Dang that is not good to hear. Making me regret not paying with my credit card over debit card. 

Ya I definitely feel like they are trying to blow me off. Are you thinking about returning yours too?

My prescription lens from VR lens lab came in today, with their special VR frame glasses.  My regular eyeglasses don't fit in well inside the Aero and my contact lens are multi-focal so I had no idea what I'd been missing until today.  With the new VR lens lab stuff, vertical edge to edge clarity is 100% and horizontal edge to edge clarity is at least 90%.  I'm glancing left and down inside the Harrier's cockpit and the bottom edge is crystal clear with completely legible texts on the left back panel.  That is just crazy.

Yeah the overall clarity across the image is a sight to behold for sure.

Yeah, a friend came over to check out my setup the other day and he was pretty much blown away saying he had no idea VR images could look as good as flatscreen like this (he’s using the Rift S).

This strap works pretty well with the Aero also.  Not bad for $5.  I've been using this instead of the more expensive one which is now attached to my HiFiMan Ananda headphones.

Been experimenting with various settings.  Currently I'm running the headset at Highest on Varjo software, but in SteamVR SS is reduced to 60% which corresponds to 3,212 horizontal pixels (which is still higher than High Varjo setting with 3,140 horizontal pixels).  The advantage I can see is that shimmering seems even more minimal with this, and blacks seem to look more black at this setting.  Of course this could just be placebo so will have to keep playing more.  On the Vive Pro 2 though, the clarity is definitely better by running the headset at the highest pixel count and reduce Steam SS as needed.

EDIT:

Found that Highest setting causes CPU frametime spikes with Revive titles (Lone Echo, etc.), so I stepped down to Higher setting and adjusted Steam SS to similar pixels and the problem disappears with minimal change in visual quality.  Also, vertical synchronization on seems to help reduce juddering.  You still get motion blur on the ground objects when flying by but the degree of juddering is more evenly paced and more natural.  Tested this with F-16 Syria free flight, and other than the blacks which aren't OLED level and some pixelated clouds the image quality is roughly the same as my 4KTV.  The cockpit truly looks pristine and the distance detail is excellent with Reshade Lumasharpen.  The visual clarity is also dependent on your vision, unless your corrected eyesight is 20/20 you may not perceive the true capability of this headset.  I did not realize how sharp this headset is until I started using it with the lens frame insert from VR lens lab, the frame's distance from your eye socket also determines the optimal sharpness (1 fingerbreadth for my face).

So I contacted both Fed Ex and Varjo this morning, was sent form 5106 and told I need to fill out and return, which I have done.

Will see if this gets my headset out of Fed Ex hell.

Apparently customs delays are still a thing. My headset has been stuck at FedEx for a couple of weeks. Varjo contacted me asking for an Importer Identity Form (CBP-5106) but I contacted FedEx directly and they said they are waiting for a Statement of Anti-Dumping Duties from Varjo. Not sure what triggered all this but I don't like the look of the 5106. I've never been asked to declare myself as an importer before and probably wont give up the required info just to get a toy.

Wow that is ridiculous. While it was a bit of a pain I was able to get it sorted and to me without much delay. But yeah I did fill out the form and send it to them. Nothing about anti-dumping duties though as far as I know. Varjo shipping to the states they really need to get all this sorted out. No customer should have to go through this hassle.

So no clickable DCS cockpits with this headset? Has anyone been able to fix the mouse cursor in cockpit so it lines up? Strange because menu items work fine, just cockpit switches and OSBs.
Graphics look great BTW, best I have ever seen.
