Cheers This guy fiddles around quite a bit, but in an informative way. I found that leaving most or all settings at auto also gets good results as well.....

December 17, 20232 yr I have just done a 45 minute flight in the A2A Comanche, performance was fine and great not to have the use the link cable . Oculus link was always very poor and I always used the link cable. At the end of the flight though, shut the aircraft down, log book came up and recorded, but when iI clicked go back to main menu steam vr crashed and msfs ctd. Using cable performance can sometimes be very laggy, sometimes perfect, so far steam vr has always been consistently good, using auto settings 3080rtx on a i7 12700k with 32 Gig ddr5. 2gig Ssd Quest 2 Windows 11
December 21, 20232 yr Couple more flights done, no crashes and VERY smooth, in fact its been more stable than using the link cable !!!!!! Be nice to get the graphics a little sharper outside the cockpit but I guess that's a Quest 3 ! Only downside is have to charge my battery in the headset , with the link cable never seemed to go flat, For free this software is excellent I am flying across New Zealand and it looks great Edited December 21, 20232 yr by Bozdog 3080rtx on a i7 12700k with 32 Gig ddr5. 2gig Ssd Quest 2 Windows 11
