I only want to say that Today I got a “flash” and tested IL 2 with FFR Active - it’s finally working like a charm !
Tested FFR conservative over 1h at Bodenplatte map and it’s not crashing like before. I can finally enyoy this sim with ultra settings on my “old” rtx 2080ti and PT 1.0 + 100% steam vr res at normal FOV, 75hz.
Nvidia 260.89 , PT .087v2 , FW .295 - 8kx
Wow, I will try it then again. Thx for informing it.
I allways have for IL-2 on my 5k+ vertical resolution about 2200 (2300 max), or else I do not see far contacts. With FFR I will leave current resolution (ss), but I can bump my fps and graphic settings.
Anyway, I love to play other games with large fov and max ffr = max ss!
EDIT: @Yata_PL It is working with conservative settings, but not with more than that. I will test it more in next days to be sure it is always working!
Original (old) message:Yata that does not work for me; I just tried and my game stuck in less than 5sec after respawn 
No, it is not working. With conservative ffr it is better, but it hangs after a while also. Unfortunately.
It is tempting to imagine some IL-2 or pitool update will one day give this possibility, but…
@BrziJoe Do you have the same headset, PT , driver and firmware like myself ?
In my system, it’s working all the time, before crashed after 5 sec.
Mind that my firmware is the newest posted by Sweviver yesterday!
@JoCool @lefufu @a7610783 @Milopapa @blitze please test new FW .295 with FFR active conservative
Did some testing
PiTool Render 1.25, Wide FOV, FFR Conservative and Balanced, SteamVR 100% = instant freeze on loading to cockpit in game.
PiTool Render 1, Wide FOV, FFR Aggressive, SteamVR 100% = Playable but terrible performance on RTX2080
PiTool Render 1, Normal FOV, FFR Aggressive, SteamVR 100% = get airborne but freeze after 5min
Back to normal settings of PITool Render 1, Normal FOV, FFR Off, SteamVR 50%
FFR has been poor in Il2 BoX series for me be it with 8K or 8K-X - No change regardless of firmware.
Can you please post links to the firmware + pitool?
I don’t know why it’s still a nightmare to find these…
EDIT: I guess you mean this?
https://community.openmr.ai/t/8kx-295-firmware-only/34238
yes - FW .295 , PT .087 and Nvidia 260.89
played Today another 1.5h and no crash with FFR Active, my gfx is Asus Strix 2080ti gaming OC
Is 295 firmware for 8kx only?
100 % steam vr with PT 1.0 , normal fov which give me res . ~3800x3200
and yes fw .295 is 8kx only
Might try with FFR on Aggressive with Normal FOV and 100% SteamVR. See how the 2080 takes it.
Agresive IMO is the most problematic
As long as IL2 does not change the rendering mode, the crash is normal. I used to enable FFR on the dogfight server to play smoothly for 30 minutes, but it crashed as soon as I entered the WOL cockpit
WOL cockpit?
20212021
Played career mission Il2 Moscow 109 E7.
On turn in to attack Troops, FFR on Balanced with PiTool 1, Normal FOV, SteamVR 100% Il2, Ultra settings - the game hanged - again.
Till then, on a cool autumn day with no clouds on the RTX2080 I was averaging 50FPS.
I think FFR and Il2 are not a good match. DCS, not an issue but Il2 - never been stable for me.
I dont know why I’m so lucky - ZERO freez here and playing everyday ~ 2 hrs , Single , MP , QM - all maps , just perfect. Meybe nvidia drivers or meybe becouse of stable FPS
You’re just blessed. 
Just starting with my 8Kx and it locks up IL2. I’ll be trying to make it stop that today!
Wish me luck
I just tested this, and while conservative FFR worked for me fine with vanilla clouds, the moment I installed the Realistic clouds mod, it froze on mission start.
A pity, as that was the main reason for me to want to use FFR.
