Just to add, if you see a strange artefact in the sky when using Link, turn off ASW. Cheers all!

Oh my gosh I cannot believe that I have had Microsoft simulator for near on 2 years running a 4080 64 gig 12900k and I have never ever in my life seen Microsoft simulator looking so good, a special big thank you to you, I can now enjoy flying, instead of tweaking lol

I do absolutely agree, Quest 3 with RD is my favorite headset for MSFS, I do own the Varjo Aero, nice clarity and comfort, but I am feeling much better with the Quest 3. I have removed the gasket using the bobovr m3. I can grab my coffee mug, see my cockpit, nice airflow. The experience with the Quest 3 has brought my VR flying experience to a whole new level. So incredibly smooth, London, New York, Rain etc... no issue at all. Quest 3 is my recommendation to all, save yourself some money and enjoy the experience

I love Quest 3 with MSFS 2020.

In terms of smoothness, what's been most impactful for me is limiting frames within the rivatuner app, instead of openxr toolkit or the nvidia control panel. I limit to 36 fps there and then set 72 frames in virtual desktop, with ASW.

This completely smooths out the experience for me, and with a 4080, I find I can increase quite a lot of graphical settings in MSFS with no troubles (even running ultra clouds, which look incredible in VR).

I would strongly recommend people give rivatuner a try if they're having issues with stuttering or hitching- it's been the most important change I've made to my own setup, with great results.

[K...]

Here's a tip. People notice different things when it comes to graphics. Start with everything on low/off, then set a tolerable render resolution. Then start upping settings only where you can tell something is missing, like clouds higher textures etc. If it doesn't bring anything substantial to the visuals, revert back to previous setting.

Thanks Steve - I agree it's a fab headset! One of the main reasons I use the link cable, is to be able to adjust the horizontal FOV multiplier to 1.2 (Virtual Desktop does not allow >100%) This removes the black line that I can see in my field of view when moving my head from left to right and vice versa. Just wanted to mention this.

[rollsboy]

Steve - thanks for all of these Quest 3 guide videos. I had a Reverb G2 and got a Quest 3 for Christmas upon your recommendation. I currently have a 3070Ti PC but am in the process of building a new PC with a new 4080 Super once they drop next week (I can't afford a 4090). These settings videos have me prepared and ready to go once I have my PC set up. These videos are SOOO useful for folks like us who want to enjoy flying but need help understanding all of the VR settings information which is admittedly a bit over my head. Cheers mate.

Picked up a quest 3 the other day to replace my ageing G2, it's awesome and a worthy upgrade, and far more versatile and the clarity from the lenses is second to none

[pchappy.]

I have a similar system as you and started with your settings as a baseline. Been tweaking for a couple months and finally within the last couple weeks I really got it dialed in. I agree with you, this headset is phenomenal for the price, especially given where budget VR is going it seems. Thanks as always for sharing!

[MarkHall-pe]

With my 4090, 7800x3d. VD in godlike mode, 120fps, asw always on and msfs settings to high end with some ultra settings, TAA, . a little higher settings than in video. runs like a dream, can see the smallest of text in cockpit. VD overlay shows around 120fps, dipping to 110 fps occasionally. I find these settings the smoothest.

Thank you for this video on using the Quest 3 with MSFS SIM game. I have a Quest 3 and right now use it for SIM racing games, along with a RTX-3080TI GFX card, and use the USB link cable to connect to my PC. I have MSFS but have not flown any plane in the game. I know most of you are going for the Crystal headsets now in 2024.

Do you have a tutorial in how to get even started in operating the first plane in MSFS??

I know a little bit about Aircraft since I was in the Air Force during the Viet Nam years and worked on and flew in a C-130 turbo prop aircraft. Was a fun 4 years being around the aircraft - the war was not fun though. Even got to sit in the Co-Pilots seat one day while the Pilot was doing some testing of the aircraft after repairs.

Anyway, thanks for the video. Take care.

re ordered the quest 3 due to your exellent review. It was max 15 minutes then headache so i send it back. Now ordered the strap and the gasket along with it. Lets see if things get better. Thanks my friend

[cherryfruit]

Love quest 3, cant wait to upgrade from a 3070 to a 4080 super

[andrewvillegas]

Quest 3 also gives you the mixed reality option for people who want to see their hands and gear in VR

[EmesiS]

Link cable, 4090 and still using the Oculus Tray Tool. That's all I use and very happy with the results. The only reason I use OTT is to give the instruments a little bit more sharpness. Other than that I could fly without it and still be happy. I use it in MSFS2020 and X-Plane 12. Personally I think the Q3 is an excellent HMD and it will get better with additional updates. Just like the Q2 got better with time. I still use the Q2 on my race sim and I have no complaints. Thanks for the video Steve. Cheers!

[juankaramirez]

Hi Steve, thanks for putting these videos together, your help is much appreciated, thank you for helping us enjoy more this wonderful hobby. I own a HP G2 and just got the Quest3, I'm really enjoying flying with the Q3 with virtual desktop much better over the G2. Happy flying!

[Gralev]

Your absolutely right. I’ve actually sold my Crystal and bought a Quest 3 after trying my sons at Christmas.
I tend to use Oculus Link cable, I find it gives me the best quality connection and visuals in MSFS. Other games like HLA I use VD for its freedom of the cable.
I’m blown away by the clarity of the lenses and FOV in the Q3 and find the reduction in resolution from my Crystal a non issue.
I took advantage of an offer at got the Q3 for £388!! There’s nothing that can come remotely close to the VR experience the Q3 gives at that price.

Thanks for the video Steve, I hope you keep the Q3 content coming as I think many more people with jump on this headset.

Have you tried streaming to the Quest 3 via Virtual Desktop using their VDXR implementation of the OpenXR runtime? It definitely feels much smoother than the SteamVR implementation of OpenXR. Interested to hear your thoughts on a comparison.

[roderickval]

Awesome man. Can you make a video for best setting for the quest 3 for DCS? Looking to move from the G2 to the quest 3. Should I get a 4070 Super? ot the 4080 Super?

[deutrolige]

Great video. I'm just starting with the MSFS and need to adjust a bit better my settings to get the most out of my RTX 4070 TI. I'll try to put the settings with the values somewhere in between the 3070 ti and the 4090 values that you show in the video and see how it goes 🙂
