How is the heat ? If I don't run a fan my unit gets really hot. Also, are the actual cables the same ? From what I saw the only fix was some sort of clip you put over the connector ?

Is there any roadmap item to adding wing vapors to DCS ?

btw, I get the wierd 'lightning' flashes when I try to turn SteamVR up to 150%. I tend to just keep it at 100% I do get wierd behavior when I change the "motionReprojectionMode" setting. Sometimes the headset doesn't render the steamvr room after that - just dark with the white dot. So I have had to reboot computer/unplug device

ok, I will try as well. I don't get much jaggies with MSAA 2x on (I kept mine down to 100-108 as I didn't notice much difference and figured I was just causing more overhead)

I hope this is the case, I'd trade mine in for a replacement, but I don't want to send it in and then just sit and wait for the new one's to arrive

There isn't a PD setting there is just the slider of %. Basically something like this: https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=201961&d=1547316402

What is the point of running at 180% on SteamVR ? ie. I run DCS PD 1 and 100%. Looks great

You'll have to experiment, but I can pass along a few things that worked for me for Odyssey and now Reverb: 1. PD at 1. Basically you're going to let the SteamVR SS handle more. 2. I enable MSAA 2x and turn down ground textures, completely turn off shadows. The MSAA for me was that I was still getting 'jaggies' - I need to retest this with Reverb, I had left it on for O. 3. I set my SS - for Odyssey I had like 200%, for Reverb, 100-104%. Rest might be resolution. ie. Odyssey (OG) I had SDE. Reverb, extremely little and if so really unnoticeable. Index is less resolution than Reverb, more than O, so I would expect you'd see some SDE ? I get mostly a rock solid 45 fps. (I am using the auto, motionvector) setting which 'caps' it at 45 even though when I turn that off, I'm actually getting more like 60 fps I believe - need to double check. I get better/same performance from my Reverb than my Odyssey I think 9700k OC to 5, 1080ti.

Not saying I won't have issues, so bear this mind, but I did get my consumer version and I haven't had any issues yet. (this was ordered from Amazon last week) Couple of things: 1. I immediately did the 'cable tie mod' - as well as taped the connector so it wouldn't move - I can sorta see why this is an issue because the cable is quite heavy compared to previous VR units. (I sit the whole time, but if I was to play a VR gaming standing up, etc.... I'd probably recommend some sort of 'belt' or something to help relieve any pressure there.) 2. I did put a small fan to help - I do notice the units gets warm 3. I do have a new system, new motherboard, new power supply - so I should check my mobo but I don't think I have any 'power' issues.

Yes it is - I have mine on 'auto' - I might try this. I believe auto will kick it in automatically ?

I'm running OC 9700k at 5 and then a 1080ti card. So this VR is amazingly good. I like, refueling in F15 I could barely make out the refuel lights, now they are very clear. I have the cable ties in, hope this works out...

O+ also has adjustable IPD. I have used both O and O+. O definitely is grainier and not quite as vibrant colors. In terms of reading gauges, I didn't really see a big difference. Rift S did do better with reading gauges than the O, less grainy, put in terms of overall view distance I didn't notice much difference at all. (update: just fyi - I ended up returning the Rift S, still using my OG O - waiting for Reverb to try next)

When people post what their SS is, I'm always curious along with that what the PD is. ie. I've gone back and forth, and in order to not 'double up' - I found it looked best (and performed best) when I just put PD to 1.0 and used the slider. I also found MSAA at 2x helped. That is all with the OG O, so we will see what Reverb is like

Is there a OVGME mod for this ?

I grabbed one (from Amazon, not the other place) - at very least I can see if I like it. If I have issues I can return it - if I like it, I'll get a new one later, if I don't like it, oh well. There aren't really any more options, and I hate to wait and then go through this same thing again... I did want the pro one though to get the leather - wonder if it's something I can swap out later

Are these fixed units ?

I am - not really a choice, it's backordered everywhere

that is good news.... I'm ready to hand them my money if they would send me one :)

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/43948-reverb-new-offering-from-hp/page/10/ on the bright side, this means they are fixing it, so that is good (I'm also hoping to hear something about the Cosmos... in particular it's price point)

ugh, this is testing my patience... I want one now :)

I also require 2x to avoid tons of shimmering, bad lines, etc...

Anyone try this out yet: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4507453/windows-10-update-kb4507453 "Addresses an issue that may cause Mixed Reality users to see a tilted world after connecting their headsets. Addresses visual quality issues some users may have seen with Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) headsets and Steam®VR content. "

I've found the issue to be when I have other windows on top of the dcs game, toggling out and then back and I lose the mouse.

Distance spotting is not nearly as nice though???

They need to seriously redo the comfort level on the Samsung, it's a disaster.
