DCS OpenXR Quickstart Guide for G2 and other WMR headsets

After running DCS in VR using OpenXR instead of SteamVR, with some minor tweaking, IMHO the image quality and colors are much better than SteamVR. In fact DCS through my G2 has never looked better. And - I haven’t had a single crash in VR yet, which is quite the contrast to how buggy SteamVR/DCS has been lately.

Edit: Has anyone tried this in another sim besides MSFS? I’d really like to see how it looks with Assetto Corsa.

Initially, it seemed on the dull side, but I bumped Gamma to 3.0, and in the OpenXR ToolKit, bumped contrast to 51 and brightness to 55. The contrast setting is very sensitive, so if you move it to something like 55, anything gray scale turns to black. I’d like to know what others have found.
