Further evolution of mechanic part. Both stick and pedals:

@RealDCSpilot May be you could help. I'm trying to setup Tethered USB on Pico but without a success. I've managed to enable tethering on Pico side: And second ethernet connection is visible on Windows side: But no connection to to network visible on Pico side: And VD disconnects immediately when turn of WIFI. The same with ethernet usb-c adapter. When connecteed to Pico it does not see connected ethernet. Android mobile phone see it immediately on conection by the way. What could be a reason?

GeekVR mask arrived. Pico is awesome with it! Excelent FOV. That's what I really see on DCS from neutral position after VR reset pressed. Green is thinner mask, pink - thicker one. There two of them in a set:

Does it work for you? I constantly getting message that key is not supported on last open beta DCS

Walmis is another guy with his own alternative approach to FFB.

My device comunicates with DCS both direct input FFB and with additional telemetry for more precise airdynamic effects. For general description better ask your questions it will be easier.

Printed test version of face mask. Almost what I want. Could be lower even more 3-4mm. FoV increases SIGNIFICANTLY! I do not understand why original mask is so bad. Why not to make lo profile mask from very beginning. Need to redraw mask with lower profile on lower part of mask to produce more correct angle. In current edition it slightly turns headset upward.

Through the lense. Just VD on ultra, 150Mb. SteamVR without any dirty hacks. Why to bother with OpenXR?

Headset PPD. For example. I can compare Pimax Artisan and Pico 4. On Artisan rising any settings and rendering resolution over around 2000px does not give any image quality in headset. Just because screen can not show clear picture even if it is rendered with 4000px size. But Pico 4 even on 2160px showing clear picture with readable texts on MFD in F16. Just because it has enough PPD to show what is rendered 1 to 1. And because of that I can get more clear picture with lower render scale on Pico then on Artisan with higher render scale. So. To get clear texts in cockpit you need to choose headset with higher pixel density on deegree. Hp G1/G2, Aero, Pico 4, Pimax Crystal and so on. You will not be able to get clear texts on headset which PPD is less then 20.

I just wrote it about everybody, not about you first So I was arguing against it

And how it simulate variable force on stick depending on speed of flight and AoA? You can not judge things that you did not try. I work on my devices in pair with the real pilot, flying different types from acrobatic to business jets. And on his opinion FFB stick is the most valuable thing for flite simming. buttkicker is not even close to things that FFB stick and pedals could give in terms of information and feel of airplane.

Do someone have both Pimax 8KX and Pico 4?

It simply that not all of us there could spend 2k $ on GPU upgrade when on other GPU quality could be good enough to enjoy the picture. In ideal world all flight simmers are playing in most modern VR headset on most powerful GPU. But unfortunately we are living in the far from perfect world.

It is on kickstarter yet)) I plan to print something like this https://www.printables.com/model/316629-pico-4-increased-fov-facial-interface-gasket

Wifi - install VD stream app on PC - buy and install VD app on Pico - run streaming app on PC, enter your Pico account name in settings. - run streaming app on Pico, set picture quality - run DCS Profit :)

DCS. RTX 3080 + 5800x3d. Virtual Desktop on Ultra settings(not God mod). Works smooth. Picture is crystal. I think all those influencers are just trying us to sell 4090

RT3080. VD + SteamVR. Works good without any hacks.

My Pico arrived. I do not know how image looks like in G1/G2/8kx, but I can compare with Pimax Artisan. It is day and night. DCS + Virtual Desktop + 150MB. On Ultra(even not god mod) text on MFDs in F16 are easily readable. I do not see any compression artifacts. Definitely need to print new facial interface with slim profile. Original facial interface is weird. FOV with original interface is just not on par. But! I've checked how FOV looks like when to remove face mask and put lenses closer to the eyes. WOW! I was impressed. FOV becomes closer to something in between Atisan's small and medium settings. And picture is clear at 90% of all the FOV as for me. I was very impressed. I think with custom facial interface it would be unbeatable option for the money.

Could you make couple of photos how it looks like through the lens. How readable are gauges in different planes

What do you think about quality of picture comparing to something like Pimax Artisan or Pimax 5k? Artisan has lower resolution but does not have compression. PICO has higher resolution but of compressed video. Will it be picture quality improvement coming form Artisan or 5K to Pico?

How do you p;an to test it? Do you have joystick build on ODrive controller?

It goes well. People building devices their own on firmware I develop. Some of them build from my CAD plans, some adapt it to their needs, some build totally differen mechanical scheme an use only electrical part from my original project. There is FFB pedals project as well based on my firmware. Here are some of them: All of them were built with only litle(or even without) informational support from my side. Software part is evolving too. Because native FFB support is not perfect or is missing in different games I developed a solution for genereting rich FFB effects from game telemetry. Now it supports effect generation for MSFS, DCS and Warthunder. il-2 on the go.

It works based on telemetry. It supports rise of force with speed(natural airdynamic), takes into account prop wash for propeller airplains, has simple spring capabilities(with curve adjustment) and advanced springs based on AOA and G. It also have configurable shaking effects depending on AOA, mechanisation retraction, landing and rolling on ground.

One guy from russian speaking branch of il-2 forum created first FFB pedals! Is future of FFB deviceds coming? What do you think>

As for me the best solution for any kind of modern grips - to use "pass through" approach, when you just use longer cable to native controller. Either VKB, VPC or any other kind. It is the most bulletproof solution. Because modern grips commonly use proprietary not open protocol for comunication, trying to emulate their protocol usually not relayable enough and have different limitations.
