I'm GOBSMACKED! MSFS UK & Ireland Update on QUEST 3 is SO GOOD! REAL vs SIM! RTX4090 MAX VR SETTINGS (2024)

A link to my Wild Atlantic Way motorcycle tour video below. Thanks for watching folks!

Asobo have knocked it out of the park. It's so good I have been limiting flights to WU17 photogrammetry areas. Its spectacular. I don't know how much of the world they could do like this but my god its good! PLEASE PLEASE, more for MS2024!

I recently flew msfs2020 over London to see if I would get any visual issues that may happen with a less than optimal PC but didn’t notice any. I built a new computer in January with a 7950 X3D and an MSI 4070TI I got in Feb 2023. It works quite well. I’ve never been to London but now with MS Flight Sim I have a better idea of the layout if I ever tour the UK. 😊

The blue signs that look like lollipops are especially realistic😂😂😂

totally agree - amazing update!

Thanks for the video, makes me hope that 2024 will have shoreline wave breaks as in your RL video.

Excited for this one..Will fire up the h2 and Aero and go exploring later 😀

Omg that’s stunning photogrammetry work, roll on 2024

Ahh was wondering when you get around to this, you must of been busy lately my friend! Happy that your backyard has finally been given some love. Looks awesome huh :)

Yes, I had the same experience. Much better graphics and a super nice Update. Your motorcycle trip must have been awesome time.

Awesome video, buddy!!!!

The update is absolutely amazing.

Arthurs seat in Edinburgh looked amazing! ..😮
Thanks for the vid Steve
Ps. Loved the ending 😊

Yes, 1st place I tested was London and it is so much better.
I did notice a fps hit, but that could be because I still have orbx London installed.
Probably need to remove it now.

Yep, the update was excellent. For MR, I have both SimXR and 'spitice color panel'. Find myself always now using spitice, as for me it (need just one big area)is much easier/simpler to setup each time you enter the sim. MR has got me back into using VR.

Its a win for everyone. Havent flight simmed in a few montha but those cliffs are surely gna be my first port of call when im back in. Nice montage at the end aswell Steve. Maybe try to sneak in some more at the end of every video 😂

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!

Thank s mate ❤

holy crap, look at those waves smashing up against the cliff....I wish that happen with all waves hitting coastlines but I have a suspicion that these a custom effects just for that small area..oppssss that was real footage... dream on....

That is awesome. I wish I could find the gyroplanes to fly there. But I think they might not have made the MSFS 2024 version yet?

You are brave with your drone Steve, never had the guts to flight over the sea with mine

My home City of Leeds, West Yorkshire (and the surrounding area) is very, very good now.

As a fellow biker, Steve, I can definitely tell that your speedo ( 6:01 ) is set to km/h! 😉😂

as soon as I seen the intro I knew it was the cliffs of moher sorry as you say mower 🤣 as I was just there 2 weeks ago on a holiday

Great video once again mate. Do you have a video with your current settings for VR. I have a 4090 so would be interested to try with what yours is set at?

Excellent update. the pg in London extends to Heathrow which means my flat is in photogrammetry and I can see it plainly, ah wonderful! Cork and Stansted airports in my opinion are payware quality. I love Stansted, just the way the clutter is in places, it looks very good. I was a bit dissapointed with Farnborough to be honest, it's by no means bad, but after 10 minutes scooting around I reinstalled burning blue's version which is great. The Theames to could do with a masking update, this time to hide some unsightly land exposed where it shouldn't be. All in all a fantastic update for fans of the UK and Ireland!

POI key On/Off it´s a must, i don´t think how they don´t add so easy feature...

Beautiful. Can you share your ingame and VD settings for Quest 3, please.

Your drone footage is stunning. Love it and comparing video in the WU17 sim. Do you have any Orbx London addon loaded or just & only new WU17 photogramerty? I believe you never have that loaded I think. Love it. I must also try it without Orbx addon. I do see some mesh issues at the end of runway 27 next to taxiway with Orbx EGLC London City Airport v2.0.0

One thing to note there Steve. The cliffs of Moher is not part of the UK ;)

Sumberg 😂- like Edinberg! 😉

It looks really cool, but sadly I gave up on MS-FSim. I have a 4070 Super and a 13600k, with a cable link to my Quest 3, and I just couldn't get the performance I need to use this in an enjoyable manner. Plus, every bloody time I went to load it up, it need to do this super long update that took forever. Plus, MS upped the cost of their game pass for the PC, so I dropped it. Now that the latest Meta PC app has borked OpenXR, that was probably a good decision.
I will take a look at the new version when it arrives, but having been bitten by the awful thing that was Starfield (I will regret that pre-order until I die), I will be waiting for a solid review from you before deciding if I will buy it or not.

Great PG but they need to work on realistic rivers and waterfalls. Hopefully in MfS 2024

Update is fantastic, Cork is worth a visit!

Imagine! The Alps in this quality

Best update since New Zealand. I do hope they fix the water issues on the Thames however & it's also become quite apparent that many POI's now look a fair bit worse than the TIN versions. Edinburgh & Windsor Castle for example. Would be really useful to disable/enable any POI we didn't want.

It all generally looks very good. But I noticed the "sandbanks" around boats and bridges in the river which are a bit annoying. Hoping to see it fixed, or else I would say the future of flight simming looks great. 😊

It's a beautiful update, the graphical quality of the cliffs is amazing. Are you still using the Nvidia driver 552.44 for this video?

The Cliffs of Insanity! Only Fezzik is strong enough to climb those...

Hi Steve, I don't fully understand why but since getting the quest 3 my varjo is gathering dust.
Looks looks like a sweet match, RTX4070 and the quest 3.

I have to save up some money for all this beautiful stuff.

I’m so tempted to get the quest 3 but my g2 is still going strong is asw a lot better in in q3 than the g2

Great video, Steve! But where is the link to your recent trip? I hope you're enjoying your last days as a "free" man, buddy ! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

Let’s hope it’s a tech demo for 24 🤞

@VRFlightSimGuy Great video. So interested in the Mixed Reality stuff. As a real world pilot who loves VR, I really want to be able to replicate what I use in co*ckpit in my PA32R300, which is an iPad on my left knee running Foreflight (particularly for approach plates) and then a jot pad on my right knee for frequencies/clearances etc. I'm really keen to see if the Quest 3 and SIMXR have enough resolution and minimal distortion, to be able to operate the iPad on my knee (real world). Is this something you could try and explore on a future video?
Currently still on a HP Reverb, but kind of want to know what Mixed Reality headset I need to get to get sufficient performance/resolution for this setup to work.

The bridges over the Thames still don't look right, there is dry land under each of them so that the river seems to be a series of disconnected pools, rather than a continuous flow.

For the first time i can fly over my house and recognise it with my cars the drive.

As someone looking at the VR1 to have MR for my physical co*ckpit, i'm quite impressed with that SIMXR MR on the Q3. Does it have a big impact in FPS, as I notice it's down around 40fps.

Hmmm... I wounder if VD XR would work with my Crystal Light's and its low res cameras? 🤨

Darn, I just completed a full tour of UK/Ireland late last year, plus all the islands. Watching closely over London, am I right; am I seeing dirt under all those bridges crossing the river? It's been a real annoyance for me since I spend 90% of my time flying under 2000ft AGL. Seeing fake roads under bridges and the cars rolling on those instead of the bridge itself everywhere around the world and it even happens on photogrammetry cities! After all these years, I can't believe ASOBO can't figure out how to fix this still! Those cliff shots were awesome though and I think I saw surf rolling into shore? That is another annoyance of mine that I wish they would fix on all coastal shores vs a static photo of the surf. It's even noticeable when I am flying at my typical 500+ knots in a F-35 which is my normal ride to cover large swaths of land down low! Thanks for the video, now I want to go back and explore what's new now!

how do you record with vdxr??? Im running the same set up.

Will it run well with a RTX 4080 super and a AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D as well? Look like a lot of fun to me.

Hi, this is with your Nvidia driver taken back a few? I have the Q3 and a 4090 and there was lots of stutter :(

Hi magnificent your video,
I also have a 4090, an i9 14000kf and 32gb in DDR5 all on a Z790 Gaming AX.
With a very high connection, I use the Quest3 but I can't set MSFS to VR.
Do you have a video or a site to suggest to me to adjust my settings properly.
Thank you in advance.
See you soon.

I have a 7800X3D and an RTX4090, is it worth getting a Quest 3? I have never tried VR but would love to..

So youre using virtual desktop?

any alternative to openxr toolkit, since its crashing my game

Its made Orkney, a place with very few trees, into a forest, very sad.

Did they omit the HMS Belfast at Tower Bridge?

I've tried it but I got a lot of melted buildings in London. I've disabled and erased rolling/local cache but got the same result... Any ideas?

Anyone using this update with any Orbx addons? im assuming at least london might conflict?

It’s uk AND Ireland update buddy.

Did you turn off orbx London city landmarks add on on this video?

Anyone else seen the dev of openxr is stopping with it end of the year ?

In a helicopter, you can spend an hour just flying around a single photogrammetry area.

Are you still running the older Nvidia Drivers?

Do I need to uninstall my third party London scenery addons to use this?

Weird that Microsoft is still investing in a product that will be replaced in 3 months. That said is a good sign that they are committed...❤

Hello Mate, If you can use only 1 headset under 2000USD at this point, what will you choose? please do not avoid my question. I know that you already know the anwer.

Hmm trees look too big again.

Uk Ireland update

London looks much nicer. Apocalyptic is a great way to describe how it looked before, lol. melted nonsense everywhere.

not quite perefect…the sea should be green/brown 😮😅

I think MSFS 2024 is going to be even better.

Still along way to go the water just looks so fake kills the immersion I fly VR 100% in sim whenever around water I am ripped out of the immersion. So many good examples out there in games and sims that have the water looking so much more real, animations breaks of waves on shore would not be much to ask. Your video does show it all off nicely though

why dont my cliffs of moher look anywhere near as good as these? I still have smeared grass textures and no real rocky cliff textures, no where near this level of realism?
