JetCat Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Hello and a wonderful weekend to you all I have zero experience with PC VR, but several dozens of hours with PlayStation Pro VR in Gran Turismo and Ace Combat 7 VR. That´s why I wanted to know which VR headset is best on PC for users with limited budget. The Oculus Quest 2 currently costs 350 € and I wanted to know how good it is for DCS jet and Hind flying. (Wow I love that Hind it kinda feels like sitting in some retro-future eighties mech!) Is the graphics and the resolution of the Oculus Quest 2 awesome, or is a strong fly-fence effect visible with low resolution and strong immersion-breaking line shimmering and aliasing effect? The second question about the Oculus Quest 2 is about sizes dimensions proportions and scaling in the virtual 3D space. PlayStation VR always had a problem about getting size proportions correct! In many PS-VR games the scaling was completely off and waaaay to small, sometimes stuff in PSVR was almost half the size of it´s real world counterpart (only "Farpoint", "Robinson the Journey", "The Inpatient" and "Resident Evil 7" got the scaling and proportions right, in Gran Turismo and Ace Combat my virtual hands had the size of a seven year old child and the cockpits only had about 3/4 of the real world´s size....). This is why scaling is so important - is the scaling and the feeling of size and dimensions in PC-VR Oculus Quest 2 correct and life-like, or will I again have the feeling of being some 120 centimeter baby dwarf body on an elementary school pupil´s chair when looking down on my own virtual body and cockpit seat? In VR especially the scaling and the feeling for dimensions is very important for realism and the perfect being-inside-a-cockpit mood and atmosphere. The third question is about the controls. The Oculus Quest 2 has some hand-pieces or hand-controllers I don´t know how this things are called. Is this used to click switches inside the cockpit, or can the mouse be used? Thanks for the answers Edited November 6, 2021 by JetCat
Svsmokey Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 Yes , you can use a mouse (or better , a trackball) . Aliasing-my personal VR bugbear ! It is reduced with greater resolution , but I was surprised to see that even in a thru-the-lens video of the Varjo Aero , i could still see some DCS has a world-scale setting mysteriously described as "ipd" in the VR settings . Default works for me . 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2
