RolandLoop Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) First post, so I'm bound to have broken some sort of protocol - my apologies if I have, please point me in the right direction I'm running a Samsung Odyssey +, on i7-7700HQ, 1080Ti, 32MB, SSD. Followed all the usual performance and anti-stutter advice on here and the web. I'm pretty happy with the immersion, running at 150% SteamVR with high textures and cockpit at 1024. I get about 35-45 fps in single player. [edit Motion Smoothing is OFF] However, I really struggle to read the MFD in the AV8B, even when using the VR Zoom bind that usually clears up any clarity issues with other aircraft. I'm sure VR Spyglass zoom would be perfect, but I just don't have any spare HOTAS buttons available. Do others have this experience and have any suggestions about which settings can give clarity reading the small green characters on the MFD? Edited February 13, 2022 by RolandLoop Add in another setting that may be useful
Mr_sukebe Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 A couple of things to try: - play with the brightness and contrast controls for the MFDs. Time of day, cloud and other lighting in the environment makes a difference to readability - In the harrier you can change the colour of the txt on the MFDs. In normal daylight, I usually find the red suits me, but there’s a number of other colours available 1 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat
Brainfreeze Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 The EHSD map is always quite difficult to read in VR on the av8b. I tend to just turn the brightness knob down, sometimes also use the night setting. The map is just too bright on it 1 i9 14900K / 64GB / RTX 4090 / Varjo Aero / Winwing Orion2 + F15EX / Virpil Wrbrd + Alpha Stick + ACE pedals
RolandLoop Posted February 14, 2022 Author Posted February 14, 2022 Thanks both! With VR I always assume it's something I've not done right in the settings but never considered the Harrier itself! The Contrast & Brightness are Max on a hot start, and taking these down to about half I could read the lettering on a black background screen, and even read the lettering over the map with appropriate contrast tweaks! I didn't find a way to switch the lettering to red through. I thought that might be day/night mode, but night mode just seemed blank in daytime with everything turned up and I hunted through the controls and couldn't find that. But in any case - thanks - worked perfectly
RolandLoop Posted February 14, 2022 Author Posted February 14, 2022 Quick search and the colour changing looks simple. From the map, hit MPAM on the left hand side and then cycle through colours using the COLOR button just right of bottom. https://twitter.com/RAZBAM/status/1316420322959282177 I'll give that a go next time I'm in the air!
PhoenixRising Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 The first thing I always do in the Harrier and the Hornet is turn off the off the map and just use the HSI on a black background. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G using Tapatalk
Topo Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Personally I found it more readable by uninstalling all mods (reshade, vrperf, fssr etc...), with msaa 2x.
