Interesting post. So they should be shipping this coming week. They must be under tremendous pressure with the Rift S releasing. I would wait for may the second or even third batch. :-)

I chatted with HP yesterday and they said it will ship within two weeks and likely the next week. The reason given was priority to the high demand for professional side (not any product issue) which is their primary strategy. I am anxious for someone experienced with VR in DCS to test one thoroughly before I buy. :-) I expect there will be firmware updates for new product issues for a while like the Mura (instead of a screen door effect which is gone there is some slight blotchiness) they have mentioned in some reviews. The latest Tom's Hardware testing with nearly my exact hardware on various VR games was very good. The weak points seems to be the controller tracking and there is still a similar sized sweet spot although the author indicated it was a bit larger. He did mention the vertical FOV was a little less (like around the nose) while the horizontal FOV was very slightly more. I asked the HP repr. to pass on that some of us wanted a headset only option which is not being offered initially.

I do VR primarily but I do display on my home theater on a 82" Samsung QLED 4K HDR TV. It looks great if not a bit large. Very low input lag and FreeSync support plus high motion rate.

I run a Corsair H150i Pro as well. Works great. Make sure your case can handle it.

There were some threads on a batch with bad memory failing as they heated over time.

See below...

The brand new highspeed SLI really did well in 3D benchmarks generally. (60% boost) The previous SLI not so much.

They were testing something that had a 50% improvement. I bet this is it. It halves the cpu time required to process it. Asynchronous SpaceWarp https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/pcsdk/latest/concepts/asynchronous-spacewarp/

I just built mine last week in the signature. Seems to do very well. Even in 4K.

It sounds like the Reverb should be out of the gate B4 the end of April.

Sounds like good advice in the interim. I will learn as much as I can in the meantime. I have a PSVR on a PS4 Pro that I read on here will work temporarily but it doesn't sound worth the effort for a few months. If I get bored I might put together a little chart of the choices. I need pictures.

Just getting on board with the DCS setup and only have a PSVR on a PS4 Pro which may be a temporary solution for DCS until I get a better one. Still researching them. Seems like most have the Rift but the Rift S isn't much of an upgrade. If you were starting fresh like me what VR would you pick for my setup? Anyone do a spreadsheet comparison?

What would you recommend as optimal VR headset for my setup below? My PD is 65 mm. Thanks! Brand new to DCS and only a PlayStation VR at the moment.

It's very easy to measure your PD. Hold a metric ruler across your brow and look in a mirror about 8" away closing your right eye. Zero the ruler to the visible pupil. The switch open eyes and read the other pupil. I am nearly exact 65 mm so the Rift S should be about perfect for my eyes if that is what I decide to get. Since I am new to DCS and only have a PlayStation VR I will opt for the best available. What is the best VR unit available today with the highest resolution available under say $1K USD that my rig can support performance wise? Inside tracking? TIA

My name in Brant. Just built my flight sim PC and installed and tested DCS world after doing some overclocking tweaks. Seems to perform as expected in HD and 4K. I purchased the A10C and F-15 Beta to test and am just getting a feel for the software. I fly RC and am a 500 hour private pilot and flew Cessna's and Pipers for a while. I did a two-seat home-built plane about fifteen years ago and have used flight sims quite a bit but not DCS until now. At this point I am studying the headsets to purchase one and waiting for the Oculus Rift S I think or the Reverb. My PD is 65 mm so it should work well for my eyes. I have a drone RC headset and a PlayStation VR already.
