Is it just me or is AA in Odyssey VR getting better?

I spent a little while recently in Horizons... just because and then went back to Odyssey - resigning myself once again to the cr@ppy AA and then played for awhile thinking that it wasn't as bad as I remembered - whatever... I carried on playing. Went to dock at my carrier where the aliasing on the landing pads is usually horrendous in EDO, and noticed that it too, didn't seem to look that bad.

At this point I thought I'd take a gander at my graphics settings. Imagine my surprise when I found that not just SS x1.0 and HMD also left at x1.0 but also that AA was switched off. Yet the in game AA 'seemed' to look really good! I, stupidly, even had a moment where thought I needed to check whether I had loaded EDH by mistake.

Loaded up Horizons again and then flicked back to EDO and AA is good enough that I struggle to see the difference with EDH. IDK if it's something about OpenXR or just my build but on the other hand OpenXR is also running for EDH. Weird... and not complaining at all.

Is it just me?

If you're comparing the AA to the same settings in horizons then you'll realise that actually AA had always been broken in horizons as well. Due to the less demanding nature of horizons, higher supersampling used typically by people however and some of the simpler models the issue is just less noticeable.

Not true, at least not for me anyway. I never had to push SS on EDH like I did on EDO, otherwise I would've clocked that some years ago.

Not for me either.

Tried SMAA, FSAA and off this morning.

Off was shocking, FSAA was less shocking and SMAA the least shocking but all still shocking. Much worse than EDH.

And the shadows still flicker.

I am seeing a big improvement, but propably due to RTX 4090 with max settings and 150% Steam VR settings on HP Reverb G2.
