MilesD Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 So I just bought this thing out of curiosity of what a $299.00USD VR headset would be like. All I can say is, Holy Crap I like it. Much Clearer and better build quality than the Rift S, and because of my wide IPD, much clearer and better overall feel than the Reverb G1 for me. 1 Now shipping up to website Pre-Order Form date 2022/03/10 Pre-Order Form Submission https://pointctrl.com/preorder-form/ PointCTRL Support Discord https://discord.gg/jH5FktJ PintCTRL Website https://pointctrl.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesD Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Which Link cable do you use? Do you use an usb-c or usb-A connector? Thinking to get it....but unsure about the link thing..... Hey Vincent, Here is the Cable I bought, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The big improvement for me may be mostly because of the adjustable IPD, I just wish it went a little wider. It just works every time I put it on without any fussing about. I have used it a few times, and it works flawlessly. The double tapping of the case anywhere to activate the pass through is really helpful. No more lifting the headset to find stuff. I can see, and use my keyboard with the pass though when entering server passwords or using the search function when binding controls. It always drove me nuts when I had to lift the headset and put on my glasses to see stuff, now I just tap the headset twice and I am good. I only had to make a few adjustments to get a good pic, Nvidia Vsync to FAST, Max the Oculus resolution slider, DCS PD to 1. For me, this is a good enough place holder until gen3, or something comes out that will accommodate my IPD of 72.

Snake122 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Assuming a setting depending on your gpu. That setting may fit regular VR games, but not at all for dcs. Well beyond native resolution Actually, SteamVR does that on most VR headsets, for instance the 100% setting for my Pimax 5k+ is well over the native at a resolution 3412x2104 for wide FOV. But this SteamVR 100%>native resolution is extra noticeable in the G2 because they apparently set it extra high but is also supposed to go back to native in a future update. I would bet though that what RogueSqdn is seeing in those areas is where DCS is switching from GPU bound to CPU bound. I get similar experiences with my 3090 and my i7-9700kf@5.0ghz, especially close to a Supercarrier or on a lots of aircraft and ground unit MP mission.

RogueSqdn Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I think you're right, it's CPU bound in those areas with lots of objects: cities, FEBA, and crowded carrier decks. Hopefully that will improve with Vulkan. It's likely why I see a 5-10 fps increase when a Liberation mission is hosted on the old PC.

All I can say is, Holy Crap I like it. Much Clearer and better build quality than the Rift S, and because of my wide IPD, much clearer and better overall feel than the Reverb G1 for me. A few questions for you, if I can: 1) I have a Rift s. My Idea was to upgrade to a Reverb g2 (after a PC upgrade, when the new Nvidia 30 or AMD 6000 GPUs will finally appear in stores), but I have an IPD of 74 mm. Do you think a Quest 2 is a better option? How is the display clarity over the Rift s? And over the original Reverb? I know oculus link works compressing data and then decompressing inside the HMD, does this behaviour affect visual clarity and frame rate? I like my Rift s and the Oculus VR software is amazing, so it would be a great news if I could get a performance and visual boost with a Quest 2 over my Rift s, thus keeping the Oculus environment. 2) I'd like to buy a pointctrl. If I compile the form on pointctrl site will I get the V2 version? Is this enough to do, or have I to do something else here? Thanks. 3) I have a 3d printer; do you provide stls for the sensor mount, in case I'll change my HMD later on? I'm from Italy and I think it would be quite tricky to add a second order for just a plastic spare part. Thanks and keep the good work, your device appears to be amazing!

RogueSqdn Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I've gotten my G2 and new system dialed in fairly well for DCS now. I decided to focus on quality and a smooth experience rather than trying to keep 90FPS. Over the front in a Liberation campaign in Syria, I'm still getting 45+ FPS.

Apologies nessuno0505, I kept scanning by that Quest2 pic and thought it was my post and didn't see your questions. 1) For me it's a big improvement over the S, but that come in large part from the adjustable IPD, I have a 72 IPD. Aside from the slightly higher res displays the optics seem a better for me also. A big plus for me is the PnP of it all. I just put in on, click on the Oculus link, and point to DCS and it starts perfectly every time without any fussing about. The S seem to take a few tries to get everything started properly, but that may have been me. Plus having option for wireless room scale content is interesting. 2) You will get v2, I am going to start posting IPR (in progress reports) with pics tonight so everyone can see where we are with it. I know there is a lot of frustration out there with the delay. Posting IPRs will also help keep me stay focused on PointCTRL. 3) Yes you are correct, $15.00 USD shipping for a $8.00 USD item doesn't make sense. Most people buy an extra mount with their initial kit for device they are planning on upgrading. However if you need a STL for a new HMS, I do provide the stl so can print your own. Thanks for your support, I wouldn't say it's amazing, but it does work for us flight simmers in DCS.
