Easy to be cynical hey! Me too right but be awesome if there’s some truth to this.

Anyone know anything objective on this new combat sim?: https://www.trackwhilescan.com/

https://www.roadtovr.com/unreal-engine-5-release-nanite-lumen-vr/ On further investigation, perhaps not quite the wow that I first thought. I am all in with VR but real progress is a slow and grinding road.

Wow, that is next level!

I am not aware, I have just set the time of day as Dusk, that is all.

Ok, thanks. ORBX have shown me that they have different looking lighting at NZQN.

So the issue is the white runway edge lights, they are a spiderweb shape sitting at 90 degrees to the runway surface and are supposed to be the same appearance as the red papi lights in the background. It's only NZQN that does this for me. I tried as you suggested, first reducing bloom (from 0.44 to something less, then nothing) that didn't work. Then I tried leaving it at zero and switching off HDR, obviously I restarted the sim with those settings. It didn't work, but thanks for trying.

I have a problem that appears to be unique to ORBX NZQN add on. I contacted ORBX but they just suggested deleting the shaders folder, only problem is that I don't use any shaders and in any case it didn't work. Anyone have any experience with this?

Not at home right now but from memory OpenXR is an incorporated function. If you want to adjust settings such as resolution and reprojection you need to download OpenXR developers tool, this gives you access to the intrinsic functions of OpenXR.

Hi All, I have looked everywhere without success to try to find a clear explanation of what tomato shader is? There is a million explanations as to how to install it on P3D but given that I fly in VR only and am not that interested in taking a massive performance hit for an eye candy tweak, I would like to know more about it and whether it may be worth having a look at. Does anyone have a good layperson's explanation. FWIW, I am referring to FS Labs A320 with P3D V5.3 with a high end rig in VR.

Thanks X_man, that's a great article to read. I do plan to overclock, I tend to do it with the Overclock Genie which, on my current setup allows me to OC to 4.8GHz and switch on XMP 'for free' and seems to work a treat. I can't really be bothered doing all that other type of overclocking tbh but as I approach a new CPU I will be sure to take into account the VRM. Thanks.

Thanks for the response, I am doing this with a view to practicing formation for DCS without trying to constantly look for partners (that know what they're doing and don't constantly fly in the kill box) to fly with so the first option is out thanks @Rob_Ainscough and I have today been looking at this option albeit discussed on the P3D forums back in 2014: http://prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=93170 It would seem that there is a way to do the using simdirector. If I can do it this way internally, rather than going to a third party app that would be preferable as I am trying to do some more formation in VR and using addon software of doubtful compatibility while in VR is perhaps problematic. I'll see if I can do it with simdirector first and then look elsewhere should that fail thanks, @eldar2112 and @kevinfirth I'll report back if I have some success.

I am struggling to find a way that I may record my own flight in something like to LM fictional TTA military trainer and then replay that recording while I fly alongside the recording another spawn of the same aircraft type. I am looking to use this for some formation practice in VR but many internet searches and queries have left me unsure. I am aware of some of the flight recording add-ons out there in this and other platforms but their visual performance while flying alongside seems to have some questions yet to be answered.

Forgive my ignorance but I thought VRM was memory on the GPU itself, are you referring to voltage regulator module when say that motherboard VRM matters?

@787flyer Hi Mark, Thank you so much for the very detailed response. I imagine we will get some more info soon enough, I have been toying with the idea of moving over to the 11th Gen but I am reasonably happy with the performance I have so far so that’s why I’m considering waiting for the 12th Gen. In terms of the costs of upgrading other components such as the motherboard and power unit, I can appreciate that this will always be a big leap particularly with Intel only covering what seems to two generations of CPU per motherboard. I’m going to upgrade at some point though, I’m banking on there being a material gain in latency, frame time or settings available at some point and it’s hard to imagine that these 7nm chips will not be the way forward but I will wait as you suggest….with baited breath.
