Thanks, well noted! Looking forward Multithreading became started by default soon.

My own option: I support Unified version which I don’t have to maintain 2 bulky versions on precious SSD or wait for months till a stable version released. And when ED notified the “planned” update, which did come with “subject to change”. It ‘s unusual to see a planned SW released on time given its nature. Looking forward next release!

DP connectivity, high res display, eye tracking? Hope this year Pimax 12K could be released without those short-comes as Crystal has. Bulky & weight is still something they should consider to improve. If they did well, a price tag of $2000 won’t be too hard to swallow as this PCVR market is so niche.

Got it. So 7800x3D should be still decent till 5090 coming. Decided to skip 4090 anyway. Wish new engine upgrade to Vulcan could make 3090 alive again sometime next year.

Thank you for sharing. That eased my anxiety :-). Will focus on enjoy a bi instead of twitching all the time.

Thanks a lot. You are right. It's very smooth and just feel very strange to see it's CPU(7800x3D) bound instead of typical GPU. Yes I could switch on or off with ASW as you instructed to see the real fps by changing different setting. Just wonder why 7800x3D is so easy to bound performance, given I don't have a 4090.

Something wrong with "CPU bound" while it shouldn't. Anyone experinced simiar issue and solved it? After upgraded to 2.9 stable, toggled those new features back and forth and the smoothness is impressive. But FPS seems locked to 36 when entering into any maps and kept same even I switched off those new features of DLAA or SSS etc, and set all CPU loaded setting to minimal. Checked DCS internal fps counter, showing CPU bound (main thread). It was always GPU bound with same rig in past 2 yrs. BIOS/drivers are latest. I must have messed up something with config. Don't wanna bother anyone before my own homework. Thought I saw someone encounted similar issue but I could find it out after a full day of search.

ED just released 2.9 OB w/ DLSS/DLAA/SSS which is huge improvement besides MT released earlier this year. Believe Vulkan is their next big thing! And they seem not likely to share a timeline in advance. More realistic wish could be having stable 2.9 released with major bugs fixed in a few wks. Then Vulkan by yr end, or 1Q’24.

Honestly to say. Q3 is far from a perfect headset for DCS. Aero or Crystal could be a step closer. But since those 2 (w/ 1000-1500 price tag) are far from perfect as well, around $500, Q3 might be the best one for now from a major OEM. Would like to use it till next gen PCVR released (at least in a yr or two?) No matter the feedbacks on actual experience, the fact is we don’t have a lot of options in the market yet. So I just “blindly” pre-order it… anyway it’s better than Q2 which quite some people are using it with DCS today. FYI. That’s just my logic.

@sze5003 will arrive mid Oct or so. Also mainly spend time on flight sim w/VR. But my pc rig is in another city so have to start from standalone before taking it back home later this month. Yes I will try anyway with my PC and let you know how it goes. Before that, guess we could see others’ feedback.

Ordered 128G mainly for PCVR, and occasionally standalone for a few titles. Will see how it works out…visual/performance etc. Selling out Pico4 very soon.

I also planned to buy QP replacing my Rift S to utilize my investment in Oculus(Meta). But its low spec of resolution and lack of DP connection pushed me to Pico as it’s so damn bargain v.s.even significantly reduced $1000. Anyway this gen is for transitional use. Looking for next gen…

Just recall when iPhone released, so many people said it’s bad idea to remove a keyboard from a cellphone…”who wanna input on a pcs of glass? It would fail by doing so.” True, a tech evolution could failed to make a chance. And many more cases failed v.s. those succeeded. But it’s better to give a try or just wait for others to try out with open mind before drawing a conclusion. Or we never know what we had missed in improvement.

True. If sales of 42” or 50” flat TV were zero back then, there won’t be affordable flat TV today at so damn low price for all of us. Bless all cutting edge tech could fly in sales without complaining.

I have owned one from Next Level Racing. Flight sim version is Flight Simulation Lite. Foldable and decent quality. You may find it under $300 while it depends where you are living.
