kinda agree, but why is fine in space, even in supercruise now?
feedback from released horizons using VR please...

Not in the SRV. I have not looked at FPS but the bars in the SRV roof are definitely not VR FPS friendly!
Look at 17:12 and watch the frames while I look up!

I tested many different planet environments (during planetary landings) and no problem. Slight fps drop is perceptible near planetsides (farms, ports - only on planet surfaces...), but still good enough.
After next 3 hours of testing, I didn´t changed any setting. So my previous feedback and setting is still recommended. Your CPU is definitely a bit unusual for today´s
gaming, but I´m sure that waiting for the final CV1 or VIVE is wise decision. Definitely: NO RUSH.

Am I the only one who thinks the new spherical UI plane looks terrible? After recentering, my head isn't in the center of the sphere which defeats the purpose of having a sphere in the first place. The sphere is too small and a little in front of me, which means the corners of the UI are closer than the center and not perpendicular to my head position. I guess I could roll the chair back, recenter, then roll forward to position.
It also appears to be made up of about 10 polygons so there are big creases in the middle of some parts of the UI. The curve in 1.4 and earlier looked fine. Wish they had stuck with that.
The game is basically unplayable for me now anyway (i7 4770, 780Ti). I had most settings to min and it was smooth everywhere (except the super cruise issue) but now I get less than 75fps pretty much everywhere and about 10fps on planets. Seems the game will now get shelved until I can buy a new video card.
Will going to non-horizons 1.5 give me the old performance back?

Have you seen the performance I get with my 770, almost maxed out? Give it a try, maybe this will help you, until you get a new card:

I must confirm that ELITE Dangerous + Horizons in DK2 is something that everyone should try. For my part: it is the best game of all time, period because of DK2. DK2 and ELITE Dangerous is a massive virtual reality experience. You are not playing a game, in fact you are THERE. I was also worried a bit about the performance and FPS impact, especially with regards the mininum recommended hardware spec. Fact is that Nvidia GTX 980 is actually overclocked GTX 970, so nothing special, it´s in fact still the same card with regards the actual performance boost...
My spec as follows:
CPU: INTEL CORE i7 970@2.93 GHz 3.06 GHz
RAM: 16 GB
VRAM: ZOTAC GEFORCE GTX 970
OS: WINDOWS 7 - HOME / 64-BIT
OCULUS SDK: 0.5.0.1
PRIMARY CONTROLLER: HOTAS TTHRUSTMASTER WARTHOG
SECONDARY CONTROLLER: XBOX 360 GAMEPAD (SRV)
Nvidia chipset setting (in Windows): DEFAULT
in Game graphics setting: PRESET ULTRA
Custom optimization SHADOWS OFF, AMBIENT O. OFF, AA OFF, SUPERSAMPLING: 1.0
According to my hardware and listed optimization, the experience is silky smooth, no single issue and no matter where and when. Even the ride in SRV is totally smooth on any kind of surface I tried yesterday. I´m sure that when I will play a bit more with the windows nvidia custom profile, I can boost some performance or picture quality, but now... I prefer to play a game instead of fiddling with graphics. I also confirm, that I´m running default DK2 drivers (0.5), no external mods needed. The AA setting is not so important in DK2. I learned that when I turn the AA off, the picture is much sharper in DK2, hence the AA - ON makes this game in DK2 a bit fuzzy - especially small assets and fonts. But it depends on personal point of view. As soon as the HTC VIVE and OCULUS CV1 will be out on the market I will start build my new computer. But Now? It is not neccessary at all. SEASON 1 HORIZONS is simply the best now!
Wow! Ive been out of the loop for quite some time now.. Installed Horizons couple of hours ago. Just had a quick look at your post . Very promising! I applied your settings and it seems really nice. Granted I have only fired up Horizons to check my performance while docked, but man is it smooth. Typical, work just called and I gotta run. Will test more tomorrow. Anyways, thanks for posting this ruksak!
I've used runtime 0.5 on Windows 10 - works fine.
I just saw my Conda in OR DK2 for the first time - worth the whole day I spent on it. I've seen that some others have got the Oculus 0.5 Runtime working under Windows 10 but I think there was an update to W10 in November that messed it up for many. My plan worked at least so at least it's something that works.
I've kept Win 10 and RT 0.8 on my primary drive
On an external drive I'm running:-
Windows 8.1 64bit
Oculus Runtime 0.5
Oculus Firmware 2.12
Nvidia 361.43 on a GTX 980 card
Elite dangerous installed also
So now I just hit F7 at startup and choose whether to boot as normal or boot from the external drive. I'll probably copy the drive over to my external SSD when I get back home so it's faster and more reliable.
I'm pretty happy with this solution as it means I can keep my primary system up to date for everything else.
If anyone can tell me how to get 0.5 Runtime working on Windows 10, I'd be interested to know how.
Cheers

It is actually running pretty good a little less detail than when I was running 0.5 but not a huge difference on 0.8 definitely a lot easier to run just open voice attack and launch the game from the FD launcher and playing in about 60 sec. Did my first landing at a base El Capo or something like that. Picked up a mission to recover a downed pilot on the planets surface in an escape pod worth over 100K. Took off and flew over the planet in circles away from the base at about 4K height till I saw the place of interest circle come on my radar set the ship down in there and launched the scarab. Took about a half hr but found the escape pod the problem was I deployed the cargo scoop on the scarab and it would not pick it up. Spent another half hr trying to pick the stupid thing up and simply will not, what a waste. Game is still buggy.
