I'm with you, I get lots of eye strain if I don't have the IPD dialed in. I think this varies greatly person to person.

Outstanding work, Lynx!

HP's Reverb VR Pro Headset Eh, I highlighted both of HP’s biggest shortcuts on the Reverb (and what I feel are clearly it’s biggest shortcomings vs its current competition), not sure where the issue with that is? If you want to circlejerk without interruption, with no opposing thoughts, opinions or questions, go to the HP forums and do it there. The fact of the matter is there is no perfect HMD available and it’s all about making a decision on which option you’re willing to trade off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

110 FOV...

Right, it’s 100% a cost cutting measure and inferior to a true mechanical adjustment. Sadly Oculus continues down their cost reduction for the masses path and is doing the same with the S: https://uploadvr.com/oculus-rift-s-ipd/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

HP's Reverb VR Pro Headset I’ve read numerous places that there is no IPD adjustment and the company has said “the sweetspot is big enough, you don’t need to be able to adjust it.” Guess we will need to wait and see, but if that’s the case, some people on the upper or lower end might be left a bit disappointed. Hopefully if they are taking that stance, there’s a software level adjustment for all users. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fixed IPD and such a narrow FOV still...I can’t wrap my head around all the interest in this one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You have ASW on in the Rift software, so if you're not getting 90FPS (which you never will in the current version of DCS bc it's so terribly optimized), it locks you to 45FPS for smoothness.

Correct, and hopefully we will see a fix for this soon. DCS is one of the few games that still requires Parallel Projection to be ran. Given Wags' post in the OP here, from quite a while ago, stating that ED and Pimax were working together, one could have reasonably assumed things would have been more buttoned up from the start.

My O+ always ran fine in MP with pretty aggressive settings. My Pimax 5K+ on the other hand, I will 100% need to upgrade to a 2080Ti to achieve the same. But on topic, $599 for a HMD with no IPD adjustment? No thanks.

Look at my rig, equal to or greater than your across the board... I get 20 FPS online. Maybe 30 when lucky in SP. 2100/6000 on the GPU, 5.1ghz on the CPU. Good luck.

The manual.

Buckle up and prepare for a glorious 15 to 20 frame per second experience like you've never had before! :thumbup:

Can you post a link, if handy? I can’t seem to find that thread, but definitely curious to read up. Thanks man! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bugeye (and Aerotronics) throttles are priced many multiples higher than $1K (and they don't sell for home use), so no point in continuing to reference them as comparable replicas really.

My current one, including sourcing my own buttons, cost $1525...so, yes [emoji2373] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You will need one HTC Vive Lighthouse for tracking, without it you will only have 3DOF. You'll only need one, people with two generally do so for full room tracking, etc.

Would you mind posting your settings? Just got mine a few days ago, similar hardware and I’m not seeing as solid of performance. Would like to give your settings a look and see where I might be able to better adjust. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the best ones, aka Slaw RX Vipers https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/09/thrustmaster-tpr-is-the-king-of-mass-market-flight-sim-pedals/

fpsVR app from Steam. I think its $3-4, but it's amazingly useful. It will also show you which piece of your hardware is causing your bottleneck (CPU or GPU) :thumbup:

I preordered on day one (Oct 27 2018) and my 5K+ arrives today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The space for pedals? You don’t have a floor that your feet rest on when sitting in your computer chair? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct. Which means people should buy rudder pedals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
