why that's just down the street for me...
@All - I still use my monitor, but just for any sim/game that is not compatible with VR. The next gen VR won't be out until early 2019, so I figured what the heck. Enjoy it now. And with the Rift sale going on, $399 is an awesome price point. Besides, you'll end up having to build a whole new computer rig to support the next gen VR.
ASUS SABERTOOTH X79 (Getting on a bit, but does OK)
i7 3930k 4.5Ghz (As above)
Samsung EVO 250Gb (purely dedicated to IL2 BoX. Office and Peripheral Software Only - I put all games on their own SSD (clone UTD Windows, then just install the game)
20Mb RAM
Nvidia GTX 980Ti
Monitor ASUS PG278Q (capable of 144Hz) - but doesnt matter in VR
In game Graphics Set to High, with the following set:
Screen Res (1280 x 1024) - Apparently this doesn't matter as it does not affect the VR Res
Full Screen: Ticked
Enable VR HMD: Ticked
Multi GPU Support: Unticked
VSync: Unticked
SSAO: Ticked (Subjective, some say tick it, some say not)
HDR: Ticked (Subjective, some say tick it, some say not)
Sharpen: Unticked (Subjective, some say tick it, the majority say not)
Shadows Quality: Low
Mirrors: Simple
Distant Landscape Detail: x4 (as specified in the above Terrain.cfg tweak)
Landscape Filer: Sharp
Grass Quality: Normal
Dynamic Resolution Factor: Full (some say .8)
Atialising: None (Subjective, some say x2 - x4, some say Off - all depends if you have Supersampling set to 1.4 and above in SteamVR)
Gamma Correction: 1
The reason I ask, is because I see a lot of shimmering. In the menu (some of the aircraft shimmers/flickers (not all) and in the cockpit, around the instruments).
Watching this enthusiastic user, I don't see any shimmering going where I seem to get it! Frame rates are good in game, and I do like the way VR is going. But the shimmering!
1) Full Res - Unticked
2) Screen-Rsolution 800X600
- NOTE: This resolution is the resolution mirrored to your monitor when the game is playing, it does not refer to the HMD resolution. As such, I run it in a window and keep it low as I'm not playing with anyone watching and it reduces GPU load if I am outputting the view mirror to a small window.
3) VR HMD Enabled
4) Multi GPU unticjked
5) Vsync off
6) SSAO on
7) HDR on
8) Sharpen on
Then
Shadow Quality Medium
Mirros Simple
Distant Landscape X4
Landscape filter Sharp
Grass Quality Normal
Dynamic Res .8
Antialiasing 4
Gamma Correction 1
I do get some shimmering in the menus (i.e. text), but in game it's not something I'd noticed.
I've not changed any of my steam vr config settings (literally just re-installed w10 over Xmas, can't remember if I had previously or not), so all of my settings are "vanilla" (although I may try supersampling again just to see)
I've everything on full whack (ultra, full Distance, shadows, Grass and Dynamic Res) Also have it running 2k on monitor res - Most of Nvidia is set to "Application controlled"
Don't experience any shimmering at all

Also! good tip... press "H" whilst in game to disable the HUD and notifications - boosts frames by approx 15fps
