    VR does not have a ratio, as the view is 360 degree, all around. ratio applies to fix screen(s) but not to VR.
    Field of view yes, even though it is also misleading as all you need to do to see more is move your head, but at least it is possible to assign a field of view when keeping the head still.

    @MarcG, I was referring to the ratio of how SVR computes SS vs Oculus, as I read somewhere a while ago something to the effect that the equivalent SVR SS was like squared that of Oculus (ex Oculus SS=1.5, SVR=2.25). But I believe the latest SVR has it in terms of percentage, so I wasn't sure of the 'latest' equivalent for SVR, for Rift users.

    What res does this put you at ?
    I have been using 60% which is 1455x1735 per eye to give me headroom for mod tracks that aren't so optimised . Where 100% is 1878x2240 per eye.

    There is a sharpness setting in the plr.jason. Look for texture sharpening.

    Rain in VR is currently being optimised, expect an update soon that will improve performance :)

    For an extra boost in performance after today's Rain VR Update you can stop the AI using headlights:
    Open your player.JSON and search for Max Headlights, change that to a 0 and the AI will no longer automatically have headlights on in the rain.

    This of course won't work if you run a race into the night though!

    this i do- but this impacts only the raindrops on my windshield
    i was wondering if i could turn off the rain at all - not the impact to track and car - but the visual rain

    shortly forget it. Even with lowest rainsetting and only 16 visible ai is hard to reach 45fps with a 1070 only with reflexion settings at off.
    I think you have to wait for a 1470 or something like that. Maybe a 1280ti is fast enough to get 90fps

    With the patch today, I can finally run in the rain in VR. With raindrops set to medium (Oreca 07 on Le Mans_2017). I have an RX480. Prior to today's patch, it would stagger like an old drunk man trying to walk home from the bar until it would just collapse in a puddle of his own drool. I don't pay attention to frame rate. All I care is that I can drive without feeling that something is wrong. If I start paying attention to numbers, I'll fixate on that and worry more about that than running laps.

    Hey All, running a Lenovo Mixed Reality. I read on a forum to install the DX11 Beta, just wondering if this has changed or should I stay on it?
