Thanks!

What does the enabling/disabling sliced encoding (as opposed to leaving it at default) do? I just did a cursory google, but I'm not seeing much on what the function of sliced encoding. I've just had mine on default since having the QP.

Which headset are you using? If you are using the G2, it currently doesn't work in DCS with xrnecksafer.

I’ve only tried .87 so far and only on Enigma’s Cold War, where I’m able to maintain 90fps with all high+ settings. I need to see how it fares on other maps and maybe something like the Hoggit server as well. We both have 4090s and comparable CPUs, I’m surprised you’re not easily hitting 90 on Caucasus

When you long press, you should have the headset on because you need to then click the power off button inside the headset.

I don’t see any point in locking to a low frame rate and not using ASW, especially if your PC is beefy enough to push the QP. Or reducing from 90fps.

Here is the chart for the LEDs. If you're seeing amber, it should be charging, but should be nearly full charge after an hour or so. You are using the charging cable that came with the QP, correct? And are you putting it on the dock to charge while it is still on? I always fully power off the device after use. I rarely use the dock, since the usb-c hub keeps it almost fully charged while I am playing, but the couple times I have used it I made sure the QP was off first. I'm pretty sure you can check the battery status by short pressing the power button while the QP is off, just a quick tap should pop up the battery level IIRC. null

Interesting comment on link sharpening and the encode resolution here: I’ll have to try enabling/disabling the link sharpening while in headset today and see how it actually affects anything on the horizon. The 3600 vs 3905 debate is also interesting.

I'm interested in your findings here if you decide to try to figure out what specific setting is causing the blurriness for you.

Just want to chime again on the whole FOV multiplier thing (I've been using .87) and report that I was still able to maintain a rock solid 90 fps on Enigma's CW server today, this time with 50+ people online and engaged in several dogfights, near active SAM sites, etc. I didn't think I'd be able to play DCS without 45 locked ASW anytime soon (while maintaining all high game settings and MSAA x2), so this is pretty exciting!!

This only happens to me very intermittently, and generally I just restart the headset and it goes away on the next attempt. I still prefer to just use one controller initially, so I can hit the desktop button in the grey quest link area, and then use my mouse to turn on all my apps on the PC via the virtual desktop prior to launching my game. You just have to remember to long press and turn the controller off before you launch the game itself. If this is happening to you every time (it def shouldn't be), maybe just make sure your software is up to date in BOTH the Oculus headset (settings > system> software) without the link cable and then also via the Oculus software on the PC, from the devices tab with your link connected.

I did the same number for both, assuming that is correct. It is "Horizontal; Vertical" (or the other way around, but you get the point lol)

Very surprised (with only preliminary testing) but using .087, I was actually able to maintain 90fps on Enigma's Cold War server, even while in the area of a 3-4 plane dogfight, at high altitude and also screaming around on the deck. Now, there were only like 20 people online in the server at the time, and who knows what other factors would play into that, but honestly very surprising on the initial test. I'll have to try it on a few more MP servers and see if it stays consistent. Thanks for the suggestion!

Can you elaborate a little on what it does?

I mostly just use the toolkit to check fps/cpu/gpu stats, but I'm sure some other folks will be able to help out with that one. It does have a nice sunglasses feature that I will toggle on in certain environments or time of day. I also use CAS sharpening in DCS (I think I am at like 70% right now) but it is pretty subjective on what you'll like the look of. I think it has more usage when trying to eek all the performance/quality out of MSFS, but I don't fly that often enough to provide any setting suggestions. The hub you're looking at is from the same manufacturer and does seem to have the single usb-c connection at the end that shares the data + charging functionality, so my guess is that it would likely work. Worst case, if it doesn't work for some reason, you can try https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kuject-Separate-Charging-Ultra-Durable-Accessories/dp/B09TN25765/ref=sr_1_2?crid=6E0C1YWW1E9O&keywords=kuject+quest+pro&qid=1685702971&sprefix=kuject+quest+pro%2Caps%2C126&sr=8-2 as a second option. It seems to work for some folks, I personally didn't have the best experience with it and the hub option is cheaper, less bulky, and is providing the charging directly to your QP, as opposed to the cable system. Glad you're making progress with the headset!
