This is what I see when I look to the sun in VR

[DRosa]

This is what the screenshot captures

 

The red circle here represent actually what the sunlight cover of my view

 

I already tried some mods, like SKY and LIGHT, sun size correction and VR Enchancer, nothing seems to work.

Anything that I could do? If I turn the gamma down, it doesnt change so much, as make impossible to see the panel

Not sure if you use OPENXR toolkit, but there is a setting under the Performance menu ( I think), for sunglasses...there are three settings.  I would use the Dark setting for this particular map.

Tried it, but the app just doesnt open on SteamVR here. I'm at the point that if I could, I would just play without sun at all

Unfortunately this is an issue that players keep bringing up after a certain update in 2022 (I believe it was after the new sky dome/cloud update).

 

What isn't understood in each of the threads (some are in the bug report forum) by the devs it seems is that the percentage of the actual usable viewport covered in the HMD is much higher than the percentage covered when seen on screen so effectively you cannot hide from the interrogation light beam.

So... almost 3 years after the update and still no solution? Is there a possibility of playing with the old sky dome?

I dont have headtracker anymore, and only came back to IL2 because of VR, but honestly, the sun makes it unplayable to me, it is just that bad

Well, spent too much time trying a bounch of different solutions, I'll drop off IL2 again while the solution doesnt come up or an update fixes it.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. VR QoL improvements may be hard to come by as development team is reportedly working full speed on their next title.

Some VR folks including me report many times this un-healthy problem and we never recieve any feedback from the Devs.. Despite the unrealistic situation, this sunblock problem is a pain for our eyes.

 

Please Devs, we need some help from your part with this Sun Haze situation

 

Kind regards.

@LukeFF Can you ask about VR QOL improvements like this and maybe adding these features to the game: 

???

 

It would be nice to see GB be polished when development stops.

One thing I notice with the greater resolution in the Crustal Light, the sun is no where near as harsh and annoying as it was in my G2.  Its really become a non-factor compared, no idea why

Different aspect ratio, bigger FOV (much bigger vertical especially) so the sun covers less percentage of your view in the Crystal.

I saw sun with 8kx, with biggest fov the sun is biggest too. You can not turn your head enough to reduce sun. With lower fov was easier, just turn your head a little, and sun is gone.

I have crystal now, but I got used to sun, it's not bothering me (much) any more.
