I can't be too much help because I have never tried to get X-Box type controllers to work, does windows see the device as a controller? I saw in the manual for the device some instructions for Windows.

Virtual Desktop needs to connect to your PC via the streamer app. I'm not quite sure of your topology or how you ran DCS without VD connection to your PC. This is how i run mine: I have my AXE5400 on the wall a few feet from me broadcasting only WiFi 6. That router is running as a router, not an access point. It connects via cable to my house network and sees it as the WAN. My Quest 3 then connects to the WiFi 6. That keeps it and the PC on its own network. I have tried ICS with a previous setup and it ran about as well as you described. If you have to run the PC on WiFi, connect your AXE5400 as a router hardwired to your network, then connect your PC and HMD to the WiFi 6. Dont allow any other devices on that network. Forget ICS, it's not good for gaming.

It's really hard to know if they are ignoring the defects or getting hand picked defect free units. I have seen some YT reviews talk about mura, but they also said it wasn't that bad. MRTV said it was very bad on the demo unit and then walked it back when he received his production unit. I don't really trust anybody doing a review that received the unit for free. I'll trust users like @TimSell75 when he says it has mura. i have at least a couple months before mine is shipped to get an idea from real end users what it's like. Then I have 14 days to trial it myself.

Are you going to RMA it? Maybe YouTube influencers are getting hand picked units. I ordered mine last night. If it has these issues, the 14 day trial will end day 1.

Thanks for the replies, I moved this week and everything is still in boxes and my new CPU, MB, RAM, and thermal paste are on my desk. I'll keep the install and do a repair.

So, I'm upgrading from an I9-10900k to an AMD 9800x3D. My DCS install is pretty old, this will be the 3rd reinstall of Windows with the same installation of DCS. Is there any benefit to a clean install of DCS? And if so, can I keep my modules backed up, so I don't have to download for 3 weeks. My priority is VR and possibly upgrading my Q3 soon too.

Take my money! I have loved the F15 ever since I was stationed at Kadena AB working on KC-135 (Tankers, AWACS and Chipmunks), and watching the F15A's sweeping the skies. I loved watching them flyby and then land almost as much as I loved watching the Habu take off.

Same here, I gave up on the USB and multiple adjustments in the Quest software. I found it buggy and occasionally wouldn't connect. VD connects easily every time.

What are you're streaming settings? Those are the important ones because by streaming they mean to your HMD.

I tried it plugged directly to my PC with everything else disconnected and from the powered hub with everything else dc'd. The disconnecting of other devices is a SimApp default, the disconnecting of my stick with extension was the only fix. This wouldn't be much of an issue if the wire connector was more robust.

My Win11 does, under C:\Users\name\ right click on saved games, select properties and then location and move. You may have issues if you just moved it.

No there isn't and that would make a lot of G2 owners happy since its being deprecated. Make sure your on Win10 or not upgrading your Win11 to 24H2 otherwise WMR is going to stop working. Then you'll need that Pimax

With the Q3 you're going to want a new facial interface and head strap. The garbage that comes with the Q3 is so uncomfortable you should add that to the cost. I use a an AMVR Facial Interface and BOBOVR S3 Pro Battery Headset which may not be for you if your planning on USB power as this headset is designed to provide power with WiFi. But I have heard good things about the Kiwi K4 Head Strap I don't think the sweet spot will matter on the Pimax Crystal Light as it is also edge to edge clarity, but the Quest 3 is a more stable product

If you can afford to add the BoboVR S3 Pro, I would add that. It is far more comfortable than the stock strap and adds battery power too.
