Not sure why that guy is running 1.5x supersampling on the reverb. I'm curious how someone will do with a 1080ti. I'm no way buying a 2080ti just for the headset when all I use it for would be dcs.

Yup agreed, not to account for any new bugs that may break something in the interim.

There are now people saying the rift S looks better than the odyssey and odyssey +. I have a Cv1 rift and an Odyssey but I'm skeptical about the rift S being actually better because on paper the resolution is lower on the rift S.

I agree that the wmr software is sometimes buggy and off but I haven't noticed any performance issues with the odyssey running through steamvr. I don't think it would use additional resources since it only renders the image once and maybe like 1-2% utilization to also have the steam vr overlay running. I normally just put the headset on and then launch dcs through the headset. I'm waiting for reverb impressions too before I upgrade though.

Sounds good actually as I have an odyssey now which I have very much got used to the higher resolution. But this sounds like the lenses must be better. I really like the colors in the odyssey compared to my CV1. They seemed much more vibrant. Are the rift S colors similar?

Yea I have three g933 and it's also really clunky so there's no way I'd be comfortable wearing it over the headset.

I wonder how the performance was. I'll need to watch that soon. Sounds like it would be worth waiting for.

Yea without external sensors it needs light in the room to track properly. So if you ever have weird tracking issues where it slides you to a certain position, more light helps those cameras.

People have been saying the same. On the CV1 the way to adjust the ipd made sense and you could tell if it worked or not. I've also used the software ipd in wmr and can't notice much. Unless I use my adjustment dial to set it on the odyssey. The out the cockpit textures on the rift S won't be as good because the headset resolution isn't as high as the other headsets (odyssey and odyssey+, vive pro, etc).

Quest resolution is supposed to be higher and it also seems to be of different quality. But too bad it's not compatible to work with DCS. I'm waiting for impressions about the Reverb since a lot of people are enjoying the rift S.

This happens all the time in my Odyssey and used to happen as well in the rift. Just wipe them with a very soft cloth. It's moisture from the environment and for example when you are breathing, air gets up on the lenses too. Sometimes if the headset is not right on my face the lenses keep getting fogged up.

I actually don't know my ipd but samsung odyssey says it's 62.5 or 63.5. Sometimes I move that dial with my hands by accident when I put the headset on. It's ashame they didn't do a physical ipd adjustment on the rift S. They didn't even use the alignment process they included in the first rift with the crosses it seems.

Good to know it looks better than the Odyssey. I'm holding out until reverb reviews come in though. I've heard enough from here about the rift S that it sounds very decent. I would just have to buy earbuds to plug in because my g933 headset is too bulky.

I know lots of people who said the same for the odyssey. Lots of people are supposed to wear their glasses or contacts with the headsets but they don't. So things may look clearer or better but not by much. If I don't wear my contact lenses I don't see much of a difference between the Cv1 and Samsung odyssey either. Depends how good your eyesight is too :)

Yea I am just asking since I will be choosing between a new headset to replace my Odyssey. Either I go with rift S or I go with the HP Reverb. Seems like HP has been delayed to iron out issues. If the performance on the reverb is similar without having to modify pixel density slider, then I will go with that.

Find it hard to believe that it's better than the odyssey in terms of resolution? On paper the Odyssey resolution is higher. What else made you come to that conclusion?

Hopefully Oculus makes a statement about this. Have any of you reported it to them? The more people raise an issue the faster they may be at getting some statement out there whether a replacement would fix it or not.

From what I remember I can read the DDI's in the hornet without issues on the odyssey. The middle map DDI is also readable but the text could be a different font to make it better. Before I jump to another HMD I still have a long way to go since I'm also waiting for reverb impressions and comparison of the rift S to the odyssey. Seems like the S is performing well even for those that don't have a super powerful gpu and that's important.

Wow this seems like a newer one than what I was using. I'll definitely install it at some point.

There is a cockpit mod that offers new textures for the Rio and pilot instruments in the cockpit. Even in the Odyssey i had to put gamma at 1.9 to make the original readable. With a PD of 1.5.

Cool, will be looking forward to it! I kind of stopped flying for a bit after these new HMD's were announced, that and some of the single player sorties are too long and the odyssey is uncomfortable for long periods of time. It's either rift S or reverb so having these comparisons from someone that has had all of them is paramount.

I'm surprised too because I have an odyssey and I also have a rift CV1. The odyssey resolution is definitely sharper and better than the original rift. I let a coworker borrow my rift and I just use the odyssey now. But now I'm also curious how much better than the rift S is and I'm having a hard time believing it too.

I've felt like I could read the dials and guages in the Odyssey quite well. If you say it's better on the rift S, then I should consider it. I'm also waiting until some people have also tried the Reverb. I have the Rift Cv1 and the Odyssey and I preferred the odyssey compared to the rift in visuals as soon as I bought it.

I've asked the same thing too, curious if anyone got this coming from odyssey or odyssey + even though on paper the res of the odyssey is greater.

So early impressions seem very good so far. I'm just waiting until someone that has an odyssey can try it out. I'd be more comfortable if those impressions were good as well.
