That is because using Supersampling information gets merged and hence lost. The result is that an aircraft at 15km range may be less than a (few) subpixels in size and is consumed by the sky around the subpixel. Supersampling too high makes aircrafts invisible as a result. But we cannot fly completely without it, as distortion profiles and sweetspot depend on it. Drop it too low, and the outer edges of your vision get more blurry. ### Golden Rules ### Spoiler - 90Hz and a steady framerate help spotting and gunnery more than any other setting. - Don't run your headset 1:1 at its physical resolution, it requires a bit more for the distortion profile, around 1.3x minimum. - These settings are meant for the average computer. - You want a static picture, to spot moving objects against that. This is why landscape filter is "blurry" and shadows are either "Extreme" or "Off" (they flicker). - HDR enabled + HQ clouds + heavy clouds on map + high resolution (Reverbs) = engine grinding to a halt even on RTX3090. So I'm running with HDR disabled now. - Keep the gamma at 0.8000 or even 0.7000, which makes far distant aircrafts as dark as possible - they are usually black dots. - Look into one direction and hold your head steady - notice any "bugs" moving around? That can be a bandit. - Check your six for SCG. ### SteamVR settings ### Spoiler Go to the SteamVR settings, enable "Advanced Settings". 1) General: Keep Global Resolution at 100%. 2) Video: Keep Global Resolution at 100%. >>> Video Setting Per Application: Press it and look for IL-2 Great Battles. Change your resolution per eye only here. For example: If you have a Vive Pro, your physical resolution per eye is 1440 x 1600 ; horizontal x vertical. Recommendation: 1.3x of the vertical physical resolution per eye, so that the distortion profiles are properly drawn. In our example: 1.3 x 1600 = 2080. So 1872 x 2080. Maximum: As high as your hardware allows to keep 90Hz. Not higher than 1.5x of vertical physical res. In our example, the max would be 1.5x1600p = 2400. So 2160 x 2400. Beyond that, objects start vanishing at ranges when they should not for headsets with less physical pixels than Reverb G1/G2! HP Reverb G2: Try 60% if you have an RTX 3080 and go as high as your hardware allows. Advanced Supersampling-Filter: Disable it. It blurs too much. Pause VR while headset is inactive: Disabled. 3) Start/Close: Turn Screen Off: 5 Minutes, Turn Controllers Off: 5 Minutes, Close Steam after: Never. ### For All Windows Mixed Reality Headsets ### Setup Guide Spoiler 1. We always want the latest Windows 10 Update. Updates outside the USA are often delayed, to make sure, use the Windows 10 Update Assistant ! 2. Install SteamVR 3. Install Mixed Reality Plugin Start-Up Sequence Spoiler 1. In Windows, open Mixed Reality Portal 2. Put on headset, let it recognize the room 3. In Steam, start SteamVR, then your game Failing to do so may put your head locked in a center position. A free performance boost for WMR Spoiler Description: Windows Mixed Reality pre-allocates monitors in VR. Take a look at your Windows' monitors (Rightclick to Desktop -> Display Settings) You will suddenly see many monitors while Mixed Reality Portal is active. These are rendered live, even if you don't use them. The more monitors you have, the higher the performance cost. Get performance boost by disabling them: [...] 1. Launch Registry Editor 2. Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Holographic" 3. If the "PreallocateVirtualMonitors" REG_DWORD is not present, create it by selecting Edit > New > DWORD (32-bit) Value and entering PreallocateVirtualMonitors as the name 4. If the "PreallocateVirtualMonitors" REG_DWORD is present (or you just created it), double-click the entry and change "Value data" from 1 (its default value) to 0 (zero) TRUE - 1 FALSE - 0 5. Virtual monitors will now allocate when you attempt to launch a Win32 application in Windows Mixed Reality instead of pre-allocating. To reset this and re-enable virtual monitor pre-allocation, return the DWORD "Value data" to 1. 6. Restart computer.

Spoiler There is a way to enjoy IL-2 in all its glory with Motion Smoothing - while minimizing any artifacts. Yes, the amount of artifacts are drastically reduced with the right settings - why is that? - Motion Smoothing needs depth information. It doesn't get this from IL-2, so Motion Smoothing works based only on sharpness of the render. - Motion Smoothing builds accuracy quickly. But not instantly, hence we must avoid it turning on and off all the time. - In order to maximise Motion Smoothing's accuracy and minimise any artifacts, the picture needs to be as sharp as possible. So let's do that: 1) Set SteamVR SS to 100%, both in the Video Tab and the IL-2's Game Tab. 2) Disable Advanced Super Sample Filtering. 3) Force enable Motion Smoothing! Apply "set Motion Smoothing per application" in SteamVR -> you must get in VR, open SteamVR Dashboard with your Controller, find WMR icon on the bottom-left hand side, and click through the three tabs there). Then in SteamVR's Video tab, go to individual game settings and select "Always On" for Motion Smoothing. 4) Keep HUD disabled as much as possible. Remember the thing about lack of Depth Information? Right! The HUD and FPS counter are at the same distance as that forest from 3km away is! Disable it, a true VR simulator pilot flies by instruments! In IL-2's Startup.cfg disable any Dynamic Resolution, disable any MSAA, disable Bloom!! This defeats 95% of all artifacts. The only artifact remaining will be an enemy plane's wings if it pulls up hard at high velocity in front of you. That's mostly 2-3 seconds of your 30 minute sortie. This is my absolute quality startup.cfg: [KEY = graphics] 3dhud = 0 adapter = 0 bloom_enable = 0 canopy_ref = 0 desktop_center = 0 detail_rt_res = 4096 draw_distance = 0.54500 far_blocks = 1 fps_counter = 0 fps_limit = 0 full_height = 1080 full_width = 1920 fullscreen = 0 gamma = 0.80000 grass_distance = 0.00000 hdr_enable = 1 land_anisotropy = 2 land_detail = 1 land_tex_lods = 3 max_cache_res = 1 max_clouds_quality = 3 mgpu_compatible = 0 mirrors = 2 msaa = 1 multisampling = 0 or_ca = 0.00040 or_dummy = 0 or_enable = 1 or_height = 3100 or_hud_rad = 1.50000 or_hud_size = 0.75000 or_ipd = 0.06753 or_sipdc = 0.00000 or_width = 3168 post_sharpen = 1 preset = 3 prop_blur_max_rpm_for_vr = 155 rescale_target = 1.00000 shadows_quality = 4 ssao_enable = 0 stereo_dof = 5.00000 vsync = 0 win_height = 1080 win_width = 1920 [END] If you do not have an RTX3090, but an RTX3080, lower ingame settings - not SteamVR's SS if you use Motion Smoothing. Check cloud quality = 2, then preset = 2 first, then (if you have to) shadows_quality = 3. It should hold 45Hz now. If not, check your software stack. Do not run third party antivirus software if you're a VR player. It introduces latencies which you don't want for Motion Smoothing either, or for feeling sick in VR. Run only Windows Defender, or keep a bucket nearby, or enjoy too many artifacts again. If you can run these settings, the game is just beautiful. 6K resolution, proper scaling (I checked, don't worry), and the feeling of 90Hz. ### Samsung Odyssey (Plus) ### Performant VR settings C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\startup.cfg Spoiler [KEY = graphics] 3dhud = 0 adapter = 0 bloom_enable = 0 canopy_ref = 0 desktop_center = 1 detail_rt_res = 1024 draw_distance = 0.54500 far_blocks = 1 fps_counter = 0 fps_limit = 0 full_height = 1080 full_width = 1920 fullscreen = 0 gamma = 0.70000 grass_distance = 0.00000 hdr_enable = 1 land_anisotropy = 2 land_tex_lods = 3 max_cache_res = 1 max_clouds_quality = 2 mgpu_compatible = 0 mirrors = 2 msaa = 1 multisampling = 1 or_enable = 1 or_height = 2179 or_hud_rad = 0.85000 or_hud_size = 1.00000 or_ipd = 0.06763 or_sipdc = 0.00000 or_width = 1748 post_sharpen = 1 preset = 2 prop_blur_max_rpm_for_vr = 155 rescale_target = 1.00000 shadows_quality = 4 ssao_enable = 0 stereo_dof = 5.00000 vsync = 0 win_height = 1080 win_width = 1920 [END] ### Remove color banding on clouds (some players have this issue) ### Spoiler 1) Rightclick Desktop, open "Nvidia Settings" 2) Select "3D-Settings", then Program Settings, then select IL-2 Sturmovik. 3) Set "Texture Filtering - Quality" to "High Quality". If you don't sport a GPU from 2014, you won't need Anisotropic Filtering. ### Performance Issues ### Please remember that all systems are different, and adjust a few details accordingly. I recommend you use the application fpsVR to see whether your performance is limited by the CPU or the GPU. Look for the frametimes. Here are some suggestions to reduce the stress: Spoiler Performance boosts for CPU: Disable Grass Lower Main Presets Disable Mirrors Disable Distant Buildings Lower Horizon Draw Distance Performance boosts for GPU: Disable Grass Disable Mirrors Disable Canopy reflections Disable SSAO Disable MSAA Lower Shadow Quality Lower Cloud Quality ### Instant Zoom ### Spoiler It is possible to have the zoom work in an instant. This is better for combat pilots, for that instant snapshot. Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\startup.cfg Open with Notepad. You can make VR zoom instant, look for and edit the line: ### Chaperone Ring in SteamVR ### Spoiler Start SteamVR, click on: Settings -> Developer -> select Large/Gigantic Room -> press Quick Calibrate ### Old Propeller Disk ### Spoiler The prop blur at 155 is meant for VR, removes artifacts with motion reprojection, and takes less performance. To get the old prop disk back, navigate to startup.cfg and edit line to: prop_blur_max_rpm_for_vr = -1 ### Fix to "fisheyed" problem in WMR ### Spoiler 1) Update Windows 10 to latest version 2) Go into Mixed Reality Portal -> Settings -> Headset Display -> select Options for User Experience: "Best Visual Quality" Resolution: "4320x2160 (Best Quality)" //Resolution value can vary by headset Frequency: 90Hz ### IL-2 Benchmarks, performance and hardware analysis ### Spoiler Find out more about your hardware, if you have the following questions: - Where is my bottleneck? - How is my computer actually performing? - What part should I upgrade next for biggest performance gain with lowest cost? Benchmark your Hardware in IL-2 and ask for help on hardware in @chiliwili69's thread! Enjoy the hunt! 🤠 // DEPRECATED // ### Pimax 5K+ ### Consult the Pimax' community website ! Spoiler Software, primary settings: 1) Clean uninstall of an older PiTool is a requirement: Turn off PiTool. Then uninstall PiTool via Windows, then delete the following folders: C:\ProgramData\pimax C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\PiTool C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\Pimax C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Pimax C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\PiTool\ 2) Get the latest PiTool with Pimax Experience. HMD: Render Quality 1.0, Contrast Red&Green +1. Contrast Blue 0. Brightness -2 for every color. Games: Smart Smoothing off, Fixed Foveated Rendering off, Parallel Projection off, Vive game only off, Field of View Normal, Refreshrate 90Hz. Software, secondary settings: IPD Adjustment - all credits to user dstar from openmr forums! Do not trust the pop-up IPD. Pimax headsets aren't accurate in what they display as IPD. There is a method to dial in your IPD with Pimax headsets: 1: Copy this grid picture to C:\Program Files\Pimax\Runtime\resource 2: Rename pimax_default.jpg to old_pimax_default.jpg 3: Now name the downloaded grid picture to pimax_default.jpg 4: Now restart the computer, make sure Pimax World View is off. You have effectively replaced the Pimax logo with a grid that allows you to dial in the IPD, horizontal and vertical fit of the headset. Put the lines over each other, while ignoring that displayed IPD value.

II./JG1_Lipfert 30 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Kameraden, Tried it and with Lefuneste's mod in combination my scores on Coconut's server have gone up right away. Much better ident now even when not zoomed it. I've gone with High settings as I tune this in better. S! FW 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SCG_motoadve 1895 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Combining sharpen in game and blurried terrain , now there is no need for that much SS anymore. Kind of you can control the amount of shimmering you are willing to see , by reducing or adding SS. Looks better and performs better. Its a win win setting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
71st_AH_statuskuo 29 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Finally tried this mod and it is game changing for VR (I have a Rift). Mapped it to my joystick zoom button with joytokey and able to ID way further away now. Now I won't get killed in Coconut's as fast, thanks Lefuneste. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SvAF/F16_radek 219 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Gave these settings a go and agree they considerably improve contact spotting. Easy now even in bad weather. The only thing I run differently is "high" rather than "ultra" as at ultra heavy cloudcovers a kill my fps. Wish clouds had their own setting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AwesomeSprawvy 17 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I tried these settings last night and the game looks and runs great. Now that my SS is back to 1.0, I moved up from low to balanced settings with no loss in FPS so far. I'll have to try the high setting later on.

HunDread 268 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Yes, you need to set it in the default settings in the upper section of the d3dx.ini file instead of under the different [key] sections further below.

And I find no SS settings in the graphics settings in the game And and How do i go to the graphics confic in the PC startup ??? Thanx Link to post Share on other sites
SCG_Fenris_Wolf 1432 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hi Sire, welcome to the VR community! You'll find supersampling in SteamVR's settings, then select manual override under Video. Under Developer you'll find the Adv SS Filter. In the game there is Anti-Aliasing, but no way to edit VR's own SS settings. Please do that using SteamVR. You can also download and install "Advanced OpenVR" (Google has details) to change it while you're already in VR! P.S. VR takes a bit of studying how to do what and which, it's not ready out of the box for IL-2 since IL-2 originally wasn't made for VR. It may take a few hours but the joy of having it set up properly makes up for the several hours invested. It's like modding SkyrimVR. Takes time, but dang, it's worth it when done 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, that was the largest improvement for me as well. I flew a whole TAW campaign without this mod, and always had to fly within gun range to even ID people.. very much less than ideal.

SCG_Fenris_Wolf 1432 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Hi Beazil, the herementioned copy and paste settings for lefuneste's mod are for Rift or Odyssey users. There need to be different values for each headset, as they demand to be customized. Have you found some working for the Vive so far? I could add some for the Vive, but since I've given my Vive away a while ago, I would not be able to confirm their validity 100% on my own, and thus decided not to post them. 🙁 I will check later if I find some in lefuneste's thread and include them here as well.

SYN_Blackrat 71 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hi, Thanks very much for taking the time to do all this, saved me a lot of time, I think i have just about got it figured out, but I couldn't get the 5x and 10x zoom to work, I noticed in your d3dx.ini you have the following [Key1] ;set high zoom on Key = no_ALT no_shift no_ctrl VK_DOWN type = hold ; modify here the first value you want to use for zoom increase w = 10.0 y6 = 1.31 x7 = -0.15 y7 = -0.85 [Key2] ;set zoom on Key = ALT no_shift no_ctrl VK_DOWN type = hold ; modify here the first value you want to use for zoom increase w = 1.5 ;common settings x7 = 0.0 y7 = 0.0 [Key3] ;set med zoom on Key = no_ALT no_shift no_ctrl VK_UP type = hold ; modify here the first value you want to use for zoom increase w = 5.0 y6 = 0.6 x7 = -0.15 y7 = -0.425 I changed it to the following and all worked [Key1] ;set high zoom on Key = ALT no_shift no_ctrl VK_DOWN type = hold ; modify here the first value you want to use for zoom increase w = 10.0 y6 = 1.31 x7 = -0.15 y7 = -0.85 [Key2] ;set zoom on Key = no_ALT no_shift no_ctrl VK_DOWN type = hold ; modify here the first value you want to use for zoom increase w = 1.5 ;common settings x7 = 0.0 y7 = 0.0 [Key3] ;set med zoom on Key = ALT no_shift no_ctrl VK_UP type = hold ; modify here the first value you want to use for zoom increase w = 5.0 y6 = 0.6 x7 = -0.15 y7 = -0.425 Not sure if it was an error, or I have changed the wrong thing, but I get x5 and x10 zoom now?

Macross 15 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) It should work either way. only difference between both is pressing only arrow key or alt+arrow key to get zoom. And tried your VR settings couple days ago, difference is like night and day what i had before, much more enjoyable to fly now. Edited July 31, 2018 by Macross Link to post Share on other sites

Needs to be changed, not everyone can sort out ini files. Link to post Share on other sites

Any thoughts? Here is my Sys Specs: 6th Gen core i5 6400 2.7 Ghz, turbo boost to 3.2 Ghz (I don't know how to enable turbo boost, so for now it runs at stock 2.7 Ghz) on socket 1151 16 Gb DDR4 ram memory (1600 Mhz?)

SCG_Fenris_Wolf 1432 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi Algy, The settings are from my machine, an I7 7700K at 4.9GHz, DDR4 memory at 3200MHz, SSD, and a GTX1080 with powertarget at 110%. I don't think the rig you mentioned could hold an adequate framerate with these settings. Link to post Share on other sites
Algy-Lacey 85 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Thanks for the clarification, Fenris_Wolf. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
SCG_Fenris_Wolf 1432 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 @Algy-Lacey , you can lower shadows to 2 , preset to 1, grass_distance to 0, land_tex_lods to 1, multisampling to 1. Maybe this will bring up your FPS. I still recommend you to use the migoto mod and its settings for your Rift or Odyssey. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

(How do I include someone's name in Blue like you did with my name? I'm guessing that notifies the person tagged?) I will give those settings a try this evening. And Lefuneste's 3DMigoto Mod is going to be essential for me, due to my slow rig I will be running constant ASW 45fps, with the propellor turned off so there are no artefacts. And lastly, thanks for the tip in your original post - that putting Landscape Filter to Blurry will correct the shimmering textures that I experienced the first time I tried IL-2 BOK.

Summary: Presets High Mirror Medium Shadows High Landscape Filter Blurry Landscape Range 4x Clouds High AA 4x Dyn Res 1.0 Gamma 0.8 HDR 0 SSAO 0 Sharpen 1 4k textures 1 SteamVR SS/PD off Lefuneste's mod installed 5x zoom on one button 10x lefuneste's zoom on secondary button (use JoyToKey to map both to your secondary Joystick Button) ColorFix at 1.16 (you must edit the w6 variable, then activate it ingame via alt+u). Violá Hey fenris, I use your copy and paste settings, do those in the startup config effect the ingame options as well? The color correction maybe due to the gamma adjustment makes planes so much easier to spot and I don't want to change the preset to mess anything up, I only have a 1070 so my frames aren't as good as they could be. I just want to make sure I can change the preset and keep your settings? Also I copy and pasted everything for both files, I haven't even been turning on the colorfix apparently with the mod, didn't know you had to activate it. These settings help so much I had previously set them back to default and the difference is night and day, it's so washed out in the rift that spotting planes is nearly impossible since everything has the same colors. Also check this out, the VR limiter yeah? I noticed that while sitting on the runway with no air rushing over the cockpit you can move out more right like it has been stated? Check say the yak69 you can get in super close to the gunsight when you are still, but when you start going at speed you can't anymore, I think there is a bug where the wind pressure effect is effecting how close you can get to the gunsight and not just how far you can stick your head out of the sides of the open cockpit. I was all happy they fixed how close you can lean in but once I started flying it was back to the same. I think we should report this as an actual bug as I am sure that is not intended to work like that. Edited August 8, 2018 by 15th_JonRedcorn Link to post Share on other sites
SCG_Fenris_Wolf 1432 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hi Jon, yes you can adjust a lower preset for example to 2, and Land_tex_lod/landscape detail range to 1 as well. I also recommend then putting grass to 0.00, and lowering shadows to 2 in the startup.cfg. This should give you a nice performance boost. By the way, you might want to use the first post in the thread as a base to work from. The one you quoted is outdated, I'll mark it as such, thanks 😀👍 Very good finding on the VR limiter. I didn't know about that bug yet. I'll check it out as well. Yes, we might want to create some bug reports about it, on the Russian forums as well. Best regards!

DwieDora 1 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hey fenris, i took a long brake from il2 in vr since last year december. Back then i could play the game @1.3 pd with an amd 290 card with asw perfectly fine. Today i have tried your settings and i got not the performance i had hoped for. I had Steam resolution at 100% on the rift what is about 1.42 pd i suppose and exactly your graphics settings. I was flying on the WOL server on the kuban map and my frames where between 35-45 near the ground with forced asw. I have a 1080ti i7 4790k @4.9Ghz and 2400Mhz Ram and game on Ssd. Is the performance normal and what settings would you tweak for better performance? Btw the game looks stunning with your settings and Lefuneste‘s mod, thanks for your work.
