That was fun! The card box my Aero arrived in had now to be the imposter of the central keyboard unit and the border of my desk had to act as the lower row of buttons on the MFDs. Worked quite well, lol. It will be a nice project for my holidays to implement a more permanent solution
For now another tip is to rest the arm against your legs or body while you manipulate controls with your virtual hand. I can not explain how this physical anchoring technique works exactly, but it gives a nice phantom sense and presence in the now less virtual environment

9 minutes ago, A.F. said:
If you mainly fly the F 16, build a mockup of the panel. Cover this with soft foam. This will give you haptic feedback when you press a button on the MFD.
This is another massive increase in immersion.I will try this with a quick cardboard mockup soon.
soon = now :-))))

Enhancing My VR Flight Sim Experience with Leap Motion on Varjo Aero
Introduction: I recently integrated the Leap Motion controller with my Varjo Aero, and I'm excited to share my experience and some helpful insights with the community.
Setup Challenges & Solutions: The first hurdle was the short USB cable that came with the Leap Motion. To fully utilize it with the HMD, a longer USB cable is essential. (USB 3.0 significantly improves tracking versus USB 2.0 tracking.)
F16 vs. F18 Experience: In my simulations, the Leap Motion truly shines in the F16 cockpit. The OpenXR touch points are more responsive and well-placed than in the F18. The side stick design in the F16 also makes accessing front controls easier, enhancing the experience.
Tracking Performance: OpenXR vs. Ultraleap: When it comes to tracking, I’ve found OpenXR tracking (DCS VR Tab) to be superior to Ultraleap (DCS Special Tab) tracking, offering better touch points and fewer bugs.
Practical Usage: During flights, I primarily use hand tracking for front panel controls and MFDs. It's exceptionally immersive in the F16. For startup or side panel operations, I switch off VR hands with a HOTAS button and use a mouse positioned conveniently to my right.
Beyond Expectations: Initially skeptical, I've been pleasantly surprised by the Leap Motion. It's not just a novelty – it's an immersive addition to VR flying. It just amazing how easy and natural feeling it is, to push the MFD buttons with the virtual hand versus placing the mouse pointer over the button.
Your Thoughts? Have you tried a similar setup, or do you have tips to enhance the VR flight simulation experience? I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

and the jittering is the same?
-
Every ear is different
-
I have a quite a few good headphones (over the ear included). I do not think the aero ones are that bad in comparison. They are really a good option as well in my opinion.
They are a comfortable lightweight option especially.
-
I like the in-ear headphones with microphone that came with my varjo aero.
And I think they are the best for DCS
-
I ordered a leap motion for the fun of it. Which airplane works best for you guys?
I am not expecting a perfect solution right now (I have read about the existing limitations and problems). I just think it is a cool product I want to support this kind of development and experience it myself for the immersion.

Ich hab den Regler meistens auch rechts (3080 & 5600). Weiter links = kürzere Ladezeit, dafür lädt er halt während dem Flug nach. Perfomancemäßig kein großer Unterschied bei mir.

It is working again.
I also had to change the IPv6 servers in the router to the google DNS servers to make it work again.
-
It worked till a few hours earlier, nothing changed on my side.
Restarted ADSL Modem
Changed DNS server to 1.1.1.1
DCS and everything else on the internet is working as intended
DCS Website shows servers active

Does other software run ok with your Quest right now?
(I ask because when I crash at DCS start my HMD is not connected correctly.)

PC Specs:
Windows 11
4090 FE
128 gb ram
Ryzen 5950 x
ASUS Darkhero VIII
Reverb G2DCS settings:
Running OB Multi Thread
MSAA x2
No up scaling
All settings high expect view distance - medium
Motion Reprojection on - unlocked
FPS 45 fps to 30 fps.Low level flight with Apache can be jittery - therefore, this request for advice!
What render resolution are you using for the G2? Try to reduce the render resolution.
-
Try a lower render resolution and check if this improves the jittering.
-
The Varjo Aero 45 Hz sync without reprojection is smoother than the 60 Hz on my Reverb. I like this 45 Hz mode a lot.
But you can not compare Hz from one headset to the other directly. There are so many factors influencing the experience: display, ...
-
I lost my Reverb due to cable issues. HP did replace it. The replacement did develop the same early warning signs. HP not continuing the Reverb. I would not recommend a used one.
-
I would not recommend a used Reverb G2 due to the cable issues of the Reverb.
-
Reverb G2 is discontinued. What about a Quest 3?
-
your 10700k & 3090 is not too far off my 5600 & 3080
I am very happy with the varjo aero

Dear Don,
Not a long time ago I had a few great meetings with my uncle. On our last meeting, after his more than 30 years battle with cancer, when we parted he said to me: "bis bald".
"Till soon", Don, I am glad to have shared the time, the virtual space and our great hobby with you.
Thank you Don.

These settings also seem to improve the issue for me combined with my original vsync and fullscreen setting. (I also created a 90 refresh rate mode for my monitor).(But perhaps it is not related at all and the issue is appearing different randomly on every run, the number of test runs is still low, I will update again after more test runs)
After further test runs, the settings seem not related

problem:
I have the same flashing in the F15E only when the TPOD is on display.
workaround:
I also have found a setting that solves this problem for me (I have 1 flash during a 15 min flight with vsync&fullscreen versus a flash every few seconds with vsync&fullscreen off).Please report your results, do these settings reduce the flashing for you as well?
next steps:
I suspect the vsync setting is the main contributer to reduce the flashing. I will test other combinations and modules and report my findings.After further testing the flashing seems only related to TPOD on or off (TPOD video that is)

I am not so sure my 5600 would be good for 90 FPS even with a 4090
-
1500 < 2200
(Aero + 2 Base Startions) < (4090)
4090 not necessary with Aero @ 45 FPS, that is the point
... And with all due respect an RTX 4090 outclasses an RTX 3080 when it comes to VR performance. ...
It should at double the price
With a 4090 I could probably use high textures instead of medium. Else I would experience no difference at 45 FPS.
(Ok, increase the resolution a few percent as well
)
Ultraleap / Leap Motion Controller 2 / Handtracking Enhancing VR Experience
in Virtual Reality
Posted
I am using the leap motion controller 2. I can not compare to another version.
I compared USB 3.0 versus USB 2.0. There is a big difference on the leap motion 2.
