Oculus Quest 2 - Got it looking half decent

[Bader242]

I must have watched every You Tube video on OQ2 settings for DCS. I was pretty disillusioned shortly after Santa delivered my OQ2 but quite happy now.

What I’ve learned so far:

1. According to many, Ocullus app runs things pretty well these days. I have my device settings as 72hz and the slider one step off the furthest right position. I find cockpit text is clear and is marginally sharper than any resolution settings I tried in OTT and DCS.

2. The shimmering annoyed me but on closer inspection during all the FPS tests I did, it’s primarily the object shadows that shimmer (around trees, etc). I’ve therefore turned off Terrain Object Shadows and am finding it much improved. There’s quite an FPS boost too.

3. I have Visib Range on Medium. If you slide ‘Tree Visibility’ to max, it masks the ‘trees sprouting out of the ground in front of you’ characteristic of low and medium Visib Range settings.

4. I no longer use OTT having watched a few videos suggesting the advances in the Ocullus software this year have pretty much made OTT redundant. Don’t shoot the messenger but I tend to agree - I’ve personally not seen it add any value despite many different setting changes.

5. I enable sharpening in ODT.

6. My Nvidia Control Panel settings are default apart from MFAA enabled. This improved what shimmering remained for a very modest FPS hit. It kinda induces an MSAA x3 level if there was such a thing in DCS - a nice halfway house.

 

Hope the above points are of some use to those of you out there who, just like me, got a VR headset for Xmas and entered a whole new world of pain! My PC is an i7 11700 + RTX 3070.

Happy flying!

Thanks for the input, I spent 3 horrifying weeks recently with my O2.  Settled on using OTT but will try your Oc App setting and see.
