I'm 61 and have a similar flight sim rig, it pisses me off when younger UA-camrs etc assume you just stop gaming when you hit a certain age, I've been gaming for 50 years, seen ALL the innovations, graphical fidelity improves, but gameplay ability is key ✊ I DESTROY younger gamers in COD on a daily basis and always will 🤣

​@@David-fr9ve haha, good on you mate !

Hi, glad the video helped you out and have fun with the HF8. I know I do :)

Glad you liked that line. Sometimes, when I watch UA-cam videos, if feels like I am one of the very few content creators who does NOT own a 4090. Which to me is a little crazy as according to the steam hardware survey, the top 3 GPU's were 3060's and 4060's. And you have to go all the way down to place 29(!) before you see the 4090 appear with just 1.16% of the gaming population using one. My card, the 4070super, is in 18th place, with the 4070 at 11th. Now, I know that not every gamer is on steam, but still, with so many players, but still, to give advice on setting up a 4090 to the gamers out there, kinda feels like a Doom Player with all the cheat codes unlocked trying to help someone stuck in the base game. The advice is of course correct, but the limitations faced by the base game player are going to be wildly different. Rant over :) That being said, if I could afford a 4090...

@ my first card was a 2070 super. Man that’s card was a tried & true. Ran my flight sims quite well on VR. now I run a 4070ti. I love it. Ohh,, btw I followed your settings to the T on LMU with steamVR resolution to 150. Absolutely superb.

You can do, or you can use the blackboxes for whatever you feel works for you (like tuning the FFB, which I don't think is anywhere in these overlays), and combine it with the iOvleray stuff. Choice is yours.

I am afraid I don't know as I haven't tried it, but I think that iOverlay is specific to iRacing. However, they do have their own discord channel, might be worth popping in there and asking.

In the options menu of AMS2, you should be able to find an entry called Edit HUD. Go there and see what options you like. I think there is also a shortcut you can enable to simply toggle hud on and off, but I haven't used the HUD in AMS2 for a while, so I am not 100% sure.

@OlderGamersPerspective thanks 😊

Possibly, depends really on the strength of your system. You will have to lower some of the settings, and probably only use 72Hz, but in theory, it should work. Just not to the same level of detail.

I don't know, as I no longer have an Xbox. Best bet would be to pop into the NLR discord channel, and ask there.

Hi, it's certainly something I want to look into in the future, but currently I don't have a dedicated router to handle Virtual Desktop (mine is 5G), but once I have that in place, at some point in the future, I will look at this again. Until then, my optimisation guides will have to recommend cable connection.

I don't use super sampling myself, I prefer to use the Oculus Debug tool to increase the Encode rate to 450. This I find makes a big difference to the visual quality. Have you tried that instead of SS? If you do, make sure you reset SS to defaults.

Hi, thank you for commenting. Yes, I have tried this in the past and found that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I think the most reliable way to turn of ASW is to use the open XR toolkit and set Turbo to ON, this seems to disable it the best, but it still can return from the dead.

@@OlderGamersPerspective I've always found this works 100% with all my oculus/meta headsets, since Rift cv1. Also, all my sim buddies use this all the time. Your issue could be caused by a faulty/dirty keyboard I guess. Either that, or if you're like me, Fat Typo Fingers, lol! Since upgrading my PC to a i913900k/rtx4090 I haven't found OpenXR Toolkit is necessary anymore. Fewer the in-between apps the better imho. Lots of ways to skin the same cat, So, whatever works best for you is great imho.

How are you connecting to your PC? With the Meta app or via Virtual desktop?

In which ever sim you are using, look for a Recentre VR command in one of the options menus, and bind a button on your wheel to that command. Once in the sim, and in the car, and staring straight ahead, press that button and you should then be centred in your car.

Thank you for the feedback :) In the graphics tab, right at the bottom of the Visuals tab, is a setting called Lock to Horizon, which I have set to high. Try this.

Thank you :)

Thank you for the feedback, I will add your request to my ideas list of videos to be created :)

Yep, the FOV reduction will gain you some performance, and having a beefy system also helps :) Sadly the 4090 is beyond my budget, as it is for a number of people. But the FOV trick is a good one for people who are on border line systems and finding it difficult to maintain a stable frame rate at any Hz rate.

It's great isn't it? Put's iRacing to shame, even the new one they are advertising on the iRacing dev blog doesn't look this good in VR.

I think most HUDS will display in this space, and not VR space.

Yes indeed. I find 72Hz to be the most reliable, but a lot of people want 90Hz, so I try to figure out the settings for 90Hz, although I do mention that 72Hz is less strain on most systems, in VR.

The 4060 ti will probably struggle at these graphical settings, but if you lower some of the settings, you should be able to run most sims.

@@OlderGamersPerspective Thanks for the answer, I will do it in terms of graphics and I will try, thanks and happy new year ^^

@@Lito_Sanchez Best of luck, and if you hit problems, come visit our discord group - discord.gg/zKhmz8eN

@@OlderGamersPerspective Thanks, I'll do that ^^

Hey, glad you found the video helpful :)

Yeah, they don't look very pretty, but I am working now on improving this with the Oculus debug tool and restricting the amount of pixels the headset needs to render. I'll be doing a video on this once LMU releases.

Are you accessing iRacing through the standalone UI or via Steam?

I use standalone UI

@@DaLuta29 This is probably a longer conversation that is going to be possible here on UA-cam, so can you do me a favour and pop over to my Discord channel? discord.gg/xryPj356 Once there, look for the VR Tech help section and post your issue again there. Either myself or one of the other members will try to solve this issue for you.

@@OlderGamersPerspective sorry for the late response, but i would love to. could you send the invite again? it expired for me. Thanks!

@@DaLuta29 discord.gg/zKhmz8eN there you go :)

I didn't notice the dullness of the display, but perhaps you could play with the scale option for the VR HUD?

I don't believe I did any foveated rendering tests on this particular video, but I have others where I looked deeper into that subject.

Yes, that can be a struggle to move between the various display options. I think there are various tools you can use to load in Presets, but I haven't tested them yet.

Still rocking a 1080? Wow, that is so cool, well done. Glad the settings were helpful to you :)

That's a complex and long question, so you would be better popping over to the discord channel that supports these videos and asking again there - discord.gg/xryPj356 Post in the VR Tech help section and either myself or one of the other members will attempt to help you. Hope to see you there.

@ I totally will pop in. Thank you

Hey, glad you liked the video and enjoyed the humour. Thank you for taking the time to comment :)

@OlderGamersPerspective no worries, I followed your video and now have the perfect overlays. Such a brilliant tutorial. Top man

Yes please. Be great to see your settings. I've always kept the slider far over to the right to reduce barrel distortion. You dont see this at your preferred setting? Also, do you find FSAA visually better?

Hi, sorry to hear about your issues. Are you connected via a USB hub? That can be an issue. If not, check in Device Manager, in Windows, that Power Saving is turned off for All USB hubs. I've been using the Quest 3 fairly often, and for some longer races, and not seen this issue so far, but if you cannot solve the problem, jump over my Discord channel and post the same question in the VR tech help section of that channel. discord.gg/xryPj356

@ no USB hub, I’ll check device manager. I’ve often had issues where it’s reluctant to connect via the Link cable, but never disconnects until this latest update they’ve done. I’ve had three in the last 8 races or so. Plugged into the appropriate USB port of my computer and a cable that meets the specifications. I’ll pop over to your discord

@@guitartube5822 I also have the Quest 3 and since the update, it is impossible for me to connect in USB while it worked very well before, Meta said that there was a bug with the latest update on quest 2/3/3s which made some headsets unusable, they are working on a fix

For the 7800xt I would start on Low settings, MSAA x2, and then gradually increase the various settings to see what your card can achieve. Let me know how you get on.

Hi, I do not have triple screens so I have never seen this problem, but I know a few people on my Discord group do have triples, and also VR, so they might be able to help you. Pop over to - discord.gg/xryPj356 and ask the question again in the VR tech help section of that discord channel.

@OlderGamersPerspective thanks!

That is a tough question, and it depends really on what your PC is capable of displaying. If you can get Ultra settings in LMU to work, then LMU beats AMS2, but if you can only get Medium, or a modified Medium settings, as I have show here, then I think its a draw, with AMS2 being about the same, although possibly LMU might be a bit better. It is a very subjective subject. Although, on balance, personally, I prefer the Force Feedback and in general, the vehicle handling of LMU. Hope this helps.

Absolutely, it's on my To-Do list and I will hopefully get to it soon in 2025.

Hi, this looks like a longer conversation than is practical on youtube, so if you have time, please pop over to the discord channel that supports this channel and write about your problems in the VR tech help section of that channel. Either myself or one of the other members will attempt to help you out..

Will check it out at some point now Xmas day over here in New Zealand

most of us have that issue, i have a g pro.. i turned of sustained ffb and just turned up the ffb a lil as it was way to heavy on fast turns and didnt help the issues.. doesn't motion smoothing cause the fps to drop to half as soon as it doesn't hit its target, not sure why you would use it

I have sent you a discord invite in your other comment, so we can talk about this issue in a little more depth. Hope to see you there.

I force motion smoothing on so it is always at 45fps which I find ok. If I just have it set to kick in when fps falls below ,90 I get stutters etc in transition. I can't maintain 90 fps on most tracks without having most settings on low

@@juliantaylor1126 Did you try 72Hz?

the fov multiplier in the Oculus Debug Tool? I have used that in the past, but I prefer the version you can implement in OpenXR Toolkit. But yeah, it is a great tip, and people will gain FPS using it. The reason I didn't use it here is because I wanted to show what the out-of-the-box experience is for LMU. When they do a final release of this sim, hopefully soon, I will do a deeper dive into the graphical settings and that for sure will include FOV multiplier.

Yes, I have seen that blurry blob stuff myself, more when I use Open XR than when I connect via the Oculus option in iRacing. Unfortunately, the limitations of my own system means I cannot turn up the Encode bit rate beyond 450, otherwise I get an audio glitch that causes my system to stutter at random points in the track. HDR I have never turned on as it's said to be an FPS killer, but it is something I intend to test in 2025. Glad you found the guide useful for the other stuff, and if you want to chat more about VR stuff, or sim racing in general, pop over the discord channel that supports these videos - discord.gg/4Y5gPQZk

Thank you for the tip, I was worried that if I turned this down too low it would cause the Ai to be uncompetitive, but it's certainly something I will try in the future.

That's a good point, I'll have to turn that off and see if it gives me any more performance headroom. Has to be said though, I did get used to using it, although I realise in the video it's not very visible, in VR it does actually show very nicely

@OlderGamersPerspective also cut vertical fov

@@flexiefect in the oculus debug tool?

@@OlderGamersPerspective yes or OTT

@@flexiefect Oculus Tray Tool crashes on my system, so I have not used it in a while. I did use it a lot when I had the Rift and played a lot of Elite Dangerous.

Great to hear that. LMU really is becoming one of the best VR titles out there, for features, and for graphics.

i actully have worse performance with AC1, less cpu overhead which also spikes and some times becomes cp u bound.. this is in part the mod cars and tracks that lfm uses but its mostly due to the age of the game and how it uses modern cpus.. in lmu i have 40 % cpu overhead with a 5700x3d, should probably turn up shadows lol

This could be an issue with how you have the headset centred over your eyes, or possibly you might need inserts. For me, sure, the quality of VR is nothing like a good monitor will show you, but I just love the immersion that VR offers. Sims, on track, or in the air, or in space, make a lot more sense to me in VR. In fact Elite Dangerous (a game I have played over the decades on many different computers) was not much fun at all until I got a Oculus Rift (and of course updated my graphics card), and then it was like.... Wow. How huge are those space stations. Racing was a similar story to me. I just couldn't get used to using a button to look left or right, but as soon as I raced in a VR headset (again the rift), it all started to make sense. But I can understand your point of view. The amount of sodding around you need to do with VR can be frustrating, especially when you have it working fine, and someone like iRacing changes stuff, and suddenly you need to start again with bench marks to sort out an optimal setting. For me, it will probably always be VR, but I have been using VR now for so long (coming up on what.... ten years next year?) that I think I am a lost cause when it comes to going back to a monitor.

Couldnt agree more. Started with VR only 6 months ago or so, but yeah there's no going back. Couldnt get EA WRC working in VR so I tried it on the monitor but it just didnt feel right anymore.

@@rolanddo4989 yes, VR is like a gateway drug towards an addiction to constantly finding the right settings, but.... VR is so cool, you still want to do it :)
