Hey @brudershaft4539! Thanks for watching the video 🙂 I'm afraid I'm not this "driving instructor guy" you speak of. I am, in fact, just a nobody that likes making videos about flight simulation, true story 😄

Hey @treyhedgepeth9598, Thanks for your question! I’d be happy to share my hardware specifications with you 🙂 CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16C/32T Memory: Corsair 32Gb DDR4 3600Mhz CL18 GPU: Powercolor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (20Gb GDDR6) HDD: Sabrent M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 4 SSD With regards to the VR, I am using an Oculus Quest 2 headset which I connect via a cabled USB-C connection rather than the Oculus Air Link. I hope this answers your question. Stay safe and keep on simming! 🛫🛩️

Hey @IGhos 👋 The airplane in this video is the Just Flight PA-28R Arrow III (www.justflight.com/product/pa-28r-arrow-iii-microsoft-flight-simulator). I like this aircraft because it’s a realistic trainer that I find helpful in learning the basics of aircraft handling and navigation! I hope to graduate to a different aircraft when I want to learn multi-engine or to take on an electronic flight instrument system. I hope this answers your question and as always, happy simming! 🧑‍✈️

Hey @roudylex, thanks for the feedback! I’m glad to hear you got it fixed. Sounds like that issue has been bugging you for a while. It’s good to know that the video was useful. Always glad to get some feedback. Enjoy some smooth simmin’ 🛩️✈️🚁

Hey @M4tr00s, I’m really glad you like the videos! If you want to see more, I’ve got good news. I’m working hard right now on my next series. I really want to make flight videos that are entertaining and informative at the same time. I’m always learning and pushing to improve everything I do, both in the sim and in making videos. I just wanted to say, it means a lot that you would take the time to give me this feedback! I'm proud to be your fav 💯 If there is anything you’d like to see in future videos, just shoot me a comment and let me know! Stay safe, keep on simmin’ 🛩️🛫💺

Might I say, that’s a fine survival instinct you’ve got yourself there! I’d say you’d probably be fine… as long as I’m not flying it 😂 Thanks for tuning in 👍

Hey Smizzy18 👋 Thanks for reaching out. I feel your pain. It can be tough to get the sim running just right. It definitely takes patience. In answer to your question, I am running a Powercolor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB GDDR6. I hope you manage to get your sim running sweet 🤞 Thanks for watching and happy simming! 🛬✈️💺

Hey @tommygriffiths6911, you can open the OpenXR Toolkit window in the sim by pressing Ctrl + F2. I can’t believe I didn’t include that in the video 🤦‍♂️ I’ll be sure to include it if I do any other OpenXR Toolkit videos in the future 👍 Thanks for watching!

Hey @TheSuperduperzach I’m really glad you enjoyed the first part of my latest VFR adventure! 🛩️I’m already hard at work on part 2. I’m really focused on trying to make my flight videos entertaining and enjoyable to watch. Any feedback is always welcome and is super helpful. Thanks for the kind words and happy simming! 🛬✈️💺

Thanks @TheSuperduperzach! It means a lot to me that you want to see more 😀 Stay tuned for more exciting episodes of Artificial Aviation! 🛩️

Thanks for reaching out @bigg1103! That’s a great question. I’ve been using Windows 10, so I don’t really have any experience configuring this on Windows 11. That said, I’ve checked the developers website (www.apollyonvr.com/oculus-tray-tool). According to them they’ve “only tested in Windows 10” and that “there have been reports of issues on Windows 11”. If you don’t want to risk it, then the alternative would be to use the in-built Oculus Debug Tool (developer.oculus.com/documentation/native/pc/dg-debug-tool/?locale=en_GB). This does the same job as the Oculus Tray Tool. In my opinion the debug tool is not as good as the tray tool. I find it harder to get the settings to apply and stick with the debug tool. Hopefully this helps you get a solution to any issues you might be having🤞May your configurations be short and your flight times be long! Happy simming 🛩️

Hey there @matthewthorndale-finn8991! I’m really glad you liked the video 😃 Thanks for watching, stay tuned and may all your flights be glitch free 🤞

You are very welcome @gorillachinchilla1668! I’m really very pleased that you enjoyed the video 😀 It’s helpful to know that you found it refreshingly different. Coming at this as someone who isn’t a real pilot, I’m always trying to make videos that are interesting 📖 but also entertaining 😄 Just wanted to say a big thanks for the support, stay tuned and keep on simmin! 🛩️🛫

Hey @mikecoffee100, it’s great to have you aboard! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I look forward to making more for you in the future 🙂 Chocks away! 🛩️

This video also gave me an idea…. I just flew that route in the JPL 152, but flew right over the river… I mean *right over*… like 50’ agl, with a vertical climb up the dam and back to the airport…. One of the best flights I’ve taken in a while

Hey @lpburke86, you are absolutely right on this one. I did find out after the video that the VFR sectional charts can be used. Unfortunately, this is a paid-for feature with SimBrief. I’ve not ruled out getting a Navigraph subscription in the future. For what I’m doing right now, SkyVector is still my favourite 👌 That might change in the future. I’d be tempted to take another look at SimBrief when I start learning IFR. Thanks for the awesome feedback and keep on simming! 🛨 🛩️

That’s awesome! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the flight. 😀 I’ll be attempting it in my very next video 💯

Hey @Stefboule1! Thanks for the feedback! I was just so relieved to finally sort it out. It had been bothering me for ages! I’d be happy to share my PC specifications with you 🙂 CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16C/32T Memory: Corsair 32Gb DDR4 3600Mhz CL18 GPU: Powercolor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (20Gb GDDR6) HDD: Sabrent M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 4 SSD I have noticed that performance in the game, especially in VR can differ greatly between wide open spaces or high altitude flying and inner city, low altitude flying. When you think about it, it makes sense. Low to the ground, especially in cities, there is way more work for the system to do. I’ve noticed that the issue can be exacerbated at higher speeds as well. The faster objects on the screen move, the higher the frame rate and refresh rate needs to be to make that movement look smooth. One of the things I sometimes do, is reset my graphics to the lowest settings, and gradually turn everything up until I have a balance between performance and visual quality that I can live with. I hope you resolve the issue that you are having and can get back to enjoying the sim soon! 🤞🛩️

Thanks for your support @realwoodyhughes! I’m really glad you liked the video 🙂 Being honest, this video took way longer to produce than I would have liked. As well as learning about aviation, I’m also learning about how to create interesting and entertaining content 🤞 Right now, I want every video I make to be, in some way, better than the last. Feedback like this is really helpful and lets me know I’m moving in the right direction! Keep on simming and I’ll see you out there 🛫

Hey @paulD427! Thanks for reaching out I’d say there’s never a bad time for some good advice! In fact, this is one of my goals for the videos I’ve been making. Airing my mistakes and journey as a learner so that others can share their advice and tips! I’ve learned, as you say here, to use pitch to control airspeed and to use the power to control altitude. This is something that hasn’t come naturally in the past. I’m constantly reminding myself of this rule though and it’s starting to sink in. I really appreciate the advice and stay tuned for more fun Artificial Aviation!✈️

Hey @georgefaulk2528 Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback! I’m sorry to hear that you feel this way, and I want to seize the opportunity to improve the viewing experience. “To err is human”. I want to start by assuring you that it wasn’t my intention to mislead. I work hard to avoid clickbait titles, whilst generating genuine interest in the topic I’ll be talking about. That said, I’m still new at RUclips and making videos, and so I accept that there will be improvements I can make. This video, like with all of my latest ones, is equipped with chapters to allow viewers to jump straight to the answer or moments of importance to save time. At the beginning of the video, I mention the chapters, as a reminder to viewers that they are available. Finally, I also attempted, in the description, to mention that I use a Meta Quest 2 in the first line. This was all in the hopes of avoiding a situation like this one. I did anticipate that this solution itself might not work for everyone, even other Quest 2 users. To this end, I attempted to add other value in the video beyond just the solution. In sharing the troubleshooting tools and process as well as other techniques, such as how I settled my framerate. I had hoped that, even if the solution didn’t work for the viewer, they wouldn’t come away empty handed. Regardless, I want to make this as inclusive of a viewing experience as possible. Whilst I still believe that all VR users can get value from this video, I recognise it is important to allow people to make that determination for themselves. Therefore, by the time you read this, you should notice that I’ve updated the title to give people that choice. Thanks for watching and keep on simming! 🙂

Dude you could have skipped , fpalms

@@artificialaviation I do aprrieate your efforts in helping, just please provide more info in title.

@@livingsouloftimestudio2887 First I'm not some dude, stop the name calling. Second I would of skipped if I had the right information. Learn to read a post before attaching someone.

@georgefaulk2528 hows Tht name calling? And it's not attacking anyone, just advice for the future cheers

We’ve all been there, right! This was a video I’ve been really eager to make. I was so “chuffed” (I use this to mean “happy” when "happy" isn’t quite.. enough) when it was fixed 😀 Thanks for subscribing and I hope you enjoy the videos to come! I’m just getting started 😉

Hello there fellow artificial aviator! Thanks for taking the time to share how you are set up. 🙏 True story, I am actually running with both tools right now. I did resolve the issue by tuning the ASW mode with the Oculus Tray Tool. I do agree it’s a good tool. I do use the OpenXR toolkit to help me monitor performance and tune the runtime. Typically, I also use it for configuring upscaling. I find it useful to display stats as I can access it without removing the headset 👍 I tend to use the Oculus Tray Tool to tune my encoding bitrate and resolution to the optimum levels. I like that it saves those settings for me! I’m curious, I know that you can use the visual HUD on the OTT. It has more details than the one in the OpenXR runtime, and, from that perspective can be very useful. That said, do you use the OTT for upscaling as well? Do you have the OpenXR toolkit installed at all? 🤔

@@artificialaviation hi!!! thx for the replay. Since the arguments can be case/build sensitive, what works to you does not have to work with me, as we all know. I find best performance vs visual quality with ALVR. The most important things for me are Quality of cockpit (instrumentation and usualy gns750 or gns530/430) to be somehow readable and texture quality not to break Vram, both are limiting factor of my 2080 vram of 8Gb. OpenXR produces dose glitching (moving of parts of objects) and with Tray tool i can get rid of it to a certain level. Using only OTT without OPENXR gives me the best performance after ALVR. I do agree that OpenXR is useful with it's HUD, but once i tune up everything i get rid of it as soon as possible. Try ALVR! ALVR have to be installed on PC and on OQ2. On the Quest is instelled via sideloader, easy. The amount of tuning possibilities is enormous and can be time consuming but has it all. New version of ALVR uses SteamVR as streamer so must be used, older versions can go solo. Also shut down OpenXR and Oculus software

Hey there! Thanks for watching and reaching out. It’s awesome when people relate to what they see in the video. It can definitely be stressful but hang-er in there and keep flying the good flight 🛩️

I truly understand you, we have to be super stressed in order to get that stress relief in VR MSFS :C

if you can ever get it to download sure... and when it breaks? expect soul wrenching disappointment ,months of stress trying to fix it along with infinite download loops. it's like a spa day from hell.

This problem had driven me nuts for weeks! I’ve been so busy flying and making videos that I didn’t take the time to look at it. I’m very glad that I finally did and now I can fly without all the wobbling! Thank you so much for your support!

Thanks for sharing! This is an awesome explanation 👏 One of the things I love about RUclips is how learning can be crowdsourced. I had also read that disabling ASW was supposed to give the best experience. I think that’s why I didn’t consider right away that this was the problem. I was happy that Oculus Mirror picked it up so I could share what was going on. I’m curious, you mentioned that you had this issue with Euro Truck Sim 2. Did you resolve the issue the same way or via a different setting change?

@@artificialaviation I fixed it the same way, I use Windows Mixed Reality so I disabled the Reprojection setting in SteamVR, but disabling ASW in Oculus/Meta fixes the issue just the same. Thankfully it's tied to the headset API, so you don't have to tinker with every sim or game.

Thanks for taking the time to give feedback and show love 👍 Telling me what you want to see, in this way, helps me make better videos. Hopefully it’ll translate into more of what you want to see 🤞 Coming up I’ve got two shorter videos back-to-back. I finally found the fix for that annoying graphical distortion I’ve been having. I’m going to be sharing how I fixed that. I’ve also got a video coming about how I went about planning a more realistic flight as a beginner! I’m trying to balance the shorter and longer videos as I’ve had feedback now that people like both. I’m still learning how to make those longer videos as entertaining as possible. Having done a few now I’ve got some ideas how to spruce up this format too. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more Artificial Aviation!
