I'm really digging VectorXR.  Especially the new release.  https://github.com/DienerTech/vectorxr 

No issues with my Varjo Aero.

Pivot is working just like XRNeckSafer.  I'm using the depth to tinker with the world size.  My cockpit seems a little bigger.  Haven't mucked with sharpening as of yet, (I'll do that with Quads in the other sims)

I do have the grass turned off, plus the internal light thingy is off too.  (can't remember the exact name).  Landscape at 3x

Does VectorXR offer a CAS/NiS image sharpness option or not yet still? I like that option in VR. I'm not talking about QV, but rather sharpening the entire image.

I fly with Distant Landscape Detail x4, but that doesn't mean everything is sharp, the distance is fine, and everything would be fine if all texture types worked at that distance. Unfortunately, there are sometimes "patches/fileds" much closer that, for some reason, are still blurry, even though the ones further away are sharp. I can't explain it. If you turn on the zoom, they sharpen, but if you pull back, they're still blurry, so x4 also needs improvement, although here it looks quite okay. I didn't notice any significant difference in the performance of x2 and x4 in VR, so I'm using x4.

I think LOD  textures changing are linked to changing the FOV and it is to aggressive right now. You can have gauges textures clear or  blurred just by changing FOV inside the  cockpit. LoD  should be changing by distance to the  object not to the FOV especially not in that close distance - plane gauges. I understand distant terrain or objects- few km away but not in the cockpit. There is a difference in textures quality between 120 FOV vs 90 inside the cockpit...

LoD= level of display, is linked to zoom, obviously: you use binoculars, you see more details at that distance

FoV is more like how further you stick your head forward, and that makes only the dashboard more clear (you get closer to it), but it won't change range texture details. So, yes, changing fov and thus bringing your head closer to the needles shoud make them more clear.

Same change for an object far, far away (star wars? 🙂 ) wouldn't matter.

They seem linked, but imho, they are not: still, if you put on some binoculars your FoV will decrease alot, since your vision is focused on a much narrower area. 

It's like in sniper games, actually.

Not exactly,FOV is a zoom in the game  because you can move (independently of FOV) your virtual body closer or further to the dashboard in the plane seat as lean forward or backwards in Z axis to see better yours gauges or switches.

@AndreiTomescu hold numpad 5 and move your body by Insert/delete/home/end/pageup/pagedown - two of them are for lean forward, backward. This also can be done with trackIR with Z axis or in VR by moving head forward and backward.

yes, indeed. myself using trackir, never done that since the age of 1946. but does this ...change in the seat superpose over changing FoV ? hmmm.... will try. Thank you!

Not over the fov just a way to move inside cockpit. It can get you close to gauges ,  changing - decreasing FOV is quicker and more easy.

When you're in the hangar with the plane, everything looks unrealistically huge. Is it like that for everyone? Is this fixable? Also, during loading, if you turn your head, the image doubles — but after loading into the cockpit, this issue is gone.

The model in the hangar, the pilot, and the weapons are quite large, and you're looking at it up close, as you described. However, in-game, everything is too small, creating the effect of Shrek's head in a small plane cockpit. Unfortunately, IPD plus and minus in OpenXR don't work on the IL-2 Korea, so you can't adjust them properly in-game (the menu isn't a problem for me; I care more about what I see in-game). You should use external tools that improve this. We're waiting for a patch. This has already been reported.

С моим Varjo Aero проблем нет.

Функция Pivot работает точно так же, как XRNeckSafer. Я использую глубину для настройки размера мира. Моя кабина кажется немного больше. Пока не экспериментировал с резкостью (сделаю это с Quads в других симуляторах).

У меня отключена подсветка газона, а также внутренняя подсветка (точное название не помню). Настройки ландшафта: 3x.

Как в VectorXR менять масштаб мира? У меня установлена эта штука но как менять масштаб мира не смог разобраться.. подскажи пожалуйста  где в VectorXR  менять масштаб мира! Спасибо за ранее!!

You should try Stereo Depth and Convergence, but I'll admit, it's not the same as World Scale / IPD. You'll have to wait for a patch from #1CGS to fix it.

You can read more about ths tool here:

The in built IPD + and - was never meant for world scaling in IL-2 either, it was a fix for the cross eyed horizontal effects certain headsets suffered in game back a few years ago making it unplayable on many popular headsets.  The Hp G-2's and older Vives early on were notorious for suffering mismatch cross eye in the horizontal causing bad eyestrain, some of those sets were unable to get accurate horizontal alignment data direct from the game, so the developers put that tool in to allow the user to adjust it themselves.   With time most of those headsets were patched and updated, so the tool sort of fell to the wayside. 

If your waiting for it to be fixed for any sort of scaling effect, don't hold your breath, because it never had that kind of a function.

That's right. We actually have a "real" World scale in MSFS only, but it's also worth noting that IPD in DCS and IL-2 BoX also produces this effect or at least that's the impression. 👍

IL2 BOX never produced that scaling effect for any of the four headset I've used in it.  OpenXR toolkit was the fix, but it's obsolete in any other game.

It works 100% because I use it in my Quests. It's strange that it didn't work for you, since many people write that this is what they used to scale the image:

It worked for that in my BOX with both the Crystal and Super.

[YoYo]

It seems you didn't understand 🤔 or only read part of it, but since you're referring to the whole thing, read the whole thing. It works 100%; I use it myself with success. I use Open Composit there (OXR).

It's working fine without steam VR, I don't have installed  streamVR or meta horizon software on my PC and can play Korea in VR - just Virtual Desktop and VDXR runtime selected in PC streamer app.

Yesterday, I found an 'anomaly' with the Korea engine.

If I switch the general graphics setting to 'VR optimised', I get more FPS in native resolution than with DLSS or FSR scaling. It's totally crazy and makes no sense. With this, I managed to get over 50-60 FPS at a VR resolution of 4400x5100 pixels per eye.

I'm also using smart smoothing (90/45 FPS) and it doesn't look too bad. The image is generally too sharp, and to be clear, I'm still not satisfied with how unoptimized Korea VR is, but at least I can experiment like this.

PS: hardware Nvidia 4090, i14600, 32 Ram, Pimax Crystal OG

Never did for me either. Just made thibgs blurry or crosseyed!

[FlightBud]

I’m considering upgrading from a 13900k to a 9800X3D and trying to get a sense for what performance improvement I may be able to expect to see if it’s worth it. The rest of my specs are 4090 / DDR 6000 / 990 pro SSD / Pimax Crystal Light.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know the game is still not optimized but I believe I will be limited no matter what, and there’s no way I’m paying to upgrade to a 5090.

[MajorMagee]

Sorry, but I don't believe that you will realize any improvement in performance by the IL2Series with that change.

For me:

When IPD changes(Shift+num+/Shift+num-), the numbers on the screen change, but the cabin itself does not change size

Thanks. I thought that since the game was CPU limited, and since AMD has better single thread performance than intel, I should experience some performance improvements. But if that’s not the case good to know.

Also because most people seem to swear by AMD and most gaming PC builds favor AMD.
