DerekSpeare Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 I have a G1 but a G2 is on the way. The lager sweet spot is the reason.

VirusAM Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Hi, thanks for your videos. Can you tell us please the reported resolution for steamvr at 100% In the past I tried the reverb and i had bad performances, now i have the index and it reports an higher res (100% is the double of the real index resolution) then the reverb but performances are much better. Could you tell us also the difference with the reverb set at half resolution? Which is the reported res, how worse it looks and if performances gains this way are real...

Thanks Probably your bad performances were due the reprojection or the lack of it. I had friends who switched from the RiftS to the Reverb and find that the performance is better in the latter. In my case I switch from a Odyssey+ and get the same feeling.. Seems that the rendered resolution of the reverb is spot on and fits directly or near directly the screen, and the others render at bigger resolution in order to adjust to the screens. In other words, seems that other headsets waste a part of the rendered resolution.

Hi I own the odyssey plus and night flying is awesome with very vibrant colours the rift s was horrible so how does the G2 stand up against the odyssey for night flight. Thanks.

Thanks. I haven't received yet the G2 but in the G1 the colors are worse than the Odyssey +, that's because the different type of display. The problem I had with the Odyssey was the light leaks into the headset.. I ended flying night missions with a balaclava to avoid it.. the light reflected into the lens creating a very annoying effect, and something similar happens with the lights on the cockpit.. I remember how I had to turn down all the F-18 cockpit lights in order to fly.. I had no remorse when switching to the G1.. yes, the colors were worse, but the clarity of the displays, the comfort and the performance are way, way better..

I used "VR Cover" which is a must for the odyssey to stop the light and for comfort . Thanks for the reply.
