December 24, 20205 yr Flying VR low and slow in smaller planes is great, but all in all I‘m more into airliners. While I‘m happy with performance and visuals in small GA planes, I haven‘t found the sweet spot for airliners yet. It’s either smooth and uncomfortably blurry or sharp (at least the cockpit) with poor frame rates. Now I was wondering if anybody has been able to get acceptable results with airliners, especially the A320, and how. My specs: i7-8700K, RTX 3080, 32 GB Ram, Reverb G2 i9-11900K, RTX 4090, 32 GB ram, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, TCA Airbus sidestick and quadrant, Reverb G2
December 24, 20205 yr I think we need a patch from MS/Asobo pretty darn soon. A brand new 3080 and still bad framerates is just not acceptable in 2020/2021. Reverb G2, 3000-series and MSFS VR was supposed to be the dreamteam. A gift from high heaven.
December 24, 20205 yr I'm still messing with the airliners. I found the A320 cockpit pretty disappointing, as in dull and blurry, but it might just be my settings. FPS remained at about 40 for me, but overall I found the cockpit not nearly as compelling as the glitzy Aerofly Airliner cockpits. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically......

I think the 787 looks the best of the lot. But one thing has made the MSFS VR experience clear to me and that is how high the quality of PMDG's products really are. That being said, I think the MSFS default airliners are lightyears beyond the old default FSX ones. Pretty good, all things considering. Edited December 24, 20205 yr by andreh

I'd agree with the comments above about performance - basically, you're not going to get decent frame rates with any sort of visual quality. I think it's worth doing a few airliner flights just to fly through the MSFS clouds, and to see what the world looks like up there. I'll be sticking to PMDG/P3D for most of my airliner flights, though (that's all in VR btw), and enjoying MSFS VR for what it's best at - low and slow.

Placed the 787 right on the runway, took off through an overcast sky at dusk. Very beautiful. My p3d 4.5 can't match that.
