Prepar3D V5 VR on old PC ?

Recommended Posts

I anticipate that MSFS2020 will be VR ready somewhere 2021 and only THEN will i build a new super gaming pc system, not sooner.

Currently i am OK flying VR Rift CV1 with Flyinside and FSXSE with framerates varying between 5-20. Since the FPS in the cockpit is 90 i do not really care that much if the world around me only updates with low framerate like 20 FPS max.

What I do find frustrating is that i am very often getting memory issues (VAS running full) due to the Orbx global, vector, openlc areas etc..... or the mousecursor dissappearing after a while, That, together with some texture issues (airport buildings dissappear at night) i think has to do with Flyinside but i am not sure. 

Would it be worth trying Prepar3D V5 now that it has improved performance with similar settings ? 

i7 980 X (6-core) at 3.30 Ghz clock, 12 GB RAM DDR3, 500 GB SSD drive GTX780 6GB VRAM STRIX, Oculus Rift CV1 -

Or should i just forget about it? I would need to clear some serious hard drive space for it

 

Thanks:)

Definitely not yet.  1. P3D v5 has some serious issues at the moment, not the least of which is their VR implementation.  Just like last year, they release the software but the VR (among other things) has to be patched etc.  It still has issues  - and I too am using Oculus CV1. 

2.  You are not going to be happy with the performance based on the fact that you are used to FlyInside (which has excellent VR interfacing) AND the fact that, the reality is you need a faster PC to make it on par with what you are used to.  I'd hang out for awhile and wait.

I haven't tried v5, but with v4.5 I would consider a 1080ti to be the absolute minimum for enjoyable VR using complex addons.

Now switch for me until FS2020 releases, I'm far to invested in FSX addon wise.
