Hello everyone, with the Valve Index having canted display maybe we will have what we want and get those extra FPS we are looking for?!

I tried iRacing, it's butter smooth and super sharp (and dynamics mirrors ), even with quite simple graphics this is what a good VR sim should be.

@Marcel Offermans and @Christopher Elliott , please don't forget us and VR user in general (SPS).

 

iRacing and AC both support non parallel projection. And the difference in performance is huge. I‘m really hoping that S397 implements this.

 

Hello.

Is the Rift S concerned about the lack of this feature?

 

No, it's only a Pimax 5k/8k problem, and maybe Valve Index.

 

From this months Road Map

VR Features
We basically added two new things. Support for “IPD” or “World Scale” adjustments, which allow the fine tuning of the distance between the eye cameras in game. Some headsets have hardware controls for this too, but due to popular demand from people in our community we added this as a software feature too. This adjustment allows changing stereo separation strength, which leads to different perception of VR image and in some cases increases comfort. We’ve added key bindings to increase, decrease or even reset the IPD so you can map those and make adjustments while sitting in the cockpit (don’t adjust and drive though!).

The second feature we added is for users of the Pimax (and possibly other similarly constructed headsets). It allows you to enable or disable a specific projection mode that respects the orientation of the displays in the headsets. On the Pimax they are canted. Setting this feature, that for now needs to be changed in the player.json text file, to “1” enables this new option for Pimax. As a side effect, rendering on Pimax becomes roughly 25% more efficient, which is a nice bonus.

Below is an overview of both settings as they appear in your player.json:

Code:

"VR IPD Scale": 1,
"VR IPD Scale#": "VR IPD Scale: Adjusts IPD distance
                 between eyes. 1.0 = default IPD 
                 distance, as reported by the HMD, 
                 below 1.0 = reduce, above 1.0 = 
                 increase",
"VR Projection Mode": 0,
"VR Projection Mode#": "VR Projection Mode: 0 = 
                 default, 1 = not in-plane displays
                 HMDs",

 

great, thank you

 

Thank you so much!!!

 

Where is this in the player.json - i dont see the lines of code in there

 

You need to start game at least once after update to get those lines.

 

Thank you!

 

Not working as intended for now:
