Nice tutorial, it didn't work for me until I changed MFS PC resolution from 1080p to 4K, in the other hand I noticed the VR version of the sim become much sharper with this 4K PC resolution and no performance lost.
@@theVRpilot big display improvement in the VR version with same performances. That why people that have 4K monitor got better VR display. About VR recording now it is more sharp, thanks for the trick.
So I tried doing this and I'm using a Cintiqe tablet display as my second monitor, and I was having OBS use the mixed reality portal to screen record. My HP reverb blinked out and thankfully all I had to do was restart and reinstall drivers and software. But I was really worried that I damaged my VR headset. I had great resolution for one test flight. As much as I appreciate teh tutorial, there has to be a safer way to record in hi res from a VR headset. I've tried so many things I'm getting a bit frustrated. It looks great on my headset but OBS makes it look like 360 res.
Is there a way to output the recording without the black “Binocular Mask”? You are showing how to take a VR180 3D video and convert it to 2D zooming into just the left eye.. Why not just create a VR180 3D video for those who have a VR Headset.. RUclips supports VR180 content..
RTX 3080 here and this resolution trick doesn't work for me, just keeps popping an error that says my display doesn't support that resolution. (It's an ASUS 1440p, 144Hz gaming monitor.) Go figure. :(
I followed your other one and was able to record vr footage really well with OBS. however this did not work for me since i dont have the DSR option (which is really strange since I have always had that with my previous setups) nor did I have the option to customize resolution. it was grayed out. i'm running a 4090 at ultra wide screen(Samsung Odyssey 32:9), maybe that has something to do with it. Appreciate your tutorials
Another question you show a custom resolution of 3840 x 2160.. Most VR180 Cameras output at 5.7k.. Can you create a custom resolution of 5760 x 2880..?
Then you essentially gain the benefit without having to do anything and what I think happens is that some folks end up recording higher quality videos while others done and people can’t figure out why. It’s almost hard to think that a simple desktop resolution would result in an increased recording while in VR.
@@theVRpilot So I'm assuming that I can just skip the the custom resolution creation and set MSFS to 1080P? It's the little tricks that really make the biggest impact. We keep seeing it again and again. :)
Created the custom resolution then apply, screen goes black for a while then comes back set to the default setting of of 3840x2160 (30hx). Could this be a limitation of my monitor? It's an early 4k. (As to the coffee thing I used to own a coffee roastery, we roasted about 120,000 lbs (green) a year!)
Steve! Hey actually, you know.... if you are running a 4K monitor already you can skip that step. Follow the rest of the guide for the software and how to stretch the image. This will apply for those with 1080p / 2k (1440p monitors) Btw - monitor is about 9 years old. 1080p, but I also have. 4K monitor In front of my sim pit.
Ah! That is awesome! My grandfather had 33 acres in Puerto Rico and when I was younger we would gather the coffee right from the trees into several huge sacks and them sell them! Great memories. Thank you for sharing that!
hi, i just discovered this nice tutorial, but after having changed the resolution on my left screen, and adapted the icon sizes as in ur tutorial, i cannot get any image in the OBS capture. I use the same parameters as before, game capture, oculus mirror window, but the obs capture area stays black, sound seems to be there... And if i come back to the previous resolution then its ok.
Hello, after setting the new resolution. Restart OBS (close and open it again) have MSFS open and IN VR. Under sources Add a new one, Game Capture, find your MSFS exe. Now, you have to stretch the window to fight either left or right eye. lmk if that helps. label this source MSFS VR and leave the original source as a 2d one just in case you record 2d.
@@theVRpilot It works ! thks a lot ! Its me that didn't understood. I succeed also to work wih Mirror but the thing is that the mirror window must be on the same screen as msfs, the screen with 4k res. Now i need to try with MSFS screen, but i have the FOV with give a round image... so i tried first with mirror, don't know if we can minimize the FOV effect in MSFS VR screen...
Comments are for discussion right? Well, RW pilot and instructor here. The VR immersion is better than ever with MFS scenery and environment.... No offense, but... even with good capture rates, VR sucks for youtube videos. Too much head movement. Reminds me of an 8 y/o filming a wedding video. Breaks all the rules of good videography. This makes it rather clunky for training videos on youtube. When I follow along for training I need to see instruments. And... unfortunately, trying to fly instrument IFR, where there is lots of twisting freq, on Pilotedge or Vatsim is really a PITA. Too many misfires. Until there is a new style of controller, perhaps a glove of sorts, VR is not ideal. Doable but not ideal for RW sim pilots. Great for VFR "home alone" gamers tho. For training and youtube the most affordable, most immersive, and most flexible option is still 3 wide monitors with Air manager/knobster and touchscreen below. This is why all the FAA approved sims are 3 wide with either hardware (expensive) or AM touchscreen solutions ($400). I am hoping MFS does "True" multi-monitor some time soon, until then X-Plane is my choice. Not affiliated or fanboy of either. Competition is good. This comment is basically just a "heads up" for RW simmers and RW pilots that want to train or keep IFR/ATC skills current.
Not true, I have just finished a flight in a 152 just by instruments without touching the yoke at cruise altitude, all most landed with no hands on the yoke, just ruder, power and pitch trim the poor man autopilot... Fucking amazing from modelling to the sound performances. Xplane was a good platform but this sim is as it real as it gets on a living room. If the host of the Chanel sets my computer for recording I will do the flight again.
Good points all valid. Pros and cons and different wants from the user will change what we need or do for sure. Thanks for your insight. I find it valuable for my experience and what I’m doing, and recording VR is a challenge until the actual developers fix how it’s done. No one is trying to ensure we can record smooth VR image, we are all bootlegging it lol. It’s tough.
@@theVRpilot to fix head movements you can try to set 100% shaking reduction in openXR Toolkit Last video on my channel show results Hope it help you :)
Thanks for the clip but it looks like its still a binocular view . When I use obs vr steam vr has to run ,if I run steam vr then ms2020 crashes. The only way I can record is holding up the mobile to the left hand eye on the monitor and record . Here's a wee clip ruclips.net/video/2QNW5SdVDQo/видео.html Regards Dave

This retired old guy loves coffee. Coffee is my life blood! 👍
Haha, same here!
I’m on vacation and I brought my own espresso maker to the router room lol.
Awesome stuff. Going to try this.
I think this overall still works.
MONSTER!!! My wife says the same thing to me. I'm definitely addicted lol!

Awesome Jose ...!!! great run thru ... thanks
You tell wifey i said coffee is life. Lol. She will probably smack you for me, but i accept this punishment.

is there a way to tone down the fisheye effect in the obs recording? worked perfectly but it seems its a fisheye effect after I uploaded the clip.
You have to stretch the image.
you should reduce shaking to value of -60% in open XR, then it is much more smoth, and not thgis terrible shaking :)

thank you!
You're welcome!
I find that if I bump my monitor resolution up to this WMR doesn't want to connect to the headset, is there a work around?
I already have 4k monitors and all the steps are already set up for 4k. Should I still change the game resolution to 1080? Or can I leave it at 4k?
If you are already at 4k, then your good to go! Do not change it.

So oddly enough, that’s now how it works. The software records your desktop screen and resolution. So, I guess maybe you could try it?
What if you're already running 4k?

Are you using openxr at all with ur headset ?
Yes, I am. Open XR is set to on, but Reprojection disabled and for the video custom resolution set to 50%.
I’m game render scale set to 100%.
