fargo007 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I realize it's only been out a short time, but we still need a thread to discuss. Thinking about the plus, but I really want to hear some reports from DCS pilots that have shaken it out a bit. I can't find anything DCS specific but some reviews I saw indicate that the anti SDE technology does work. If someone's already digging in to DCS with the Odyssey plus, please share your experiences & impressions. Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have my Odyssey+ tomorrow and offer my impressions as it relates to original odyssey (I returned it) and my Rift (which I've used exclusively for DCS for the past 2 years).

kreidel Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I have had mine now for just over a week. It's great but it is not as comfortable as my Rift. Reduced SDE is fpr real. Slightly more FOV than my Rift (my opinion). I wish they could put these panels in my Rift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fargo007 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 It's far past a longshot that the level of improvement in this technology (for now) will be linear with the price point. I'm pretty sure you know that going in. Even so, this is coming in at $150 over the rift, so we'd be looking for $150 worth of improvement. It kinda seems like it's there from the initial reports so far. Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolk Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Hi I’m looking for your feedback before buying Odyssey+ I understand that the anti SDE will smooth image, with a positive effect on « outside of the cockpit » environment, but my concern is cockpit readabilty. At the moment I run Oculus at 2.0 and cockpit is pretty readable without zooming Would appreciate your feedback on this: is Odyssey+ making cockpit instruments sharper and more readable vs Oculus SS 2.0?

kreidel Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Mr_sukebe, too me because it doesn't fit my head comfortably so it makes it too hard to say. No doubt the panels are higher res, more vibrant colors and reduced SDE. If I had no headset I would buy it over the Rift. If I owned a Rift and had a limited funds I would pass on the Odyssey+. I used and elastic strap to help with comfort. Jolk, it won't hurt cockpit readability. It's higher resolution makes it slightly better. They didn't blur the SDE as much as they put light into it. The one problem I have with it is the vertical sweet spot seems smaller. In my Rift I could move my eyes to read where as now I have to move my head.

Jolk Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Thank you Kreidel, Looks like your feedback is shared on the web regarding sweet spot size. Overall you still prefer Odyssey +?
