Oculus Rift CV1 * My Settings for better Spotting *

[GOA_Karaya_VR]

Good day Pilots , i hope that this information helps in any form the ability for spot for those that use Oculus CV1. Finally i'm able to spot very well with this parameters.

I'm using Oculus Tray tool with:

 

Super Sampling : 1.2

ASW: Off 

Set Power Plan : High

 

And of Course Open Composite.

Thank you.

 

I would also suggest turning the shadows off completely.  This reduces the screen door effect by brightening the space between each pixel with white light which helps shroud the screen door effect.  Shadows only reduce clarity as they do in real life, so unless you have a photorealistic image and lots of extra image power to throw around, shadows will only be using up your CPU & GPU resources in an attempt to reduce your picture clarity.  Bogeys will actually look blacker and less washed out, thus visibly separate themselves from the screen door effect more.

Edit: I'm not using an RTX card though, so possibly true light rendering will help you see bogeys more. Not so with non-RTX I find.

How does one edit these settings?
I got OTT installed alright, but I'm not seeing where all of those parameters are. 

 

Thanks

I've not tested other resolutions but I also run my CV1 with the monitor set at 1920 x 1080, since I'm using an older 32" TV for my monitor, where that is the max resolution that TV will do. I also run OTT set at 1.2 super sampling.

 

From the people I have flown with, they said I spot better than they do.Those were people flying with monitors and TrackIR. Not sure if running that resolution is part of the reason I spot well but I am certainly happy with the spotting I do.

I believe spotting is a little easier in VR, ID'ing the aircraft however is a whole nother story.

Could you please post your PC specs, just for comparison's sake? I've got the Rift S, and am fiddling around with the settings for best picture clarity/spotting.
