This processor (i9-10850k or i9-10900k) does not have P and E cores, they use hyperthreading. I used Quick CPU to optimize my i9-10900k when I had that installed. This will help get the most out of that processor.

So far my replacement set have not been losing traction or shutting down to save power as much. I'll try experimenting with hand control and see if that causes the issue.

This is exactly what I have been going through with the Pro controllers, but not in DCS. The right controller especially will lose tracking and the Quest hand will be 6 inches away from the controller. I'll also get a warning in the messages panel that the right controller isn't tracking. Turning off virtual hand controllers decreased this issue but I think your wanting that enabled. The other issue with the pro controllers is that they constantly shut down. This can happen in as little as 5 seconds of not moving them. Mine were brand new inside of 30 days so they are on their way back to Meta via Amazon. My replacement set have not yet shutdown or lost tracking though I have not enabled the virtual hands again.

I use the same topo as @Tomcat388th is using but my router is dedicated. My Starlink router goes to our house router which is an Unifi network with all kinds of stuff on it. But then i have a Cat 6e cable to a TP-Link Axe5400 Triband router. My PC is connected to the TP-link via Cat 6e and then I use only 6Ghz wifi with the others off and only my Q3 connects to this Wifi6. The router is on the wall about 5 ft away. VD works great with this setup. My PC and Q3 also run on a separate network ip range and I hide the WiFi SSID. Considering this is multi NAT, it may not work for PVP. Getting your router as close ti the ISP device (router or switch) is best. But, Starlink is also a kind of double NAT anyway. My PC is not good enough yet for going onto servers. I am looking for a 5090 though. This is my router: https://a.co/d/i9str4T

Well last night I saw the ticker had counted down to 22 hours and so it's probably about 12 hours now. I'll take your @Peedee word for it and fork out the 2 grand for a 5090. Im really hoping I'm wowed. I'll be giving up more than cash to switch. The Q3 has better lenses, is much more comfortable to wear, has better tracking, and does have hand tracking. With the Slugmouse from @slughead Im able to flip switches in my virtual cockpit and that to me is nearly as valuable as the visuals. I have all kinds of buttons on my WinWing gear and i just dont use it with the Q3 and its hand tracking. But, visuals are king, so in switching, I'll be hoping Pimax gets the hand tracking module out soon or that a Leap Motion will work.

So I am on the trial period of 14 days with 2 left. I have dialed in my settings as best I vmcan on a 3080 Ti. Comparing it to my Quest 3, the Q3 is a little better. The lenses are clear with no screen door effect and the colors are also better. I am assuming the PCS can get much better if I had a 5090, but so would the Q3. Maybe not as much, but $1800 plus 2 grad for a 5090 is a lot for only a little better. Also, even though I have upgraded my CPU, I still show CPU bound. How much better will the PCS be vs the Q3 with a 5090?

How is the Leapmotion working for you?

Can someone please educate me on how the Slugmouse works with leapmotion and which versions? I see some on sale on Ebay: Leap Motion Controller LM-010; Leap Motion VR V5. I'm getting a Pimax Super and don't want to give up on the Slugmouse. TIA

I saw one on eBay yesterday when I was price checking the G2. I think it was $75 USD. Most of the used G2's were $150. Shipping to Australia though might be a problem to as shipping costs are high. Maybe look on the used market in Australia. I think I have V2 R2, or something like that. I don't recall exactly. Found it, ships to Aus too https://ebay.us/m/WZwY8m

Controllers have worked in the past but things change, and both Meta and ED have changed over this past year. So will they work, maybe. The better question is why bother? DCS is not designed with VR controllers in mind. My suggestion is get yourself an inexpensive HOTAS off eBay or use the keyboard and mouse.

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.
