There are headsets with a wider FOV horizontally like the Index for example,

That, and people should know you can read everything inside the cockpit with the Index too, it sounds as it is only possible with the new G2, it is way overrated 😄

i tested the G2 and it makes no sense to upgrade if you are coming from the Index.

But the price of the G2 is good for VR starters!

hehe very nice first experince 😁 you will fine tune it the next days i am sure.

VR is really special, i still cant play Alien Isolation on Steam for a longer time, its to scary,

you have to try this one day by yourself. It is a difference to sit in front of a monitor and feel safe

or to be inside the monitor in the VR world 😅

I couldn't care less as my G2 is stuck in customs at the moment so I probably wont get it until next week, so I can wait 🙂 

🙈

that's nothing new, that's how it is with us in real life every day, meeting deadlines is not easy, life goes on 😅

Being new to MSFS I am having difficulty with stutters.  With p3d and setting my monitor to 30hz I have an extremely smooth experience.  But I am having difficulty finding this smoothness with MSFS.  No matter what refresh rate I set or in game settings I get stutters.  What is everyone’s experience with this issue?

i made a short video for a friend with monitor to 30hz and ingame 60hz with vsync on, everthing on Ultra.

I dont fly this way, usualy standard 60fps and mainly VR. But this was to show him it is super fluid even at 30hz.

ps: Ignore the flying part, it was a test with a gamepad ! 😅

i can suggest you get a used "Kraken" cheap on ebay,

i love it, we just had to extend the basement a little and unfortunately the electricity bill has gone up 😂

As soon as I get it and try it I will post here and let you all know how it is.

Don't panic, the sharpness comes slowly with the settings, make sure that you don't necessarily start in KLAX at the beginning but on a simple small airport with a small machine that you can take off and land undisturbed.
I would leave clouds and texture and windshield effects at Ultra and as you say render scale at 100,
I don't have a G2 but a Valve Index but it will be similar.

And we have similar Hardware.

If you're expecting your VR headset to look as sharp and clear as your 2D monitor at the same resolution, you're in for a tremendous disappointment.

Despite not the sharpness, 2D does not give you the feeling in the belly when taking off or flying a steep turn,
the always present feeling where you are in space and not to mention the altitude estimation when landing.

But i really wanted to hear Ianrivaldosmith first VR experience.

installing from an original set of disks, ISO etc and then updating to the latest version online will actually take longer than just installing directly online.

Even though I have the DVD version I didn't install it with the discs, i had a MS Gamepass running that time and just entered the digital code and the installation started online, as long as i had the gamepass running I didn't even need the disc 1 inserted.

I bought it mostly for the included book, and to have the disks as a collectible 

same here, i like the real books!

And the Box fits here very nice too 😁

Please correct me but:  Don't you to have a disc spinning in the CD player the whole time to use MSFS?  (Most new PC rigs don't even include a CD player).

i copied disk1 to my SSD, and its now running in a virtual drive.

It works, dont need the real DVD anymore in a drive.

Hello, my G2 arrives tomorrow.

Please let us know how your first flight in VR was 😁

AF2 was my flagship simulator for demonstration flying in VR.
Very fast loading time and off you go, absolutely fluid.
But we only flew in/around LOWI Innsbruck Airport (Orbx version).
With that the graphics it looked good, but the rest of the world is dead and empty.

Its deinstalled now, MSFS2020 world just looks too awesome not only in VR.

i like most of them are VR addicted like me 😁

I dont think winds are overdone, in parts of europe we had/have strong winds right now, especially western france.

Is "What a wonderful world" music free ? Are we allowed to use it or should we pay to include it in our videos ?

usually you can use any music but you cant get money for your video (ie. for millions of clicks ect.)

Yes, I am spoiled. The  immersion drops with simple texture in cockpit. Lack of wear marks around most used switches. Different sound from each switch.  The sound is muffled when plugging in headset. The slight lag in instrument response. The rough run when leaning too much. Only visible by subtle vibration on panel, and rpm needle itself.

This the point of my thread - Please read heading again...

 

yes we want the ultimate realism in airplanes, people want also the ultimate realistic real world weather simulation.

Combining this two and looking back a few month i could not fly 90% of the time because just the bad weather 😂

but thats total realistic.

I think the clouds look absolutely stunning and a few grains here and there is minuscule compared to the clouds I had in XP11. Decades ahead. 

absolutely ! I dont know but in VR they look superb even very very close: https://youtu.be/A7dHx8EEvlg?t=116

i use Ultra (especially in VR), even in this a few month old video from me flying the Halloween Challenge

the clouds looking so great almost like a painting!

i have 1000h now what? 😁 /jk

Everyone has different expectations.
I've been very satisfied with VR since msfs came out,
I really don't need more, I fly GA 99% of the time.
and for that msfs is just fantastic.

South Germany (close to black forest) here, this was yesterday:

well it does not look this way in the game, more like 2cm snowfall,

but do we need this exact realism in a flightsim?

just one question, are you guys flying this airports on a daily or weekly base?

Since the sim came out i never flew one airfield twice (beside my home airport),

so much new to discover on each flight.
