So many flavors to choose from.

I think Baskin Robins 31 Flavors has fewer flavors to choose from.

 

Setting up VR for IL2 sure is getting interesting.  LOL 

We have for users to choose from - 

 

==== Ways to Play - 
Virtual Desktop+SteamVR
Link+SteamVR
Steam Link
Opencomposite

 

==== At the moment The Desktops (I hope there aren't any more)
Meta  - Virtual Desktop $20
Steam - Steam Link free

 

==== Now for Passthrough we have - 
Chroma Track Overlay
EasyFree Mixed Reality
Open KneeBoard 
Steam 

 

===== My Setup
Windows 11
CPU    AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core
GPU    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12gb
MEM    32gb
VR    Oculus 3 512

 

Unless someone out there has a better idea I was thinking on going Steam VR.  I need the Passthrough.  Has anyone else out there been in the situation I'm in and have something close to my setup. At the moment its like I'm playing handball and bouncing around everywhere.   LOL   Just a quick note on the SW your using, and a mention the primary settings, the ones that really matter, for the software and IL2  settings that I need to adjust.  

 

Thanks everyone have a great night.

Yes, there are multiple ways to use the Quest3.

I was tying to understand all of them and evaluate the best or more practical option:

 

There is a post about this, and in general for all Vr devices and IL-2:

 

In the drawings that @firdimigdi shared, I still don´t understand the options of either setting SteamVR as the OpenXR Runtime or setting Meta as the OpenXR Runtime.

 

I use SteamVR but I set Oculus as the OpenXR Runtime and wifi with Airlink, so it means that SteamVR is just acting as a translator of OpenVR to OpenXR. Same role than OpenComposite.

The performance with 150%SS is good and image quality as well. I tested the other routes but I didn´t see any other major advantages.

No, that doesn't mean that SteamVR is acting as a translator of OpenVR to OpenXR. What you have setup means that OpenXR titles will use Meta/Oculus' OpenXR and all SteamVR/OpenVR titles will work as normal though SteamVR. Only if you use OpenComposite will any SteamVR/OpenVR title be translated to OpenXR (so directly to the Meta/Oculus OpenXR runtime) by-passing SteamVR.

Another pass-through app for your list.

In relation to the flavors:

 

We have different tools to increase performance:

 

OpenXR toolkit

VRPerfKit_RSF

 

Did someone compare all this to know which option delivers the best performance?

Openxr toolkit with CAS sharpening works fine for me, first using HP reverb G2 and now with Quest 3...
