Ok I'm really enjoying single player so far. performance is fantastic on my 1660super, that's at 4K btw
Well, shit :(
Could people please post their hardware+settings when they talk about performance? Assuming it's not just totally broken.

Recommended is 1070 for VR but it's worth a go, you could always refund if it doesn't work out too well.
They've been tough to get hold of for ages. At least for as long as Flight Sim 2020 has been out.
I got mine by a chance browse of Amazon at 2am one night. A bit like quite a few products and pre-orders right now, you may have to put some work in for one.
smooth under all events. it doesnt look native 4k though, but maybe I am wrong on this
Is the fleet battle tutorial breaking for anyone? Seems I was stuck on hitting an invincible target...
At least with Steam VR it seems like people having the same problem with the game being rendered at 60 fps (or lower?) while showing 80 or 90 fps in the performance monitor:

Please tell me you didn't completely botch PCVR performance, devs. It's the #1 most important damn thing. The day 1 patch doesn't come until release time though, right?
Also, is there not an option to go native Oculus through the Steam version? If that's the case, coooommme oooon!

Does anyone know if EA games on Steam support the Steam refund policy, or does that not work with games that link to the Origin launcher? I wanna try this but I'd feel better about doing so if I could refund after 2 hours if I'm not feeling it
I caved and ended up buying it. Played the prologue and the first mission and, yeah, not regretting my purchase at all. This feels amazing, runs amazing (PC) and looks amazing.
I think I'm gonna go through the campaign first to get used to the controls and then I'll jump into multiplayer.

Whilst playing? No. Annoyingly though, the capture does have a few stutters but those weren't present at all whilst playing.
Someone on reddit said if you up your render resolution it fixes the frame rate stutter. I cannot confirm, but just passing the info along.
Great to hear. Thanks!

Also just finished up an online Fleet Battle match, it was quite intense! I really enjoyed the tug of war element to it.
Do forgive the not so legendary gameplay though, it was my second time playing on this specific game mode.

If Epic goes through SteamVR, chances are it's a SteamVR thing. SteamVR is a piece of shit sometimes.
I assume you played on Origin? Maybe there is a problem with the Steam VR version.
VR user on PC without HOTAS? Definitely a controller if you have one available as there are plenty of in-game key bindings.
Using a mouse + keyboard with a VR headset on is certainly possible, but probably not ideal.
Played a little over 2 hours on an Index with a 1080Ti and it seems to be running fine. I don't have any frame data to post but I haven't noticed it chugging or anything like that. Still, I'd love to get my hands on a 3080 or 3090 so I can crank up the SS and make the image a little sharper.
Using an X52 Pro as well and everything was mapped but because they list the buttons as numbers I didn't know what to press for anything. So I just went down the list mapping everything how I thought felt most natural. Also had to invert the Y axis.
This game is what I've been dreaming of for years, I really hope this takes off. I want more campaigns and more MP content.

Yeah, I did.
I've not experienced any issues and that's whilst playing on Ultra/60FPS with a 2070 Super.
North American release was pushed back to 4:00 UTC, or midnight EDT.
Disappointing to find out right as I was sitting down to load it up for the first time.

they decided to make that change less than a hour away from the planned release
cool
Dammit, I was very intentionally 3 beers deep for launch...now I'm gonna have to keep drinkin. I hope I remember what I played tomorrow...if the VR performance issues are real, maybe I won't remember those either.
Any update on the Epic Games Store release time? The launch megathread indicated midnight UTC (5 PM PST) and I don't see it available to buy on EGS yet.
First dive on the multiplayer, regular dogfight as you need Level 5 for Fleet Action, and is almost everything I was hoping for. And although I remapped everything to be similar to the classic controls, the muscle memory and the slighty different things are fucking me up constantly. I need to rethink all this and may try to fit all the important controls on the joystick base (no HOTAS, but the t.160000 has a gazillion buttons there) so I always have the throttle at hand.
I could go without it if we had a "down to 50%" and a "go at 100%" buttons like the old games, but it's alright. The one funcion I'm truly missing is the "target nearest enemy". And I have no idea what "Cycle targets" is supposed to do.
Still, a nice result.

To those playing with HOTAS (PS4) :
Did you keep the controls as is with yaw mapped to stick left/right or did you change yaw to twist (or paddles)?
I can't really decide what I prefer but coming from AC, yaw on twist and roll on stick left/right feels more agile

I don't think I've heard of Steam ever making these calls, especially after seeing other cases of games and DLC releasing early than advertised on the service with no issue.
The Thrustmaster Flight HOTAS 4 probably doesn't have enough buttons to map every function, right?
That was directly from the EA rep. Maybe there was a server issue?
