Hi guys, finally trying to get VR working for myself in 2020 (and 2024 eventually) as I finally got something to use VR Desktop with after seeing so many videos about it being the best way to use a Quest 2 which I currently have.  I followed some suggested settings from a youtube channel that were listed as appropriate for my hardware and on loading in I noticed looking around the cockpit the aircraft jump up & down a bit as I look around.  I can't figure out how to fix this.  I've tried with and without VR desktop's ASW on and no difference except I went from 80fps to 40.  I do have MSFS capped at 80fps in the Nvidia driver settings.  Not sure if that affects VR though.  Is there anywhere specific I should look at to fix this jumping around?  it's almost worse than low fps.  I was using VDXR runtime as well.

It sounds like a tracking error. Low performance (low fps) can cause this. Also bad lighting (room light). I don't see how you can have low performance with that gpu and cpu, however.

Thanks, yeah I'm not sure how to fix this.  Tried with lights on and no difference (normally I don't have lights on in my office).  I can run the headset with VD in Elite Dangerous for instance with none of this kind of thing even in the dark.  I seem to remember the same issue a while ago when I tried when running the headset hardwired and with the Oculus app instead of VD and just sitting in the DA62 in the middle of nowhere.  I also noticed the same behavior today when I also fired up 2024 and tried it there. 

As @Fielder says, sounds like a tracking issue.  Assuming it is, are you in Windows mode?  If so, try reducing the window size to the minimum it will go without minimising it (you can't minimise it or the mouse cursor will disappear).  Sometimes, if the screen window is too large, the movement of the view projecting from the screen can confuse the headset tracking cameras.

That's a good tip, I never knew this before !

Windows mode?  I think it's just running in normal fullscreen then I press ctrl-tab to activate VR mode.  I also normally run frame gen on in 2D so not sure if I should disable that first as well, and HAGS so I can use frame gen

It used to be a bit of a ‘must’ in my earlier days of the original HP Reverb and XPlane 11 😀
 

 But with X Plane, the mouse cursor would work without being visible on the relevant Window so you could actually minimize the monitor’s view of the VR screen altogether.

Try it running in windows mode (I think the option is in General settings of MSFS) and just before you switch to VR, resize the window to make it smaller (it will reduce to around 1/3rd of your full monitor area.

It might not be the issue, but worth a try - both versions of MSFS tend to be happier in windows mode even if you don’t resize by much.
