Takalti Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Hi all, First of all, I am completely new to DCS. I tried to do some of the initial training missions for the A10 but have found it difficult without head tracking. My question is - could my setup reasonably run VR or should I just get a TrackIR? Specs: Laptop (HP Omen) i7-9750h, 2070 maxP GPU, 32gb DDR4, 3tb NVME storage, Thunderbolt/USB-C, Mini-DP. I have a logitech X52Pro Hotas, and Cessna Pro Yoke / Quad / Pedals. I currently run a 27" 2k 144fps screen connected to the laptop. My steamVR test came back at max, with 0 frames under 90fps and 0 cpu bound frames. I am particularly looking at the HP Reverb G2, for use with DCS and MSFS. Yes I know I may have to adjust settings down a bit to make it good. Could this work, or should I just go with the "safe" option and get a TrackIR? Edited March 25, 2021 by Takalti

I use a quest, and a freind of mine just returned his G2 to Amazon, as it didnt run well on his 2080 Super..
Takalti Posted March 26, 2021 Author Posted March 26, 2021 I am ruling out anything that requires me to get a FB account - so my short list only includes the things that dont. Unfortunately the other big factor is what is available in Australia (which effectively ditches the Index). The logical remainder is the G2.
Takalti Posted March 26, 2021 Author Posted March 26, 2021 though have to admit that for $400 less creating an empty FB account might be worth it
