This is confirmed fixed and looks great now!
I experience the same problem of low resolution skybox in VR it's very distracting and ugly. This was immediately shocking as soon as I started playing in VR and it really ruins the VR experience for me. It's even disorienting in VR. All the furthest background elements are impacted in all flights in VR: stars, clouds, planets, etc... Whereas the pancake version of the skybox looks stunning on flatscreen, the art really conveys emotion and helps gameplay with orientation. Please fix this ASAP, it seems super easy to fix.
I tried all combinations of many settings, both in SteamVR and directly in game, of super sampling, antialiasing and sharpening but nothing solves it.
It's really a far cry from the much better resolution of the skybox in Elite Dangerous in VR whereas on flatscreen Elite Dangerous's skybox resolution doesn't look better than Star Wars Squadron's skybox resolution on flatscreen.
Installed the EA Origin store version, not the Epic store, not the Steam store.
