Ingamepanel Oculus VR Panel for Flight Simulator v2.0.0

User Rating: 5 / 5

WHAT IS OCULUS VR PANEL

With this addon you will be able to configure all the parameters of your Oculus VR glasses without having to take them off.

You can modify the SuperSampling to improve sharpness, modify the ASW to fly without flickering or cuts, increase the priority of the processes and ultimately adapt your VR settings to achieve the best experience and immersion.

Some of the options if they apply with VR activated need to be deactivated and activated again.

For example, if we are flying in VR and we want to modify the SuperSampling, it will be necessary to press Ctrl + Tab (or the key associated with activating / deactivating VR) to reactivate VR and for the new parameters to take effect.

New with this version:

• Better UI
• More space for the panel. Better visibility.
• Better resizing of the window.
• You can move the content with the mouse wheel.
