Not sure if it's just me but it looks like some optimization has been done to VR in WU7.  Not to mention the outstanding work done on one of my favorite countries but the graininess and smoothness of the sim in VR seems to have improved.  That being said more is needed but it looks like Asobo is improving VR as we go along. 

I doubt this as the Developers stated they'll keep World Updates separate from Sim Updates for the future.

However, I can't say for sure as I am still experimenting with the excellent OpenXR Toolkit thus no way to directly compare before/after:

From what I've seen since FS2020's release is things are thrown into the sim both improvements and screw-ups that weren't officially documented as being worked on.  The Longitude Dolphin Dance, oversize buildings/trees, screwed up night lighting, water climbing up mountains (when before the update wasn't an issue), etc. are just a few examples that come to mind.   This slight VR upgrade which is nice could be another example of this.  Asobo has never documented fully everything they've touched in the sim in any update they've ever released.🧐

That was my sense too. FPS didn’t seem greater but it felt smoother in VR

Have you tried using this tool to increase the scale and have "things" feel bigger (as nearly every cockpit and controls feel a bit tiny to me).

 

Thanks:!

Yes I did. It actually works and makes the cockpit larger, however an accompanying effect is the gauges becoming larger as well (expectedly) and I found these too large then. Thus, I reset it to 100% again for now.

As you probably read, this is dependend on the IPD. I got my IPD from an optometrist (65,5 mm) and had it already set in the Windows WMR settings before. This value is correlated to 100% by the tool thus it should be "right".

This was in the C152. I am still under the impression the seats are too small but settled with this for now. Certainly some room for more experimenting.

Yea thats the problem, the scale across planes is inconsistent, and even beetween objects. Our P40 was build using 1:1 scale and it looks fine. Our Goose also was built on 1:1, but some objects are definetely off scale. I also use the IPD that my optometrist told me, and i also use VR Prescription Lenses from VR optician, so i dont have to wear glasses in the headset (i HIGHLY recommend them by the way). I might give that Toolkit a go then.

 

Thanks!

Toolkit is highly recommended. Just wow for what it does regarding upscaling of the image. In VR the clarity now comes a lot closer to what I'm seeing on my monitor. And you can use both algoritmes (NSI or FSR) no mather the brand of the GPU. I found the sharpening in FSR mode, although it is less apparent better because of less shimmering of fences etc. I hope the dev does expand on this with a Steam/Mixed Reality combo.

i‘m using a Reverb G2 and for me your P40 is scaled way to big and every other plane looks/feels fine. Is there any way to scale this down with these tools?

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad it is helping!

Yes, I got these, too. My former ACER headset allowed my normal glasses but that's impossible under the Reverb. Very happy with them, too,

Not to go too far off-topic, so that's my last sentence in that matter: I'd shout out  a big thank you to the developers of the OpenXR toolkit, and there are exciting topics like color correction yet in the pipeline.

Kind regards, Michael

How weird, i also have the G2, and to me the P40 feels good and every other plane too small....:D matter of perception i suppose.

My G2 headset just arrived today...I guess I got it at the perfect time.  Can't wait to give VR a go later tonight!

That's an awesome roadmap of cool features. Is it possible to add Varjo Aero support to the list ?

 

EDIT - Fantastic, just joined your Discord and saw the great news about the Aero
