Please add option not to show the visor borders in VR (post Oct 2025 update)

[nickos86]

Hi,

In VR the new visor is extremely annoying and causing nausea because it lags just a tiny bit while being in the peripheral vision. 

The shading effect is great though!

At least give us an option similar, to the show/hide Pilot Body. I had the same experience, exited the game, and promptly edited the visor file, to make the lens fully transparent.

To not show the borders? You mean when it’s flipped up?

I’m pretty sure that IRL you’d see the borders too, looking at what it looks like in external view.

please dont show the helmet borders or give us an option! like F-15E or M-2000C visor effect, which is SUPERB.

In addition it degrades performance in VR nearly about 1 ms MORE....

How did you do that? can you share which file or lines did you edited?

I am very happy with the current solution but if somebody wants an option I am fine with it if it's not changing the current one

Yes the current implementation is brilliant, just like in the Mirage F1 and new MiG-29, unlike the (better than nothing but fake) effects other modules with visors use (Mirage 2000, F-15E, MiG-21, OH-58). It’s what the community has been asking for for the last 7 years

Yes, please give an option to hide it. It is nauseating in VR

Can you please share how you made it transparent?

Why argue?! Just read the topic name. I've asked for the option for the user to decide on his own... I didn't ask to completely remove the current implementation.

For some the current implementation in VR makes the flight very unpleasant. Nothing to do with real life or whatever. PC and VR got limitations.

Yes that's fine: IRL there apparently were clear visors for the JHMC too. But the default pilot model is using the dark one.

How so? And which gamma are you using? For me, it is nauseating to *not* have it in VR, if you're using the default gamma 2.2.

I completely support this request.

For many VR users, the new visor borders cause discomfort, nausea, and even vomiting after a short period of use.

This is not a matter of realism or personal preference — it’s a health and accessibility issue, and should therefore be treated as a priority.

Please make it optional, just like the “Show Pilot Body” option. Players shouldn’t have to modify game files to protect their well-being.
