I used to run with 2x MSAA but turned it off because there is no difference. But in IL2, the difference between MSAA off and 2x or even 4x MSAA is hardly noticeable. I set mine to Medium but its another setting I would like to increase.Īntialiasing type – MSAA is very GPU expensive and in other VR games like DCS it is a must. But they are also very demanding so you will have to find a sweet spot. Clouds are very important in IL2 and can have a big impact on our experience. Grass quality – Don’t care much about grass since we belong in the air! Normal is fine and increasing it doesn’t really make it better so why bother.Ĭlouds Quality – This is another big one. I leave it on sharpen since it doesn’t seem to impact performance much. Landscape Filter – Sharpen looks very good on monitor, but in VR the difference is hardly noticeable between off and sharpen.
I think 70 km is the sweet spot, but you can lower it if you don’t mind the land in the far off horizon not rendering. Horizon Draw Distance – This means how far away from your current position is the horizon drawn.
You will barely notice the quality of the distant landscape anyway.Ĭanopy reflections – It doesn’t do much for immersion in VR and is hardly noticeable. I would certainly like to use them more, but they are so small that you hardly see anything in VR.ĭistant Landscape Detail – The game renders distant landscape in less detail than landscape that is closer to you. Mirrors – Mirrors have a small but noticeable impact on performance. The cockpit looks very ugly when you switch them off so this is probably the most important setting form a visual standpoint. I set them to high, but if you are having trouble, you can try reducing them. So I try to keep them as high as possible. Shadows can have a BIG impact on both performance and graphical quality. Shadow Quality – One of the more important graphics settings. UI Scale – This increases the scale of the UI which can be helpful if you have a low resolution headset and can’t read the menu items and text. The performance impact is minimal though. Since you won’t be looking at it anyway, you can reduce this to something on the lower end. Screen Resolution – This is the resolution of the display on your flat screen monitor. Let’s look at all the options first and see what they actually do. Similarly, some settings can be more important for an immersive visual experience but this also comes down to personal preference. Some have a massive impact on performance while others barely move the needle. So you must make some compromises and reduce some settings to get the best experience. IL2 is based on a somewhat dated engine and it struggles to maintain 90 FPS in VR even on high end gaming rigs. Flight sims can be very demanding on your GPU and even on your CPU in VR.
