Prepar3D v5 and VR

[YoYo 374]

I’ll wait about first opinions about VR from 14 april or from beta testers ;).

If v5 performance isn't on par with Aerofly FS2 at this point as far as VR Optimization then I can't bother.

As far as a CPU/GPU optimized stutter free experience in both Single Pass and Stereo 3D Modes.

Where max or at least near max graphical settings can be a reality for higher power hardware.

Does DX12 bring any benefits to VR? VR hasn't been mentioned much in the feature list.

Will the new Nvidia VRSS (Variable Rate Supersampling; see https://devblogs.nvidia.com/nvidia-vrss-a-zero-effort-way-to-improve-your-vr-image-quality) be incorporated?

Good question also!

That's 'cos nobody wants it.

Any case there is any doubt, that was 'irony'.

Good news:

VR support not worse than in P3Dv4.5.

Or, how about this:

Hello,

Version 5 will still fully support VR. VR performance is also improved due to the performance improvements made in the DX12 rendering engine overhaul.

Why don't you go into the thread and tell that to Rob McCarthy et al.  Here is the link (again), in case you missed it:

I'm sure they'd appreciate the constructive feedback.

Well......I am very skeptical about this message in P3D V5:

 

Enhanced atmospherics is not supported in virtual reality mode and has been disabled!

That does not fit to wat LM wrote earlier: See post above.

Others?

Just took a spin in P3d V5 with the Just Flight Tomahawk and ORBX TE South.

Currently the VR experience is poor. With the Rift S the left eye is flickering/tearing. Tried in both stereo and single pass, but same issue. Also, as above, enhanced atmospherics is not supported in virtual reality mode.

On the positive side, frame rates are definitely much better, so going forward things look very promising. Also, no black scenery pops (as yet). Just wish it was a bit more usable out of the bag - which is not the case right now.

One step forward, two steps back it seems...

 

I wish I read about that the enhanced atmospherics are not supported in VR earlier. I would have held off my purchase until it is.

Same boat, in V5 flickering with Oculus rift S

[YoYo 374]

Flickering? Oh no....

I saw posts about oversized cockpit now also in VR in v5. Is it true?
