I have noticed something recently. Being someone who enjoys a can of beer once in a while I have always found it a bit difficult to take a swig while wearing my Quest 2. My wife came home the other day and she had to get bottles for some reason. WOW! What a difference. I can now have many bottles of beer while flying and I now don't even have to raise my Rift even a little! If you drink canned beer now is the time to retry bottled, makes life WAY easier. 

Hope I could of helped some people out with my experiences.....

Fly on!!

OT, but even bottles are challenging to drink with an HMD.

The solution - straws!

I’ve drunk my coffee, beer, whatever many times on long airliner flights through a straw.

For those out there considering a heavy drinking session, perhaps a CamelBak or similar/

Haven’t quite got to the point where I ask for a straw with my beer in the pub, but I’m almost there. 🙂

Perhaps you do not have the latest version of OTT. I am on 0.86.8.0

nVidia settings will only apply to your monitor, not to your HMD

maybe 30 only shows up for Rift S. I've never seen it for quest?

Make sure you have the latest version. I had to update mine by downloading a full new copy. The internal check in OTT didn't work. The older versions didn't have 30hz.

The latest download here https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/oculus-traytool-download.html

Still needs to be updated internally once you run it...then you'll have the 30hz options

Thank you, it needed a second update to show the extra modes.

@redshift27 or anyone else...

Are you changing these settings under the global game setting or are you able to create a custom profile in OTT for Flightsim? When I try and add the .exe located in C:\Users\[myname]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\FlightSimulator.exe it tells me that the file cannot be accessed by the system.

Under the global game setting.

I now seem to be doing alot smoother without using Oculus Tray Tool at all.

I didn't see any change regardless of refresh rate settings for ATW or ASW.

Just made things stutter more for me along with the annoying black frames and hour glass loading frame jumping

Does anyone else have the problem of when you centre the view after initialising VR mode, the HMD goes black? Original Rift here.

Did you update the Oculus software to beta? If not, it's best to do so.

I'm having outstanding success thanks to a YouTube video by a guy named Overkill.  Try following his advice.  Improved my setup tremendously.

thank you that helped me a lot, my VR is now smooth at around 30 FPS using virtual desktop. I am running a Quest 1  I7 8700K and GTX 1080TI with 64 GB of ram so like many its necessary for me to make some compromises to get it smooth and jitter free. This will be outstanding when the bugs are ironed out and I eventually get a 3090. Virtual Desktop is a better option than the link cable in my experiences thus far, cheers

Tried that, - edit, it worked! Moral of the story, wait for the update to finish installing before trying to launch VR...
