Just making a foray into VR, wondering if anyone had any tips/tricks to share that will cut my learning curve please? 😁 Thanks in advance!

My two cents:

Pay close attention to the details of setting up the Oasis driver.  Be sure to Bluetooth connect the G2's controllers to Windows before setting up the Oasis driver.  Having to run its Steam app, i.e. set up the driver, more than once isn't a problem. 

Run the G2 at 90 htz and limit FPS to 45 using MSFS 2024 or an external tool such as riva tuner statistics server.  This gives smooth head motion while providing headroom for higher graphics settings, but with an occasional, as in seldom, stutter outside the aircraft.  No need to reduce resolution of anything with your high-end hardware.  Make sure you have the IPD adjustment set for your eyes' IPD, and experiment with your facial fit to get your eyes in your G2's sweet spot.  This can be tricky but when you find it all looks fantastic, i.e. sharp and clear, but it's a rather small area.  To look around your VR world you'll need to move your head for the clarity of the visuals drop off considerably when your eyes look outside of the sweet spot.   Get used to this limitation, yes it sucks but worth it overall IMO.

Thankyou.  I've set up the oasis driver, couldnt get the controllers to connect via my onboard bluetooth, but fortunately there's just been a beta driver release last week that allows connection via the headset itself - so have that all working great.  I havent played with the frequencies yet, but will do.  I see what you mean about the sweet spot, just have to live with that I guess!  Cheers!

Just making sure here.  There is a pairing button that's under the battery cover of the G2 controller that has to be pressed when Bluetooth pairing the controllers to Windows.  Also, when you get your controllers paired, all you need to do is rerun the Steam Oasis app and set up the driver to use the controllers.  Happy Contrails...

If you have the chance for to have a new fresh W10 with still updates in other OS partition only for MSFSs VR or games e.g., the G2 will thanks to you, WMR better noticeably than Oasis still.

For better clarity with the G2, increase the render resolution to 140 % in your openxr runtime. In msfs settings, 100 % render resolution and TAA.

Depends on your settings.  My initial start with the Oasis was only 60-70% of the res I was used to in WMR but after reading everything I could and adjusting settings it's as good as it ever was in WMR.  The tip about setting the resolution to 150% is the most important.
