IPD set up,but I can't solve it,very confusing
Can anyone help me?

Gday and welcome to the crazy and challenging world of VR.

I use a link cable and an adapter to connect my headset to the PC in order to play MSFS with my headset. It's basically just a long USB 3.0 cable with an adapter. I got both online.

I remember the blur problem with my Quest 2. I got at RTX 1080ti Nvidia card, sold my Quest 2 and purchased a Value Index. I know this doesn't help you. I had the same problem and never found an answer until selling the Quest 2. I have heard that the Quest 3 could be as good as the Value Index but have no experience with it. I just did a MSFS run with the Index at 60 fps in VR. Couldn't be happier. The Index also uses SteamVR which works well with MSFS. Hope you find an answer to the blurry problem.

The Quest 2 is a bit blurry by nature. I had a Quest 2, but used an HP Reverb G2 for sims because it was significantly sharper.

The Quest 3 is dramatically sharper. To the point where I've shifted to using it for MSFS. (Anyone wanna buy an excellent HP Reverb G2 for cheap? :-)

The best advice for getting sharper/faster performance out of the Quest 2 and MSFS is to use Virtual Desktop instead of the official streaming software. It lets you adjust bitrate and other options to get a sharper image.

There are also a number of YouTube videos that go through the best settings for clarity/performance on the Quest 2. Rendering at a higher resolution can make things look a lot sharper.

I am very grateful for the comments!
After that I regret having bought Quest 2

This is good to know. While I have the G2 and I am happy with it, it is discontinued by HP. Now M$ is doing away with Mixed Reality. I may just have to invest in another VR headset this year.

I took it back to the shop, maybe I'll buy the Quest 3, but after this I don't know...
It's a completely different experience flying in VR,more lifelike

After reading up on your intial Post, I looked up on this series of VR Goggles. Apparently the Quest 3 is a lot better. But they're not cheap...

The G2 and other WMR headsets should be good for another three years before MS completely stops supporting them. So you should be okay this year.

Yeah, the Quest 2 came out in late 2020. So that's why there's a lot of improvement in the Quest 3, over three years of further tech development.

The Q3 is better than the Q2 in every way, but it's not DRAMATICALLY sharper (I've got both) - any blurriness is likely a set-up issue, there is a MSFS VR forum at AvSim with several posts on setting up, also the official forum has some good (but loooong) posts.

The key with MSFS is to use the OpenXR toolkit and if possible a wireless solution (Virtual Desktop or Steamlink preferably).
Also sanity check with another sim (e.g. Xplane demo) - I find Xplane clearer in VR.

Make sure that Link Sharpening is enabled in the Quest 2 - if you're connecting by cable. I find the Quest 2 to be pretty sharp at least a lot sharper than the old Rift CV1 I had before.

@Keithb77 - how does Virtual Desktop work?

Was connected by cable
unfortunately there was no change, but it doesn't matter because I took it back to the shop

Virtual Desktop is great. Along with its function of putting the Windows Desktop into VR (thus the name), the more recent versions have OpenXR support, so you basically launch Virtual Desktop on the PC and on the headset, and then when you switch MSFS to VR it opens on the headset.

It also has lots of settings to adjust to your system power and bandwidth, so you can get the best possible visuals your setup supports.

Virtual Desktop works wirelessly without any cable to the headset, but it works best when the PC is connected to the router by Ethernet cable.
It costs money, there is now a free alternative from Steam and from ~~Oculus~~ Meta themselves but VD works best.
