HELP! virtual desktop vs. Link to Quest 2

[Vishnu]

Hey Guys,   I'm fairly new to the VR experience with IL2.    I apologize in advance if this has been asked before, or has been posted elsewhere.   For the past several months I've been playing with my Quest 2, through virtual desktop.   The problem I'm finding is that you tend to get a lot of stutters, long lags and quite a low frame rate.   (I consider 20-30 really good with virtual desktop)  But, the graphics are awesome.

 

So, yesterday I order cable link from Ankor and hooked it up through the Oculus Home and ran IL2 through that.   The frame rates are far superior, with about 45-50, with no stutters or long lags.   The issue I've noticed through the Link is that, there is a shimmering effect and a lot more broken horizontal lines.  ie:  while flying wings level and looking at the planes in front of you.  Their wings seem choppy and broken.

 

I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong, or if there is some sort of fix to get the best of both worlds.   No lag or stutters, AND no shimmering or broken horizontal lines.   (Keeping higher frame rate would be an added bonus)

 

Thanks again in advance guys.  Help a new brother out!

I haven't noticed any kind of shimmering on my end.  However I'm an strongly in favor of minimizing any air time between two devices, and keeping it all in cables as much as possible.  For me, the Link works fantastic and I wouldn't change it anytime soon.  To try to fix any shimmering on your end, I'll list out my VR settings for ya.  My settings do minimize IL-2 on the monitor quite a bit.  Initially this was to try to cut as much useless usage as I could (monitor is almost irrelevant in VR, ingame), but I haven't done direct comparisons with it at full or not.  So ofc cherry pick what you want, or none at all, up to you ?
