How to force lower FPS with the G2?

[Panzerlang]

I'm one of the lucky ones who's not affected by nausea and can run at any FPS in VR. I had the Occulus running IL2 at 45fps but cannot see a way in the SteamVR/WMR settings to do likewise. It does show "90htz" in there but it can't be changed as far as I can make out.
WW2 planes run pretty good with my G2 but for some reason the WW1 jobbies are pretty glitchy. It might be a map thing (some maps more intensive than others?).

TIA.

You can enable Motion Smoothing to be forced on in the Steam VR settings which would lock it to 45 fps.

Also you can reduce the refresh rate from 90 Hz to 60 Hz in WMR settings.

I tried the 60 Hz and whilst I could always maintain 60 fps I did not like the way it felt to me.

Thank you DB, I'll go monkey with it now.

Is it possible to fire them both up separately? If I fire up the WMR it just fires up the little SteamVR window.
Duh. Headset powered up, both can be open separately.

It doesn't like 60htz, at least not in the presentation house, it's all 'shimmery'. Hope it doesn't do that in games. Weird.

I can't find Motion Smoothing in the SteamVR settings.

Yes you should be using WMR for Steam VR, and launching WMR will launch both.

You can set a profile in Steam VR for IL-2, but may need IL-2 running to access it.

No, not nice at 60htz, it runs worse than at 90.

I wish I or someone else had the time to use the benchmark below and run the tests as they change only one of the graphics settings at a time. It would be interesting to see the FPS changes as each individual graphic setting is changed
