VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants

I don't think so. Linux has waves raising attentions for years. First it was for hobbyists and for more than 2 decades, there has been a lot of serious business installations and applications on the server side. Personally, I worked for more than 3 institutions running their critical applications based on Linux servers. As for average Joe like me, especially gamers, Linux may be a hard sell. Steam Deck already raises a lot of attention in the past couple of years and it started a "new" market of portable PC gaming devices which many other manufacturers follow. Speaking of DCS and flight sims in general, I don't have the resource to try it myself so I would wait. Not that I have a hard time using Linux, as it has been improved greatly over the past decades in terms of UX, I simply cannot represent everyone and after watching GN's benchmark video, it seems to have some distances to cover to be a true alternative for simmers Steam Box is "around the corner" so I think we shall know soon.

Given how M$ pushes spying, useless AI to regular uses and gamers through Windows 11, I see Linux gaming may be the way to go and until we have SteamOS for desktop, we have to rely on different distro. Oh, speaking of Gamer Nexus

Never mind. Just crazy talking

Crazy idea -- could ED pick this one up and make it great again?

I won't, the video contents did not even mention anything close to the title...I am not questioning if there is any further motive of that YTuber, just be careful.

One video, flight sim related and I am not naming who, says this headset makes "VR Changed forever". I would not agree on this statement at all and it is not fair. We still need the price to justify.

Edit: watched ThrillSeeker's video on Steam Frame, 2 points to note: 1. The CPU is not VR-specific, rather, it is a mobile CPU. This is actually mentioned in other videos but some how I missed it. 2. No handtracking in-box.

Gamer Nexus has a prolong discussion on the engineering behind the Steam Frame. If anyone interested in this aspect, please check it out. The eye tracking part is done behind the lenses, iirc. I am not sure how Quest Pro and Quest 3, they both have it but Oculus (cough) keep the price to be more reasonable (still not cheap, imo) by slashing the margin I for one would not install DCS World, or any serious sims similarly, onto a SD card. From my sad experience from Quest Pro, higher refresh rate may not help with the VR experience, so I still stick with 72Hz on my Quest Pro, but I could be wrong. As for the IR illuminators, I think it is in Quest 2 and there seems to be a lack of discussion on hand tracking without the controllers. IIRC, Linus Tech showed hand/finger tracking while holding the controller. Heat pipe is great but I rarely get my headset too warm but cool headset may be beneficial to electronics efficiency. For those who are into MR aspect of flight sim or racing sim, adding a colour camera, on the expansion port on the headset would be necessary So far from what I get from all the news and reports, first it is really light and it has tracking built-in, unlike BigScreen Beyond 2 and the less expensive edition Pimax Dream Air and SE. And the dedicated port for 6GHz Wifi may be a game changer, but i doubt it can beat Display Port at any time, but not everyone likes to be tethered. Just my £0.02.

Wow! Picking my jaw! Frankly, I thought at first it was some kind of new sound system. Great for cinematic at the very least. Must be fun chasing the clouds. Great also for immersion. Don't be sorry, you have done great services to the DCS World and let the MSFS people jealous.

Lower price or not, we shall wait and see about that. It is good to have competition. As for charging the headset on the fly (pun intended), I have a battery which can put around the shoulder if needed. It uses USB-C and works with my Quest Pro and provides roughly an hour worth of juice, but I never run it from full to dry to find out how long it actually lasts.

Unless for a die hard Stream gamer, I feel there is little so far to be excited about. I recognise SteamVR has improved a lot since then, but it is still some time a pain in the neck. From the interviews I have watched so far, only talks about how the new one surpasses the old SteamVR headset, some time, HP G2 is mentioned but the world has moved on greatly since then...

Pro: 1. About 100 degrees FoV 2. 6GHZ WiFi 3. Foveated streaming 4. No base station needed 5. Handtracking possible(?) 6. Eyetracking 7. Up to 120Hz, 144Hz experimental 8. Light weight 9. Basically it is Stream Deck -- VR edition, may be some non-Steam PCVR capability 10. Pancake lens Cons: 1. Price (at around US$1000?), not competitive 2. LCD only 3. Resolution subpar 4. Sound is not great by default 5. It is kinda a catchup Nothing Quest or Pimax (edit: or Pico) has not delivered, for quite some years. 6. No cable link mentioned from what I have watched so far. IMO. Agree it is a wait-and-see.

Keep up the good work.

In the F-14A (early), it seems that the RWR page tends to jump to the radar page automatically. Is there a way to make any page stay?
