendering right because you don't have the anisotropic filtering at 16x in the nvidia control panel or the sim. Try using 16x in the nvidia control panel and off in the sim.. same results but if you do a hard analysis you'll find that you're loosing performance. I suggest you to get a Quest. Question for you. What GPU are you using? Someone told me that the 3.6 version is not working on the 4090. I tried 3.5.10 and 3.6 and honestly can't tell the difference. Thanks.
