5 Steps to Improve VR Performance | Microsoft Flight Simulator | Windows Mixed Reality

sTILL CANT WORK OUT HOW TO INSTALL OPEN XR FOR STEAM MSFS2020. opps caps sorry, got so frustrated with it. it never connects and dosnt see headset, using windows mixed reality dosnt see the ivalve index either.

So does having a VR headset eliminate the need for a massive flight sim cockpit build with all the various control panels?

I don't see the option for Mixed reality ? Someone can help ?

Baie dankie Boet!

30fps is not good performance

You sound like Terence Stamp.

You won me over at "took off from Meigs field"

Coppied all these settings and the best I could get was 25 fps. The biggest improvement was when I turned off customised render scale in Open XR developer tools and fps shot up to
35. I was then able to turn up a lot of in game settings and I still get 35 to 39 fps.

Hi,
I have recentyl bought oculus quest 2 and I am very disappointed. On your movie I can see you have animated view for the gameplay and this is the point. How did you got the anime resolution? In my headset I have 3d view I mean like in real aircraft and it is blurred so the eyes get tired very fast. Even the digits are very hardly readable. I think It would be much better to fly in with anime resolution instead with 3d display. It is not playable. Thanks

Very useful and well researched video thanks for all of the effort and great advice…the latest update of MSFS really seems to have nailed the VR experience.

WARNING: After implementing these changes, VR failed to start, with the error message “The initialization of VR failed. Please check that OpenXR is installed on your computer and your headset can use it.” My installation is currently unusable. I'd recommend making only one change at a time, and testing your installation after each to isolate anything that is causing your system to become unstable.

The only downside is say the NVidia driver that could hinder the use of other games. Seams like a hell of a lot of work for not a lot of benefit... VR for me is till unfortunately to much of a gimmick to be worth while. I just Cant see how people say VR is amazing.. I must just have eyes that enjoy clarity only a monitor can bring.. which sucks because I would love it if I could actually use VR and no take if off after 2 mins..

omg just get to the point. why u have to rattle on for so long before u get to the point of the video

"Oldest simer on earth"

Hi, I’ve got an issue on mine. I’m using oculus. Everything looks perfect and is all in focus apart from pop up tabs like objectives and checklist and atc. They’re all so out of focus for each eye that I literally have to shut one eye to be able to read it cause they’re just not in the right place on both eyes, do you know how to fix this? Can’t find anything online.

Mark, if I set WMR headset display to "Optimise for performance" then my mouse does not interact with the switches in VR. If I leave it on "Let window decide" or "best quality" then my mouse ineracts OK

good info. thank you. your flight graphics are incredible. when i fly over downtown chicago, the buildings look like the creatures from the book "Where The Wild Things Are"

You are God! Very helpful and informative!

Mark. You don’t cease to amaze me. 

I recently purchased an HP G2. While it works OK in X-Plane I had several disappointing “What did I get myself into?” moments, after trying to set it up for MSFS.

But, with a coffee next to me, this video on my iPad and my PC in front of me, I followed your steps slowly and carefully. Then I put the headset back on again …… WOW!!
I hope that WOW properly describes what I saw.
And just in time for the PMDG DC-6!

When you drop by Toronto, in Canada, I’ll make you a proper cappuccino and you’ll enjoy a slice of my marble cake.

Until then, coffee is on its way and as usual, the cake is your responsibility.

I am truly thankful for helping me get properly immersed in the totally new aspect of flight simulation, that is VR.

Hello mr mark which is the best vr glass for MSFS

Thanks I watched to see if I could pickup some WHD tips only as MSGS 2020 installer still crashes at the photo. I tried it again about a month back with the new London image but got the very same crash. On my WIN 10 PC...Laurie

Thank you very much for your useful information

Very Very Good!!

Thanks for this , I’ve now found the sweet spot 👍

So MSFS 2020 doesn't show up in my Graphics Performance Preference tabs. Any ideas how to add it?

Hi, I tried my Oculus Guest 2 with i7-6800K and GTX1660 Super, the performance is unstable while I was switching MSFS2020 to 3D mode.

Disregard. Reading the article you linked. Thanks. My 2070Super, Valve Index, Ryzen 5 3600 and 64Gb of DDR 4 3200 CL 16 RAM just can’t haul the mail in be. I’m bumming. I know these specs are not detailed yet I want to ask should I not expect to have smooth vr performance? If not would the gpu when able be the best upgrade? Thanks.

With a Valve Index I don’t see and don’t believe I have a Mixed Really in settings. Is this correct? Thanks.

Custom render scale should be set to 70 percent (XRruntime) to increase performance by 50 percent. Set render scale to 100 percent in game

Wow this changed the experience from 'jikes this was a bad buy' to 'holy shit i'm in an actual aircraft flying!!'. This makes such a difference, thanks!

How do you cap frame rate on the HP Reverb?

VR headsets are still not there yet. They are still blurry around the edges of the eye pieces. Not clear like people say on the HP reverb G2

super

Hello, thank you for the videos . I am new to MSFS 20 and the FLYING SIMS. I am a SIM RACER and this is a new realm for me , and I love it . your info has helped me dramatically . Thank you . I do have a question though if you could help with it. How do you record or stream a single image. I can only see the 2 Eye split image on my screen . Any help in this is greatly appreciated . Thank you again

Can't wait to try these. I have a 3070 and it stutters so bad even on low its almost unplayable at times.

Thank you :)

step one: do 60 hgz and get very smooth picture. is all that you need to know!

Hi Mark.
I'm using a rift s here, with a Ryzen 5 3600 and a 2080ti, plus 32gb ddr 4 3200 ram.

Using the Oculus tray tool you can set ASW to 18fps (this makes it appear to be 36fps and is extremely smooth).
I can run in almost all high or ultra settings without any problem.

The thing is, I really love my rift s in racing sims, but prefer my 4k monitor when flying!
Strange I know but that's just me :)

Thanks for the video :)

Can I get a call when RTX 4080 is available? Or the 7800XT?

Very well explained!!!

Could you do a similar guide for DCS World?

Would i be right in saying that you lose the rain effect on the windscreen in VR.

Thank you!

For me with a 2080 super .... different drivers are plying a big factor... driver version 457.30 works extremely well and I recommend people to try it ... I’m also getting word that 452.06 is worth checking out ...sometime I feel if somethings working good why change it ? ... the most updated video card drivers work like butt for me

Suoer clear and helpful. Thank you...
