v4.4 VR - No cloud reflections in Stereo

[BG2518]

Title says it all ??

Hello,

I am unable to reproduce this issue. Can you provide a screenshot?

Not sure how to do a screenshot from a VR headset?

Trust me - no clouds are showing up on the water in stereo view or single pass stereo

Hello,

You might want to follow the general debugging steps, then do a full install of v4.4.

If you want to take a screen shot in VR, you do so the same as in the main app: Press the 'V' key.

The image will appear in your \Pictures\Prepar3D v4 Files folder on your computer.

Regards,
Kayla

I got two screenshots:

VR Stereo with cloud reflections

VR Mono no cloud reflections

Preview of the above didn't work based on the instructions for adding screenshots so I fail yet again?

Hope you can see them?

[ananda]

They both look the same to me.

[BG2518]

Really?

Please look at the water on both screenshots a bit more carefully.

Update for LM:
In fact I have now noticed "some" cloud reflections in STEREO that are restricted to the nearfield (limited distance from my viewpoint) and that are so faint (hardly visible). (Not on these screenshots)

Can you provide more details? (GPU, Driver, HMD type, etc)

Thanks,

Many thanks in advance for any help.

However, I do think that the process of producing the stereo view seems to affect the clarity of water generally and thus perhaps the cloud reflections are not being translated through that? Also, if the sea or water is undulating then how can a clear reflection be produced anyway? This is why I said I thought reflections in mono were probably too vibrant/accurate too.

Its feedback!

No so much reflection from undulating water

[BG2518]

Beau,

I did as you asked?

[BG2518]

Please, can I have some support on this issue LM?

Please, can anyone tell me if they see cloud shadows on water in the same way in VR in both Stereo and Mono as I see far less in mono to the extent that I thought nothing was showing up at all (see my first post).

The examples I gave should be clear (please re-review them LM).

The PC specs I gave are as requested by LM.

I have another example of what I'm seeing below.

In this, I think I see a vertical shift of cloud reflections from their correct position in Stereo to what seems to be a far lower vertical position in Mono (and far less clear). I have had to modify the brightness of the screenshots to try to show you. Please try and flip between the two images and try to see what I'm saying.

Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

SORRY

I HAVE POSTED THE IMAGES THE WRONG WAY ROUND AND MY DESCRIPTION IS WRONG ALSO !!!!

PLEASE READ MONO FOR STEREO AND VICE VERSA

It is in Stereo that I do not see cloud reflections so well.
