replace old file in oxrtk folder after backing up original

boot up msfs and start a flight parked

open oxrtk and adjust filed of view smaller very slightly and then choose depth increase settings from 10 to 30. You can go higher (more depth) but at the expense of eye comfort. You can see the results of this tweaking on the fly as you move the sliders. No need to close oxrtk to see the results.

 

This is great the extra depth helps a long way!

I can now dial in the Santos Dumont 2R approach with much more precision now.

Adds even more of a sensation of speed on landing because everything pops out more going past.

I don't really understand how this would work...

I mean, in VR the perception of depth is just created thanks to the IPD. The FOV is physically determined by the headset specs. If one of these are set to a wrong value, your whole perception is flawed and does not match real world anymore, right ? So then, what's the trick here ?

The only thing I've noticed from this hack is eye strain. 

Yeah I've been struggling to understand what the fuss is about, to me it seems it's just a software IPD mod. I tried it for a few flights but didn't notice anything remarkable like in the YouTube comments, maybe it works differently on different headsets or something. 

Although what is good is that people are continuing to work on OpenXR Toolkit, which still remains a valuable tool for VR users. So even though it's been deserted by the author, the legacy lives on.

The mod works as it should.

You need to READ the directions as the depth adjuster is dependent on both in sim and OpenXR Toolkit world scale adjustments, FOV and independent user's personal IPD binocular overlap perception factors.

It's specifically for users who feel MSFS VR doesn't have enough depth/convergence and wanna push for higher L/R 3D image separation. 

It's similar logic the older Nvidia 3D Vision Tech depth/convergence hack contained years ago...it simply lets you push higher settings outside of the locked factors software/hardware devs deem suitable for the average VR user with the average IPD size.

It also compliments the OpenXR Toolkit's 3d light night time immersion visor feature very well, making night time take off and landings very immersive.

I've tried it on 3 headsets so far (G2 Reverb, Quest 3 and Rift S) and it works wonderfully!

I followed the direction in the video.

So just to clarify, I'm not saying it doesn't work. I'm saying that the claimed "enhancements" are actually downgrades.

I don't think that's how VR is implemented... IPD is implemented in two places: your headset and in the sim. If one of them doesn't match your actual IPD, you simply get an incorrect vision of the 3D world. You don't get a better or worse one, you get either a correct or an incorrect one.  Of course everybody is free to enjoy a warped vision of reality. I'm just a bit hesitant to call this "boost" or "enhancement".

I agree, you are simply inexperienced and don't understand how this enhancement mod works.

While also being inexperienced with how VR/IPD/World Scale/3D image separation binocular overlap work in general as well.

I see what you are trying to imply here, but please don't think that everybody here doesn't know a thing about VR (the actual word is not allowed on the forum ??? lol...). The way VR works by the principle of stereoscopic images, IPD etc... are all very clear to many people here 🙂

I got it working exactly right but as above there's no massive changes or mind-blowing difference, there's certainly something happening but as far as I'm concerned it wasn't worth the effort.

I have no problem with the depth of the VR image in MSFS so perhaps it's more noticeable on different HMDs.

I tried it out on my bsb2e.  Using 95% FOV, 8 on the 3d effect, and increased the World Scale to compensate.  I gotta say, I really like it a lot.  It's subtle enough to not cause any eye strain, but absolutely makes a difference...gives me a more "present" feeling.  Hard to explain, but I'm certainly sticking with it.

I was implying that there is no "trick, placebo effect, nor warped reality" about the particular modification.

Its a basic L/R 3D depth separation hack specifically for users who feel MSFS VR doesn't have enough depth/convergence.

Just because you don't like the way I've worded things doesn't make it any less factual.🙂
