Haven't played this in a little while. What's the modding scene like now for this? I know it's early days but still.

Back home now, 3GB left

Just had a quick play around. To get it to run vaguely smoothly, needs pretty much everything on low or off. That's with a 9700, 2070S and 64GB ram. Being fair, still looked "ok", and the pleasure of being able to use VR is worth the trade off.

You have a G2 right? What resolution scale are you using?

No, still using a Rift S

 

[andy_mk3]

I'm using a G2 with a GTX1080, it's a slideshow unless scaling is set to 60 and all low settings.

Just tried it with a 3080 quite blurry and stuttery but a good start, but still needs some work

Agreed. As a starting point, it's actually better than I expected. For all that, it's clearly going to require both a significant improvement in both hardware and optimisation to really get the best out of VR. It's almost amusing to have found a game that runs worse than DCS in VR.

Update. Had a quick fly around San Francisco, which really didn't look great with the settings that I've needed to use. As such, off to fly an F18 instead (in DCS that is).
