is there a way to watch at yout six without turning your head all over with vr?

Hey Iceman, I think you saved me in my H111 last night 😂. Anyway, what do you recommend to reduce edge shimmer, I have a 4090 card and a quest 3

how did you open that XR toolkit in the game? When i do it i get openxr toolkit for WMR .. no clue

I can’t get IL-2 to appear listed in the OpenXR toolkit. The game is crashing everything I boot it up via OpenComposite. What am I missing ?

I can’t get this to work at all. Every time I install open composite it causes my game to crash on launch.

CAS is really good - even at low settings - and you can adjust in flight without having to start over. I find 30-40% is perfect. I also turn off all AA and all other 'sharpening' to save some cycles.

Iceman, any comparision comments between the G2 and Q3 from your experience in IL2? pros / cons. Thanks.

Hi Iceman. I wondered if you have issues with slightly jagged base of clouds? I along with a fellow wingman have noticed this issue. I run very similar settings to yourself except I don't use the tool kit, I use the debug tool and I also use Open composite to reduce CPU usage of Steam VR which I find helps. Ref setup, Quest 3, Gigabyte 4080 and 5800x3D. Thanks in advance. Thorn-Sphere. 🫡

If I see people lagging like that, I just go the other way.. even if you shoot them down they usually just warp into you and kill both. Maybe next IL-2 game won't have these issues.

average German player. Happens in every game when theirs a sale on. People try out cheating.

Top-secret German thrust-vectoring technology???....

Appreciate it! I still have the Reverb G2 but I can use my son's Quest 3 to test it out.

2 words that say Virtual Desktop, On Steam has done wonders to my Quest 2, I have not got a Crazy powerful set up, An i5 12600k and a 12gb 3060, I think the 12g of vRam is the 3060's saving grace, I also put 32gb of Ram, That made a massive difference in the Sim Racing on AMS2, I can now race a full track with no crazy stuttering and horrible game play, As long as I get 60fps with Sim Racing I am good, I gets around 72-80 with my Quest 2, VR is nothing short of amazing, And 3 years after you done this video, VR is now awakening everything from Education, Health, And Gaming, I actually loves the fact that kids can now learn anything they want using a VR headset, I would of loved what tech the kids got, lol, I had a Spectrum 48k, I did get a Playstation when they first come out, I was one of the first kids in my street that had a Playstation, Was buzzing coming home to see a playstation, So I can only imagine what the kids think of a Sim Rig and VR, With the PC power there is now, It is a bit scary how fast PC's have become more powerful, The 50 series GPU can make a robot work, lol, I used to pay pound coins to play Arcade Racing games, All for 3 goes lol, And now if you can afford it you can have a playseat that can house the steering wheel and joystick, If someone said to me when I was in my teens that I will be able to wear a headset letting me feel like I just stepped into my TV, And a Sim rig in my room, Allowing me to race people all over the planet at the same time, I would of laughed, lol, But the remember all the ads in the 80s saying in the 2020s there would be motorways in the skies, With flying cars, lol, Do you think we will ever see so called motorways in the sky though, lol.... Still though it is spooky how fast PC gaming has become how PC gaming has become, Some games it is hard to tell what is not a game and what is a game, I seen comments saying they thought it was real, lol, I heard the new Batman for the Quest 3 is meant to be bad ass, I can't play the shoot em games with gore in because I suffer with CPTSD, But this WW2 game is a bit different, It is why I Sim race to help with the CPTSD, I get bad Anxiety and Sim Racing can help when I get bad Anxiety, But Sim racing no cure though, Brings me on to why I got nothing but respect fir the dudes who fought during WW2, Suffering CPTSD from violence from the streets so to speak, I can't even imagine what seeing a Family member or friends head getting blown off next to you would do to a brain that is already fried from war, So yeah I had to get this game just for the reason of honoring what these brave people done during WW2 , These planes are not easy to fly properly while a bunch of planes is firing at you, lol, I am going to look if the Battle Of Britain is in IL-2, But yeah I will jump back on IL-2 later, It is a fantastic WW2 plane game, Fair play to the team who put this game together, I will be on this game more, And I am a Sim Racing nerd...lol Yeah if you not tried the Virtual Desktop app on Steam, Try it, It helped my VR a lot, Huge difference on AMS 2when I started using Virtual Desktop, It is all I use for VR now, So it have done something right....

and finally, where to access that IPD adjustment??

What / where is the startup.cfg file? Is that an IL2 file somewhere? And is there an earlier video that explains what and why to change this? Thanks!

So, just to be clear.... these are settings for playing IL2 in VR, right? I couldn't quite tell what you said at beginning about "on your monitor..". Thank you!

Great vid and tips! Any recommendations to reduce city texture pop in as well as horizon flicker in VR? Also, for me dots appear at dark flickers on the sky until closure renders an airframe. Wondering if any way to reduce flicker and more show as dots as close to as seen in pancake view.

your vid is hard to follow byee

the image and file does not match,man you make it difficult to follow

The background music is painfully loud and equally annoying

Hi David/Iceman. Your videos are a god send for us IL2 users using VR. How can I contact you to share my PC setting etc? Thanks, Neil

Not using a G2 but instead a Pimax 8K-X with Pimax-XR (Open Composite). Running really well on a 5800X-3D 7900XT combo at pitool ss setting of 0.80 One thing I have noticed, clarity aside is my right eye is much sharper than similar settings under SteamVR. With SteamVR one has to keep its SS settings at 100 or it blurs the image like no tomorrow. Nice though using OpenXR instead as it is one less thing to go through to run VR and with good results. I am a little confused though with FSR settings not allowing over 100% so no upscaling as I understand it. Instead drive the input higher and then downscale. Not sure about that.🤔 Anyway Il2 VR is great.👍

What do you think brought the performance gain at 22:30? The Upscaling?

did you just try all the nvidia settings or where did you get those? How do you know what the settings are really doing and if they are affecting IL-2 in VR?

thanks so much this helped a ton. ive been trying to push my pimax crystal past 70 fps all day with no luck till i copied this. locked at 90 and still looks awesome.

These settings have been game changing! I was about to give up after a month of fiddling with settings and not being satisfied with image quality, but wow! Although image quality is superb, I’m having a few problems: - Everything looks really small, especially planes and it’s almost if I was zoomed out - I’m seeing double, especially when pulling up the toolkit menu - I’m having a sensation as if I were looking through a fishbowl lens My system is 4090 / 13900k and Quest 3 I’m a bit confused on all the different places where I can set resolution and wonder if this is the cause. Below is what I have: - Oculus Graphics Preferences (HMD settings): 1.0x / 3712 x 1984 - startup detail_rt_res = 3250 - startup or_height = 3250 - startup or_width = 3501 - startup full_height = 1440 - startup ful_width = 2560 - OpenXR Toolkit = display resolution (per eye) = 3250 x 3501 - world scale = 100% Any idea what may be causing the double vision and other issues I’m having? Thanks so much!

Hey OG! I just got into VR with IL2. Absolutely love it, so much better. Any new updates on tuning VR settings for spotting, resolution? Thanks for the videos

Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to create this. Invaluable to someone getting deeper into VR and IL2

Thanks for this video. Couldn’t get 3090 to drive headset. I had the display res incorrect.

Can you use VR neck saver with this ? Thanks

Great Vid. But how to enable OpenXR under IL-2? When I launch it it start SteamVR...

@OG Iceman VR Love your videos, they have helped me so much get the most out of my headset! Unfortunately since Oculus update V59 I have found Opencomposite no longer works for IL2. Anyone else had this issue?

Would you recommend FSR with a slight downsample + these settings for a 4070ti, or should i watch any of you older vids were you use FSR?

Hey man, I had recently put together a monster build (7950x, 4090, 32Gb DDR5 6000, pimax crystal) and tried running IL2 straight outta steam VR on max settings. Flabbergasted would be an understatement when I got an 8FPS slideshow. Your video helped me set it right and now I’m running a smooth 120fps last night AND the game still looks amazing. Appreciate it!

Sitting at 89fps on IL2 with a lot of air traffic. Thanks for the great vid. Reverb G2 on a 3080Ti is doing well.

Hello OG Iceman VR, thanks for your video! I have a HP Reverb G1 and I always played with steam VR in IL-2GB. I'd like to know if can I shift to Open XR with my headsets. Many thanks. Ciao!

Is MSAA set to =0 on purpose? You still have multisampling set to =2

Thank you so much for this! Noz only il2 become smooth with these nvidia settings, but all vr games benefit much from it! I can play vtol vr with godlike mode at last! Cheers! ✌️😎

Shadows at 0 is 100% and 100% is 0 .. same with Vibrance and highlights. But the last two are not as obvious on all maps. Where shadows are very obvious

I've downloaded everything, gone through the setups, but i can't get the game to launch in VR unless i'm using Steam VR. When I use the desktop icon for Il2, it opens but not in VR. I know i'm missing some crucial and obvious piece, but I cannot get this to work on my system: I-7 with 4060ti. My frame rates stay at 72FPS but drop to an unusable 35FPS when i get into heavy combat...like Normandy beachhead. I really want to figure this out.

@OG Iceman. Im getting a DLL Error coming up when launching the game and freezes. Im using Varjo Aero with IL2. I can for a second bring up the OpenXr in VR menu but then the DLL Error comes up and freezes all. Not sure how to get around it? Pls can anyone help

OK, I am very down with the world scale tip, I am pretty down with the high contrast adjustment tip (still looking for magic spotting settings) but I have to question whether cranking the IPD to get some image flattening has any real benefit and wonder if it might not cause some serious eye strain. I tried it for a while and came away with blurry vision and feeling dizzy. I was also experiencing double vision in the game game at extreme settings (past -20). Most of the flattening effect seemed to be on the cockpit and airframe and did not seem to affect scenery or targets, for me anyway. YMMV, I know... still really appreciate all your experimentation and sharing.

This is great new info! Just a question.. I have a quest 3 and in game the oculus link performance says app res - 4896 X 2640 Encoder res - 4032 X 2240 at 90Hz The quest 3 has a 2064 x 2208 pixels per eye but raised to 4864 X 2592 (and I'm not sure how this math works per eye or not) What would you recommend using in the detail_rt_res and or hight in the startup config? What about for the desplay resolution overide? Also my cpu seems to show its bound in certain situations yet its proformance is only at 27%? is this due to the games single thread use? Thanks, these numbers aren't making sense to me due to the oculus app multiplier. Update- This really made everything look so amazing, everything pops for sure. I have 30-50% overhead but if I fly over ships or activity the cpu snaps to bounded. I guess this is just an IL2 map thing? How was the test map for you on Sunday for FTC? Did you have much lag over these areas? Still not sure about what the above settings should be and it seems to change them on me. detail_rt_res seems to hold but it adjusts hight on me after running the game.

Admitting my ignorance here, but HOW did you get to the startup file at "14:59 IL2 Startup File setup: with edit"? I´m drawing a blank trying to locate it in the files. I am also struggling with getting into the OpenXR Toolbox. It worked great the first time, then have not been able to Cntrl-F2 into it since (well, ONCE among scores of restarts, but then it was gone again.) Trying to get things smooth with the new Oculus Quest 3. Win11, msi Trident X2, i913900K, RTX4090. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for sharing your insights. Appreciate.

Thanks!

And by the way when I say the game crashes because I wasn't using my headset and it fell asleep

How do you get openxr toolkit to show CPU and GPU headroom?
