I am a long term G1/G2 user. I recently bought a Quest 3 along with a Kiwi H4 headstrap and Kiwi link charging cable. In spite of several weeks of fairly extensive tweaking I never got the Q3 to perform as well at the G2 and found the image quality, whilst excellent close up to be inferior when looking out of the cockpit. Also I had repeated occurrences of the dreaded water/debris in charging cable error which filled the screen and required fumbling for a controller to remove - typically at the most inopportune times whilst flying or racing! As an alternative I tried Virtual Desktop using a dedicated access point that runs at around 830Mbps which I though seems decent but some research show proper gaming routers are well in excess of. As the return window got closer I ended up returning it, the Oasis driver was released and the G2 is running nicely with Windows 11 24H2, so all good. However, reading reviews where people describe the Q3 as an upgrade I can't help feeling I missed a trick somewhere. Virtual Desktop was very poor compared to the link cable, so presumably a router/access point upgrade is necessary. What recommendation are there? Compared to the G2 the Q3 link cable wasn't as smooth. That said I find SteamVR motion reprojection smoother than the Microsoft one so always ran OpenXR with SteamVR as the runtime (maybe unusual?) Visually as mentioned I found the Q3's pancake lenses brilliant at displaying gauges and edge to edge clarity but the distance stuff seemed more blurry than the G2. A prime example is taking off, the runway looks detailed close up but halfway down suddenly turns into a blurry mess. Maybe it is because the image is so clear the LOD changes look more apparent. Again am I missing some settings in DCS, nVidia control panel or something else to make this less apparent? It is also especially noticeable in sim arcing where the track is great in front of the car but terrible in the distance. Is any of this fixable or am I limited by the compressed image over USB compared to DisplayPort? I appreciate VR can be quite subjective and maybe the G2 suits me more than the Q3 but was interested to hear from those who have had both specifically relating to DCS.

Thanks to MBucchia!

Hey, Love DCS VR, but I hate the tiny sweetspot of the G2. Furthermore I would like to replace mouse-control by any pointer system or handtracking. And G2 will not be usable in future to missing WMR support? Should I go with the Quest 3 with handtracking now - is it a great upgrade or should I wait for next generation of headsets with eye tracking? Thanks 4 your thoughts

Hi there, I just want to share my experiance upgrading the system as the results are quite impressive. As the title says, I upgrated my GPU. Before I did so, I created a small session in Afghanistan and recorded the replay with MSI Afterburner before I made the changes. Afterwards, I run the same clip recording again with MSI Afterburner. These are the results: AMD 6900 XT 23-05-2025, 17:14:30 DCS.exe benchmark completed, 5091 frames rendered in 74.281 s Average framerate : 68.5 FPS Minimum framerate : 53.5 FPS Maximum framerate : 92.9 FPS 1% low framerate : 39.8 FPS 0.1% low framerate : 39.7 FPS RTX 5080 24-05-2025, 15:38:24 DCS.exe benchmark completed, 12052 frames rendered in 77.281 s Average framerate : 155.9 FPS Minimum framerate : 125.4 FPS Maximum framerate : 197.8 FPS 1% low framerate : 39.4 FPS 0.1% low framerate : 22.1 FPS Honestly, I did not expect this increase of performance. By test sites I expected about 80%plus, bus this is now 127% plus. I am playing 2D in 4k. My CPU is a AMD 5800X3D, 64 GB DDR4 3200 RAM, X570 Mainboard I know this a very short "test" and would not fulfill verbose analysis. Just one run - in Afghanistan in a F/A18 from inside and outside, no other planes and just ~75 seconds. However, I think this can help one or another when thinking to upgrade. @ED It would be great to have a common benchmarking function to get more reliable results across the whole community. Kind regards Limaro Benchmark_Afgh.trk options.lua

Hi everyone, Does anybody know a good 3D printable model to attach the Ultraleap (NOT the Leap) to the Reverb G2 ? Thanks

Hi, I don't fly anymore so I'm selling my gear : Shipping to Canada only, or local pick up in Montreal. Let me know if you have any questions! I can provide pictures upon request. Grips : - Virpil Mongoost-50CM2 grip (like new) : 200$ + shipping - Thrusmaster Warthog grip (very good condition except for some red paint fading on the right side of the trigger) : 150$ + shipping Base : - Virpil Warbrd (like new) : 150$ + shipping Throttle : - TM Warthog Throttle : 300$ + shipping VR headset : - HP Reverb G2 (great condition, includes V2 cable) : 100$ + shipping

Hope somebody can bring some light in this matter. And in my reverb Since recent my reverb headset is acting up in DCS. After a while (15-20 minutes into the game) the headset blacks out. It does this always in the same pattern. First the left screen, then both screens and then turn back on. And that repeats itself. In a regular pattern, sometimes it blacks out quickly, sometimes it take little longer but generally within a minute. I thought it was caused by the latest nvidia driver so I installed an older version (572.83) but no change It looks like there is no problem in MSFS in VR Looking at the log file (not really sure what I am looking at though) I see a massive amount of warnings and errors including errors in the GRAPHICSCORE (17804) Is there something obvious going wrong here? dcs.log

Does anyone else have this? This isn't a DCS problem; it happens with anything. I've been playing KCD2 and have been away from VR for a while. My GPU is a 7900 XT. The monitor still shows everything normally. The only fix I have found is to switch to 60 Hz.

As in the title of the topic, mbucchia is doing the miracle and Reverb G2 and G1 will stike back because support for W11 24H2 will come for fall thanks to mbucchia. Also the others WMR headset will be supported by the new Oasis driver. Mbucchia is a living legend!!!!

I have a G2 gathering dust. My son had it awhile but santa brought him Quest 3 so after that it has not been used. From what I understood WMR support is not there anymore. I would like to put it in ebay or something, but it has no sense if some casual buyer buys it and raises a hell, because it is not working. Is there a use scenario for it (linux maybe) that someone might actually be interested in it and gets a value for his money? I am really thinking about putting some pointers into the description that people would get an idea that it might not be unproblematic, but if you put some work on it, you might get it to run ... somewhere ... somehow. Or should I just dump it?

dcs.log This is the log file posted immediately after crash. Until now it it worked "fine" - VR would display a blue screen for a split second and crash every now and than. Now it just crashes. Sometimes after a couple of minutes I spawn in the plane, some times immediately upon spawn.

Ciao a tutti. Sapete se esiste un modo che non sia il rolback al 23H2 di Win11 per usare il Reverb G2? Ho letto parecchio e a quanto pare non esiste nulla si "sostitutivo" in questo senso.

Hey all. Not too sure if anyone else is having this problem with their AMD Radeon graphics card? Everything seams fuzzy in general with lots of ghosting and after the patch. I initially made no changes to my settings, but putting on FSR made no improvement. In fact, I also started getting micro stutters. It was running perfect before the patch. I have a 6900XT on a decent PC. Anyone else?

Check out the preview branch of Oasis that just dropped. They've had trouble with the G1, but G2 supposedly works. It won't necessarily be perfect, but that could keep you going with the Reverb for a while longer.

thanks for sharing, pinned. I still have my reverb G2, which I did love, but its in a box in the loft

Before you abandon your Reverb G2 check out these 2 videos. I bought a Q3 to replace my G2, but it just has no where near the visuals of the G2 (IMHO).

I rented a Reverb G2 in 2021 and immediately ordered my very own the first weekend of flying VR, the rest is history. I haven't flown in 2D since.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve looked into the Reverb G2, but it has roughly the same resolution as the Pico 4, so it wouldn’t really improve visual quality. Also, I think it would go over my budget.

Bit of a risk but would any of these from Aliexpress work? https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-hp-reverb-g2-power-cable.html

I have some mura in my Super. But it is little. It is no problem. I have to look for it. So, I don’t think about it. My old Reverb G1 and my Sony PSVR2 has much more. Much more.

I'm just reporting that I went from a 9900k with DDR4 3600 64GB to a 9800x3d with DDR5 6000 64GB. No FPS gain in a Reverb G2. They say the 24h2 gives AMD gains, but I am stuck in 23h2 to keep the Reverb working until the Pimax Super shows up.

When you don’t have a (very) high end system, I’d avoid headsets with very high resolution/PPD (pixels per degree). Something with similar specs as a Reverb G2 for example should work quite well

I'm using a Reverb G2.

The Reverb headsets are good, and I ran one for years. I'd recommend the PSVR2 now, if you can stretch to it. The comfort is better (although subjective) and most importantly it can now do dynamic foveated rendering which will get you the most bang for the buck out of your current hardware.
