As I stated in my previous post, the Studio Driver caused lots of the cockpit shaking just while parked on the ground with the aircraft not started. Also huge amounts of artifacts causing blurred images floating across the screen as I look straight ahead and gets worse when looking around. It only happens in VR. Going back to the Game Ready driver fixed the artifacting but the shaking was still there. Switching from 60hz to 90hz for my VR headset in WMR calmed the shaking down considerately. It still shakes just a little bit now. Good enough to fly now, anyway. Hopefully the new Game Ready driver from Nvidia will fix this.

Have you tried calibrating your controllers in windows game controller settings?

I too accidently installed the latest Nvidia Studio Driver (517.40) thinking it was the updated Game Ready Driver. Fired up the simulator with SU 10 installed but found the cockpit shaking badly in VR and artifacts galore. It almost made me sick and was completely unplayable. I reverted back to the newest Game Ready Driver (516.94) and now the artifacts are gone but the cockpit still shakes, although not near as violently, but it is playable. There was never any cockpit shaking before SU 10 update with the 516.94 Game Ready Driver. Does anyone else have this happen in VR after SU 10 update? Any suggestions. I am using Windows 11.

I use both with no problems. Regards Kevin

I recently had cataract surgery on my left eye in April of this year. I had cataract surgery on my right eye a year or so ago. I use the HP Reverb G2 headset also. My left eye sees perfect but my right eye sight has deteriorated slightly and needs a corrective lens. I just recieved my lens inserts for my G2 yesterday. The left one is a Plano lens (no prescription, just a protective lens) and my right insert is a prescription lens. I tried them out after installing them onto the headset and I can't believe how well they work. No glasses necessary. It used to be a bit fuzzy on the right side in VR but now things are perfect. The lenses cost $65 US plus shipping. You can get corrective lens inserts for most VR headsets if you don't want the discomfort of wearing glasses with the headset on. The inserts were a minor purchase ($65) compared to the money spent on the VR Headset ($600) but I would highly recommend them as well as a Reverb G2 Headset.

That is why I just renewed my subscription 2 days ago!

I am so sorry it takes you this long to get MSFS downloaded and installed. You must have a very slow internet speed? Please don't take this to sound like I'm bragging, PLEASE DON"T, but it only takes me 1:55 minutes to download and install MSFS. I did it twice yesterday and twice today. This last time I got it installed in the proper drive and directory-too many mess-ups the 1st 3 times.

Me too unfortunately!!!

Here is how I do it. I have two extra Saitek Throttles and I assign the three lower momentary switches to Camera Assignments to one of them. I don't know if you have any old joysticks you can use for this function but it works great in VR. I have button for Forward/Backward, one for Up/Down and one for Left/Right movement in the cockpit. See pictures below.

Apparently I don't understand as I don't get any excessive turbulence and basically no turbulence at all unless I dial it in. Perhaps you have a setting causing that. Maybe post all your settings so someone can decipher it and help you.

I followed Tim's advice, downloaded and installed the freeware version of the PMS50 GTN750 avionics software but I want more options and controls. Does anyone have any experience or preference between the TDS GTN750XI and the PMS50 GTN750 avionics suite? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Tim. I will try that one.

Has anyone tried the Milviz Cessna 310R aircraft? I just purchased it yesterday and have flown it twice. Two take offs and two landings. It taxi's very nice and takes off straight down the runway with very little rudder use (unlike other stock MSFS aircraft). It is pretty twitchy on approach and landings, however. But it flies nice. There are options for the avionics. The default MSFS avionics and two that must be downloaded and installed. There is a free version of the GTN750 with limited functionality from PMS50 which you can purchase a yearly subscription for the full functions. And the TDS GTN750XI for a one time purchase. Has anyone used either of these? And which one would you recommend? Regards Kevin

Sorry about your trim wheel. I hope you have cameras set up to record such activity to turn into the police. I have cameras everywhere so nobody can sneak onto my property without being recorded. My neighbor across the street from me also has cameras everywhere so if mine miss something, his will capture it. Hopefully the police will catch this person and you will get your trim wheel back.

I overclock and don't have that problem. But I overclocked in the BIOS rather than using an external program to do it. Maybe running the external program could be the problem.

Also make sure to set your IPD (Inter Pupil Distance) or as my eye doctor calls it, IP. There is a slider on the bottom right side. Adjust it back and forth with your headset on until MSFS looks great. If it is not set correctly it can look blurry.

While you have got the "Boss" in the mood, David, see if she will allow you to purchase some prescription lenses for your new headset. There are several companies (vr-rock.com for instance) that make them for around 80 to 100 dollars, depending on what you add (blue filters, etc). They will snap onto the lenses inside your headset so you won' need to have your glasses on. I was going to do this as I could barely see my hand from an outstretched arm. Then discovered I had Cataracts really bad in both eyes. Got the surgery recently with new lenses (I now have what I call bionic eyes) and now I see perfectly again. So I won't need them now. But you should at least check into them and see if you would benefit from them. Oh, and follow Steve's advice above about assigning a couple of buttons on a joystick for VR Enable\Disable and VR Centering. I also have a couple of spare Saitek Throttle Quadrants which I use the bottom buttons for things like moving my view forward\backwards, up\down and left\right. All while in VR. I like to sit closer to the instrument panel and down a tiny bit.

I have to give you a personal thank you, Steve, for mentioning the new Nvidia driver. I just downloaded it, installed it, restarted my computer and immediately started up MSFS and did a test flight. WOW!!! What a difference! I usually have stutters when turning while taxiing on the ground at an airport or when looking down at the instruments while panning left to right (or right to left) in the Baron G58 (my favorite aircraft). No more stuttering. I also had some slight stuttering looking out and down at the ground of the left window but now it is buttery smooth, even with my lowly Nvidia RTX 2080 video card! It is so exciting! I thank you again for mentioning that detail so I could take advantage of it. You're the MAN! My Regards Kevin

It's stunning how fantastic the graphics in MSFS are to the real world!

I had the Oculus Rift S at first but got tired of the screen door effect of the larger pixels. I switched to the HP Reverb G2 a year ago and would never go back.

The default ATC is terrible in every Sim I've ever tried. And I have tried almost all of them. We need a good 3rd party payware ATC program for sure. I also used Radar Contact in FS2004 and loved it. And yes it was payware.

The update went smooth as silk for me. No problems found as of yet. The sim is working fine for me. But I have rarely had any problem, just one since December 2020. Maybe it's my setup.

Really, Brodie? You are OK with RI_Red's post about "but if they're asking a question, fine, we can help, otherwise, please put them to the wind and out of these forums." Which means censoring and cancelling but your not ok with having the posts moved to the appropriate forums or you just would rather they were deleted completely? WOW, All I can say is WOW!

What double standards? Oh, you mean it's OK to come into the MSFS 2020 forum just to denigrate the simulator and the people who enjoy using it? All while being disrespectful and argumentative towards everyone? But dare not go into the FS2004 forum and do the same thing? Brodie, maybe you can tell us how many MSFS 2020 users go into the FS2004 forum and pull a "Mark Daniels" just for the thrill of it and to get the threads shut down. I don't know who or how many do that since I hardly ever post there, so please enlighten me. I would really like to know. Or are you just going to swipe this post, also?

Your gobsmacked? Which parts are not true? FS2004 is not 20 year old software? People who love FS2004 also love MSFS 2020 and use it? Or not. And unfortunately, Mark Daniels never entered the MSFS 2020 forum to help anyone. I think he thoroughly enjoyed people's reactions towards his boorish behaviour and he personally got many threads shut down-all on purpose. Many of us in the MSFS 2020 forum have been gobsmacked multiple times when a good thread was going only to have Mark come in and agitate everyone with nothing helpful to add which led to the threads being shut down. Would you rather the negative threads get censored and cancelled into oblivion, Brodie? Or like I suggested and have them moved to the appropriate forum where people can read and enjoy them. I normally don't post anything in the FS2004 forum but you swiped my post from the MSFS 2020 forum and put it here like I was lying about and denigrating FS2004. I wasn't. You can enjoy your flight sim of choice, I don't care. But please, let us enjoy our flight sim of choice also.
