WOW, thats what im looking for! Awesome video, very helpfull, nice easy tweaks, woks perfect for me on my Ryzen 5 3600 / GTX 1080! Perfect!!!! Thanks and greetings from germany!
I just bought this game today and i got so angry when i saw all lagging with a fkin gtx 1080, thanks for the video, i'll try this and let u know what changed for me!
Holy crap! The 3jFPS thing boosted my fps (im on the same specs as you) from around 50 to 100! I'm running some quality improvement things so this is damn better. Thank's for the tips!
wow. bit pricey... it was down to $300 around xmas here in usa. rift is great balance of price and quality, especially since it includes touch controllers. prices will continue to drop.
Great tutorial! I see this is a little dated by the time I seen it. Do you still use this script? I know now there is the OVR and Twik. Do you use them all or do they conflict with each other? My 3060TI rocks in 2D, but VR I feel sucks! The immersion is great, but the clarity has a LONG way to go IMO.
Absolutely awesome video mate, set my Rift up beautifully. I new there was a way of getting the graphics better just didn't know how. thankyou for your help. looking forward to watching more of your stuff on VR. it truely is the only way to fltsim :)
so glad I could help you! New videos soon. I've been working on an airport recently. Next video will have some on that including my idea building airports for VR
@@jasonemery8375 In my next video (hopefully recording this weekend) I'm showing what I've worked on and learned but not how to do it. I could make tons of videos on that. documentation and examples are scarce for the editor and modifying the game. also I post up progress on my twitter @rav3nblack . I should get more of this info on my socials out ;)
This setup is amazing! Running ultra smooth with Ocolus Quest via Virtual Desktop. Im having a i6500, gtx1070 and 16gb ram. Never thought i would get such a high fpm. I even get 50. Maybe with some tweaking i can get more. Thanks!!!
nice, im in the process of setting my quest up. What super sampling did oyu go with? I have a gtx1060 with a Ryzen5 2500. 16ram. having some issues with getting into xplane vr..sometimes it works and sometimes its hard. I also use Virtual desktop. What is your process to launching xplane? Thanks
@@robertodebandito6809 , first I must say that the effect of the Oculus Tray Tool doesn’t work with the Quest. So, supersampling and asw will not have any effect unfortunately. You can still supersample in SteamVr if you like. I still have to experiment with that myself. You will get the most effect with the 3jfps tool in xplane itself. Instead of limiting the frame rate to 45 and 46 as in the the video, set it up to 70. It might be that you won’t get as high because it depends on your pc hardware, CPU and GPU. But this tool can crank your fps up. Then you have to play with the settings in xplane, like explained in the video. To view in vr, you first start up virtual desktop. Then open xplane from steam vr or directly from the exe file in your stream apps folder. Once xplane is running you have to select vr mode in xplane. First you will see the movement of your head in 2d desktop mode on your computer screen and headset. Then go to the virtual desktop menu and select , “ see in vr” or “open vr” or something like that and you will have full vr view in your headset. Also make sure you use the wifi router in 5GHz if your router can send at this frequency.
@@Visser2800 thanks for the detailed reply. I spent most of today doing test and it only made it worse. So maybe i will try the higher fps. I wish i could get clearer text int eh cockpit. But i fear that is not possible. Yes my router is only 2.4ghz...I will try the settings within steam vr. I also received a (known to work) anker cable to have the quest wired to pc, but when i select ok first the first pop up window once i plug the headset in i get the loading orbs and it never goes away. have to do some more testing. wondering if i should of got the rift s vs the quest...
@@robertodebandito6809 , sorry to hear that your fps got worse. I get 45 to 55 fps depending on the airport and aircraft I choose. Not huge, but playable. Small airports are better though. Logic, because there is less to render. Set world objects to low. That helps a lot. I’m not sure, but I think your 1060 isn’t strong enough for Link, with the cable. You should check the minimum requirements for Link. I thought it required at least a 1070. Virtual desktop also compresses the images, so it outputs less details. The instruments on xplane are really small. I also can’t read them very well from the normal seating position. Sometimes you have to lean over to check the numbers. Try an airplane with big gauges. Did you already try alvr? This can output more resolution then virtual desktop. Maybe you will have to invest in a new gpu. Now people sell there old 1080 for reasonable prices second hand. And you really need a router with 5GHz. I haven’t used the rift s, so I cant really compare. But I assume with your setup, it would have been a better choice. You loose portability though. Maybe you can still exchange it? All in all, xplane isn’t the most ideal program for vr. It is very demanding and from what i read, it uses 1 core from your cpu, even if you have multicores. So a single core 4GHz cpu will work better than a 3,5 GHz multicore. Yes, I know. Xplane will never be straight forward with its vr setup. There are too many parameters that will change every new flight you choose. Tweaking it every new flight is the message. I hope you sort it out somehow. Good luck
To see buttons and text that can be hard to read, you can use the zoom in button which I believe is the X button on the touch controllers which will zoom in to see better
You sound like another UA-camr, he makes World of Warcraft videos. You wouldn't happen to be "MadSeasonShow"? Awesome tutorial, works perfectly on my PC (i7 2600k OC to 4.8Ghz + GTX 1080).
Great video. Can’t wait to try this stuff out. I see you use the controllers to manipulate the yoke. When I do this the yoke jumps around, jittery. Also do you use the controllers to adjust radio frequencies etc.....dial ? I find them to be very sensitive. When I release the trigger the frequency jumps up or down. I am looking for a way to adjust the sensitivity. I’ll check out your other stuff too. Thanks again
yeah they are a bit touchy. I just got use to all of it over time. But... there is no flight sim I have found where every dial and every switch works. It's an amazing feat imo. My next video I have planned when I finally get time will be showing my setup and how I fly from hardware and where I sit to how my pc is setup even for streaming X-Plane VR. I think for some this may be helpful. Thanks for watching!
Great video!! Thank you soooooo much!! I have about the same computer as you and I have been struggling with my Oculus and was about to give it up. You've given me hope!
I assume if you have a yoke and throttle quadrant, you could put the hand controllers down and use the yoke and throttle instead? Once you get going with the flight. Also, can you start in VR with engines already running?
Yes you can start x-plane with engines running. Putting down the controllers makes it so you cannot press any buttons in the cockpit. So having to pick it back up to manipulate things in the cockpit is key
Hi Great Video. I have the newest Alienware 51, RTX 2080 card and a new Oculus ryft s. Cant seem to get the VR to work with XPlane. Do you bypass the Oculus Home program with the three files you loaded? Thanks in advance.
no just be careful what opens you turn on. for example reflections should always be off. you'll still get reflections, the slider just makes pc run slow. I have a 2020 version of that video. should check that out!
As in what all the buttons do in each plane. since a lot of the planes I fly are 3rd party there is no tutorial, but some come with directions, and some of the buttons/dials/switches are the same across real planes they just usually arnt in the same spot in each plane. I learn how to fly them by watching real pilots of these planes/research
Yip brilliant, this has answered a lot of things for me, don't vene need the hardware I have, your confidence around the cockpit makes air sick ;) One question when I come into VR there is a menu in my face, how the dickens do I get rid of it? (Very new to all of this and the Oculus)
Interesting video...... Currently trying to setup reverbv2 for xp11- how are u using ASW or WMR equivalent - read somewhere you can enable by adding some lines to WMR .cfg file?
Very good video, excellent. This has come at just the right time for me as I have an almost identical system with a Rift S, even the same graphics card. I only started to try VR yesterday so this tutorial is really helpful. Just a couple of quick questions. I notice you manage to adjust instruments, knobs and switches using the Rift controllers. I cannot seem to manage that at all. I get the green laser pointer thing but thats all, it doesn't seem to activate any controls. I have resorted to using mouse (trackball) control for now. I also have a joystick (VKB) which I have been using for pitch,roll and throttle with rudder pedals for yaw. I would like to stop the Rift controllers trying to control the yoke but still have them controlling switches etc. Thats if I can work out how to get that working as mentioned above. I notice you use the Rift controllers to fly with. Do you find in better, more realistic than using a stick or yoke? What I will find very useful is the ability to go between VR and 2D screen for those occasions when you have a long flight. VR is most useful in the beginning and end phases whereas a 2d monitor lets you monitor and control a long flight as well as do other things. Subscribed. Will now go and watch your other videos. I look forward to more like this in the future.
Thanks for the sub! I will answer your questions in a bit as I need to look up some setting names, and I'm not in front of Xplane at the moment ;) I plan on doing a video on how I use X-Plane with a camera on myself and my physical setup so people can see and make sense of it soon.
For manipulating switches and dials. hold the controller (rift controller) up to a switch or dial. it should highlight green. Click the trigger or hold trigger to manipulate that switch or dial.
@@RavenSimulations Still not sure if I am doing it right but I only get the green highlight if I pull the trigger thentry and manipulate while holding the trigger. The dials are not too bad but the Batt and Alternator switches on the C172 are almost impossible to switch using this method. I think I need to play around with it a bit more.
I have really only flown GA aircraft. I can read the dials and gauges just fine in these planes. Plus if you press and hold X on the left touch controller it zooms in so you can get a better look
How many FPS do you guys get? I have I7 4790k geköpft runs with 4.5 Ghz 32 GB DDR 3 Ram, GTX 1080 Ti. I have simheaven objects in Ortho4XP tiles Zoomlevel 17 i only getting 15 FPS on ground in VR in Hamburg EDDH. Can anyone help? Maybe wrong overclocking? I use OVR Tool snd 3jfps to minimum. Even graphics in settings Xplane11 HDR , maximum , FXAA, detail medium, no shadows, no reflection. I am very sad maybe someone can help me getting more fps. Greetings from 🇩🇪
Turn hdr maximum down to high, also there is a program on xplane.org called ovr or something along them lines, it allows you to force 30fps with asw on, will help alot with smoothness
Can anyone tell me if im better using x plane through Steam or stand alone? As my graphics are not doing very well at the mo but i only just got everything so not sure if iv got all my settings right. Im using RTX 2060 super

The Rift costs close to $ 1000.00 in Brazil
for us it has to be with Samsung or Motorola cell phone.
wow. bit pricey... it was down to $300 around xmas here in usa. rift is great balance of price and quality, especially since it includes touch controllers. prices will continue to drop.
Superb video showing this set up for vr. I just got mine today and this information
was very helpful. Thanks.
You are very welcome. Its a bit daunting to initially setup, but once you get it all working, you won't want to fly any other way.
Great tutorial! I see this is a little dated by the time I seen it. Do you still use this script? I know now there is the OVR and Twik. Do you use them all or do they conflict with each other? My 3060TI rocks in 2D, but VR I feel sucks! The immersion is great, but the clarity has a LONG way to go IMO.
I mainly just use VMI twick. I just ordered a Oculus Quest 2. Will have updated videos on that soon.

VR provides good depth perception.Basically a goggle that gives you a 360 degree thinking you're there.Still feels false imo
which vr headset and programs have you tried?
Vr is just to fyzzy for my taste! noting beats my hig end monitor.
try out super sampling. can really sharpen things up. Shown in this video - ua-cam.com/video/GlxLjyLjnk4/v-deo.html
